Project Abraham was a viral web game that was launched on ProjectAbraham.com on July 3, 2008 as part of a marketing campaign for Resistance 2. It centers around a top-secret military project codenamed Project Abraham, under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Department of War and was conducted between October and December 1950 by the Special Research Projects Administration as a means to find a cure to the Chimeran virus (known as the "European Influenza" by the research team). Volunteers were injected with experimental vaccines to the virus, followed by a dose of the Chimeran virus itself. The results were often gruesome and unsuccessful. The project occurs before the events of Resistance: Fall of Man.

Story Synopsis[]
In November 1950, the U.S. Department of War launched a research initiative, Project Abraham, designed to eradicate the Chimeran virus, which has infected millions of people in Europe months after the outbreak of the Chimeran War. Project Abraham takes place in a remote military facility near Anchorage, Alaska and a team of biochemical experts from the Special Research Projects Administration formulate several permutations of serums to be used on human volunteers in an attempt to discover the vaccine against the virus. All participants were forewarned about the hazardous procedure that will alter their genetic makeup. Unknown to the participants, Project Abraham's actual goal is the creation of a military branch of super-soldiers that are immune to the virus known as "Sentinels".
Seven test subjects participated in the project: Joseph Capelli, Channing Brown, Keith Oster, Glenn Khaner, Nathan Hale, Frank Gennaro, and Kenneth Danby. Project Abraham was overseen by Colonel Grant Thompson and Dr. Cassandra Aklin, who monitors the psychological states of the test subjects.
The project temporarily halted after Joseph Capelli reacted violently to his injection and was rendered into a coma. As a result, Dr. Aklin is assigned to determine and assess the remaining six candidates to be the next subject after resuming the test trial. Brown, Khaner, and Gennaro did not survived from their injection in which the serum severely mutated their bodies; massive organ failure, mental breakdown, and rapid cellular multiplication. Oster violently refused to take part in the experiment and was shot in self-defense after threatening to kill an orderly. Hale was given a different serum provided from Base Station Genesis after Dr. Fyodor Malikov had made a potential breakthrough with the latest serum that was given to another test subject, Jordan Adam Shepherd. Hale fell into a brief coma. Danby, the last candidate, was immediately exempted by SRPA due to his expertise in biochemical analysis (specifically in carbon analysis) that is essential for Station Genesis.
Project Abraham is decommissioned and its initiatives are transferred to Station Genesis. The project had not achieved in finding a cure to the virus, but had deemed Hale's results to be a success that would prove essential in future studies. Before Project Abraham was shut down, Aklin met Hale for the last time in her office. Hale, fully recovered, is prepared to be sent back into the Army and ship out to Britain (leading to the events of Resistance: Fall of Man), and is intent on, not only finding out the truth of what is transpiring in Europe, but also to find out what he is now, as the injection has "changed" him.
Gameplay[]
Follow the Map[]
At the bottom of page 2 of the Popular Technologies foldout is a cutout to mail in for free information. The dashed 'cut here' line along the bottom is actually Morse code:
..-. --- .-.. .-.. --- .-- - .... . -- .- .--.
This translates to: FOLLOW THE MAP
In the upper right corner of the same page is a map of Europe, overlaid with a grid of gray squares, some containing white dots. The grid is found to be 26 squares wide. nterpreting the column position of the dots (1-26) as a letter (A-Z) and reading down, yields the phrase: HOW FAR WILL THEY GO PROJECT ABRAHAM.
ProjectAbraham.com is discovered shortly after, which contains a video. At the end of the ProjectAbraham video, more Morse code is heard:
-... .-.. .- -.-. -.- --- ..- -
This translates to: BLACKOUT
ProjectAbraham.com/Blackout is discovered.
Candidates[]
On Tuesday July 29, after Channing Brown was voted to receive the next injection, his results became available. The Project Abraham Inbox received a new letter - the lab results of Brown's injection.
