4: Warnings
This script contains massive SPOILERS for the entire story of F.E.A.R.
The game and script contains scenes of intense violence and strong language.
============================================================
5: Introduction
Although this script is mainly focused on the in-game text, I have included
checkpoints, various scene/action descriptions and as many event triggers as
possible to give the reader an idea when the dialogue/text appears throughout
the game. Hopefully, this will make this game script more informative.
This script's dialogue/text is as close to the actual game as I could manage.
It comes verbatim from the subtitles, except when the audio clearly contradicts
the subtitles -- in that case, the audio has precedence.
Some events are time-triggered, rather than proximity-triggered, so the
dialogue's location may vary slightly for different players.
Sometimes it is difficult to determine how much of Replicas' and ATC security
guards' dialogue is actually scripted or simply AI-generated chatter. I'm
using my best judgment here. An extensive listing of Replica/ATC radio chatter
can be found at the end of the script.
Because so much of the dialogue takes place as phone, radio, or video
transmissions (or recordings), it's generally safe to assume that most
conversations are being overheard by the player and take place in the speaker's
absence (e.g., over the radio, telephone, monitor, etc.), UNLESS otherwise
specifically noted in the script (e.g., special markers, character is
specifically described as being physically 'on the scene', etc.).

SENATOR: (sleepy) Yes?
ARISTIDE: Sorry to wake you Senator. It's about Origin.
SENATOR: What happened?
ARISTIDE: There was an uprising. Fettel has taken command of the prototypes.
SENATOR: My God!
ARISTIDE: We can still resolve this discreetly, but we have to move fast.
SENATOR: All right, all right. Let me... make a few calls.
<in briefing room with Betters, Jankowski, and Jin>
BETTERS*: This whacko's name is Paxton Fettel. He's the key. If we contain him,
we contain the situation.
JANKOWSKI*: Fucker's got an appetite.
JIN*: I think he has an agenda. It's not just recreational. He's getting
something out of it.
JANKOWSKI*: Essential vitamins and nutrients?
JIN*: What's his story?
BETTERS*: Property of Armacham Technology Corporation. They're working on a
military contract to develop an army of clones that respond to a psychic
commander. Top secret, of course. Fettel is one of the commanders.
JANKOWSKI*: You've gotta be freaking kidding me. This is why nobody takes us
seriously. Military clones?
BETTERS*: A full battalion of them. Highly trained and heavily armed.
JANKOWSKI*: A battalion! What are we supposed to do against a thousand super
soldiers?
BETTERS*: Like I said, we put Fettel down, and it's over. Fortunately, the
whole point of the program is to give commanders firsthand knowledge of the
battlefield without putting them in danger. That means we should be able to
corner the bastard without having to wade through all those soldiers.
JIN*: How do we find him?
BETTERS*: Armacham implanted a transmitter in his head. It should lead us right
to him.
JANKOWSKI*: That's awfully convenient.
BETTERS: Assuming it does what it's supposed to. What about you buddy? Ready to
go to work?
JANKOWSKI*: You're putting him in the field? Are you crazy? He just transferred
in a week ago!
BETTERS*: You've seen his training results. His reflexes are totally off the
charts. I think he can handle himself.
JANKOWSKI*: Whatever, man. It's your call.
BETTERS*: Damn right it is!
JIN*: Don't worry, you'll be fine.
BETTERS*: Let's roll.
<vision of bloody Fettel leaning toward PM>
FETTEL: What's the first thing you remember?
<flash to overhead hospital light>
ALMA: Nooo...!!!
ALMA: Where are you taking him!?
<flash to Harlan Wade looking down at PM>
HARLAN: You will be a god among men.
<riding in car with Betters>
BETTERS*: We've tracked Fettel to an abandoned building just up ahead. No sign
of enemy activity on the satellite, but don't take any chances.
BETTERS*: Jankowski, you in position?
JANKOWSKI: Just say the word.
BETTERS*: All right, move it out.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SITUATION:
F.E.A.R. mission coordinator, Rowdy Betters, has tracked enemy commander,
Paxton Fettel, to an abandoned building in Auburn district.
Hannibal-3 spy satellite in geosynchronous orbit shows no sight of Replica
soldiers in vicinity.
MISSION:
F.E.A.R. combat operatives will infiltrate target site from two separate entry
points and attempt to neutralize Fettel. According to Armacham technical
advisor, once Fettel is contained, Replica soldiers will become inactive and
can be rounded up without incident.

