Synopsis for the 1st Story
Following after killing the Grim that attacked Dr. Oppenheimer, the panic doctor tells the Sentinels to barricade the door but they refuse, explaining that it may hold them off but not for long and there is nowhere to go and decided that they were better off making a run for it. They then dash into the hallway running and shooting at the same time, but there are too many and a Grim leaps into the air and bites the doctor and they quickly kill the Grim. Since the doctor is wounded and they are not far from an exit and they grab him and run. They soon make it outside and lock the door. Later the group found their way into the cafeteria and barricaded it. It was then used as a command center and had a break each hour while recovering, Oppenheimer talks to Capelli and asks him why does he fight at first. Capelli replies is to protect Earth from these "monsters" and he asks again why: "there are men who afraid and full of pain you are full pain and hate". Capelli then explains how he was in Project Abraham and remembers two men, one named Hale (Nathan Hale) and the other Shepherd (Jordan Shepherd). When he tried to sleep he had visions (from sleeping near Shepherd, who is slowly developing his Chimeran powers and predating transformation into Daedalus) and saw the Chimera killing everyone and simply does not wish it to come true. The Sentinels come up with a plan of running into the hangers, which was crazy at first, and planned on used the gas veins which made them all run out where Capelli armed with a minigun, taken from a VTOL, started killing all who ran out.
