PROJECTΔ-Ω
timeline of events

DNA RESEARCH
Shortly after Francis Crick’s controversial presentation on the relationship between DNA, RNA, proteins, and the
“adaptor hypothesis,” an international forum is assembled between scientific delegates from Russia, Japan, Saudi
Arabia, and the United States. Its purpose is to test the function, limits, and adaptability of genetic material. To avoid
bias, the delegates are given a set time period of five years to work independently in whatever capacity or direction
they see fit, after which time the forum is scheduled to reconvene to compare notes.

PROJECT Δ-Ω
2
The forum reconvenes in a classified, secure location in Switzerland.
The conference lasts five months, during which time none of the
attendees are allowed to leave the premises, or make any contact
with the outside world. Their findings are deemed too hazardous
to publish. The studies are found to have scientific merit and great
potential for furthering our understanding of life, and should therefore
be continued, without any military or government interference.
It is feared the results could be weaponized or used for monetary
gain. The forum drafts a ten-page manifesto and mission statement
and adopts a new name which is meant to signify the study’s
purpose: to pursue genetic change to its limits. Project Δ-Ω is born.

THE FIRST FACILITY
A sunny day in late August marks the opening of the first official facility in the Ukrainian SSR.
IN JEOPARDY
Due to a clerical oversight, an unsanctioned large shipment of supplies arrives at the facility,
attracting attention from Ukraine’s military and environmental agencies, placing Project Δ-Ω in
jeopardy of being suspended.

CHERNOBYL
An unexpected power surge, and a subsequent spike in power output leads to the
rupture of a reactor vessel in the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, causing the worst
nuclear disaster in history to date. Hushed conspiracy theories suggest the meltdown
might not have been an accident at all. The claims are never confirmed, and the theorists
disappear without a trace some weeks later.
THE INCEPTION OF WOLFEN
The first genetically-engineered hybrid is hatched under artificial conditions. Dubbed “Wolfen”
for its unique, half human and half animal attributes, the specimen does not survive.

UNDERGROUND DEN
The Chernobyl Den officially opens for production thirteen stories beneath the site of the meltdown.
GENETIC VARIATIONS
Changes in biological and behavioral traits begin to present among the
subjects and lead to further studies into their individual genetic makeup
to identify the source of the differences, and the reason why they seem
to be absent at time of hatching.

SUBSPECIES IDENTIFIED
Medical teams identify three distinct subspecies among the subjects and document extensive notes
and statistics about them. No known cause for the differences is found. The most violent of subgroups
becomes too hazardous to remain with the general population of subjects. A separate holding wing is
built to contain them, and further experiments are ordered to better map individual DNA anomalies.
THE FIRST SUCCESS
4
The first viable hybrid specimen is hatched. Later that same year, a litter of
sixteen new specimens is successfully created and the Chernobyl Den undergoes
an extensive expansion and upgrade.

FUKUSHIMA DEN
Differences of opinion and the inability to agree on
proper operating procedure–namely the protocol
of neutralizing subjects when matured–lead to the
Japanese team members splitting off to continue
the study independently. Following established protocols,
a new den is built underneath the site of the
Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster site.
2012
A DEN OF WOLVES
Due to their underground location and the nature of experiments
being performed in them, Project Δ-Ω facilities
were codenamed “dens.” Only the original dens in Pripyat
and Fukushima were fully sanctioned and overseen by the
directory council. However, as scientists exited the project
throughout its lifetime, rumors arose of rogue, unsanctioned
dens being constructed around the world. Red pins on the
map below mark confirmed den locations. Yellow pins mark
unconfirmed, suspected locations of rogue dens.
2011
MILITARY INVOLVEMENT
Unspecified military involvement leads to the protocol being
rewritten to allow a set number of subjects to be sustained
beyond maturation if they meet certain safety and obedience
standards. The Chernobyl Den is reformed to accommodate
this change and a highly trained team of privately
funded soldiers is assigned to safeguard mature subjects.

