Psycho wasn't dead, but he was in a serious amount of pain.
When his eyes focused he found himself reacquainted with Colonel Lee of the Korean People's Army (KPA). A few armed KPA troops remained near-by. Psycho's guns were nowhere to be found.
Colonel Lee knew about the Delta Force. He knew of them very well. When Psycho looked closer, he realized Lee was wearing a Nanosuit of his own. How did he get his hands on this technology?
Lee was upset because the latest count showed Psycho himself had personally destroyed well over 250 KPA troops since their paths crossed not too long ago. For those dead comrades, Lee figured it was time to even the score.
He used a small device to "calibrate" the Nanosuit. This calibration process caused the suit to get tighter, only to lead to severe pain while the Nanosuit tried to compensate - to the point where it could tear the skin from one's flesh.
Psycho cried out that he was a Prisoner of War (PoW) at this point. Lee stopped and pointed out that the Nanosuit is not a recognized uniform by the Geneva Convention and that it invalidated his rights. So, he was fair game without the fear of recourse from a mediator down the road.
Lee walked away and a KPA soldier approached Psycho to place his pistol directly against his head. Was this the end for Psycho? I am certain that crossed his mind a few times during those seconds where the cold steel rested against his forehead.
Just before the trigger was released sending the lead bullet into Psycho's skull, the entire area was hit with a glacier-like breeze. This was the same level of temperature I (Nomad) experienced when I finally escaped from that huge rock containing our visitors.
The Nanosuit provided adequate protection for Psycho, but the KPA troops were frozen to death instantly. For now, Psycho's life would be spared. However, he had to get up and start moving to avoid the Nanosuit freezing up and shutting down. He had to find a way out of that cargo sub.
After looking inside the sub, the only way out was through the top of the sub. So, he moved some boxes into position and climbed to the top of Project 914. From the higher vantage point, Psycho realized he was not alone.
Psycho noticed that Colonel Lee had unloaded the cargo unit that contained the unknown contents he had been instructed by JSOC to investigate. Now, Lee was about to drive off with the cargo with the assistance of a hovercraft and his Nanosuit.
Psycho had to stop them any way that he could.