JIN: On my way.
JANKOWSKI*: Looks like we're too late, boss. Just leftovers.

<Fettel whacks PM in the head, knocking PM out>
<PM wakes up as Fettel crouches down over PM>

FETTEL*: He deserved to die. They all deserve to die.
<PM blacks out again>
<PM wakes up again>

to engage until you guys reconnoiter.
BETTERS: Understood.
DM: I've got two birds en route to your position. You should have a visual
shortly.
BETTERS: We'll be ready.
<if PM stops and eavesdrops at top of stairs>
JANKOWSKI: What do you think of the new point man?
JIN: Well, he's pretty cute.
JANKOWSKI: That's not what I meant.
JIN: Just say what's on your mind, Jankowski.
JANKOWSKI: I don't know, something about him just feels... off.
JIN: The day I look to you as a judge of character will be a sad day indeed.
JANKOWSKI: I'm serious. It's something about his eyes. Like he's looking
right through you.
JIN: Maybe it's because you're one dimensional.
<stepping into Jin and Jankowski's view at bottom of stairs>
JANKOWSKI*: Hey, back already? See anything?
BETTERS: You guys about done up there? Our day's just getting started.
JIN*: You boys run along. I'll be busy here for a while.

<vision of labcoated man slowly turning around>
<in helicopter, waiting>
HOLIDAY*: These men are from F.E.A.R. They're special attachments to our unit
for the duration of this op. They will be on point.
HOLIDAY*: Their mission is to assess the nature of the threat. Our job is to
keep them alive. Do not engage the enemy. Remember that we are not dealing with
ordinary bad guys.
HOLIDAY*: Team One will move in from the southwest. Team Two will approach from
the north. Once our recon is complete, we will rendezvous and wait for further
orders.

BETTERS: He can take care of himself. Now move!
SFOD-D Op*: Be careful in there.
<PM loiters around area>
JIN*: You better get going.
JIN*: Don't you have work to do?

<vision of Alma at top of ladder>
<vision of Fettel at bottom of ladder>
FETTEL: He deserved to die.
FETTEL: They all deserve to die.
RADIO: A devastating explosion in the harbor this evening may not have been an
accident. KZZA News has learned that evidence of a fierce gun battle has been
found by police investigators. Several bodies have been recovered from the
scene with bullet and shrapnel wounds. So far, no one is commenting on exactly
what happened here or why.
<in upstairs office>
VM: You have one new message. First message from:
HIVES: Iain Hives
HIVES: Hi Bill, it's Iain Hives. Just got your email. I wish I could give you
some more background on this, but it's strictly need to know. Hell, I don't
even know what all this is for. For now, just focus on the specific
contaminants in the task summary. Maybe I can fill you in a little more once
we've completed the survey.
VM: End of message.
<apparition of Bill Moody walking behind equipment>
<apparition of Bill Moody crossing in front of PM>
MOODY: There's something in the water.

<vision of Fettel>
FETTEL: Where is she?
<vision of mutilated face of Bill Moody>
MOODY*: Alma.
MOODY*: If Fettel finds her...
MOODY*: Origin.
<Moody dies>
BETTERS: What the hell is he talking about? What's Alma and what's Origin?
BETTERS: All right buddy, get moving. Fettel's gotta be close.

