You watch in horror as the train leaves you in the distance, then you try to contact Morgan again, switching over to satellite radio in order to reach her. You still get the same static that you got earlier. You try again, and for a moment, you think you get through to her when the static breaks, but the connection disappears almost immediately.

You change your tactic and decide to call HQ instead. After twenty seconds, a bleary male voice answers you and says, "First Private Dorn Wilton? We've already sent a few men your way. What's the matter right now?" You tell the operator what just happened, and there's a moment of silence before he says, "Oh, shit…I'll alert the men I dispatched earlier, and we'll see what we can do about it. Just sit tight and wait for backup."

You sigh as the call ends and look away into the distance, where the train has already vanished with the artifact and Morgan onboard. There's no telling what's happening over there, and you just hope that everything will be all right in the end.

A loud howl pierces the night air and fills you with dread.
