[Music] you did well Sam thank you Bridget May no longer be with us but her Legacy has a chance to live on Sam listen to me America reconstructionism her dream isn't dead I don't want to hear it this is the face of our new hope our new America [Music] [Applause] [Music] Hy my mother may be gone but I'm here and you Sam you're here too been 10 years since you saw each other right and in all that time she hasn't aged a day he knows why my body's still on the beach I don't get to grow older but you do Sam you look good so you're serious then about reconnecting everyone and everything someone has to succeed Bridget Sam more importantly some someone has to carry on her Legacy and see our country rebuilt Samantha America strand our new president A New Beginning for our people for our nation under Emily's leadership we'll reestablish the UCA the United cities of America this is how we'll rebuild our country but we'll need your help to do it Sam no I'm through with this I said mby to all of you when I said him to Bridget we never forgot about you Sam you ran away you cut us off Emily put together an expedition the best of bridges won and went West [Music] I led them past craters in BT territory I kept them safe while they searched for survivors never once mred a BT saw him coming a mile away we convinced against Community after Community to join the UCA and we left behind our own people to help them it took us 3 years but we managed to make it all the way to EDG knot City all the way to the Pacific Jesus yeah but then everything went to hell the team was wiped out and Emily was taken taken I'm not being kept in a cell or anything like that I'm allowed to use their facilities and to speak with you whenever I want I just can't leave the city it's all to safegard the continued independence of EDG knot City that's what her keepers are saying at least they want the UCA to leave him be Emily's their insurance policy in case we don't who are these [ __ ] again home demons militant separatist group they run EDG not City I've heard of them bunch of terrorists who go around towns killing people and leaving craters right nothing's off limits for them not even engineering voidouts you think the suicide that took out Central knot was one of theirs could be they're extremists like the demons everywhere plotting in the shadows they're decentralized by Nature no one organization to rule them all just a common ideology I know not everyone shares our vision for the future if we Americans don't come together again Humanity won't survive I carried my mother's message to people all across the country but not everyone was willing to accept it more than a few would rather stay isolated keep to themselves go it [Music] alone like you Sam they think that America can only be rebuilt by force by men who tell them what to do who take away their freedom and put them in shackles would you put on me huh you know better than the demons just another kind of cult they're not shackles Sam they're a symbol of our bonds that's what we need right now not to stand apart but to come together to form Kyu knots and reconnect Sam we want you to go west and finish what Emily started the people she left behind have been hard at work setting up Cairo Network terminals but these terminals are still isolated we need you to bring them online and for that you'll need a cupid this contains all the necessary security and operations protocols to integrate a terminal into the Cairo web take the cupid West Sam and reconnect the people of our great nation and when you get to EDG knot City find Emily and bring her home after that I'll take over the presidency and carry on mother's work to save the country this was Bridget's dying wish this is how we'll move forward please Sam we need you I'm Sam Porter Bridges now I'm not a strand hell I'm not even part of this outfit you all saw to that I'm not getting involved with you or anyone else ever again wait [Music] see it's like I'm not even here same as it ever was Sam Sam hold on stop listen to me America needs you both of you yeah covering the world in cable didn't bring an end to Warren suffering don't act surprised when it all comes apart if you try to do it again round and round it goes connect reconnect it's not that simple all right all right Sam just take it easy I get it you don't have to commit to anything now why not get some rest good idea we all need our sleep leave it too long and you're liable to reconnect with the other side the necessary maintenance has been completed various adjustments and fine tuning for your benefit you can use it again for once it would seem that Dooms and BB's are a good [Music] combination or perhaps the two of you have something of an affinity for one another [Music] [Music] Sam listen you are Sam strand no I'm not not anymore my name is Sam Porter Bridges it's a funny word strand a strand is part of rope or Bond while stranding means being washed up on the shore and being stranded is when you can't go home I'm stranded now Sam here on the shore of the Pacific [Music] thousands of miles away but our bond still [Music] holds you're free but we're still connected don't tell me we're not [Music] come back Sam [Music] I'll be waiting for you [Music] wait good morning Sam [Music] Sam this is D Hardman you were out like a log must have been beat private rooms come with all the basic amenities shower toilet Etc drop in when you need to rest inspect your gear review info