============================================================
Interval 03 - Escalation - Exeunt Omnes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SITUATION:
Paxton Fettel and Replica forces are continuing organized withdrawal from South
River Wastewater Treatment Plant.
After locating another of Fettel's victims, F.E.A.R. operative neutralized
Replica rear guard units and is continuing to pursue retreating enemy forces.
MISSION:
Top priority is to eliminate Paxton Fettel.
- Weapons are distinguished by characteristics such as rate of fire, damage,
effective range, accuracy, armor penetration, stability, magazine size, and
movement penalties.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Find and neutralize Paxton Fettel
DM: Tomcat, this is Den Mother. I know you guys are hurting, but we could
really use your help with this Armacham situation.
DM: I just lost contact with my recon team and the brass wants me to send in
more men, which I'm reluctant to do until I know what we're dealing with in
there.
BETTERS: My order are to secure this guy Fettel. Getting rid of him will break
his telepathic link to the soldiers. Once they no longer have an objective,
they should shut down.
DM: That sure would be nice.
BETTERS: Tell you what. Can you spare a chopper? We're seeing what looks like
a full-scale withdrawal. My gut tells me Fettel's on his way to Armacham, so
maybe we can help each other out.
DM: Can do.
=CP=
<breaking through grating in front of enemy proximity mines>
BETTERS: Shit, I just lost Jankowski's signal.
JIN: Maybe his gear got damaged.
BETTERS: Maybe.
JIN: The fire and rescue guys are here. Once they've got the fire under
control, we can check the rubble.
BETTERS: Let them handle it. I need you on standby to head inside Armacham as

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SITUATION:
F.E.A.R. combat operative is en route to Armacham headquarters with SFOD-D
escort. F.E.A.R. technical officer is on standby.
No further information from inside Armacham.
MISSION:
The assault team will approach Armacham headquarters by helicopter and attempt
to make a rooftop entry.
Securing Fettel remains top priority.
- Your health will regenerate when you are below a certain threshold, which
differs by difficulty level. It regenerates more quickly when you stand still.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- F.E.A.R. point man will attempt to determine the status of the missing SFOD-D
team and ascertain the nature of the threat in order to recommend military
response.
<en route via helicopter>
BETTERS: Den Mother, what can you tell us about your recon team?
DM: We were monitoring them on the security network when we lost contact. Now
the entire system is offline.
BETTERS: Any news on the bad guys?
DM: We know they hit the main building shortly before 5pm. No estimate on
enemy strength, but we should assume it's a sizable force.
BETTERS: Hostages?
DM: Undetermined.
BETTERS: But no demands.
DM: Not as far as I know.
SFOD-D PILOT (E. Cotton): Dust Seven, on final.
DM: Copy, Dust Seven. Do you have a visual?
Pilot: Roger that.
SFOD-D PILOT (E. Cotton): Going dark.

SITUATION:
F.E.A.R. operative has successfully infiltrated Armacham headquarters building.
SFOD-D escort neutralized in ambush. Additional U.S. Special Forces assets
have been scrambled.
Efforts to establish negotiations with hostile forces have been unsuccessful.
MISSION:
Initial objective will be to get the company network online so that F.E.A.R.
coordinator can access the system. F.E.A.R. operative will then proceed to last
known location of SFOD-D reconnaissance team.
- Be sure to search for laptops and voicemail messages for deeper insights into
the nature of the present crisis.

VM: First message from:
HABEGGER: Chuck Habegger.
HABEGGER: It's Chuck Habegger. I've analyzed the readings and I'm recommending
we suspend Perseus until we can figure out what's causing the synchronization.
The patterns are identical to what we saw last time, but obviously the
consequences would be a hell of a lot worse.
VM: Next message from:
HABEGGER: Chuck Habegger.
HABEGGER: I got your message. Maybe you've forgotten that when this happened
before, Fettel was only a child. And the fallout of that fuckup was that
Origin had to be permanently shut down. This time we're talking about a highly
trained military commander with a telepathic link to hundreds of soldiers that
don't think for themselves. If you worried about being behind schedule now,
imagine what'll happen if we end up with a full-scale revolt.
VM: Next message from:
DISLER: Marshall Disler.
DISLER: Hi, it's Marshall. I just got off the phone with Chuck Habegger. I'm
really worried about his findings. He said he talked to you about suspending
the program temporarily and I've got to agree. If there's even the slightest
chance of a synchronicity event, we've got to take it seriously. I'm going to
head over to the Perseus Compound and check things out myself. Why don't you
give me a call on my cell and let's discuss this.
VM: End of messages.
<in canteen area>
RADIO: Police have set up roadblocks all over downtown in response to the
incident. No one is being allowed into the area except for emergency
personnel. We've been unable to confirm the precise nature of the crisis,
although at least one official has suggested that it may involve terrorism.
Let's go to Diego Rodriguez live on the scene.
REPORTER (Diego Rodriguez): Thanks, Phil. We're being told that just before
5:00pm today, gunfire was reported at the downtown headquarters of Armacham
Technology Corporation, a major defense contractor. What followed is unclear
at this point. U.S. Army helicopters were seen approaching the building, but
we've heard nothing since. Police are urging citizens to remain at home and
say there is very little danger of the situation spreading outside of the
cordoned area. Phil, back to you.
RADIO: That was Diego Rodriguez coming to us live from the police blockade
downtown. Today's crisis at Armacham comes on the heels of a report that one
if its vice presidents was kidnapped at gunpoint this morning on his way to
work. Police are refusing to speculate as to whether the events are connected.
<fight assassins>
<activate laptop>
BETTERS: All right, it's uploading.
BETTERS: Looks like the Icarus program got shut down in favor of something
called Perseus, which from what I can tell is funded by DOD. I'm guessing
that's where Fettel and his soldiers came from.
<Mapes falls from ceiling>
MAPES*: Don't shoot! My name is Norton Mapes. I'm an engineer!