Brown is labeled as "P.A. SUBJECT #764122AX" with "PEL# dk62462a". Noting the similar file naming convention as used perviously in the SRPA Terminal, two commands can be attempted:
GET 764122AX:
This returns the error: "You do not have access to this file"
GET dk62462a:
This returns a folder list of additional document numbers:
Name:
Brown, ChanningService No.
764122ax
PEL:
dk62462a1
dk62462a2
dk62462a3
dk62462a4
dk62462a5
dk62462a6
dk62462a7
dk62462a8
Subsequently, GETing each of those files leads to a number of image documents:
DK62462A7, a letter from a British contact, has a number of strange typos in the text.
DK62462A8, a torn out page from a Bible, is a strange personal item to possess, at least it seems out of place. The letter also appears to have markings that match the upper and lower right corners of the scripture page.
Solution[]
It was discovered that by making 'holes' where the typos occurred in the letter, then placing the scripture page underneath aligned with the corner markings from the letter, the holes highlighted specific letters on the scripture page.
The letters seen through the holes spell out: mypasswordisbelinda
Returning to the SRPA Terminal, logging in (guessing at Phillip Howard's username in a standard form) with the command "SEC howardp:belinda" returns "You have successfully logged in". You can now access the restricted page from earlier using: GET 764122AX
On this page is another code: Content reviewed by PPG - Assoc. Doc: XX458198. Executing GET XX458198 retrieves another document; however: not listed are two additional documents.
Notice, on the last document (XX458200) is a special stamp: i2p8y0bynt2k. This is a Document Control number that's wanted by AFAO - submit the number to AFAO Tip Box and your task is complete. Furthermore, there are four more documents listed in XX458200:
On Tuesday August 5, after Keith Oster was voted to receive the next injection, Lab Results became available. In his dossier was placed the lab results of his planned injection.
Oster is labeled as "P.A. SUBJECT #492132FB" with "PEL# bu75207b". Attempting to GET file 492132FB returns "Error: File does not exist". Attempting to GET file BU75207B returns a folder list of additional document numbers:
Name:
Oster, KeithService No.
492132fb
PEL:
bu75207b1
bu75207b2
bu75207b3
bu75207b4
bu75207b5
Subsequently, GETing each of those files leads to a number of image documents:
The final document - the "Notice of confiscated materials" - contains an associated document name, documents that were found on Elden Stockmeyer's body - file XX334147SV. (This number could also be located in a simpler way by looking at the picture of Oster's possessions in his dossier.) XX34147SV is a large PDF of seven pages, containing an encrypted filename that must be deciphered in order to retrieve classified documents about Project LDP.
Solution[]
The instructions laid out on pages 1 through 3 are paraphrased as follows (to be applied to the map formed by pages 4 through 7):
- Locate the operative towers using the included list of coordinate triplets (X axis / Y axis / Quadrant 1-4). Label the locations with the associated letter.
- Double the distance from the HQ (the central marker) to each coordinate, and mark the resulting location (a 4x4 square however) with the same letter.
- Using the key in the lower right of the map, connected each letter pair.
- Mark each intersection of 2 or more lines where they overlap a numbered landmark. Once all intersections/landmarks are noted, connect them to form the perimeter of the proposed LDP.
- Make a note of each landmark's number forming the perimeter. Organize the number from smallest to largest, and separate them with a hyphen.
- The resulting string (with no spaces) is file which can be retrieved from the SRPA Terminal.
The series of landmark intersections is as follows: 4-11-12-13-18-21-24-26-27-29-32-33-34
Taking this string as a file name, and GETing it reveals:
Result:
Survey found. See LDP313619PM
GETing LDP313619PM (and SAVEing it once loaded) downloads a very large PDF map outlining the proposed LDP perimeter:
In the bottom left of the map is a stamp with another associated document - SCNR458849. This document is a 2 colour explanation of "Military Scenarios for Homeland Defense". Reading through the very detailed, informative document, at the very bottom is another associated document - DEP783528.
