June 26, 1953, Chimeran Fleet above the Gulf of Mexico
Lt. Nathan Hale, leader of Echo Team and Humanity's best weapon against the Chimera, sprinted as fast as he could to the shuttle that his comrade, Corporal Joseph Capelli had hijacked. Hale had just killed the Chimeran leader, Daedelus, and activated the new fission bomb that would destroy the Chimeran ship they were on and all of the large Chimeran fleet. Hale sprinted at superhuman speeds from the combination of adrenaline and the Sentinal's super speed. The Sentinals had been created to retaliate against the Chimera who proved to be physically and technologically superior to the human race. The project, known as 'Project Abraham' consisted of injecting the Chimeran virus into human subjects in order to create a super soldier that had the abilities of a chimera but remained human. Many candidates died from the procedure and those who survived were at heavy risk of conversion into a chimera due to the presence of the virus within them. Viral inhibitors were the only things keeping Hale and Capelli from turning into the enemy the so vastly despised.
"Capelli, Daedalus is down and the bomb is armed." Hale said to Capelli over radio as he ran.
"Copy that. Command, how much time do we have?" Capelli asked SRPA command.
"Four minutes." Command replied.
"Understood. Hale get to the hangar, ill prep the shuttle for launch. This is gonna be a close one!" Capelli said. Hale ran through the imploding ship. He used the new powers he inherited from Daedalus to fire mental blasts to kill any chimera who got in his way. After fighting his way through the ship, he felt his mind starting to fade. Ever since he refused to get inhibitor treatment so he could save Dr. Malikov at Bryce Canyon, Hale had slowly but surely begun to convert into a Chimera. Hale felt an auger round fire past him. He turned to see three chimeran Steelheads firing their notorious Auger Rifles at him. Augers could fire through solid wall making cover useless. Hale turned his hands towards the enemy and sent a wave of mental energy at the chimera blowing them to pieces. He continued running till he ran into a group of advanced hybrids with a Ravager primarch. Hale dodged as the fire of bullseye rounds tore through the air. He pulled out his hands again and fired another wave of mental energy and exploded the chimera into bloody chunksHale found his way outside as he began dodging debris. He saw Capelli on a platfrom with the shuttle firing on incoming chimera with his HVAP Wraith.
"HALE WE GOTTA GO!" Capelli screamed as Hale made his way up the ramp. The two quickly entered the shuttle and took off. Hale piloted the shuttle away as the fission bomb began to detonate. The chimeran flagship began to turn into a ball of light as they flew away. The detonation sent out a shockwave the obliterated the entire chimeran fleet.
"HALE PULL UP!" Capelli yelled to Hale as the force from the explosion sent their craft awry. Chunks of debris slamming into their craft threatening to destroy it.
"It's not responding!" Hale cried as he struggled with the controls. They screamed as the explosion engulfed them and all went dark.

Capelli awoke to find his face planted on the control pad. His whole body ached, he felt like a Titan had just taken a swing at him. He had a busted nose and numerous scars that were now bleeding. He had a burn on his arm from where a bullseye round roasted his flesh. He set aside the pain as chimeran cells in him began healing the wounds. Chimera had metabolisms nearly ten times greater than that of a human meaning they could regenerate wounds in seconds. The cost of which requiring a cooling pack in order to avoid overheating. Thus, chimera generally thrived better in colder conditions. One of the perks to being a Sentinal was acquiring the chimera's rapid healing abilities.
" Fuck.......Just once...... I'd wish you'd try landing one of these things." Capelli said as he looked up to find Hale wasn't there. Capelli was nervous, did Hale die in the impact.
Is he dead? No, there is no body, he must have gone outside. Capelli thought as he left the shuttle. Hale had survived Project Abraham, survived London, survived Holar Tower, and had just survived Daedalus. For Hale to have died in a crash would have just been insulting. Capelli stepped outside expecting to see smoldering ruin and a red sky but instead found himself in a bright sunny forest. There was no mushroom cloud from the detonation, no ruins or wreckage of any ship, not even smoke or fire. The only smoke coming from his crashed shuttle.
"What the fuck?" Capelli thought as he saw Hale standing no more than fifteen feet away from him. Right away Capelli could sense something was wrong.
"Hale what happened?" Capelli asked his CO as he examined his surroundings very confused. "Where the hell are we?"
"Can you hear them? They are calling to us, It is beautiful!" Hale said in Daedalus's voice as he turned around. His eyes a complete gold color. His skin now so pale you could see the purple and blue veins running throughout his body. All of his hair was now gone aswell

