The chapter starts the next morning as Marcus tells Hoffman he hadn't insisted in coming along. Hoffman responds that he didn't surrender the city during the Pendulum Wars and he was not going to leave it to a bunch of "glowies". As Marcus gets into the Rat Truck, he tells Cole and Baird to find reinforcements while they go to find the submarine (this is further explored in the new Gears of War: Judgment). As they leave, Marcus tells Jace to drive and the action starts.