DEP783528 is a top secret US Army Department of War memo, an "Executive Summary of the Evacuation Plan". Again, reading through, at the end of the "Morale Issues" section, is another document reference - MPXX336684.
MPXX336684 is the "Masada Proposal". Once again, reading through, near the bottom is another document reference - LDP227489WK.
LDP227489WK is the classified Liberty Defense Tower High Level Summary. This is the location of the next Document Control Number. In the upper right is the stamp: f2np456hygb7, which is the DCN wanted by the AFAO. Submitting the number to the AFAO Tip Box completes the task.
At the bottom of the document, however, are references to another 7 documents detailing more classified information:
On Tuesday August 12, after Glenn Khaner the third injection, his results became available. In his dossier was placed the lab results of his injection.
Khaner is labeled as "P.A. SUBJECT #475247UD" with "PEL# nv92374a" Attempting to GET file NV92374A returns a folder list of additional document numbers:
Name:
Khaner, GlennService No.
475247ud
PEL:
nv92374a1
nv92374a2
nv92374a3
Subsequently, GETing each of those files leads to a number of image documents:
The second document, Khaner's security access to Ice Station Igloo contains his security clearance code: KHGSRPA44397. This photo shows no code, but is a part of another series of photos:
This is a dead end. But the third document, NV92374A3, contains a reference code: LL272198LSA.
Three cities are listed, with degree angles and distances, in order to triangulate the source of a weak Russian Morse code signal.
Ipswich 79.5deg 1900 miles
Darwin 318.3deg 6700 miles
Anchorage 349.9deg 4815 miles
Locating the cities, align North as 0 degrees, and approximate an angle of departure. Traversing a round map is essential, as a flat map of the globe won't provide an accurate path. Google Earth allows for a spherical map. Using the path tool, with each city centered and north facing up, create a two point path following the approximate angle required until the distance is nearly matched. Once all three vectors have been mapped, move to the region where the lines are near intersecting. Adjust the tips of the paths until they meet (or visually estimate their converging point) in which they converge over Volgograd, Russia.
At the footer of the document is the phrase "Entered into LATLONDB". GET LATLONDB to run a small application that will 'listen in' on a specific geolocation. Required input is the latitude and longitude: DD-MM-H/DD-MM-H.
Entering the Google Earth location for Volgograd in the above form: 48-43-N/44-30-E.
This returns the results: VOL787833
This file also has an associated document: AN952795LOG which is a list of additional log files:
Log #3 contains another associated document number: DNA548781PA
This file contains another associated doc #: AN94253577.
On Tuesday, August 19, after Nathan Hale was voted to receive the next injection, his results became available. Hale is labeled
Hale is labeled as "P.A. SUBJECT #849324LF" with "PEL# cp55792a". Attempting to GET file CP55792A returns a folder list of additional document numbers:
Name:
Hale, NathanService No.
849324lf
PEL:
cp55792a0
cp55792a1
cp55792a2
cp55792a3
cp55792a4
Subsequently, GETing each of those files leads to one text document and four image documents:
CP55792A0 is the text document which leads to the file, concerning the history behind the bullet in Hale's personal effects, but it provides no direct leads.
CP55792A4 has a new lead: an associated document stamp leading to file RF992388LS, an audio document and the primary puzzle for the week. The audio, apparently being broadcasted from an unidentified location, consists of a series of electronic beeps of various tones.
Solution[]
- First, download the RF992388LS mp3 file (note "1200hz (Duplo)" in the MP3's ID3 title tag).
- Open the sound file using a spectrogram program, and get an image of the audio from start to finish.
- Note the two layers of extremely long strings of dots and dashes through the sound file - these are not Morse codes!
- 1200hz is the approximate frequency of the main signal in the sound, but the signal does drop to about 800hz about a third of the way through, before returning to the original level.
