(The Aftermath of the Black Mesa Incident)
THE PRE-WAR PERIOD:
Andre Grew up sometime during the 1990's In Dubuque Iowa in their youth during the mid 90's he spent most of his time working in his uncle's garage working to develop valuable trade skills for when he graduated to join the United States Marine corps as a Combat Engineer however, Unfortunately or perhaps fortunately for him, The seven hour war occurred preventing him from realizing his dream. However Andre along with his cousin's and a few other relatives during the portal storms incidents shortly after began occurring following the black mesa incident decided that with a global alien invasion from xen on their front door step, Now was the time to throw on their BDU's and play hero as they'd joined up with local militia's called up by the US Government as per EMS Broadcast's armed with Semi-automatic rifles and patriotism they did their best to assist the military The best they could.
AFTERMATH:
Following the chaos of the war Andre found himself alone, Being sent from city to city until 2015 where He'd been sent to City 20 And joined the Civil Industrial union as a worker and Met Amaya Sato his later to be wife. Shortly after arriving and being hired Andre was fired under the falsely stated pretense he'd stolen a crowbar later revealed to be an error of communication brought upon by the Local administration within C20's CWU Bureaucracy. Later leaving alongside Amaya the two married and lived in District 47 for a time until the "Incident" Occurred. Andre had managed to find work within the city under the CWU, Reluctantly taking up the position of shop worker, Vowing once his internship had expired to never work the nightmare that was retail again. Within a few weeks Andre was brought into the CRU And participated in various Xen infestation removal operations up until the Incident occurred before gleefully opting to finally have the chance to defend his family he'd created and his newly found home Alongside his co-workers and spouse Andre fought for weeks in the collapsing Situation that became of D47 until it had finally fallen.
PRESENT DAY: 2017-
Andre had been initially transferred to C24 Following the event's of D47 Alongside his then wife only to end up being abandoned by her and having lost his job and now currently is trying to manage with the stress of having recognized next to no-one from his former life and the disillusion that the Union had lied about the "Paradise" that C24 Would be in actuality. Faced with the reality of having no other option in the matter with escaping or joining alongside resistance forces being essentially a non-existent nor preferred option, Andre is struggling with having to finally submit to authority. (Civil Protection, And Civil Authority). A harsh reality of abandonment envelops him as he tries to rebuild and make the best of his current situation. Update: Following a long and harsh few weeks of living within C24, Life had proved incredibly difficult for Andre as he struggled greatly to try and move on from his past this obstacle became more that of a boulder then a simple bump in the road, As past feelings of discontent towards individuals came to a boil He'd found it nearly Impossible to find a working job or re-integrate into Civilian life and quickly lost his apartment becoming homeless, With no other place to turn and fearing that he was nearing amputation He decided to give life one last shot. Enlisting into the Arteria Arm's 103rd Antlion Battalion as a volunteer as a chance for either one final shot at glory and redemption or in-order to gain one more chance at a life robbed from him, As the weeks grew on It became very very clear that City Two would become a suicide Mission, A fate Andre was not willing to accept given how far he'd come...And so, Seeing an opportunity it was with a heavy heart that he defected whilst on a "Trial" Leave in plaza, Sprinting to parts unknown and successfully evading Civil Protection It's unknown aside from a few unverified visual accounts from Citizens that claimed to "See a man in fatigues running around Indigent and the slums." However this is an unconfirmed rumor at this point and it appears Civil Protection has lost interest in him....for now.

Entry #1
Dear to whom it may concern, This is a Diary entry of, PRIVATE FIRST-CLASS, Andre Jackson 17/10/18. Now known colloquially or amongst some groups as "Snow" or Just "A-J". It's been almost two weeks since my escape, I've experienced a myriad of adventures in my time of freedom, However now I suspect given some unsuspected actions which occurred under no meaning of malice on my part however after having done some terrible things recently experiencing love again And feeling as if though I'd finally found somewhere I belonged it was to be short-lived as on this day, Shortly after awaking from my slumber I noticed my partner was missing, Upon noticing this I'd been hastily grabbed by those supposedly whom were my "Comrades" They pointed guns at me tied me Like Civil Protection would and decided to take me into another room at gun-point and claimed to have the body of a former close friend in a bag, When I opened it another friend I'd helped fight off suicidal urges gave him purpose and some old clothing as he'd lost it, Drew a gun on me alongside my other comrades, Framed for something I didn't facilitate or do, Using my CQC Skills I performed a round-house kick to his hand knocking the weapon out. Shortly after It was grabbed by Kirin who later handed it to me, Thinking it was either booby trapped or empty I checked the magazine to find it absent, I spoke briefly with Kirin In Japanese and he had told me he was allowing me to live, However the mental fuckery didn't end there as the group of people "Noriko" and "Tinker" "Alec" would try and convince me they'd murdered the one woman I cared for still and who'd stuck by me relatively up until this point. Threatened and after witnessing Them aim guns previously and whispering presumably about myself, I decided now would be a time to plot, Another escape. However a man named "Viking" who led me to a cavern, The very place which I write this entry now. I don't know if I'm going to be murdered by this crew of criminals. Or what the case will be. I just hope things resolve peacefully and I manage to avoid the wrath of these violent psychopaths such as Chau. I'm unsure how much time I've left given the recent course of developments, I only hope all the time and sacrifices and the suffering weren't for nothing...