or whatever else if you have any questions feel free to ask our staff but before you do why not check things out for yourself see how bridges operates these days Sam this is dead man I calibrated your bb based on physiological data we collected from you earlier it's still just the best guess though after you take it out for a spin we can check if you're in sync and tweak the BB sensitivity as needed hey there believe we've met I oversee delivery operations as well as maintenance and repairs nice to have you on board I'm mama in case I didn't mention it before those there are strands not just used for packing by the way but for identification too take a closer look and you'll see see the red there that's your blood this case will remove any chyro matter still clinging to your suit uh speaking of Suits blue is for delivery Personnel red for medical orange for corpse disposal and black for security for h Sam Hartman here researcher devoted to uncovering the secrets of the beaches and the death stranding as well as those of Dooms and repatriates when you relieve yourself a certain amount of chyal matter is flushed from your system chyal matter can adversely affect hormone secretion and nervous function there's a correlation between exposure and the development of phobias as well as in extreme cases violent and suicidal impulses kyum contamination has even been postulated as a trigger for the onset of Dooms allow me to collect a sample of your excretions for my studies they provide a non-invasive means to monitor your exposure to kelum and your overall health [Music] with that terminal there you can browse the bridges database which has info on a range of subjects you don't have clearance for everything but there's still plenty you might find informative [Music] for for for e for for for for for for well have you had a chance to think it over chalk full of kium but safe for you Dooms guys to wear that's all you'll need to go forth and reconnect the world to make us whole again I'm a porter I don't care about connecting anything or making knots but I'll do what I have to to help amaly out listen up Sam the terminals amal's people built in the towns and cities they passed through on their Journey West are called knots the infrastructure's there but the Cairo network is offline right now it's only capable of transmitting voice Communications sometimes wired sometimes Wireless and a small amount of data so unless the necessary data stored on site our chyo won't show up Emily and the other Bridges members you've seen around the place are grams generated with local data in case you didn't know anyway all you've got to do is find the knot connect your Cupid and bring CYO Communications online once you connect it to the terminal you'll be able to initiate zero time massive data transmission with the UCA Network and just like that you'll reconnect us not only to each other but to our past h all the lost and fragmented junk data will be compiled and restored like bringing a dinosaur back to life from a [Music] fossil 4.6 billion years of history on Earth all the wisdom and knowledge we lost since the death stranding will be ours again and that my friend is how we'll beat this Thing Once you establish chairo Communications generating grams won't be an issue you'll also be able to use chiro printers won't be long before we're able to send all kinds of things through the wire except anything original or that's got a soul nothing real just copies true which is why we'll still need Porters like you before and after we're made whole we'll need men in the middle no rest for the wicked [Music] huh yeah well Idle Hands and all that we'll give you the details at the dispatch terminal make sure you check it upstairs drop's waiting up there too these shoes look like they've done some serious miles shall I dispose of them wait hold on there's something I want you to look into my blood seemed to set those things off happen more than once set them off how do you mean I don't know you took my blood didn't you you tell me all right I'll see what I can do [Music] I'm sorry Lisa don't worry I'll take care of him I promise you maybe maybe can you hear me can you hear me stady [Music] Sam this is D har your current objective is to extend the Cairo network from here to portn City I don't think you can make a be line straightforward signal won't carry that far to cover the distance we need to utilize knots think of it like tiing ropes together to make a longer rope the first of these knots is a Bridges Way Station go ahead and take a look at the order deliver whatever they need and connect the cupid Sam order summaries may contain information critical to your success make sure to review them before getting underway for Sam now we've supplied you with some rope and a ladder for this run they should help with the steeper inclines and the ladder will also make a halfway decent bridge if you need to cross a river right now I figure you're thinking about how you want to handle this order [Music] for [Music] order assigned beginning scan have a pleasant journey Sam triple checked your load out I take it okay safe traps h for have Jour Sam you see that sign someone left over there you can leave some of your own if you'd like messages warnings words of encouragement whatever comes to mind keep on keeping on hello helloo beginning stand scanning Bridges ID verifying ID clear all clear welcome Sam Porter Bridges Sam even the best