Amidst a shareholder gala held by the Agnian Energy Company in the building, an environmental activist group naming itself Earth Revolution, of which Noah is a member, executes a violent takeover using sleeping gas canisters and taking Agnian’s administration, including company owners Geoffrey and Gerald Milton, and guests hostage. Marcus Blake, the group’s leader, is intent on exposing Agnian’s hypocrisy, as the company is promoting environmental exploitation and pollution, contrary to its publicly declared goal of switching to cleaner, renewable forms of energy, and has even murdered arrested members of the group before they could testify in their trials. When Geoffrey tries to parley with them, Noah kills him despite Blake’s orders, and Gerald runs off to hide.
