Episode 7: Shadows of the Past
Brief Synopsis
Jonathan tracks down the cult of demons who murdered his squad, when a former squadmate he'd thought dead shows up with cryptic information. After doing a great deal of research and reconnaisance, Jonathan takes his leave of the party, leaving behind an envelope containing his will and instructions, and the dog tags of his group. He discovers the lair of the cult in an old warehouse complex just outside the city and makes his move to infiltrate it, sending video and audiotaped survaillence to both the gang and the Initiative. Unfortunately, for Jonathan, the enemy has far greater numbers than he. He's overcome and finds himself face to face with the man who sold out his party, and the answers to his questions are more painful than the questions themselves. John was sold out by his staff sargeant, who was like a father to him, but who has now undergone the Adam treatment. At the Sargeant's side is a vampire possessing a gem of Amarra. Fortunately for John, the cavalry arrives in the nick of time to save his sorry butt in the form of the Initiative, who take down the Adamized Sargeant and return to John his true identity along with an honorable discharge from the organization.