Porters have been known to lose their cargo but you're better than the best you've got what it takes to finish what they started if you come across any abandoned shipments consider taking them to their intended destination it's easier than you might think see all our packages are tagged with Bridges IDs for easy tracking and your odre de is equipped with a scanner which might detect set which is a roundabout way of saying but that thing on your shoulder can help you locate mislay shipments remember Sam every parcel is a promise made to a person in need and they're counting on you to deliver he Sam a well-placed ladder can get you safely across most rivers you know maybe try using the one we issued you I'm Sam can h d Sam remember that prolonged exposure to timefall damages cargo containers don't stay out in the rain any longer than you have to [Music] [Music] you got caught me [Music] see oh [Music] [Applause] w h [Music] [Music] w [Music] [Music] [Music] bring it easy Sam you're clear of BT territory the death stranding is to blame for all of this the gazers the fall of America everything it warped the world beyond recognition Humanity had to scramble like rats fleeing a sinking ship but there's nowhere else to go there's no future living like this if we're to survive we need to find another way a way to overcome the BTS the death stranding the whole damn mess for for need [Music] yeah I feel you get okay r [ __ ] this h [Music] beginning scan scanning Bridges ID verifying idid clear cargo verified thank you [Music] delivering cargo thank you we've all been feeling the loss of central not City no one seemed to know what it meant for the organization or the UCA or us the oxytocin will take the edge off and that'll be a big help won't be long before we're back on track we me have a look this is great thank you again yeah everything looks to be in good order and soon our way station will be too I hope for [Music] you're with the second team right where are the others dead caught in the void out no way that one glass got them all and what they just sent you out on your own I mean if it was just a delivery that'd be one thing Porters come through from time to time but the second team was meant to bring the cupid they were going to connect us up 3 years we've been waiting for help three years and they sent us one guy who [ __ ] [ __ ] [ __ ] tell me you brought more than the oxy at least I've got the cupid you really so it's true they finally got it working well then you just might be the answer to my prayers so what are you waiting for but you you put us on the goddamn grid [Music] I for connection to Capital not City confirmed it's really happening just like amaly promised we can finally do what we came here to do hey you're headed west right going to be a lot of people happy to see you I guess you'll keep on till you hit the coast huh which means you'll get to see amaly in person oh that's something that is really something me I've never met her only seen her Hollow messages back when I was with the first expedition well anyway you best be careful on the road there's some bad people out there more than good some say but I don't need to tell you that thank you Sam by bringing that way station into the Cairo Network you've put it in direct contact with those of us back here in Capal KN city right what's next west of the way station are a couple of structures our previous Expedition put in place and Beyond them is your next destination portn city it's on the shore of a crater lake that formed after the first void out your objective is to link up port and capital knot but to do that you'll need to utilize our facilities as additional way points they'll be essential for establishing a stable connection given the distance we need to cover we're looking at using a distribution center and a power station as to which you should head for first start with the dist Center we've got some cargo that needs delivering anyway check the nearby delivery terminal to pick it up good work New Order available please access delivery terminal for further information your hard work's paying off Sam thanks to the increase in network capacity HQ is now in a position to provide you with additional materials and support should prove useful good work Sam I see you brought in some lost cargo feel free to submit it here for processing if you come across anymore while out on a run and don't think you can carry it to its destination you can always put it in storage it'll be safe and secure until another Porter comes along to finish the job even if it has to pass through a dozen more hands before it arrives you can rest easy knowing you did your part for for delivering cargo [Music] he for Sam you can use that PCC to build a post box [Music] [Music] is Sam if you're in the middle of a run and decide you need to secure your cargo temporarily or entrust it to another Porter you'll want to make use of a post box in addition to Cargo post boxes can also be used to share gear and weapons if you're so inclined now I'm sure you've used them before but humor me and build one maybe between Capital knot and that way station if you're lacking a PCC I'm afraid you'll just have to scr it up yourself [Music] for for order assigned weapons restrictions lifted he he he light h heads up Sam for for for for your cargo's been pinged move now before someone has eyes on you get to your destination ASAP if you don't want to get caught for for
