== Get into the Dam at night, when the Aurora is in the sky. ==
CHAPTER FIVE

RENEWED HOPE

''Mackenzie leaves Jeremiah and heads for the trailers outside the Carter Staging Area. He waits for the night to fall, and eventually the Aurora appears in the sky. As he prepares to pass into the Dam, a campfire catches his eye, and he sees a man sitting nearby. He approaches and talks to the man as a cutscene plays''

[[Methuselah]]: "The night is unforgiving. Join me by the fire."

Mackenzie: "Who are you?"

Methuselah: "I'm Methuselah. I'm out here to witness the passing of an age."

Mackenzie: "I'm not sure I understand what you mean."

Methuselah: "These are confusing Times. Let me see if I can help you make sense of them."

''Methuselah strokes his beard as Mackenzie takes a seat next to the fire''

Methuselah: "I'm an old man. I've seen many things. Some would say, too many. I've seen this happen before. We've sinned. Now we're paying the price."

Mackenzie: "Are you talking about religion?"

Methuselah: "Not religion. Redemption."

Mackenzie: "Is this about the lights in the sky?"

''Methuselah looks at the aurora in the night sky above them''

Methuselah: "The lights in the sky are a reckoning. The wonder of humanity and all its creations, laid bare. Her warnings went unheeded."

Mackenzie: "Whose warnings?"

Methuselah: "Mother Nature's. The signs were there, for those willing to see them. This has all happened before. Soon we'll all be tested. We'll all have to choose how far we'll got to survive."

Mackenzie: "What do you mean, this has happened before."

Methuselah: "Big change is coming. Are you ready to face it?"

Mackenzie: "I'm no hero. I'm just looking for someone. Doing my best to survive in the mean-time."

Methuselah: "Then I hope you find who you're looking for. Stay and warm yourself if you like. The world you are leaving won't be the same when you return."

''The cutscene ends. Mackenzie eventually leaves the strange man and enters the Dam''

== Find your way through the Carter Dam. ==
''Mackenzie enters the Dam as the lights flicker around him. He approaches the control Room door and uses the code Jeremiah gave him''

=== Use Jeremiah's code to access the control room. ===
''He enters the room and finds a switch box, turning the elevators back on''

Mackenzie: "There it is."

''Mackenzie finds a working elevator near the control room and presses the call button. The doors slide open.''

Mackenzie: "Well, I guess there's only one way to go from here."

''The elevator descends, but breaks as it reaches the bottom, with the doors partly opening and the elevator button sparking, too dangerous to touch.''

Mackenzie: "Holy shit, what was that?"

''Mackenzie uses a Prybar to force the doors open, and enters the turbine room.''

== Explore the guts of the Dam. Get through before daylight. ==
''Making his way around the obvious hazards on the floor, he reaches the lower dam. Another door with a keypad is found labeled "Emergency Exit", but it will not open no matter what Mackenzie does, and he moves on. He reaches the lower turbine room and sees more sparking wires on the floor.''

Mackenzie: "I'd better watch out."

''He finds another switch box and turns the power off, then crosses the room and ascends a stairwell. After reaching the top, he spots a doorway off in the distance with another exit sign. As he approaches it, an unseen force hits him in the back of the head and knocks him out. As he comes too, a figure approaches him and places [[Astrid's Hardcase]] on the floor at Mackenzie's feet. Mackenzie snaps awake and sees a man in a sheepskin coat wearing an orange jumpsuit, and realizes he is tied to a chair.''

[[Mathis]]: "A locked case. Well, that is interesting."

''The man walks behind Mackenzie's chair and then in front of him.''

Mathis: "A locked metal case is a thing of the old world, stranger. It's a world of things closed doors and things being off limits."

''The man punches Mackenzie''

Mathis: "Yeah, see I was part of that world. But that world's over. This is my world now. And in my world, I make the rules. In my world, see, there are no locks."

''The man savagely punches Mackenzie again''

Mackenzie: "Your world sounds crazy."

Mathis: "What's in the case?"

Mackenzie: "I have no idea."

Mathis: "WHAT's in the case?"

Mackenzie: "I hope it's painkillers."

''The man smirks''

Mathis: "Your ID says you're a pilot. You have a plane somewhere?"

Mackenzie: "My plane wouldn't do you any good."

Mathis: "Ya. Should I show you what happened to the last person who tried to lie to me?

''The man reaches for a [[Hatchet]] on a nearby shelf''

Mathis: "She didn't look so pretty after I was done."

Mackenzie: "She?"

Mathis: "Oh so now he's ready to talk."

''Approaches Mackenzie.''

Mathis: "Don't worry, pilot. You'll be with her soon."

''The man strikes Mackenzie with the back of the axe, and the episode ends.''

This is the end of the Predux timeline.{{Renewed Hope (Predux)}}
