	As the GLUTTONS closed in on him, Tommy remembered how he got here in the first place. It was because of STRAFE®. The game had taken his girlfriend Abby, but he got her back and killed a fake. But then, somehow, STRAFE® managed to being generating levels in the real world. Tommy had gone on a shotgun rampage against STRAFE® whilst on a skateboard, but something caused him to fall onto the grass. One GLUTTON grabbed his leg to pull it off. Suddenly, Tommy remembered the shotgun in his right hand. He lifted it up and fired at the GLUTTON. Blood courtesy of STRAFE®’S ÜBER-GORE® technology sprayed out from where its head once was. Tommy gets back on his feet and shoots the other GLUTTONS. In the corner of his eye, Tommy sees Abby’s Skull Token. Could this have been what knocked him down? No, Abby would never try to kill him. Suddenly, he sees wrench fly right by him. He looks to where it came from and sees Abby! She’s pissed, and charges straight at him. Tommy shoots her left leg off, and she falls to the ground. “What the hell was that for?!” Tommy yells. “You were supposed to die. It was all part of my plan.” “What plan?” Tommy thinks to himself. Then he realizes he made a big mistake while he was in STRAFE®. He killed the real Abby and took the fake! Tommy finishes Fake Abby off, and he gets his sunglasses back on and hops on his skateboard to continue the massacre. A STALKER on a skateboard comes out of the alleyway to race Tommy. It tries to push Tommy off the skateboard, but Tommy fills it with buckshot. Tommy sees a few GLOWBRITES in the air that rush at him. Tommy kicks the ground to go faster, and eventually has to shoot the GLOWBRITES. They explode into acid. Tommy passes under a bridge, where a CARRIER leaps down behind him. It jumps over him, but he shoots it in mid-air. Tommy realizes he has to reload. He fills the shotgun with shells. He doesn’t see where he’s going though, as he falls into an open manhole. He lands in sewer water. He gets back up and walks through the dark, damp place. He passes by a HARVESTER lurking in the shadows. It jumps on him and is just about to slice him open when its head explodes from buckshot. A STALKER runs up to the carnage. Tommy rips its head off. Blood sprays onto his face. He gets back up and moves on. He shoots a CARRIER on above him. Eventually, he finds a ladder out of the sewers. Once he gets back out, he sees a rift into STRAFE®. “Can’t go wrong any further” Tommy says as he walks into the white light. He sees the Armory Vaults in the scout ship. He ditches the shotgun he has right now and grabs the shotgun from the game. He walks out of the room and through the teleporter into the ICARUS. Once there, he starts massacring GLUTTONS again. He picks up a Nailgun and stores it on his back for later. He launches a Flak Grenade at a group of GLUTTONS and shoots a HIVE down.
