"I see t-them, and they can see me..."

- American Recruit Joey Condenado, Dec. 14th, 1973. Joey Condenado was an 19 Y/O College student and was amongst the last to be drafted into the American army in Late January 1973, 3 weeks after the Soviets bombed the east coast. This gave birth to the legend where the American War Machine was still pumping troops despite it's head being cut off. However this is due to the fact that effects of the bombs didn't reach the west side of the US until almost 2 months later. Condenado later joined with a bunch of other American survivors and traveled in a small warband. This was part of his final moments before he is killed by The Others and his corpse was consumed.

"Freedom came with a price. It's cost is a thousand years of this..."

Vlad Ivanovich Kerensky, Russian exile in Germany, May 1973 

Vlad is a 70 year old Siberian man who fought for the White Russians in 1921 to 1923 before escaping to the US and later to Western Germany after WW2 to help assist building the country. He never knew love. Fate is ironic, as he later fell in love with a Eastern German Prostitute in 1946, whom fled from Soviet controlled Germany, and they married in 1947. Their son, Peter, born in 1949, fought in WW3 as German Resistance forces before the bombs dropped. However, fate is cruel when Peter, along with his family, was killed in early 1973 by radiation, after escaping from the flashes that consumed entire cities. The former Father, Vlad, was the only survivor of his family. His bloodline doomed to die. And these were his words to a local merchant deep in BUNKER GER-15. (BUNKER, First 3 digits of the country, and Bunker #). Both East and West Germany had a total of 33 bunkers, East Germany built upon West Germany's #s of Bunkers (West Germany #1-23, East Germany #24-33) in a last sign they still wished to be united.
