Grimsby, England (level)
From the Resistance Wiki
Grimsby is the second level of Resistance: Fall of Man. The level takes place in an old fish cannery which has been turned into a Chimeran Conversion Center. It is here that Sgt. Nathan Hale meets Cpt. Rachel Parker and learns how the Chimera are created and how they vary in creation (such as Hybrids taking hours or a few days to create, while Titans and other larger creatures take several months).

[edit] Synopsis
Sgt. Nathan Hale wakes up in Grimsby's conversion center after the Chimera launch a spire attack on York, England which brought a sudden end to the United States' attempt to recapture Britain from the Chimera and infected the remainder of the 1st Ranger Regiment
When Sgt. Nathan Hale comes to his senses in the conversion center he sees Menials stripping human bodies and preparing them for the conversion process. He kills them and the other Chimera that are in the conversion center, then he goes through a door to a conversion cage area with soldiers from the British Army stuck in the cages almost seconds away from being converted. Two call out to him to try and free them, but when he goes near the cage Crawlers emerge from a vent and infect both of the soldiers in front of Sgt. Nathan Hale's eyes. Then a female voice calls to him and he darts over to the cage she's in, and discovers it's Rachel Parker. She tells him to shoot the control panel, which he does, and she escapes through a vent, but not before she tells Hale her frequency on the radio so they could contact each other. Hale pulls a lever and goes through a door to a field full of lancer mines. He destroys them all and finds a Rossmore 236 Combat Shotgun near the foot of a stair case up.
It takes a few minutes before the Chimera realize Nathan Hale and Rachel Parker escaped their cages and are trying to escape the center. The Chimera regroup and try and stop their escape. Nathan Hale, in the meantime, had found a lift and was walking through this deserted fishing town, destroying the few mines that were there, when he entered a building. The Chimera attacked him in an ambush, but he managed to kill them all and escape. He went into another building north east and Leapers attacked him, after they died he went down some stairs and into a lift, then is told by Rachel Parker that she had left the center and was waiting for him. She also tells him to be careful of ambushes, but the moment he left the lift and entered the building itself he was attacked by waves of Chimera until he encountered two sentry guns, which he managed to destroy. He then escaped Grimsby and went with Rachel Parker who later told him to go to Northern Command. He then left with a squad of soldiers heading to Manchester, England before she could say a word.

[edit] Fates Worse than Death 12th July 1951 - 03:15 GMT
Cutscene Hale wakes up near a group of comatose soldiers and spy on two Menials, which they strip the clothes off a comatose soldier. One of the Menial places the soldier into a rack allowing a automatic tube to suck the body up.
Hale enters into a pen and hears shouting, seeing two imprisoned British soldiers.
- British Soldier 1: Oy, MATE! over here!!
- British Soldier 2: HELP US! Get us the HELL OUT OF HERE!
Camera pans to a ventilation releasing a swarm of Crawlers infecting the soldiers offscreen as Hale grimly looks.
- Rachel Parker: HEY! Over here!
Hale runs over to Rachel's cell.
- Rachel Parker: The console! SHOOT the console!
Hale obliges and destroys the said console with his carbine, preventing the vents releasing any Crawlers into Rachel's cell.
- Rachel Parker: (exasperated) Bloody hell! [to Hale] Thanks for coming. I'm Parker.
- Nathan Hale: Hey, I'm Sergeant Hale, 1st Rangers.
- Rachel Parker: (perplexed) An American? We thought the Chimera stop all of you in York?
- Nathan Hale: (puzzled) "Chimera" ?
- Rachel Parker: Those creatures.
Rachel tries to push her cell door but finds it stuck.
- Rachel Parker: Ugh, jammed it!
A empty ventilation shaft then opens by itself. Rachel then goes over and examines its interior.
- Rachel Parker: I'm sorry Hale. Looks like you'll have to find your own way out. [Grabs her radio speaker] I'll keep you in touch. My frequency is 77.6
Rachel enters and climbs up the shaft. Camera pans on Hale's face as it turns into a photograph.
- Rachel Parker (narrating): It is strange enough that a lone American soldier walking around at a Chimeran conversion center. But it was his eyes that was most disturbing. They show unmistakable Chimeran traits. It was subtle it was that, whoever Nathan Hale was. He wasn't entirely human.
After Hale comes down on an elevator.
- Rachel Parker [Radio Link]: Come in Hale. I want you to keep your eyes peel. We need to learn all we can about this place.
Once Hale advance into another area.
{Gameplay ends}
A photograph shows the Grimsby Conversion Center.
- Rachel Parker (narrating): The conversion center was built on top of a old fish cannery. A network of tubes transporting the bodies from one stage of conversion to another.
Photograph shifts to a human being inside a tube in a fetal position.
- Rachel Parker (narrating): Once humans are infected by the Chimeran Virus they fall into a coma. The virus begins changing their bodies from the inside-out.
Scene changes to a examination room with two Menials.
- Rachel Parker (narrating): Eventually turning them into one of one of the Chimeran creatures. The conversion was simply speeding up the process.
