Once outside the city, he reveals to the others that while many of Russia's cities were bombed, the war did not end and NATO proceeded to occupy what was left of the nation. Knowing that Hansa will have all of them put to death for knowing the truth, Miller concludes that the Spartans' best chance of survival is to flee Moscow. They escape by stealing one of Hansa's locomotives, the 'Aurora', with the aid of a defected Hansa train engineer called Yermak.ДЄs the train leaves, the Spartan Order moves in to retake it and are shocked and confused at Artyom and Anna's presence. Radio transmissions from all over the world begin to be picked up, and Artyom and Anna realise humanity has not gone extinct. Surviving the gunshot, Artyom follows the soldiers to rescue Anna, and in the process inadvertently destroys a signal jammer that was blocking all communications going in and out of Moscow. The Hansa soldiers execute the other prisoners, and Artyom is shot and left for dead, taking Anna to their base. Before they can follow it, they are captured by Hansa soldiers, along with a group of people who claim to be from outside of Moscow. However, on one such expedition with Anna, they witness a working train running on the surface. He soon becomes obsessed with proving that other human survivors exist outside of Moscow and makes numerous dangerous expeditions to the surface, much to Anna's concern and Miller's frustration.