- Notice that every 3 (in some cases 2) sets of 2x3 blocks, ends with its top row of 3 being empty
- Following the idea of 'duplo' (duplex, or essentially doubled, stacked), place each block on top of the previous one
- In whichever order you want to do it - just make sure at the end you flip the entire string vertically - the text is mirrored if the map y axis is low to high frequency (consequently, if the spectrogram frequency was mapped from top to bottom, flipping wouldn't be necessary to correctly orient the text).
- Each 'letter' is comprised of 3 (or in some cases 2) sets of 2x3 blocks. once correctly grouped and the letter/number determined, throughout the entire sound file, you get the resulting message:
..............CQ CQ CQ CQ SRPARU9 SRPARU9 SRPARU9 DE SRPARU9 SRPARU9 SRPARU9 DE SRPARU9 SRPARU9 SRPARU9 SRPANETHQ SRPANETHQ SRPANETHQ PSA KKK ITEM RETRIEVED, PHOTOGRAPHED AND REPLACED WITHOUT SUBJECT'S KNOWLEDGE. ALL APPEARS IDENTICAL TO AS DETAILED IN DM177532 SOURCE OF ORIGINAL TRANSCRIPT UNIDENTIFIED. WILL CONTINUED SURVEILLANCE. SRPARU9 ---OLT..............
Continuing, this leads to the file DM177532, a Russian transcript. It contains no leads, but following previous naming conventions, the file DM177533 can be downloaded. There is no DM177534, but in this instance, there is a file DM177531, and and file DM177530.
DM177530 is a classified photo of SRPA Station Igloo. This is the location of the next Document Control Number. In the upper center is the stamp: J7OZ3BPC5XYT.
Submit the DCN to AFAO Tips and the task is complete.On Tuesday August 26, after Frank Gennaro received the fifth injection, his results became available. In his dossier was placed the lab results of his injection.
Gennaro is labeled as "P.A. SUBJECT #389245TC" with "PEL# nb52703a". Attempting to GET file NB52703A returns a folder list of additional document numbers:
Name:
Gennaro, FrankService No.

PEL:
nb52703a1
nb52703a2

nb52703a5
nb52703a6
nb52703a7
nb52703a8
nb52703a9
nb52703a10
Subsequently, GETing each of those files leads to a number of image documents:
NB52703A7 is Gennaro's relocation card, issued as part of the LDP program. It contains the file number FG4400-82-33REL, which shows where he would have been stationed during an invasion had he lived. Following this convention, by adding REL to Genaro's wife's government ID from NB52703A5, we find that her relocation status has been denied BH5677-01-22REL. NB52703A10 has an associated document stamp that leads to file TO447109, an overview of the Sentinel Program. Using its naming convention leads to TO447110.
The document is written in code; specifically, it has been run through a ADFGVX cipher, a coding system used by the Germans in World War I. Encoding the text requires the use of a 5-letter code word, in this case "night" has been used. The message translates:
SRPA RESEARCH BULLETIN ATTN SRPA7 FLAG FOR DOCTORS RICHARD PFEVN MANJULIA CATHCART SRPA8

REF SUPPORT DOC WA291156
This leads to WA291156, an image of the weapon in question. Take the file's name and increase its number by 1, file WA291157 is found: a list of new weapons being developed by SRPA for the Sentinel program. At the bottom right of the document is the document control number: B579H3CQ6ZJT.
There are also more numbers on the document containing weapon pictures, and using the "file number +1" system on two of the documents reveals an extra picture and a letter from a congressman to SRPA:
Test Results[]
Joseph Capelli - inoculated on November 2nd, 1950. After being injected, Capelli became violently aggressive and attack his own doctor with his new-found superhuman strength before fell into a coma and has awoken since then. He was moved to Base Station Genesis for monitoring.
Channing Brown - inoculated on November 14th, 1950. Brown had an extremely adverse reaction to the Chimeran virus. When injected, the virus and anti-virus created a chemical reaction that caused his internal organs to liquefy, causing him to vomit them all up. He died within seconds of being injected. The autopsy has not been performed. This might have been a more severe version of Frank Gennaro's scenario.
