On his way to the Well Lit Room with Cynthia Weaver; Barry and Breaker's plane crashes. In a desperate attempt to rescue them, Alan leaves Weaver to travel to the room on her own, while he goes out in search for his friends. After reuniting with them, they are quickly separated as the Dark Presence blocks Alan's path. In order to reach them again, Alan has to trek across the Dam to enter the Well Lit Room.
While crossing the Dam, he is ambushed by a large group of Taken, but thankfully, is aided by a large torch which can burn the Taken away. After the ambush, the Darkness forms a tornado and attempts to kill Alan by throwing debris at him. He eventually reaches another elevator where he meets Breaker, Weaver and Barry.
