Line 59:
Fettel is located by means of a [[satellite]] tracking device and hunted by F.E.A.R. and Delta Force over several locations.<ref>'''Jin Sun-Kwon''': How do we find him? / '''Betters''': That's easy. He's got a transmitter embedded in his head that'll lead us right to him.</ref> While the villain evades capture by the special forces, the player witnesses unexplained, and occasionally life-threatening, paranormal phenomena, including hallucinations that frequently afflict him, all of which are centered around a red-dressed little girl named [[List of F.E.A.R. characters & organizations#Alma|Alma]]. Laptops found in the course of the mission, conveniently hacked by Commissioner Betters, provide details regarding the background story; the player learns how Fettel was raised to become a telepathic military commander,<ref>'''Betters (reading from an ATC laptop)''': Well, this confirms the point of Perseus was to train telepathic commanders to work with cloned soldiers, although Paxton Fettel was the only commander of the program. The weird thing is they refer to him as the second prototype.</ref> and that he is the son of Alma, who is described as being a powerful psychic, as part of ATC project [[List of F.E.A.R. characters & organizations#Project Origin|Origin]]<ref>'''Betters (reading from an ATC laptop)''': More info on Origin: the genetic reference they used for the program was apparently a powerful psychic. Makes sense. If you want a telepathic commander, you need a telepath. And it was a woman. Says here she gave live birth to the prototypes. Seems Wade wasn't convinced the psychic characteristics were genetic. He figured there was better chance they'd be passed along if the fetus gestated inside the subject. So they put her in a coma, made her carry a genetically engineered baby to term, then induced labor.</ref> and the existence of another child of Alma, who was born before Fettel.<ref>'''Betters (reading from an ATC laptop)''': Here's some more info about Fettel: he's developed as part of a project called Origin. It says the first prototype didn't work out, Fettel was the second, and there was never a third. They just pulled the plug a few years after he was born.</ref>
All clues lead F.E.A.R. to believe Fettel is under control of Alma,<ref>'''Betters (reading from an ATC laptop)''': 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 ten 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's must've been why they pulled the plug on Origin.</ref> who was buried into the Origin facility when ATC closed down the project owing to the danger the woman posed; now the villain is searching for that same facility to free his mother.<ref>'''Betters''': It's starting to make sense. The name of the woman they used for Origin is Alma. That's who Fettel's looking for.</ref> The player takes the Point Man to such an abandoned structure, fighting back both the clone soldiers and ATC, whose [[List of F.E.A.R. characters & organizations#ATC Security Guards|security agents]] have received orders to cover up the whole affair.<ref>'''Betters (reading from an ATC laptop)''': She was just a kid. Says here Alma was eight years old when Origin started up. They used a little girl. No wonder they're so fucking anxious to keep a lid on this mess.</ref> When the protagonist comes to finally face Fettel, he is drawn into an hallucination where the player learns how the Point Man is Alma's first son and is thereafter enabled to kill Fettel himself.<ref>'''Fettel''': We are brothers, you and I. [...] You and I were born from the same mother.</ref> The story does not end here however, as Alma is nonetheless freed when her storage chamber is opened by an ATC researcher, [[List of F.E.A.R. characters & organizations#Harlan Wade|Harlan Wade]], who felt guilty over the company's treatment of Alma. The player is then called to sabotage the structure's reactor, running a gauntlet against Alma's ghosts before the whole ___location explodes. In the aftermath of the detonation, a Delta Force UH-60 Black Hawk extracts the Point Man from the rubble, rescuing him. While the player and the survivors of the F.E.A.R team survey the results of the explosion from the helicopter, Alma makes one last sudden appearance over the side of the helicopter, preparing to pull herself up into the cabin: the destruction of the Origin facility has not stopped her quest for revenge. It is later discovered in the expansion pack that Alma, through unknown means, causes the helicopter to crash; Alma is not seen at the crash site.
After the game's credits, the player can listen to a phone call between a mysterious senator and ATC president [[List of F.E.A.R. characters & organizations#Genevieve Aristide|Aristide]], which offers some further explanation: the woman considers the project under control and deems the first prototype (ostensibly the Point Man) a success.<ref>'''Genevieve Aristide''': I just wanted to assure you that the Origin situation has been resolved. / '''Senator''': But so much for discretion. / '''Genevieve Aristide''': It was unavoidable. There is some good news, however: the first prototype was a complete success.</ref>