MAPES*: What am I? An I.S. lackey? Tell you what, you disable the local
security system and I'll see what I can do about the server.
BETTERS: I can disable it remotely once I'm logged in.
MAPES*: No, you can't. It's on a separate network.
<Mapes opens door>
MAPES*: It's back thataway.

tone down the innuendo around her. It's not that I personally give a rat's

It's a bunch of news articles I dug up about Auburn from the last 25 years.
There's a surprising amount of corroboration of the physical symptoms that old
woman told us about. Seems a lot of people over the years reported feeling
uncomfortable or nauseated after spending any amount of time there. But if it
was some kind of chemical or radiological contamination, why didn't the city
find anything in the soil or the groundwater? It doesn't make a lot of sense.

SITUATION:
F.E.A.R. operative liberated a hostage, Aldus Bishop, who claimed he was
interrogated about Harlan Wade, a senior Armacham researcher. Wade's
whereabouts are unknown. Bishop also reported that he's a colleague of Wade's
daughter, Alice. IT is assumed she will have been targeted by Replica forces
and may already be a prisoner.
SFOD-D operative Douglas Holiday is escorting Bishop to the roof for immediate
evac.
F.E.A.R. technical officer is continuing forensic breakdown of SFOD-D massacre
site.
There are indications that many Armacham employees were executed.
MISSION:
F.E.A.R. combat operative will rendezvous with Holiday at the helicopter
landing zone (HLZ).

originating in Auburn, which might actually explain a lot. I'm gonna send you

VM: Next message from:
HIVES: Iain Hives.
HIVES: Janice, it's Iain. Wanted to give you a heads up that you might be
getting a call from Bill Moody. I think the best course of action would be for
you to act like you give a shit about his concerns. I think all he really
wants is to believe that someone in authority is taking the ball and running
with it. I think I fucked up by blowing him off, so I'm guessing he'll run to
you. Anyway, let me know how it works out.

BETTERS: This is interesting. When they pulled the plug on Origin, apparently
they just locked the doors and threw away the key. They didn't go into a lot

SITUATION:
Paxton Fettel's signal has vanished again. Armacham technical advisor suggests
the problem may be the result of damage the transmitter sustained during
combat.
It is now believed that Armacham engineer Norton Mapes is actively sabotaging
the F.E.A.R. mission.
MISSION:
Primary mission is to locate Fettel.
Secondary objective is to take Norton Mapes into custody for questioning.

together on the Origin anomalies? Harlan is supposed to be updating me daily,
but apparently he's got his hands full with the grudge he insists on carrying.
I hope he's not dribbling too much poison in people's ears. I take fully
responsibility for what happened to the team, but wishing won't bring them
back. In any case, now's not the time for assigning blame. We have to work

happened to Auburn wasn't because of the usual socioeconomic factors. The
downturn was actually a symptom of people avoiding or leaving the area for
other reasons, which we'll summarize in our presentation. One more thing: from
what we can tell, it all started about 20 years ago. I'll let you know when
we've got a clearer picture. Thanks!

