** Everything about Dr. Carter's abduction. The aliens knew in advance that Vaughn would go out of his way to rescue her--which he does. So they planted a homing device on her so she'd unintentionally lead them to the resistance's central base, which they immediately attack.

''C-12: Final Resistance'' is a post-apocalyptic third-person shooter created by SCE Studio Cambridge, released on the UsefulNotes/PlayStation in 2001.
Years have passed after aliens invaded earth to harvest its carbon resources and destroy humanity. Facing extinction, humanity has formed a resistance to fight off the alien threat. Lieutenant Riley Vaughn, a cybernetic soldier, is sent out into the field to deal with aliens and rescue soldiers in need along with his partners Colonel Grisham and Dr. Carter, before it's too late.