Keith Oster - fail to inoculate on November 20th, 1950. Oster never received his injection, as he became uncontrollably aggressive after he discovered that Cassandra Aklin didn't have feelings for him as he did for her. A soldier was forced to kill him using his sidearm after Oster threaten to kill the doctor who was to inject him.
Glenn Khaner - inoculated on November 30th, 1950. When Khaner was injected with the virus, his cell structure began mutating and his body started forming new tissue extremely rapidly in and around his lungs, brain cavity, and neck, and his eyes turned yellow. He died several minutes later due to suffocation. This reaction was most likely the Chimeran tissue regeneration which grew out of control.
Nathan Hale - inoculated on December 1st, 1950. After injection, Hale complained of seeing gruesome, bloody images whenever he blinked, but refused assistance, saying it was all in his head. He then fell into a coma, but it was noted that his pupils still reacted to light. Curiously, Hale's face would flush, but only when Aklin entered the room. Hale is a survivor of Project Abraham along with Joseph Capelli. As revealed in Fall of Man, the serum injected into Hale has given him his semi-immunity to the Chimeran virus.
Frank Gennaro - inoculated on December 8th, 1950. Gennaro was injected with the vaccine, and complained of pain afterward. This was a result of the Chimera's higher metabolism which affected him before he was injected with the virus. Gennaro was then injected with the actual virus. He advanced further into the Chimeran condition than any other test subject, as his skull began to grow extra eye sockets and fangs. His system shut down after his body reached a temperature of 106 degrees Fahrenheit and, as the pain was too much, he cut himself open with a broken flask, and pulled out his own organs. He died several minutes later. This is likely because the virus spread and fused with the internal organs so quickly, that when the antibody was injected, it attacked most internal organs, causing the burning sensation.
Kenneth Danby - exempted on December 15th, 1950. After learning of Danby's involvement in Project Abraham, Colonel Dan Peterson demanded the release of Danby to his base in Bryce Canyon.
Afterward[]
It seems that a cure has not been found for the virus. However, the candidates who survived their immunization to the Chimeran virus led to the creation of an elite super-soldier task force code-named "Sentinels". Project Abraham was decommissioned on December 15, 1950.
After Nathan Hale's death, the Hale vaccine was created from his unique protein, which was created as the byproduct of the Pure Chimera DNA injected in him. Ironically, this makes Project Abraham a success but it took many years to actually achieve it.
Timeline of Events[]
July 1[]
GamePro magazine releases a featured story about Resistance 2 for PS3, containing a detailed pamphlet, titled "Popular Technologies", with a visible URL for the website Getawarjob.com and a phone number to join the US Military: 866-931-9417.
July 3[]
The Popular Technologies pamphlet contained a cryptic puzzle which was quickly solved, leading to ProjectAbraham.com. It displays a video with Morse code heard at the trailing end. The video shows from the viewpoint of an unknown male lying on a gurney, a group of medical staff and soldiers are rushing him down a pale green hallway with propaganda posters on the wall. The patient is in dire condition and the quality of his "sight" and "hearing" are therefore unstable; at various times his vision rolls, has over-saturated colors, blurs, and seems to skip back and forth in time. Dr. Cassie Aklin is one of the staff member overseeing the patient, and understands that the patient needs help. One of the doctors tries to inject something into the patient in which Aklin attempts to stop him but is taken away by the soldiers.
At the end of the video a flatline tone turns into Morse code which reads: -... .-.. .- -.-. -.- --- ..- -
Which translates to: BLACKOUT
The Morse code at the end of the video leads to a new page - ProjectAbraham.com/Blackout, displays a tabletop, on which is a photograph of seven men in military uniform - the candidates of Project Abraham. The photo can be picked up and moved around.
