Campaign: (The last time Helga Sinclair saw Commander Rourke was when he inexplicably threw her off of their Gyro-Evac balloon and she fired a flare gun in revenge before going unconscious. Needless to say, hostility is quite heavy between the two and their animosity grows even more violent all for the petty desire for their cut of the profit. It ultimately leads to a brutal fight to finish what they started, which leads to both in handcuffs by the CPD.)
