In the truck one of the musketeers asks Ashley if he heard about the newly-special unit, and he says that if this quest is not active, he probably would not be chosen, whispers called the commander's request that asks Ashley to say his name, he humiliates him by saying that people like him are a danger in the field, and that he should not get in the way. When they arrive in the place the commander emphasizes that the security of the hostage is the priority of the mission, he warns that numerous monsters were sighted inside the place and alert the group not to lower the guard.