"SHIT!" Capelli thought as he pulled out his M1911 sidearm and aimed it straight at Hale. Hale had finally converted, he was now one of them!.
"Stay back!" Capelli warned as Hale walked towards him.
"This is just the beginning." The Chimera-Hale said. Capelli hesitated with the trigger. He remembered at Bryce Canyon when Hale refused the inhibitor treatment how Capelli had called him out.
Bryce Canyon, Several Weeks ago.
You look like hell Lieutenant! Was he worth it? Capelli screamed as the VTOL carrying him and the rest of Echo Team landed on the pad. "Cause there ain't no inhibitor stations where we're going! You just made yourself a walking timebomb!"
"Drop it Corporal!" Benjamin Warner, a fellow Sentinal said as he helped Dr. Malikov onto the VTOL. Capelli went up to Hale and pushed him.
"When you do turn, and it won't be long now. I'LL be the one who pulls the trigger! Do you hear me? I won't hesitate! Not even for a sec-"
"Offer accepted!" Hale said as he grabbed Capelli by the throat. "Now until that time comes. Lets consider this case closed!" Hale growled as he threw Capelli to the ground.

For once in his entire life, Capelli felt something he had never felt before, guilt.
"Forgive me sir." Capelli said as he cocked the gun. "It was an honor." With a pull of trigger and a bloody explosion. Nathan Hale, the hero of the Chimeran war.... was dead. Capelli looked down at his dead officer. He had come to greatly respect Hale, even considered him a friend. One of the only friends Capelli ever had after the deceased Aaron Hawthorne and Ben Warner.
"FUUUCK!" Capelli screamed as he threw the pistol and banged on the ground with his fists. "GODDAMN FUCKIN CHIMERA!!!!"
"EEP!" A high voice cried. Capelli turned to see bushes moving. He assumed it was a small animal that had not yet been killed by the Chimera. Capelli decided to cremate Hale, the chimeran virus was still in Hale's corpse and Capelli wanted every last Chimera, from the Leviathan down to last cell of the virus, to burn. Capelli got some wood and gunpowder from rounds from his gun and lit the fire. He watched as Hale's body turned to ash. Capelli took an empty ammo box and put Hale's ashes into it so if he got out of this and back to SRPA, Hale could be properly honored. Night was falling as Capelli went to see what he could salvage from the shuttle. The shuttle was loaded with chimeran weaponry as he took inventory. As much as he hated using chimeran weapons for personal reasons, he could not help but admit the superiority of chimeran weapons to human weapons. He pulled out a notebook where he drew sketches of the chimera he had encountered and took inventory of what he had. He included his own weapons, the chimeran weapons aboard the shuttle, and the Hale's weapons.
Bullseye- 750 rounds, 50 tags
HVAP Wraith- 900 rounds
M1911- 48 rounds
Magnum- 11 rounds
Auger= 150 rounds, plus eight auger shields
LAARK Rocket Launcher- 6 rockets. Capelli made a mental note to preserve the LAARK ammo.
Fareye Sniper Rifle- 80 rounds
Rossmore Shotgun- 36 shells.
7 frag grenades
20 hedgehog grenades
3 air fuel grenandes
Nine inch combat knife
Content with what he had. Capelli loaded up and was deciding if he should head out. He did not want to stay in what was presumed to be 'grey territory' especially at night. He was in the shuttle when he heard a howling in the distance. It sounded all too familiar to Capelli
"Fuck! Howlers!" Capelli cried as he grabbed a rossmore shotgun and prepared himself for the chimeran attack.
