You're one of the agents of the secret spy group "Rolling Bird". You have been sent to investigate the unidentified product called "Vaccum Filter", which is being produced in The terrorists' hideout. Their building, which is camouflaged as an ordinary factory is very large, and there're countless terrorist members who are heavily armed to defend their hideout from the intruder.(Storyline via IGDB)
