Opening
''Admiral Briggs and Secretary David Petraeus are on the deck of the U.S.S. Barack Obama, awaiting the arrival of the recently apprehended Raul Menendez.

NOTE: Depending on whether the player finished the Strike Force missions successfully, determining whether the SDC is aligned to the American armed forces, their conversation will differ.

SDC aligned with American forces= Petraeus: Premier Chen has pledged China's military support to all U.S. operations, disrupting Raul Menendez's infrastructure in anticipation of the cyber attack.

Briggs: SDC is finished, Secretary Petraeus. America and China joining forces truly marks the beginning of a new era.

Petraeus: And one that you should be damn proud of, Admiral. SDC hostile towards American forces= Briggs: I have a thousand drones at standby alert, ready to move on my command. If Russia, or SDC gets any funny ideas, make no mistake Secretary Petraeus, your armed forces are ready.

Petraeus: The last order to DEFCON 3 was given by Secretary Rumsfeld almost 25 years ago.

Briggs: I know. I flew a patrol myself that day.

''The VTOL carrying Menendez has landed on the Obama. Section emerges from the aircraft and greets both Briggs and Petraeus.''

Section: Sir. Secretary.

''Section then signals for Menendez to move from the aircraft. Menendez slowly saunters towards Petraeus.''

Petraeus: President Bosworth sends her regards.

Menendez: For those souls who have toiled, and wrought, and thought with me... Some work of noble note may yet be done.

Briggs: Get this... cocksucker... off my flight deck.

Section: Gladly, sir.

''Section and Salazar move on to transfer Menendez to the holding room. Petraeus shakes hands with Briggs.''

Petraeus: We got him.

''Section watches from the security camera feed as Salazar watches Menendez. Salazar approaches Menendez.''

Salazar: It's good you do not talk. We can take our time.

Salazar brutally punches Menendez.

Menendez: I will speak only to David Mason. Bring him to me. I will tell him everything.

Briggs: David?

''Section enters the holding room. He is stopped by Briggs before going in.''

Briggs: Do what you can. I'll be on the bridge.