Entry #2
]11/14/21 I've recently had it brought to my attention from some of my men that a riot broke out the other night would definitely explain the tremors causing the ceiling to shake, And the gunfire that filled the air, From what I've gathered this is by far the closest we've come to District-47....Apparently that jackass Casto was trying to turn the people against me, Funny how history some how always seems to repeat itself albeit slightly differently I hope many didn't lose their lives in the fuckery that ensued, People, Soldiers being used and discarded by the state is what we fight to prevent now Having been in those rubber reinforced combat boots before on the other end of the barrel used for politicians who don't care for you...so they can use you for political gain truly disgusting.
Entry #3
11/15/21- I had another nightmare...I'm tempted to burn that god forsaken suit....I swear it's cursed, I'll never forget the sudden rush...the flow of information as it filled my mind...filled me with rage and fear as the years of memory suppression had been undone seemingly in seconds...I was there again The lawlessness the chaos the gunfire...the never ending exchange of gunfire and explosions And for awhile I was genuinely in C17 District 47...It was September 20th 2015 all over again the crunch of glass under me and the charred corpses lined the roads as I ran to find Amaya the ashes began coating my CBRN boots before I was suddenly consumed by them. And then it happened as soon as I was covered with ashes they came from below the ground they came for me like the undead the antlions....however they weren't alone this time, I grew angry and using the bayonet I screamed so hard my lungs hurt in anger and charged the foul beast's I could hear the squelch and the sound of my knife tearing into the alien insect except when I'd gazed down to confirm....it was gone, My rifle was gone...I awoke, And froze standing and noticing my hands bloodied and bruised as I'd been attacking a couch. Thankfully my Partner was there to comfort me as this happened. I can't remember much more but what stuck with me was the state of the Hospital, I'll never forget charging in there with the 47th Flame throwers ready as we burnt the dying husk of a building and the resistance's remaining chance at in-city medical resupply to a crisp It was on me...the suit had changed my personality...it was as if wearing it I wasn't susceptible to gunfire....And acted this of my own volition..
[Entry #4]
11/24/17 - Been a long while since I last wrote, Things are just a little better now, Unfortunately we lost Sherpa recently...That makes, About three total now, None of my boys thankfully. With the STALKER back in action with us the boys have been doing well, I think Coleman would be proud of my efforts not to toot my own horn too much...Snowy's been well also glad I've still got her, Gotta be careful who I talk about in these and "What" I speak of, But for once I've actually got a decent feeling about things, Morale is high and our logistics is finally stabilizing. Smith's started hammering out propaganda posters based on a few Idea's I've thrown his way...guys got a real fuckin' talent too Hope we can change some opinions soon just Gotta wait a lil longer, Hear my boys are doing well in London Hope we can all see Christmas hardly able to keep track of time and hours anymore...Can't tell if its night or day sometimes.
Character Relations
Loved|Respected | Liked | Neutral | Disliked | Hated | Feared|Deceased
"Civil Protection" Cowards who abandoned us in our time of need only to be revered as heroes by the masses all-though like every story there are diamonds in the rough. Being back in boots has made me understand some things. None the less they can all die just as we can hopefully they'll learn to fear when they patrol once agian.
VICTOR-RL - Nice fellow despite being bound by whatever malarkey that sky robot voice tells you to you're still friendly.
DEFENDER-4 - Truly an exemplary officer an example of what all unit's should strive to be.
UNION-4 "Boots" - Nice guy, Great conversationalist usually unless cut off by dispatch probably a decent co-worker, Wouldn't know. All the best.
VICTOR-6 "Boot". -Don't know what you're fucking deal is but you really need to piss off god damn man It's all starting to come together now....
JURY-4 - Not sure whether you do it genuinely out of care and kindness in your heart or if you just sympathize for us, But thank you...they don't feed us nearly enough and anything you guys bring through helps everyone.
"Seven" So long and thanks for the free food you were a largely contributing factor for my escape.
"Citizens" Red" Nell Riller- You were a great friend and an amazing person, I guess things were really hard for you the past few weeks Aswell, I'll Miss you more then anything Nell, But I Promise your sacrifice won't go un-avenged...
"Bernie" Bernard- Been hearing some 'things' Bernard Hope they aren't true.
"Blake Kestina" You've got a lot to learn if you're going to survive in the jungle, I hope deep down inside you understand why I am the way I am with you Blake...
Yuri Sato -Reminds me of Amaya, Mainly in name but still a nice girl not much to say, We're neighbors former co-workers.
"Peyton" (Betta fish) The goodest boy who ever swam!
"Jason" Alright guy good to see you again.
