As he explores the base, he encounters bloodstains and signs that he is not alone, and eventually discovers the bodies of several of Solis's crew, each suffering from stab wounds. Leary heads to the maintenance bay to restart the generator, but is attacked by Fort Solis' chief officer, Wyatt Taylor.
