Acting as escort for Professor Rayleigh, the Player Turk joins three Shinra troops in protecting the Professor, who is carrying secret data on the SOLDIER program.

Attacked by Avalanche, one of the troops, named Cloud Strife, insists on proving himself. When the troops are killed by a Raven and Rayleigh's life is threatened, Cloud stands between the Player Turk and their orders are to prevent Rayleigh's capture even if it meant killing her.

As the kidnappers embark on a train, Cloud boards it as it leaves, leaving the Player Turk to deal with the Raven and catch up through the service tunnels. Boarding the train the Player Turk frees both Rayleigh and an injured Cloud. As more Ravens chase after them, the Player Turk, with orders to take the SOLDIER information and abandon the Professor and Cloud, instead puts them on a separated train car and stays to hold the Ravens off. In spite of their best efforts, the disk is taken by a Raven who was thought dead.
