Storyline
In the year 2020, North Korean forces led by General Ri-Chan Kyong seize control of the remote Lingshan Islands in the Pacific. Stationed there, a team of American civilian archaeologists led by Dr. Rosenthal sends out an urgent distress call, claiming to have unearthed a discovery that could change the world forever. A week later, the United States Army dispatches Raptor Team, an elite Delta Force squad, to the islands with orders to evacuate the scientists and secure whatever they have found. Outfitted with cutting-edge Nanosuits that grant them enhanced strength, speed, armor, and cloaking abilities, the operatives, including the protagonist Nomad and his teammates, insert into hostile territory. But what begins as a straightforward rescue mission behind enemy lines soon spirals into something far stranger and more dangerous than any of them anticipated.
