Vivendi Timeline

From F.E.A.R.

The Vivendi Timeline consists of the Dark Horse comic book, the Alma Interviews, F.E.A.R. First Encounter Assault Recon, F.E.A.R. Extraction Point, and F.E.A.R. Perseus Mandate. (The Extraction Point and Perseus Mandate expansions were released on Xbox 360 as F.E.A.R. Files). Unlike the Monolith Timeline, which includes the first true sequel to the original game, the Vivendi Timeline is considered non-canonical. More specifically, Extraction Point and Perseus Mandate are the two non-canonical games in the series, since official sources have stated that their storylines are ignored by F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin.[1]

[edit] Backstory

  • 1950–1959 — Armacham buys the Rammelmeier Industrial Compound in the Auburn district from the U.S. government in order to gain access to an old underground military complex located beneath the property.[2]
  • 1964 — Armacham Technology Corporation is officially founded and begins taking defense and aerospace contracts.[3]
  • 1973 — Armacham Technology Corporation starts the bioengineering program Project Icarus.[4]
  • 1979 — Alma Wade is born.
  • Alma: Age 7 — Alma Wade is locked in the Vault and put into an induced coma two days before her eighth birthday.[5][6]
  • Alma: Age 8 — Armacham Technology Corporation starts Project Origin.[7]
  • Alma: Age 15 — Alma Wade is removed from the Vault in order to give birth to Project Origin's first prototype, and wakes up temporarily.[8]
  • 1995 — Alma Wade is removed from the Vault a second time and gives birth to Project Origin's second prototype.[9]
  • Fettel: Age 10 — Paxton Fettel, the second prototype, establishes a telepathic link with a comatose Alma Wade, culminating in the first Synchronicity Event. As a result, Project Origin is permanently shut down.[10] Alma's life support is disconnected, and she dies six days later.[11]
  • 20 Years Ago — Residents report nausea and other unusual physical symptoms after spending time in the Auburn district; as a result, people begin leaving and avoiding the area.[12][13]
  • 2002 — The U.S. Army creates the F.E.A.R. unit in order to combat "paranormal threats to national security."[14]

  1. ↑ Dave Matthews of Monolith Productions: "[TimeGate] took the story in a direction that we didn't intend... We look at Extraction Point and Perseus Mandate as an alternate universe, a 'what could have been', and because of that it doesn't necessarily diminish the story that we were trying to tell. F.E.A.R. was about Alma, F.E.A.R. 2 is about Alma, and we wanted to continue the story the way we originally intended."

  2. ↑ Rodney Betters: "The UTM coordinates from Wade's laptop are right smack in the middle of the Rammelmeier industrial compound in Auburn. Place has been shut down for years. [...] 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." (F.E.A.R. First Encounter Assault Recon)

  7. ↑ Rodney Betters: "Says here Alma was 8 years old when Origin started up." (F.E.A.R. First Encounter Assault Recon)
  8. ↑ Harlan Wade: "We removed her from that chamber only twice. She was fifteen when the first prototype was born." (F.E.A.R. First Encounter Assault Recon)
  9. ↑ Rodney Betters: "It says that the first prototype didn't work out. Fettel was the second and there was never a third." (F.E.A.R. First Encounter Assault Recon
  10. ↑ Rodney Betters: "I figured out what a synchronicity event is. There was an incident when they lost control of Fettel. He just suddenly started freaking out. He was only about 10 years old at the time, but I guess he killed a few people. In the investigation, they discovered that there had been a telepathic link between Fettel and Alma even though she was in a coma. They concluded that she was influencing him. That must have been why they pulled the plug on Origin." (F.E.A.R. First Encounter Assault Recon)
  11. ↑ Harlan Wade: "She died six days after we pulled the plug. (F.E.A.R. First Encounter Assault Recon)
  12. ↑ Alice Wade (voicemail): "We're still collating data, but it's pretty clear that whatever 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." (F.E.A.R. First Encounter Assault Recon)
  13. ↑ Alice Wade (voicemail): "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." (F.E.A.R. First Encounter Assault Recon)
