Back on the surface, New York is now controlled by the Soviets. Regular newscasters and other citizens are sent to Alaska for re-training and are replaced by Tatiana Kempinsky, a Soviet-friendly Propaganda reporter. Areas in New York are made into make-shift bases for the Soviet forces (police station, harbor, theater, etc.). Civilians go into hiding. The US military has been routed, and the federal government, including the President, is arrested and tried on trumped-up charges of "crimes against humanity". They are promptly replaced by a pro-Soviet government, led from New York's Governors Island by General Tatarin of the Red Army and Colonel Bulba of the KGB. Christopher Stone is enlisted into Isabella's rag-tag resistance movement, which he aides in rescuing his brother Troy as well as Isabella herself. Chris' actions cause him to be dubbed "the Freedom Phantom" by the Soviet-controlled press.
