History WMG / AlphaProtocol

In the event that she "rescued" you in the medical bay, she got a little SomeoneToRememberHimBY from Micheal. 9 months and several years later and the combined Badass of both parents will shake the world.
* Wonder if this should be in NightmareFuel instead...

Taking advantage of Alpha Protocol's method of being replaced when compromised and star a new top secret intelligence agency within the US Government. While no characters will return (at least named), but never contradict AP's story.

** No no, G22 is the modern face of the [[AssassinsCreed Assassin Order.]]

Leland learned of the existence of Alpha Protocol from [[spoiler:Marburg]] and then used a unspecified government connection to get in contact with it. Senator Darcy's son is an Alpha Protocol agent. Sean Darcy describes his father as "selling himself out" to become president. In one of the endings, [[spoiler:Senator Darcy profits from Halbech's schemes by using Madison's death to get an extreme security bill passed.]] And in any ending where [[spoiler:Alpha Protocol is exposed]], he uses it to score political points. Furthermore, [[spoiler:if Albatross is your handler when you kill Sean Darcy, he says that his father might cause problems.]] My guess is that a sequel would have seen Senator Darcy become a PresidentEvil seeking vengeance against Mike.

** Personally, I reckon she's his younger sister. I mean... ''Sis'' as a code name? Lots of places and people abbreviate sister to sis. There'd be quite a big age gap, but it would kind of fit with the locket story, if they were siblings who shared a background and experiences he doesn't want to go into, by virtue of having been older at the time and understanding more about it.

* Far less awesome then him being the Malkavian from Bloodlines, but he could also be a [[MageTheAscension Marauder]]. it would explain his super-powered fighting style and the fact that he can pull off all the totally crazy stuff he does.

Which goes a long way to explaining how they know ''everything'' about ''everyone''. The warehouse in Taipei was actually run by a different cell of G22, and they didn't realize who they were helping Mike go after until partway through the mission, and notified Albatross.

He's a ''[[VampireTheMasquerade Malkavian]]''. Would certainly explain his... personality quirks. And his fighting prowess. And his vast knowledge of secrets both real and imaginary.

[[WMG: SecuritySift is run by a cell of G22]]

* And bang, SpiritualSequel with the same gameplay and a spy named Michael.

** Steven Heck is what would happen if Thorton went insane due to all the things he has to deal with and has happened to him - completely crazy, but CrazyAwesome.

Many of the major named [=NPCs=] in the game are meant to reflect possible fates for Michael Thorton. Mina is Michael Thorton's original hope for the future before Alpha Protocol; the loyal US government operative, squeaky-clean yet still able to get their hands dirty to get the mission done. Albatross is a Michael Thorton yet to come, one who doesn't let the continued betrayal and disappointment of the espionage world wear down his ability to still have ethics and find his own causes to fight for. Marburg is the Michael Thorton who lets himself get worn down into an unfeeling, lethal automaton, a pawn of whoever will use him, a collection of skills without a soul to animate it. Scarlet is a Michael Thorton who goes the Marburg route but with more self-respect, a freelance operative that works strictly for the money but picks and chooses her own life and her own allies. SIE is a Michael Thorton who gives up on planning for the future as he accepts that he has no future, just unrestrained forward momentum charging from firefight to firefight, living only for the moment and enjoying the rush, a life of nonstop motion until it all suddenly stops with a final bullet in the head. Leland is... hell, the game explicitly spells it out with the ending where [[spoiler:you can choose to work for Leland, then betray him, then replace him and become him]]. And Steven Heck is... well, he's Steven Heck.

** It's interesting to note that both Albatross and Marburg are Michael Thorton, 20 years from now. Albatross is who Michael will turn into if he doesn't let the espionage world's continued disappointment and betrayal wear away his ability to still believe in ethics, and Marburg is who Michael will turn into if he does.
