Armacham Technology Corporation Project Reports
Throughout the entire history of Armacham, the extensive research and development corporation has been a part of several illegitimate experimentations funded by governmental branches. But despite their continuous experiments with genetics or biological engineering, all previous projects seem to have been canceled for one reason or another. Whether it is to make room for another experiment or deemed a failure, something has always gone unpredictably wrong.

Project Icarus - An ATC bioengineering research project started in 1973 that stemmed from studies on microgravity related health problems. Icarus was later cancelled by ATC in favor of a new project code-named "Perseus". Apparently all that was left of Icarus after its closure are a number of "prototype" soldiers gifted with lightning fast agility and extraordinary strength. These creatures are more commonly and informally known as Assassins by F.E.A.R. and SFOD-D.

Project Origin - The original plan was to simply create the first prototypes of the project from Alma's DNA, but Harlan Wade was not convinced that psychic abilities were entirely genetic, and thus the project was changed: Alma would be impregnated with the genetically-engineered (from Alma's own DNA) prototypes. She was to be kept in an induced coma for the rest of the project, and was forced to give birth to the prototypes during artificially-stimulated labor.
Origin produced two male prototypes. Alma was fifteen when her first son was born. She was in a drug induced coma during labor, but awoke as her first son is taken away. This prototype was initially deemed a 'failure', and some unspecified time later, she was impregnated with a second son, Paxton Fettel. When Fettel was ten, she linked her mind with his, triggering what Origin researchers dubbed a "Synchronicity Event". During this, Fettel "freaked out" and killed several people. Following this incident, Origin was shut down and the facility sealed. According to Harlan Wade, Alma died six days after they terminated life support.
Later Genevieve Aristide, president of ATC, tried to reactivate the facility as the first step of resurrecting Origin; sending teams down to assess suitability. The re-opening of the vault allowed Alma's psychic presence to escape, resulting in the deaths of the teams Aristide sent down. Free to once again make contact with Fettel, Alma triggered a second synchronicity event, which causes the crisis F.E.A.R. to be initially called to put down.

Perseus Project - Following the fallout from Origin, one of the prototypes produced by it, Paxton Fettel, was used in a project called Perseus, which involved a single psychic commander issuing orders to cloned soldiers via telepathy. Fettel's ability to control the cloned soldiers is what made a synchronicity event with Alma so dangerous. The Perseus project was based in a facility separate from the main ATC headquarters, as evidenced by several phone messages reporting 'gunshots' at the 'Perseus facility', pleading for 'all available security teams to be sent to lock this place down'. It is shown that the Replica soldiers involved in the project left the Perseus facility to fan out to their respective objectives via wheeled armored personnel carriers closely resembling armored cars.
