JanuaryEdit

  • January 1st: SRPA intelligence notes that there hasn't been any major Chimeran assault on the United States since July 23, 1952. It is believed that the completion of the Liberty Defense Perimeter has drastically altered the Chimeran strategy. SRPA analysts strongly hypothesize that Daedalus is building a vast fleet of battleships that would be capable of overrunning the country in one large scale sweep. President McCullen is continuing to evacuate civilians to within the defense perimeter in anticipation of such an attack.[1]
  • January 2nd: In Hawaii, multiple eyewitnesses saw a strange, astronomical phenomenon in the sky. In which they claimed to see a glowing fissure appearing in the sky, under which there appeared to be a "second sky".[2]
  • January 4th: A recent British field report documents a reconnaissance team in Warsaw, Poland in which they witness a strange Cloven-like creature, which the locals referred to it as the "Leben Geist", single-handily destroying a Goliath.[3]
  • January 4th: In SRPA 7, an experimental accident with the gray tech components results in the deaths of five research members.[4]
  • January 5th: Due to safety concerns, all gray tech research is relocated to SRPA 11 in Nevada's Black Rock Desert.[4]
  • January 7th: British reconnaissance units in Czechoslovakia have discovered the remains of eleven recently destroyed Chimeran drone construction facilities. The bodies of hundreds of Chimera were found inside each facility. Most of the bodies appeared to have been killed with knives or bare hands. The Chimeran commanders were found mutilated and showed evidence of torture prior to death.[5]

FebruaryEdit

  • February 12th: Joseph Capelli was found in a torpid state bleeding from apparently self-inflicted wounds during a routine checkup at SRPA Station 003 (SFCA). Capelli became instantly alert and enraged when being medically helped by attending physicians and attacked them until being subdued by Sgt. Benjamin Warner and several security guards and then transferred to the G Level Holding Zone. Immediate psychological profile ordered. Status listed as "RED" until further notice.[8]

  • May 15th: The events of Resistance 2 begins. The Chimera launched a full scale invasion on both the east and west coasts of America. The Chimeran fleet devastates military installations on each coast. 60 percent of U.S. armed forces are killed within the first 72 hours of the assault. [10]
  • May 15th: Chimeran forces attack San Francisco and SPRA Station 003. Echo Team assist in defending SRPA Station 003 and damaging a Chimeran airship prior to evacuating the base.
  • May 15th: Echo Team tracked down a Chimeran airship, that was damaged in San Francisco, in Orick. Echo Team boarded the airship and discovered the Chimeran fleet is preparing to breach into the northwest sector of the Liberty Defense Perimeter in Twin Falls, Idaho.
  • May 15th: The Liberty Defense Tower near Twin Falls, Idaho was attacked by Chimeran ground forces and leaving Twin Falls vulnerable to a Spire attack.
  • May 15th: Echo Team arrives in Twin Falls, which had fell to a Spire attack, amd reactivates the town's Defense Towers back online and annhilating a Chimeran sub-fleet. However, Daedalus' flagship bypass the perimeter and arrives at Bryce Canyon. Nathan Hale, acting on his resolve, travel to Bryce Canyon to save Dr. Fyodor Malikov.
  • May 15th: Nathan Hale and his squad arrives at Station Genesis, where Daedalus succeeds in activating the Bryce Canyon Chimeran Tower in Utah. Hale rescue and escape with Dr. Fyodor Malikov.
  • May 16th: SRPA forces led an assault in Chicago with the purpose of shutting down the city's Chimeran tower. Although SRPA were able to take the tower, but it is remotely reactivated by Daedalus from Holar, Iceland.
  • May 17th: SRPA forces assaults the Holar Tower, but encounter heavy Chimeran forces led by Daedalus. The assault ultimately becomes a total loss resulting in heavy human casualties including the deaths of Sgt. Benjamin Warner and SPC. Aaron Hawthorne. Lt. Nathan Hale is near-fatally wounded by Daedalus and falls into a coma.
  • May 24th: Operation Crucible is initiated. Specter Team is tasked to regain Chimera-occupied Bryce Canyon and retrieve the large quantities of grey tech. Dr. Malikov reports that the Chimeran nuclear reactors is somewhere in the area and also the tower is connected to another towers via massive underground power conduits. Malikov believe that if they destroy the nuclear reactors in the surrounding tower, which will trigger the unstable chain reaction along the tower network and destroy the tower in Bryce Canyon and also several connected towers, using the same technique from Nathan Hale. [11]
  • May 25th: Reports from British Intelligence and SRPA aerial reconnaissance in South America confirm that the Chimera are activating Chimeran tower nodes across the planet, United States, South America, Iceland, Africa, Europe and Asia had documented 58 active towers.[12]
  • May 27th: Three weeks after the events in SRPA Station Genesis, Dr. Fyodor Malikov writes in his journal of recommending hand-held electric weapons should neuroptera spiculus, or commonly known as "The Swarm", becomes prevalent in the future.[13]