" Loyalists " I can get trying to just...Live through the Illusion and make the best of it, But the upper castes genuinely disturb me with their cult-like demeanor like those weird cult's we saw pop up in the 90's but some of them are just honest people trying to live and I can respect that not everyone wants war. If there's one thing the Arteria has taught me it's that alot of these "Loyalists" Are worse off then the fucking rebels in some cases, Disgusting how they use the Human arm's of Overwatch forces as if they're maids or "The Help" in some cases they're quite possibly the devil in disguise.
O'Hair's'- Decent people with commendable dreams for the future.
Hawking's- Got told your name originally was "Mike Hawk" Didn't expect it to be true, I'm so sorry. Oddly forgettable guy, Then agian I don't really spend a whole lot of time with you, So it's not your fault, Gotta say I don't feel really anyway for or against you.
"Erika" - A woman after my heart, She gave me cinnamon toast, Now that's a woman who I'd marry, Really sad story, Lovely woman however.
"Marcus Froster"- I cannot quite put my finger on it, But I swear I know you from somewhere...
Mrs Ferret- Nice lady, Its a damn shame I never got to meet you again.
"Resistance" Saved my life....Don't really know what to say....I can't believe I actually did it...Heart's still racing, Nice to be somewhere where I'm not seen as expendable, Finally seen as a Human being rather then some kind of tool...Is the saying goes, "If you can't beat em, Join em." Unfortunately, As I'd previously feared the leadership is once agian an issue rearing its ugly head....With nowhere left to turn..The future looks bleak.
White Dove movement- Ruined my life destroyed my marriage and made me lose my job. Thanks, Really appreciate it. However, I've heard some interesting echo's of you lately, I wonder what the future will hold for the Legendary White Doves...?
Artists??? - Truly talented individuals.
Jessika Brixton- God bless you...I owe you the sun and the moon.....Saved my life from the clutches of oppression. Still a solid woman, Despite what they say.

Carter rest in peace?
Walker: When I first met you, I feared you, However I'll do my best to ensure you're treated fairly.
Snowy- Beautiful and you treat me incredibly well, I'm not fully sure why...But I love you, You remind me a lot of my Amaya and how she used to treat me. Definably a keeper, On track to being my second wife.
Rogue- Can't believe they manage to knab a cop and we get a recruit...rest in peace pal.
"Pete" Wonder where you ran off to or if you succumbed to the assault. Wherever you are may god guide you in whichever path you find yourself.
Angel- Can't full get a beat on what you are, Need more time...
"Rod"- Not a bad fellow afterall.
Overwatch - You fuckers all bleed and die the same as anyone else, When the playing field levels you'll get a taste. Same as the CP's big talk until the Opposing side has equipment too then they're cowards.
Xenians - Stupid and unpredictable but fuck if they don't taste good barbecued and grilled.
"Arteria Arm" Here I go again hopefully not on my own, I didn't think I'd have the gull to go again, If I'm being honest I'm scared...I'm fucking scared of what "Could" happen....I got lucky before....maybe god will watch over me again and I'll make it out of this...Things might be better, I must say however, I haven't been as happy as I am now for At least since the time I served in the restoration Union, It's good to feel like I finally have purpose again, I only hope some of these guy's make it out alongside me. I'm shocked with the training...though overly pleased. Hopefully I can get through this and come home to Daphne Alive in one piece, If I do survive this, I'm going to do everything I can to make sure these guys don't get screwed over by the Civil Administration the way we Liquidators did.
"Vlad" - You poor son of a bitch. I hope you and Greek are resting well in the afterlife, Know you've been avenged.

Carl Berg - Rude old man.
"Johnson" -Bit of a dork, Seems to struggle a lot but I'm sure once she gets the hang of thing's she'll be good in whatever she's thrown at.
"George" It's a shame you didn't run with us George, I wish you luck, I'll pray for your safe return. Keep your head down. We'll see each other some-day.
Nominal "Sayaheed" -Truly a kind woman at heart, I really appreciate what you've done for me and hope to see you on the outside.
Commissar- An overzealous asshole, Really needs to get laid or smoke a joint you ask me, Like christ. There's taking pride in your work and there's being a robot...
Drill Sergeant Coleman- Heard he's a former Marine, Nice to be in good hands, Funny guy too, Definitely fits the bill you'd see in the movies heh. But fuck if his yelling doesn't catch me off guard.
Angelo- Fucking weirdo keeps trying to jump in my bunk and cuddle me..... Maybe Conrad was right about that guy, Then agian who cares what conrad thinks.
Vortigaunts - I used to dislike and distrust you for what you did to our people but through what I've seen you're just as trapped as us Pitted against one another for the benefit of an intergalactic empire you really don't deserve to be treated the way you are. On the other hand as much as I dislike the combine, You'll eventually surpass us, Which would be disgraceful. I Certainly don't care for your "Elders" they've gotten a lot of fucking nerve....
Fabu- We had our differences but you were a decent Vort, Shine on brother, Shine on..
