During TheStinger for Point Man's ending, Fettel claims that he "will continue", and invites Point Man/the player to do the same. What did he mean by that?

Where the hell was Aristide during the third game? Personally, I probably would have done a favor if she could have died for all the crap she put the team of the second game in.

Here's a minor one: in the Vivendi expansions for the first game, you can see several bloody graffiti symbols made of stacked triangles, which have a strong resemblance to the [[TheLegendOfZelda Triforce]]. According to the timeline, Alma couldn't have played even the first game, far from it. So, why exactly are they there?

* How the heck did Alma allow herself to have another child in the first place? It's pretty obvious from the first game that being treated like little more than a baby-maker and then being thrown away like nothing unbelievably traumatized her... But maybe she didn't. She didn't become pregnant at the hands of Becket, her child was a second attempt for ATC to create a psychic commander like Paxton Fettel. When the synchronicity event occured when Fettel was young, they killed Alma while she was in stasis, when her body was adult-sized, and her own hatred kept her, and her unborn third child, alive all those years. When she was first released, she was only one month or so along, and 20-something years old. Becket wasn't chosen by Aristide to give Alma a child, it was to give that thild a surrogate father.

** Actually, she does. Remember that just because Alma was "comatose" it doesn't mean that she wasn't ''aware'', and she ''was'' fully aware of what they were doing to her. The first Synchronicity Event was happening while she was supposed to be unconscious, after all. Mentally, she may be a child, but she physically is an adult and is aware of this to some degree. When she gets released, you are seeing Alma herself being released, emaciated corpse and all.

The notion of a corporation working on a military contract for many years before delivering it is not unusual, and that's with proven technology like aircraft. A government contract to deliver psychic weaponry, which is a new field altogether, would take even longer simply because the technology is new.

** First, Jin never speculated that whatever was inside the Auburn facility was chemical. Betters was suggesting it ''in passing'' because he was reading vague ATC reports that the Auburn facility was shut down due to an industrial accident, ''and'' that he had also been reading reports from Bill Moody and Alice Wade about possible chemical contamination coming from that facility tainting the water around Auburn. And again, the very first step to dealing with this sort of thing is to investigate mundane causes before moving on to extraordinary ones. The ATC experts investigating the situation were concerned about chemical leaks; that alone gives Betters reason enough to at least suspect chemical-related problems until he has more information. The moment he knows more about Auburn and what's really going on, he drops that and shifts to investigating the psychic end.

And yes, in fear 2, they attempt to create a new psychic commander through project harbringer, but Beckett was the only use of that project, and there were about 10 to 20 years between stopping producing psychics through Alma and the creation of Beckett, while all the while new replicants were created.

What exactly was the reason (in that continuity) why the fear sergeant looked so much like the point-man? We know Alma had only two kids, and the fact that he is a sergeant suggests he got into F.E.A.R. a lot earlier than the point-man.

** The only problem there is, at least according to the voicemails in the first game, she didn't know, or care, about what was in the vault, she wanted to open it up and re-purpose it. Granted she is cold, but that's a bit much. I kind of suspected the music box, and the rest were her trying to figure out how to get rid of Alma. She blows off the plan to kill her because she's already dead.

*** Alma's one moment of happiness in life was giving birth to Fettel and Pointman. She had strong maternal instincts. That's why she raped Beckett, because she wanted a child. As for why Becket, I guess a strong psychic ability is attractive to someone that is essentially a psychic ghost. As for the body thing, is it really that unreasonable to imagine her willing a physical body into being with her immense psychic power?