  • May 29th: Reconnaissance team of SRPA unable to locate Daedelus after his escape from Iceland since nearly two weeks ago.[15]
  • May 31st: Specter Team has successfully eliminated most of the Chimeran command structure in Bryce Canyon. The gray tech components recovered from Bryce Canyon are sent to SRPA 11, where the research team has found increasing evidence to support Dr. Julia Cathcart's theory of the "Prometheus Weapon". SRPA assumes that Daedalus is attempting to reassemble the weapon, making acquisition of the gray tech components a top priority.[16]

JuneEdit

  • June 2nd: Douglas MacArthur is sworn in as temporary leader of the United States after the fall of the Liberty Defense Perimeter and the deaths of President McCullen and his cabinet members.[17]
  • June 4th: Four Chimeran battleships were sighted moving south towards the Chicxulub Crater in Mexico.[18]
  • June 7th: Additional Chimeran ships have been coming to the Chicxulub crater each day. On the ground, Chimeran ground forces have excavated a very large tower (that is four times the size of the Chicago tower) from the center of the crater.[19]
  • June 9th: Specter Team has successfully contained the Chimeran threat in Bryce Canyon, and also in destroying the Chimeran reactors, as per recommended by Dr. Fyodor Malikov, which causes a series of chain reactions throughout the underground conduit network that have successfully destabilize the surrounding Chimeran towers in the region.[20]
  • June 11th: Dr. Richard P. Feynman met with Dr. Fyodor Malikov and discuss over their progress on Project Prometheus and the Chimera's current actions over the Chicxulub crater. Dr. Malikov shares his belief that the towers, gray tech, and the Chicxulub crater are somehow all tied to an ancient war between the original Chimera and an unknown alien race. [21]
  • June 12th: Project Prometheus researchers at SRPA 11 reported that the Prometheus Weapon could be much more dangerous than SRPA have presumed it to be; implying that the weapon to be a doomsday device capable of wiping out all but the most primitive life on the planet.[22]
  • June 12th: In the aftermath of the Battle of Warsaw, James Grayson is listed by the Maquis as missing in action. Though, Russian refugees talk rumors of a British soldier roaming through the streets of Minsk, Kiev, and Moscow; a man they called the "Cloven Killer".[23]
  • June 14th: Operation Wrath of God is initiated. Specter Team is sent in to infiltrate the Holar Tower to retrieve all gray tech components in the location before the Chimera can make any further progress in building the Prometheus Weapon.[24]
  • June 14th: American command stations lost radio contact with naval crews in Hawaii at approximately 0100 hours. At 0823 hours, the crew of the USS Providence, which had been sent to resupply the Hawaii colony, reported that all 172,000 civilians and the crews of the battleships surrounding the islands had disappeared without a trace.[25]

  • June 16th: The research team at SRPA 11 recombined nine gray tech components to form a "super-computing" machine.[27]
  • June 18th: Dr. Richard Feynman and his team at SRPA 11 "program" the gray tech computer to compute Mersenne Prime numbers with intriguing results.[27]
  • June 20th: Dr. Fyodor Malikov becomes concern the inevitable meeting between Nathan Hale and Daedalus, believing that should either one of them survived in their encounter it would be "devastating to humanity".[29]
  • June 21st: The Chimeran command forces in Iceland are in disarray due to Operation Wrath of God, resulting in Daedalus to abandon pursuing the Prometheus Weapon and retreating to the Chicxulub crater.

SRPA initiate Operation Black Eden in an attempt to destroy Daedelus's flagship with the fission bomb. Major Richard Blake and Daedalus are killed. However, the detonation of the fission bomb “kick starts” the tower network, creating a massive energy surge that is channel towards the Chimeran hub tower in New York City and opening a wormhole over the city.[10] More tragically, Nathan Hale succumbs to the Chimeran virus and is killed by Joseph Capelli. After Hale's death, Dr. Fyodor Malikov studied Hale's corpse and found a unique antigen in Hale’s blood that become the basis for a cure against the Chimeran virus, aptly dubbed as the Hale Vaccine.[32]
