As the BETA travel to the base, the Soviet commander tells all but the Soviet TSFs to retreat to an area further than usual, with the intention of using the Soviet forces to buy time. With respect to this, the commander issues that all personnel in the base evacuate, leaving everything behind. Lt. Dahl and Yui confirm their suspicions that the evacuation is all but a ploy for the Soviet to get their hands on the Type 99. Yui evades Soviet troops and plans to blow up the Type 99. The Soviets altered the self-destruct code, rendering it incapable of being blown up. Suddenly, some BETA have already reached the base.
