The event drove Grayson into deserting his unit and went on a vendetta to eliminate every conversion center he can find to avenge his brother.

June

 * The US fleet reaches the British coast, and deploys aerial surveillance craft to scout the area; no signs of human or animal life are detected.

July

 * After unsuccessfully trying to contact British forces, the US navy launches Operation: Deliverance. U/AV-17 Hawk aircraft deliver the 3rd Ranger Regiment to York, England in order to secure a landing site. The flight is decimated by Chimeran anti-aircraft fire.
 * July 7th: British soldiers followed several Cloven from Lancaster and observe them engaging against the Chimera, despite the Cloven being usually avoiding conflict with the Chimera at all costs.

 * July 11th: Sgt. Nathan Hale and the 1st Ranger Regiment are flown into York. Hale's squad is ambushed by Chimeran Crawlers and infected, although miraculously, Hale regains consciousness and, with the help of a US medic, is able to regroup with the rest of the regiment at an abandoned bus depot. They manage to secure a landing zone at the depot, but the Chimera launch spire missiles, infecting all the surviving troops. Carriers bring them to a Chimeran conversion center in Grimsby, England.

Parsons of SRPA ordered the reclamation of all surviving test subjects of Project Abraham to be analyze should the threat of further transformation, similar to the case of Jordan Shepherd, is contained. After reports of Sgt. Hale being alive and active in England, Parsons order the capture of Hale as a top priority.
 * July 14th: The Battle of London is a major victory for human resistance. The main Chimeran tower is destroyed, creating a unstable chain reaction propagates along the Chimera conduit network, destroying the towers in Britain along with the Angels causing the deaths of Chimeras en mass, liberating Britain from the Chimera. Nathan Hale is later apprehended by a SRPA Black Ops team led by Major Richard Blake.

 * July 24th: Quebec City, Canada came under attacked by a series of Spire missiles. Millions are informed to be killed from the initial bombardments while others in the hundred of thousands were infected by Crawlers. Following this, many comatose bodies overrun local hospitals as the Canadian government is completely unsure how to proceed.
 * July 28th: Chimeran forces are seen gathered at scalar reactor nodes, grouped around each tower. Reconnaissance proves that the nodes provide resupply points for the Hybrids, and that they are connected to the towers' energy grids.

August

 * August 1st: Sgt. Hale is assigned to Sentinel Team Echo under the command of Lt. Hank Leavitt.
 * August 2nd: US platoons are ordered to recover data from a recon base, and come under attack from the Cloven.

An hour later, an Allied response finds only the dead bodies of the humans and Cloven, and the walls of the base blackened by thermite grenades. No data is found.
 * August 7th: The Cloven routinely ransack Chimeran scalar reactor nodes, and the lack of a response from the Chimera would seem to suggest a relationship between the two factions. UK Intelligence believes that the Cloven are stockpiling weapons to use against Allied forces.
 * August 12th: Benjamin Warner is reclaimed by SRPA Tactical Ops.
 * August 13th: Warner is recruited into the Sentinel Program.

 * August 30th: British troops encounter Cloven encampments, but heavy fire forces them to withdraw. After action reports describe Chimeran weapons more devastating than anything seen before; it is currently unknown whether the Cloven are in possession of advanced Chimeran weaponry, or if they've simply modified existing designs.
 * August 30th: Operation Overstrike, the First Squadron of British and Maquis forces assault Rotterdam, Holland, from the air but unexpectedly encounters Chimeran anti-aircraft gun towers that were hastily constructed, and devastated the First Squadron. The operation nearly becomes a disaster, but with the efforts of the surviving remnants of Maquis and British commando forces, they were able to destroy the gun towers and allowing the Second Squadron to reinforce and retake Rotterdam.

September

 * September 6th: James Grayson infected the "heart" of the Chrysalis Lair in Paris, France with Dr. Claude Bouchard's serum allowing the slowing death of the Carriers in Europe, and grounding Chimeran conversion centers to a halt. Major Cartwright's task force successfully destroyed the Paris hub Tower; and just as similar to the destruction of the London Tower, Chimera forces throughout Western Europe became disorganized, confused, and began to die. However Chimeran forces are still active in Spain, the Balkans, and Russia, constructing vast fleets of airships with their targets and destinations unknown at that time.
 * September 18th: Benjamin Warner is cited for a second attempt in making contact with his family.

October

 * President Grace calls for immediate evacuation of Chicago. The evacuation came too late as the city became under attack of Chimeran spires, infecting many of Chicago's population.

As he visits the grave, Hale finds two armed teenagers, Mark and his sister Tina, who had survived on their own for weeks. They stay in the barn that night and are attacked by a group of Steelheads and Grims. Hale and the kids hold them off and escape on a truck to where Purvis and the VTOL are waiting for them. Hale then reluctantly brings the kids to a protection camp to live in.
 * November 23rd: Major Blake called Hale to his office and threatened a court martial over the disobedience of orders and the loss of equipment in his foster family's home but did not see the point in it, and so he simply docked the lost equipment and the used VTOL fuel from his pay. Harley Purvis was also put on a 'Shit list' for helping Hale.

 * November 27th: Washington D.C. came under attack by a Chimeran spire attack, shortly after President Grace makes a public news conference in front of the refurbished Lincoln Memorial. The threat is quickly contained by the military. The attack on Washington forces the American government to be relocated to Denver, Colorado, that is within the Liberty Defense Perimeter.