CONTAINMENT FAILURE
The Fukushima Den convert containment units fail. All personnel and any viable specimens are evacuated back to Chernobyl Den, and the Japanese
facility is buried. Shortly thereafter, converts overwhelm Chernobyl Den. Due to a technical malfunction, the den’s self-destruct sequence never
activates. Converts breach the perimeter and surface to overwhelm Europe. The surviving team members relocate to a military facility in California
while a new Den is under construction in Montana. Outside of stable laboratory conditions, specimens mature faster than expected. Some of the
inert subjects undergo conversion and escape from the base. Military units are dispatched to eliminate them, but at least one mating pair goes unaccounted
for. To prevent further outbreaks, all remaining inerts are eliminated. Project Δ-Ω is officially dissolved.
EXTINCTION LEVEL EVENT
2016
Convert numbers have risen beyond what government agencies can conceal, or control. Humanity is
fighting and losing the war for survival. It’s only a matter of time before Grays overwhelm everything
and claim the world for themselves.

2020 (4NE)
NEW ERA
In the newly established Montana Den, private army general Ryan Bartholomew Aleissi and his men stage a coup to take over the facility. All
medical and scientific personnel are relegated to the labs, and Wolfen subjects are repurposed as defense assets and entertainment. First
sighting of a convert appears on the internet. The creature is named “Gray” by the general public and conspiracy theories arise about its
origins. This will later become known as the turning point, year 0 of a New Era.

Of all the species in the world,
none has ever been as vicious
and destructive as humanity.
Until they made Grays.

being able to regenerate from physical injuries and infections,
which could be introduced into a life form and integrated into
the body’s natural immune system, but only temporarily. His
theory was that such an adaptation could be “bred into” a species
and made part of its genetic make-up if introduced early
enough in the individual’s life cycle. It seemed Dr. Vukovich was
well on his way to curing death.

DATE: May 3, 1960
LAST NAME: Vukovich
FIRST NAME: Aleksandr M.I.: I.
RANK/TITLE: M.D., Ph.D.
DEPARTMENT: Biochemistry
CLEARANCE: Blue
Before joining the forum, Dr. Vukovich and his wife, Jana were
primarily working with pharmaceuticals, studying the effectiveness
of drugs used to treat common illnesses of the time, and
the mechanisms of drug-resistance. Their findings on virus
adaptability led to Dr. Vukovich’s involvement in Project Δ-Ω.
In an attempt to acquire the process for military use and bribe
his cooperation with the Ukrainian government, Dr. Vukovich
was awarded the rank of General in the Ukrainian army in
1974. He accepted the honor, but refused to divulge any information
regarding the classified project on moral grounds.
In early 1986, just as the project leaders were planning the
technical aspects of moving the primary facility, Dr. Vukovich
was taken prisoner by the Ukrainian government. Under severe
duress, he was recorded as making the following statement:
“Nature will always find a way.”
He later succumbed to his injuries and died at the age of 82.
He postulated, and later proved, that life could prevail under
the harshest of conditions, adapting to its environment to exploit
even the smallest advantage.
His research led to the discovery of a unique adaptation of

