Editing Red Faction (video game) (section)

==Plot==
''Red Faction'' takes place on Mars around the year 2075. Earth's minerals are being depleted and humans need more of them to survive. The vast Ultor Corporation runs the mining operation on Mars. The living conditions are deplorable, human rights for the miners are few, and a disease called "The Plague" is running rampant throughout the colony with no known antidote available—predominantly within the confines of the mine complex. Parker, a downtrodden miner, came to Mars to make a new start in his life—taken in by the promises and advantages Ultor has to offer in the mines of Mars. After a routine day in the mine with the typical aggression toward miners and cramped living conditions and poor nutrition, he witnesses the spark that starts a rebellion when a security guard abuses a miner at the end of his shift and attempts to attack him, causing the miner to fight back and kill the security guard.<ref>'''Eos:''' Workers in Mine M-4 have started the rebellion. They're fighting and dying for you as I speak!<span style="font-size: 90%;"> (''Red Faction'')</span></ref> Parker takes up arms, with the help of Hendrix, a rebellious Ultor security technician who guides Parker through the complex. Hendrix tries to get Parker to join up with a group of miners who are about to steal a supply shuttle and escape the complex, but Parker arrives too late. The shuttle takes off, and is destroyed by missiles moments later.<ref>'''Hendrix:''' Hurry, Parker. The miners are at the shuttle. / There they go. If only you'd been faster... / Maybe being slow isn't such a bad thing.<span style="font-size: 90%;"> (''Red Faction'')</span></ref>

Parker traverses through the Ultor complex, eliminating any resistance Ultor throws at him, and even (with the help of Orion, a high-ranking Red Faction member) kidnapping a high-ranking Ultor administrator, Gryphon, for Eos, leader of the Red Faction.<ref>'''Gryphon:''' I'll tell you what I can on the way, but more guards are going to show up soon. '''Parker:''' I'm right behind you. Betray me or try to run, and you'll be the first to die. <span style="font-size: 90%;"> (''Red Faction'')</span></ref> Parker learns from Gryphon about Dr. Capek, who created "The Plague". Capek has been experimenting with [[nanotechnology]], and the Plague is a side-effect of injections at the miners' annual medical checkup. Hendrix directs Parker to Capek's secret underground laboratory, where he and Eos meet up and take down Capek. As Capek dies, he tells Eos there is a cure for the Plague but refuses to tell her how to make it and dies. With Capek dead, the lab's self-destruction sequence initiates. Eos stays behind to find the files on the cure while Parker continues to the Communications center.<ref>'''Eos:''' Capek, the Plague. There's got to be a cure! '''Capek:''' It's simple, really. Stop the replicators. '''Eos:''' But how? How do you stop the replicators? '''Capek:''' Antidote, of course. '''Parker:''' Come on Eos! Lets finish him and get out of here. '''EOS:''' We need that antidote Parker. If you're not going to help Shut Up! Where is the antidote! '''Capek:''' Why help you? I hope you all die! <span style="font-size: 90%;"> (''Red Faction'')</span></ref> After sending a distress call to the Earth Defense Force, Parker destroys the missile defense system, so that he can [[stowaway|stow away]] on a shuttle to an Ultor space station in Martian orbit to deactivate a laser defense system without getting shot down.<ref>'''Hendrix:''' Ultor has a system of laser satellites orbiting Mars. They'll tear the fleet apart unless we disable them somehow.<span style="font-size: 90%;"> (''Red Faction'')</span></ref>

After destroying the space station, Parker lands back on Mars via an escape pod, Ultor brings out its reserve of mercenaries to help them in their fight against the miners. Hendrix tells Parker that the mercenaries have orders to destroy the mining complex, covering up any proof of Ultor's wrongdoing, Hendrix is killed soon after this by the mercenaries. After fighting his way through the mercenary base, Parker confronts Masako, the mercenary leader. After he kills Masako, Parker sees that Eos is tied up and sitting on the floor next to the bomb, which has been set to explode. After deactivating it, the Earth Defense Force arrives just in time to save Parker and Eos from a fighter aircraft. Eos tells Parker that an antidote for the Plague has been made and it is being given to any sick miners. She also tells him she is leaving Mars, and that Parker should enjoy his new status as a hero.<ref>'''Parker:''' So. What now? '''Eos:''' Relax, Parker, you're a hero. Enjoy yourself. Start dating. Maybe look for a new job. '''Parker:''' What about you? '''Eos:''' I won't be staying on Mars, that's for sure.<span style="font-size: 90%;"> (''Red Faction'')</span></ref>
