 You’ve returned from basic training; now let’s see you use what you’ve learned. This short segment features no enemies,allowing you to get acquainted with the use of the bionic arm in a real-world environment. You’ll also get your first glimpseof the terrible state of Ascension City’s battered streets. This place is in desperate need of help, soldier, so let’s get moving!Better get out of this building before it collapses. Headthrough the giant hole in the nearby wall to get your first look at the outside world. Whoa, what a rush! The city might be in terrible shape,but there are still plenty of objects for you to grapple andswing on. You can’t latch onto buildings that are covered inradiation (the blue stuff), but streetlights, traffic signals, and various signage are all viable targets for your wire. Spendsome time swinging about the street, aiming to complete your new challenges.
That strange-looking blue stuff covering the buildings isradiation. This substance is extremely hazardous to bionics, soyour arm’s systems won’t allow you to grapple anything that’scovered in blue. Dense pockets of radiation can kill you fast, sodon’t linger near radioactive areas.

The city’s in roughshape indeed.Much of it liesbattered, andradiation blanketsevery buildingin sight. What atragedy. Someone will pay for this. You’re way uphigh and there’sonly one waydown. Take adeep breath andjump for it! Don’t  worry; Nathan’s atough dude, and you won’t come to any harm when you land on the street below.