July 8[]
On November 6, 1950, a letter from Col. Grant Thompson to Dr. Cassie Aklin has been placed on the Blackout tabletop. The letter reads in tasking Dr. Aklin in monitoring the psychological states of the test subjects and chosen in choosing one out of three subjects, who are biologically best suited to that week's trial.
The second video appears. It shows Dr. Aklin in a argument with a doctor over her previous actions with the comatose patient. The doctor mentions the "situation" in Europe and warns Dr. Aklin about the patient's condition subjected to the "influenza" and that his affliction could "kill us all." Dr. Aklin further recant her reluctance in having the candidates being put through the project. Thereafter a continuous slamming is on a door beside Cassie. The doctor tries to hold the door, telling Dr. Aklin to get help, but is knock back. The slamming continues as soldiers rush to the scene before the first door panel gets smashed in.
July 14[]
The site includes a countdown in the footer, to Tuesday July 22, 12:00pm Pacific.
July 15[]
The third video appears, showing Dr. Aklin sitting at the bedside of the patient, now known to be a "test subject", who is restrained Dr. Aklin comforts the patient by holding his hand before being confronted by Colonel Thompson, who informs her that the project doctors are looking for the next subject and are waiting for her recommendation. Dr. Aklin is furious and refuse to do so in having another soldier ended up as the patient, stating that she is told to decide "who lives and who dies". However, Thompson tells her that it is her duty. The scene flash-forward, showing only Dr. Aklin talking to herself: "I can't do this alone."
July 22[]
The countdown ends, providing a link to the voting interface - to view dossiers, the PA inbox, and the first vote. The seven soldiers are Frank Gennaro, Capelli, Khaner, Hale, Brown, Danby, and Oster.
A new letter is also available - each letter now viewable in the Project Abraham Inbox.
The first vote is between Gennaro, Danby, and Oster.
The fourth video is also added to the front page, showing a message from Dr. Aklin. Which she decides in putting the viewers in choosing the subjects to be next candidate to be injected.
The a telegram/email received via the Getawarjob.com which leads to AmericaFirstAmericaOnly.com.
July 25[]
The first vote ends, resulting in Channing Brown receiving the next injection. A number of additional content is available.
Sergeant Channing Brown receives a 59% vote from the public. A new video records his reaction on being informed by Cassie - Psych. Office Surveillance, 11/10/1950, and two documents (a post-vote psych report, and a partial fax from the SRPA) are inserted into his dossier.
An audio message from Cassie is available, documenting her personal reaction to the vote.
A new letter appears in the Project Abraham Inbox.
July 29[]
Channing Brown did not survive. Cassie inserts a number of items in the candidates' Dossiers - Psych reports on the reactions from Danby, Oster, Gennaro (also the fact that he's the new candidate for the second vote). She also reported lab results to PA's Inbox. The second vote is open, which the following candidates are Gennaro, Danby, and Oster. Cassie expresses grief in having to include Gennaro in the selection, written in a Psych Report in Gennaro's dossier.
The US War Department Office of Psychological Profile (OPP) sent Dr. AKlin a copy of the Freiberghen Open-Association Test (Personality Test) to help analyze the candidates. The Personality Test is also available to be taken online, by answering a series of questions, then optionally including contact information for further updates and/or additional testing.
July 31[]
Dr. Aklin begins calling contacts who registered at Projectabraham.com with their mobile number. The call is a (pre-recorded) message, voiced by Katee Sackhoff herself, encouraging people to help her by visiting Projectabraham.com.
August 1[]
Oster is voted as the next injection candidate. His dossier is updated with Cassie's psych report, as are Gennaro's and Danby's.
Sergeant Oster receives a 73% vote from the public. A new video records his reaction on being informed by Cassie. Oster is overheard talking with Hale about a past event, which is transcribed and filed in SRPA.