pretty drastic measures to cover her bony ass. I'll tell you straight up that
I'll be fucked if her or any of her little toadies is going anywhere near the
vault. She already caused enough damage thinking she could just march in there
and start over from scratch. If she comes to you for backup, remind her that
we locked that place up for a reason.
VM: Next message from:
ARISTIDE: Genevieve Aristide.
ARISTIDE: Phil, how are you? It's Genevieve. I haven't seen you at Maurice's
lately. We should get together for happy hour once this mess blows over.
Speaking of which, I have a favor to ask. I know you and Harlan go back a
ways, so I was hoping you could try to reason with him. He refuses to forgive
me for sending those poor people into the vault, as though I'm happy about what
happened. I made a mistake. But I don't see why everyone else should have to
pay for that. Anything you can say to get him to see reason would be
appreciated.
VM: Next message from:
ARISTIDE: Genevieve Aristide.
ARISTIDE: Hi, it's Genevieve. I just wanted to remind you that the Origin
facility was a liability long before this situation erupted. I was simply
trying to clean up an old mess. I was hoping we could renovate or even
repurpose the site, but clearly the risks are unacceptable. I see no
alternative but to destroy it completely. If you have a better suggestion, I'd
love to hear it. In the meantime, I have a company to save.

the hole deeper. Sooner or later you're gonna dig right down to hell.
VM: Next message from:
VECCHIO: Phil Vecchio.
VECCHIO: I got your message, Genevieve. I think what Harlan is trying to say
is that we should be leery of kneejerk impulses. I understand that there are
some time pressures to consider, but we really need to be thinking
strategically. Reopening the vault at this point strikes me as a dubious
proposition considering all that's happened. It's probably that we'd just be

BETTERS: Well, I did a little digging. Turns out Armacham bought the site from
the government back in the '50s. Get this. There used to be some kind of
underground military complex in that area. I don't think Armacham was
interested in what was on the property. They wanted what was under it. And I'm
guessing it has something to do with Origin.

was apparently a powerful psychic. Makes sense. If you want a telepathic
commander, you need a telepath. And it was a woman. Says here she gave live
birth to the prototypes. Seems Wade wasn't convinced the psychic
characteristics were genetic. He figured there was a better chance they'd be
passed along if the fetus gestated inside the subject. So they put her into a
coma, made her carry a genetically engineered baby to term, then induced labor.
That's pretty fucking sick.

between Fettel and Alma even though she was in a coma. They concluded that she

motorcycle entered traffic, apparently blinding several motorists. This is
Radio Free Kronus, broadcasting everywhere, all the time, and to everyone. Be
good, be safe, be happy. This is Radio Free Kronus.