LAST NAME: Nejem
FIRST NAME: Rajab M.I.:
RANK/TITLE: Ph.D.
DEPARTMENT: Ecology
CLEARANCE: Green
Dr. Nejem’s field of research centered around environmentalism
and ecological balance. With the growth of oil production
and export in his home country of Saudi Arabia, Dr.
Nejem’s interest in the DNA study was fueled by concerns
about Man’s impact on the planet, and the consequences to
our continued survival.
A deeply religious man, he was decidedly against the prospect
of meddling with God’s creation of life. However, as
attempt after attempt to create a new species failed to pro-
In 1972, in a moment of divine enlightenment, Dr. Nejem
had a vision of a future no one had yet conceived of. He was
driven to document it in a fervid two-hundred page account
which earned him the mockery of his own team members,
and a subsequent ejection from Project Δ-Ω.
In his report, Dr. Nejem predicted the birth of a species
so invasive and prolifi c it would overwhelm the planet. He
spoke of the delicate balance between native species and
their environment being irreparably disrupted by the introduction
of an artificially engineered life form which we would
neither understand nor be able to contain. He predicted
the destruction of cities and civilization, endless famine, the
breakdown of communication and travel; complete and total
isolation for the surviving individuals–the concept of “divide
and conquer” on a global scale. The report concluded with a
desperate plea to suspend the study and a prayer:
Al-Rahim, waste not your mercy on us, for we are beyond redemption. Watch
instead over our children, and their children, for they are the ones who will
suffer for our sins. Our avarice paves the road for Shaytan and they will
have no defense against him. Al-Rahman, I beseech you in the name of
all innocents, but I fear this evil we are bringing forth will be so great it will
destroy you, too. Forgive us.

LAST NAME: Creedy
FIRST NAME: Belinda M.I.: K.
RANK/TITLE: MSG
DEPARTMENT: Security
CLEARANCE: Red
As the only non-scientifi c member of the forum, MSG Creedy
was commissioned for the purposes of technical logistics and
security.
In 1962, during the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Defense Intelligence
Agency confiscated all blueprints associated with the
project. When she filed a formal complaint with her commanding
officer, she was summarily dismissed and advised not to
pursue the matter further. Creedy went as far as the White
House and, after sneaking into the oval office–exposing a major
security flaw in the process–presented her suspicions of a
growing conspiracy within the highest ranks of the US Armed
Forces to the Commander in Chief himself.
Her fears were not allayed. Creedy was taken into custody for
treason. The case against her was never brought to trial. All
records of her involvement in the US Armed Forces were disappeared,
and any paper trail documenting her life were destroyed.
The last and only remaining evidence of Creedy’s existence was
a blurry photograph taken in Dallas, Texas on November 22,
1963, moments before the John F. Kennedy assassination.
After being presented with the initial research along with the
other forum members, MSG Creedy astutely came to the conclusion
that any attempt to tamper with the laws of nature
could prove to be hazardous beyond the teams’ ability to contain.
Her objective during the first five years of independent research
was to design a facility large enough to accommodate

makeup of a cell.
IDENTIFICATION No. 00263
His contribution to the project was perhaps the most notable,
in that it made the creation of new subspecies not only
plausible, but possible. However, after battling cancer for
long years, Dr. Saito died in 1973 at the age of 52, having
never seen his toils come to fruition.
DATE: May 4, 1960
LAST NAME: Saito
FIRST NAME: Akira M.I.:
RANK/TITLE: M.D.
DEPARTMENT: Genetic Research
CLEARANCE: Blue
Dr. Saito was a scientific peer to James Watson and Francis
Crick. Born in Hiroshima, Japan, Dr. Saito was an army medic
during World War II. After the bombing, having lost both his
family and his livelihood, he devoted his life to the treatment
of those affected by the tragedy.
His study into the effects of nuclear radiation on cell structure
led him to his findings on DNA, and his subsequent addition
to Project Δ-Ω. As part of his independent study, Dr.
Saito identified unique markers in the DNA strand which

WOLFEN
the novel
Man’s quest for genetic perfection has led to the creation of
Wolfen, an evolutionary step up from humanity. But it came
with unintended byproducts: the ultimate predators. Incapable
of higher thought, converts were unstoppable in their need to
breed and devour, and when they escaped, they brought the
world to its knees.

and only the heartless survive. Sinna, in the company of
two Wolfen brothers, must brave the treacherous wastelands
of North America in order to reach safety and the promise of a
better life. But when an unexpected gambit makes their paths
diverge, their greatest strengths become a liability, and the worst
monsters turn out to be the ones who don’t have claws.
In the game of survival, Wolfen were created to be champions,
but the enemy keeps evolving rendering old tactics ineffective,
and the only rule left is to survive at any cost.
