Booker DeWitt and Elizabeth arrive at the entrance plaza outside Jeremiah Fink's manufacturing plant alongside allied Vox Populi fighters. When an enemy zeppelin appears and bombards the main entrance gates, Booker must ride an overhead Sky-Line to board the airship, eliminate the defenders, and sever its engine wiring before returning to the ground to enter the plant.
