Thanks to everyone for being so supportive of this story. Because of you guys, I managed to write something decent in my life :p I know that this chapter is short, but right now I am contemplating what to do for a next story. I hope I have satisfied everyone who enjoyed this. And once again, I do not own the material of the F.E.A.R. story, for that all belongs to Monolith Studios.

Time to finish this!

F.E.A.R.

FIRST ENCOUNTER ASSAULT RECON

EPILOGUE

AFTERMATH

The "Point Man"
Something is above me. My eyes slowly open to see what it could be. It was black, and it was making some loud noises. I can't feel my body anymore. Either I'm in so much pain for having the entire city blown up in front of me... or I am now dead.

As my eyes began to recover some more, I could see that the black object coming to me was a helicopter. I wasn't sure who it belonged to, for it was too far for me to tell what kind it was. I could hear a voice of a woman talking into the radio still attached to my ear. It was Jin...

"There he is!" she said, possibly to the pilot as the chopper began to descend towards me. They came back for me. The pain overwhelms me as I return to sleep once more.

I wake up again, now inside the helicopter. Douglas Holiday was sitting down on one of the seats as he looked at me. Jin Sun-Kwon was sitting beside me just a few feet in front of me as she saw me awaken. Both of them had lots of dirt covering their face and uniforms, probably from bringing me inside this chopper. We were now in the air, far above the city below. The side door of the helicopter was exposed to where I could see outside.

The destruction caused by the explosion I started stretched out for miles. Smoke was risen as high to the clouds. We were so far away from there that it was almost impossible to think that it happened. I'm not sure if I should say that I'm lucky I'm still alive. I was still in a lot of pain. And I wish I could say that all of it was physical. After everything that's happened...

"I don't know how you lived through that..." Holiday told me as he was looking back outside. Neither do I, man. Neither do I...

"We still don't know the extent of the damage." he said as he and Jin continued to look out at the epicenter of the explosion. God knows what's going to happen because of this.

"We haven't been able to get through to anyone since the explosion." Jin said out loud. If I could move my arms, I would try and check to see if it was still possible to contact HQ.

Jin then looked at both me and Holiday as she asked two questions that truly got my attention.

"What about Alma? What happened to her?"

My mother is...

...

Alma is gone now. What was left of her died in her childhood. All that remained after that was nothing but fury and sorrow. Hopefully, she may now rest in peace. She deservea it...

Something had hit the side of the chopper as it rocked a bit. We all looked around to see what it was that could've caused it. Jin asked "What was that sound?" as I was unsure what to make of it. Then I saw an arm enter the inside of the helicopter. It brought its head up to look at me with those soulless eyes.

Alma is still alive.

Genevieve Aristide
What a mess. Harlan sure started a lot of shit for not listening to me. And now the bastard goes off and dies because of it. May he rest in peace, if possible. I pick up the telephone to call and contact the Senator about what has happened. Hopefully he's not too upset. After a few rings, he then picks up the phone. I first start the conversation by saying:

"Senator, it's Genevieve Aristide. I just wanted to assure you that Origin situation has been resolved." I told him with my calm, collected voice.

"But so much for discretion..." he said a little frustrated. Well, I guess he is a little upset. Good thing I know just to thing to cheer him up.

"It was unavoidable. There is some good news, however. The first prototype was a complete success." I say to the powerful figure. He did sound to be in a better mood.

I can't wait to tell him all about my idea on how to handle the crisis. "Project Harbinger" is sure to work.

Once again, thank you everyone for everything! As for any possible sequels, I might be considering either doing another novelization of the expansion pack, Extraction Point, or the next numbered title, F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin. If anything else, I may want to do a POV story of all the following characters in this game to explain a story through their perspectives. Inbox me or review this chapter so I may think about what I might do next. Have a great day! :)
