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.
