  • misterwolf Clementine Valera, a stranded who lives near the mountain, is approached by an old friend of hers, Michael Barrick. He explains to Valera that her older sister Alicia was killed saving a life, but she already knows she was killed and is aware of who was responsible. Barrick notices the various signs of grief in Valera's eyes, and asks her if she wants to join the COG and offers her a place in his squad, Delta, originally Zeta, as he was sent by the squad's leader Minh Young Kim. Valera accepts, wanting to honor her sister. Arriving in Jacinto, Valera is welcomed into Delta by Kim, who introduces her to members Dominic "Dom" Santiago, Jace Stratton, Tai Kaliso, Clayton Carmine and his son Zachary.

  • misterwolf Valera bonds easily with the squad, especially Jace, Tai, and Clayton, and starts catching up with Barrick. Afterwards, the squad is ordered by Command, operated by colonel Victor Hoffman, to head back where Valera and Barrick had arrived in Jacinto from, indicating that they are being sent to Mount Kadar for several rescue missions.

  • misterwolf Accompanied by a robot named Jack, who also helps the squad contact Control, operated by lieutenant Anya Stroud, Delta make their way towards Kadar. Valera reveals her knowledge to the squad about her sister's death, but does not mention her last name, fearing that Kim's reaction would put the squad in danger. Before reaching Kadar, the squad is forced to save Alpha squad after Valera charges at members of the Locust army, the COG's rivals. Alpha is entirely killed except Damon Baird, their last member, and he joins Delta despite Kim's warning. Valera and Kim argue about the difference between honor and sacrifice, but are subsequently stopped by both Barrick and Control. Command joins Control on contact and, like Barrick and the rest of the squad, ultimately sides with Valera despite her rebellious behavior, reminding Kim that honor should be chosen first. Hoffman also shames Kim for not letting go of his anger towards the locust general RAAM, revealing that he only chooses sacrifice because of the past. Enraged and disheartened, Kim pressures on alone, forcing Barrick to temporarily take over command of Delta.

  • misterwolf Arriving at Kadar, the squad find that Kim has already entered and quickly discover that he was captured by the Locust. As they continue through and track Kim down, they question Valera about who her sister is, and she admits her full name to them all. Jace opens up to Valera about the fact that she could have been his sister-in-law, as he was in love with Alicia. Valera also finally confesses that she knows the killer of her sister is none other than RAAM, and she admits that she refuses to seek revenge, as it will not bring Alicia back. After numerous battles, the squad is finally able to locate Kim, and when they rescue him, he apologizes to Valera, who reluctantly reveals her name to him. Kim finally relents over his need for vengeance against RAAM, knowing that it will only result in either his or Valera's death.

  • misterwolf As they press on, they realize they have fallen into a trap. A heavy battle ensues, resulting in several casualties throughout the reinforcements, but Delta prevails. However, Valera sees a figure approaching through the fire and smoke, surrounded by a swarm of the kryll. When Zachary opens fire upon the figure, it is revealed to be none other than RAAM himself, who charges straight towards Zachary and stabs him to death, devastating Clayton. The squad lose the fight against RAAM, who escapes via the kryll, and Valera remarks "That's the first time I've seen the very warrior who murdered my sister."

  • misterwolf Meanwhile, RAAM consults Myrrah, the Locust Queen, who orders him to unleash a riftworm as a way to get Delta out of the way. Delta soon find themselves being swallowed by the riftworm afterwards; however, Dom is kidnapped instead. Valera wakes up from a memory/dream where she had watched her parents die, and how she was taken in by her sister. She then wakes up to find herself being shaken awake by Kim. Having dealt with a riftworm before, Valera assumes temporary leadership of the squad until they can cut their way out. After destroying all three hearts (revealed through Valera's guidance and experience), the squad cut their way out of the riftworm before they can drown in its blood. Command contacts the squad through Control, and Hoffman somberly explains that the mission has failed and that their new one is to rescue Dom.
