Once the final beacon is set up, Brand orders that the HAARP be activated, despite not giving the team enough time to establish a safe perimeter from the volcano. The team set up 8 beacons to activate the array, but Jones is killed during the mission after being eaten by a Khnum.

And I don't even mean us, the writers, although we worked our asses off too, but the programming, the art, all of that, oh God.
