However, one commander, Major Nathan Gries, begins to believe that the only way to keep the world safe from the Lost Tech is to locate and secure them, to prevent them from falling into enemy hands. Then one day, he receives an emergency message: “Emergency transmission from the White Fangs. An unknown signal has been detected beneath the Northridge Alps–” Faced with Lost Tech, Major Nathan Gries, Lord General Isoroku Tsukumo, and Wolfram, leader of the White Fangs, will face a new test.