August 5[]
Oster's injection results are in and documented in a video, his dossier and the PA inbox. The test results are unresolved - Oster began attacking an orderly and was eventually shot to death by a soldier before the serum could be administered. New psych reports are made by Cassie, for Khaner (the new selection, whose induction video is also available), Capelli, Danby, Gennaro, and Hale. Khaner has been selected as the new injection candidate, and the third vote begins with him, Gennaro and Danby.
The U.S. War Department deems the personality test results "unexpected" and sends Cassie a Rorschach test to follow up with.
August 7[]
Cassie again calls contacts who registered at Projectabraham.com with mobile number, reminding people to vote the next day. Cassie's call is a pre-recorded message as before, encouraging people to help her by visiting Projectabraham.com.
August 8[]
Khaner is voted as the next injection candidate. His dossier is updated with Cassie's psych report, a video of his reaction; Gennaro and Danby also receive psych reports.
Khaner's dossier also includes an audio transcript where he reveals to Hale that he failed heavily on a 'placement exam' (which is circled in red) with the number 826478 written next to it. This leads to a new SRPA Terminal file - PE826478.
August 12[]
Khaner's injection results are in and documented in a video, his dossier and the PA inbox. Khaner did not survive the injection. The fourth vote begins with the remaining three candidates - Hale, Gennaro and Danby - up for injection. Their dossiers are updated with new pysch reports.
August 14[]
Cassie calls people who registered at Projectabraham.com with mobile number a third time, reminding people to vote the next day.
August 15[]
Hale is voted as the next injection candidate. His dossier is updated with Cassie's psych report, a video documenting his reaction and a letter. The letter has a stamp leading to a SRPAnet file featuring Hale's "Young Ranchers of South Dakota" membership oath.
Two new memos in the PA inbox are added, one memo leads to new SRPA files related to Project Abraham security and Nathan Hale.
August 19[]
Hale's injection results are in and documented in a video, his dossier and the PA inbox. Hale survived the injection, but is now in a coma. The fifth vote begins with the remaining two candidates - Gennaro and Danby - up for injection. Their dossiers are updated with new psych reports. Hale's personal effects list number leads to the fourth document control number hunt.
August 22[]
Gennaro is voted as the next injection candidate. His dossier is updated with Cassie's psych report, a video message to his family, two letters and a check. The check has a couple of words circled: SBST and account #67100928, which leads to an SRPA filed back balance report. It is revealed that Gennaro owed $10,000 in gambling debts and joined Project Abraham to pay them off.
August 26[]
Gennaro's injection results are in and documented in a video, his dossier and the PA inbox. Gennaro did not survive. As only Danby remains, he will be injected by default. Gennaro's personal effects list number leads to the fifth document control number hunt. Project Abraham's Chimera vaccine is revealed to be part of a much larger SRPA project to create human super soldiers known as Sentinels.
A letter on ProjectAbraham.com's homepage reveals that an event will occur on December 15 (August 29th in real life) in Seattle.

Trivia[]
Nathan Hale looking at the photograph.
Just left of Hale is the same picture in the basement of Benjamin Warner's house in Resistance 2.
- Project Abraham was foreshadowed in the opening cinematic of Resistance: Fall of Man, in which Hale kept a photo of the participants of Project Abraham. Another photo appeared in the basement of Benjamin Warner's house in Resistance 2.
- An unknown subject in the video section, titled "C. Alkin/N. Hale Surv." shows an unknown subject receiving a dosage of the virus without any sample cure. Upon closer inspection, the subject appears to be Kenneth Danby. Whether Danby was actually administered the virus or if the video was simply left on the website to show how he would have died had he had been voted to take the virus remains to be seen.[1]
- Some of the guards were armed with Colt M1911 pistols and M14 battle rifles, however, the M14 was invented to take place of the variety of weapons that were used by the Allies in World War II, which didn't happen in the Resistance Universe.
- Ironically, Khaner's case said in his induction video, "They're not gonna let me die, are they?" However, when Khaner becomes suffocated with his own tissue, the head doctor said "It'll just prolong things." When another doctor suggested to do surgery to relieve him.
