Episode 1- A Savage Earth

"The world was certainly a better place whithout them. People lived in cities once; drove cars, made love, had kids, put down roots. Not like now, too scared to stay in one place for more than a month."

- Father to Low in the Abandoned Mine.

A Savage Earth is the first mission of Future Tactics.

Pepper's Diary
''Dad always said it was important  to write everything down. One day we won't be here, and future generations will want a document of the things that have happened.''

''Dad said that if more people from the olden days had done this, we'd have a better understanding of what went on before the Creatures came, and the Earth was changed. I don't know, though. I like looking for old tech relics, and piecing  together what they might  have been used for. It's like a puzzle...''

''Dad said that was the difference between me and Low. I thought things through- sometimes too much - he reckoned, while Low would just act before thinking. And it was always getting him into trouble...''

Synopsis
Low and Father  went fishing in a river near an abandoned mine. When Low catches a fish, he asks his father if they can leave now. Father questions whether Low didn't want to learn how to catch a fish before, while he replies that he didn't know it would be so boring. They suddenly hear an explosion somewhere nearby and verify that the creatures were scattered across the abandoned mine. Disrespecting his father's orders, Low advances toward the creatures, which forces Father to do the same.

Trivia

 * This is the only Episode that we can play with Father.
 * Father is the first character to have maxed upgrades, and cannot use the upgrade pack in the level.
 * Father's gun resembles a very large and long revolver, with what looks like a pump shotgun hand grip midway down the barrel of the gun.