============================================================
Interval 09 - Incursion - Bypass
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SITUATION:
F.E.A.R. point man has reached vicinity of Vault entrance.
ATC security forces are offering resistance. Norton Mapes is destroying
evidence of Armacham's activities in the facility.
Harlan Wade is inside the facility, but his current whereabouts are unknown.
Alice Wade has not been located.
MISSION:
Primary goal is still to secure Harlan and Alice Wade and to eliminate Paxton
Fettel. Effort should also be made to recover incriminating evidence of ATC
wrongdoing.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
<dropping through vent, looking through window, PM sees Mapes and Harlan Wade
standing in front of the Vault>
MAPES: Look, I'm just doing my job!
HARLAN: And I'm doing what has to be done.
<Harlan shoots Mapes and enters the Vault>
<approach wounded Mapes>
MAPES*: That fuckhead.
MAPES*: He locked you out. The only way in is to divert power to the door.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SITUATION: Harlan Wade has entered the Vault and sealed it by diverting power
away from the doors.
Norton Mapes is seriously wounded after being shot by Wade.
MISSION:
F.E.A.R. operative must redirect power to the Vault doors in order to pursue
Wade.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Divert power to Vault door
=CP= <going through open access doors after yellow power couplings 1-2
activated>
<on way to 3rd power coupling, in pipe room, activate laptop>
BETTERS: Things are starting to make sense. The name of the woman they used
for Origin is Alma. That's who Fettel is looking for.
BETTERS: He's going home.
<on way to controls to crane blocking blue power coupling 4>
BETTERS: Oh Jesus. She's was just a kid. Says here Alma was 8 years old when
Origin started up. They used a little girl. No wonder they're so fucking
anxious to keep the lid on this mess. Somebody's going to burn for this.
BETTERS: No wonder Aristide hasn't returned my calls. She's probably on a
plane to Jamaica.
=CP= <going through open access doors after blue power couplings 3-4 activated>
VM: You've got two new messages. First message from:
ARISTIDE: Genevieve Aristide.
ARISTIDE: Harlan, it's Genevieve. Listen, I understand your feelings. I really
do. But this is no time for sentimentality. If Origin is uncovered, every
single one of us will burn for it. It's time we buried the dead, don't you
think?
VM: Next message from:
ARISTIDE: Genevieve Aristide.
ARISTIDE: Harlan, it's me again. If you want an apology, then I apologize. I
was wrong. You were right. In any case, I want to be sympathetic, but the
situation IS urgent. I'm sending Mapes to take care of things since you seem
reluctant to do what needs to be done. I hope you can find it in yourself to
assist him.
VM: End of messages.
<complete switching red power couplings 5-6>
- Enter the Vault
=CP= <going through open access doors after red power couplings 5-6 activated>
<approaching lift>
BETTERS: Alma's still in there. She has to be.
BETTERS: You've got to find her before ATC decides to get rid of the evidence.
<after riding lift down, go down stairs, door opens> <PM shows apparitions of
Fettel stalking behind a staggering zombie-like Alice Wade>
<after destroying 3 flying remotes in front of Vault, approach Mapes>
MAPES*: You have to destroy this facility. Before he lets her out.
MAPES*: There are four pylons. Damage the reactor cells and you'll trigger a
chain reaction. Blow the whole place to hell. Where it belongs.
MAPES*: If he lets Alma out...
MAPES*: You have to stop him.
- Locate Harlan Wade
<descending on elevator platform>
BETTERS: I'm losing your signal. We may be out of contact from this point on.
BETTERS: Be careful of this Wade guy. God only knows what he's capable of.
============================================================
Interval 10 - Revelation - The Vault
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SITUATION:
F.E.A.R. operative has entered the Vault.
Norton Mapes is urging the destruction of the facility due to an unspecified
hazard. His motives are presumed to be selfish, but caution is recommended.
MISSION:
Objective remains to secure Harlan and Alice Wade and eliminate Paxton Fettel.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
<PM finds Fettel feeding off dead Alice Wade and Alma emerging from wall>
ALMA: Kill them all.
<flash to mindscape of flames, Fettel repeatedly appearing and disappearing,
followed by attacks of nightmares>
FETTEL: You still don't know, do you? What you are. Why you're here.
FETTEL: What's the first thing you remember? What's your given name? Where were
you born? You have no history.
FETTEL: You and I were born from the same mother.
FETTEL: You must have sensed it. She cannot see in your mind, but perhaps you
can see into hers. A life of waking from one nightmare, only to find herself
deep in another.
<flash to mindscape of Fettel's cell, with Fettel kneeing before PM>
FETTEL: I will set her free.
<shoot Fettel> <world reverts to normal>
<after encountering 3 dormant Replicas, walk around corner and activate laptop>
HARLAN: She was a very disturbed child. Terrible, debilitating nightmares.
Hallucinations. Hysteria. She never had a chance at a normal life.
HARLAN: It was Disler who realized that she was telepathic. He speculated that
she was extremely sensitive to the negative emotions of people around her.
HARLAN: We removed her from that chamber only twice. She was fifteen when the
first prototype was born. She was supposed to be comatose. But she started
screaming when we induced labor and didn't stop until the liquid filled her
lungs.
HARLAN: There are plausible scientific explanations for everything that
followed, but I think was really just a question of hatred.
HARLAN: It is the way of men to make monsters. And it is the nature of
monsters to destroy their makers.
<as PM steps on lift to control room, an mechanical arm moves to the suspended
sphere of liquid>
COMPUTER: System analysis commencing
<mechanical arm retrieves a container from liquid and conveys it to the control
room>
HARLAN: They want to destroy her. But I think she's suffered enough.
HARLAN: We put her in there two days before her eighth birthday.
COMPUTER: Error. No life signs detected.
HARLAN: She died six days after we pulled the plug.
COMPUTER: Release sequence complete.
HARLAN: This is how it ends.
<container opens>
<Harlan backs away as a black cloud swirls around him>
HARLAN: Alma....
<Harlan screams as he's reduced to a skeleton and naked Alma steps out of the
container>
<blood splatter obscures window>
<vision of naked Alma alternating with little Alma, stalking toward PM>
ALMA: Kill them all.
<world reverts to normal>
<door to control room opens>
=CP= (after exiting room where Harlan Wade dies)
<entering reactor area>
- Expose and destroy reactor cells to sabotage energy pylons
=CP= (exiting lift to reactor cell controls)
============================================================
Interval 11 - Retaliation - Ground Zero
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SITUATION:
The facility's main reactor has gone critical. A chain reaction is imminent.
MISSION:
F.E.A.R. operative should attempt to get as far from the facility as possible.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BETTERS: He's alive! I just picked up his signal.
BETTERS: If you can hear me, get to high ground. A chopper is standing by.
=CP= (before entering generator room)
<flash to mindscape of flaming room>
FETTEL: I've tried to forget.
FETTEL: I've tried so hard to forget.
<naked Alma appears in room to PM's left>
<climbing stairs, naked Alma appears when doors are opened>
<PM moves down hospital corridor, approaches double doors>
<baby crying>
FETTEL: You were born here. In this place.
FETTEL: I was there.
<on other side of doors, naked Alma kills doctor in a welter of blood>
<after naked Alma is shot and disappears>
ALMA: My baby....
ALMA: Give him back to me.
<vision of Harlan Wade looming over PM>
ALMA: Give me back my baby!!!
<baby cries>
HARLAN: You will be a god among men.
<Harlan Wade looks up>
HARLAN: Take her back to the vault.
ALMA: "Nooooo!!!
<teenage Alma in hospital robe sits up, reaching to PM>
<pan to folder>
Top Secret
Origin
Subject:
Alma Wade
ALMA: (whisper) My baby...
<world reverts to normal>
<heading down corridor>
ALMA: I know who you are.
============================================================
Interval 12 - Epilogue - Aftermath
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SITUATION:
Massive explosion detected by Hannibal-3 spy satellite in the vicinity of
classified Armacham facility moments before signal was lost. Efforts to
reestablish link unsuccessful.
Status of F.E.A.R. operative unknown.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
<post explosion, blurry sight of helicopter descending>
JIN: There he is!
<PM blacks out>
<PM wakes up in helicopter>
HOLIDAY*: I don't know how you lived through that.
HOLIDAY*: We still don't know the extent of the damage.
JIN*: We haven't been able to get through to anyone since the explosion.
JIN*: What about Alma? What happened to her?
<loud bang, then helicopter rocks and interior lights go out>
JIN*: What was that sound?
<naked Alma climbs into helicopter>

NO ACTUAL DELTA FORCE OPERATIVES WERE HARMED IN THIS PRODUCTION
<phone rings>
ARISTIDE: Senator, it's Genevieve Aristide. I just wanted to assure you that
the Origin situation has been resolved.
SENATOR: But so much for discretion.
ARISTIDE: It was unavoidable. There is some good news, however. The first
prototype was a complete success.

9: Replica / ATC radio chatter
Many radio chatter phrases can be prefixed with different pronouns, depending
on the exact phrase and/or situation -- ("I" or "We"), ("I'll" or "We'll"),
("I'm" or "We're"), ("I've" or "We've").
For example: "Got a man down!" can also be "I've got a man down!" or "We've got
a man down!"
For example: "Moving in!" can also be "I'm moving in!" or "We're moving in!"
Many command chatter phrases can be prefixed by ("Team" or "Squad").
For example: "Check it out!" can also be "Team, check it out!" or "Squad, check
it out!"
ATC security forces use many of the same radio chatter phrases as the Replica
forces, but there appears to be a few specific ATC-specific phrases.
