Operation Trinity #
Operation Trinity marked the end of the cult of Mantra. The operation was ordered by Victor Carmine, wanting the research about Project Kingslayer for himself. At the time, Carmine is the head of Arc/Hive, a powerful company in the DTC.
Background #
The operation was publicly focused on the Trinity, for their knowledge of the cult’s research. Carmine was also interested in the gifted children and Strassman’s daughter Angel. He had been looking for insider information since 2015, when he also sent in his daughter under the alias Medea. While Medea ends up falling in love with Skys and cutting contact with Victor temporarily, she eventually reveals the secrets of the cults hoping to protect her baby. Medea had a chip implanted when she arrived, which has allowed Arc/Hive to keep track of her the whole time she was there.
She eventually meets her end in the music video for MANTRA (song), which is later confirmed by both the journalist and Carmine himself in a reconstructed interview.
Dallus writes his journal shortly after Operation Trinity. Strassman was keeping his relationship with Ava a secret from Skys, because he was told that she was off-limits. In the diary we find out that Ava is now dead, while his child Angel is written off as missing and presumed dead. Unbeleevable Episode 4 later sets the record straight: Angel survived the operation and was taken in by Arc/Hive, alongside the other gifted children the company pulled out of Novosovia. Dallus himself had better luck: his wife Elena went into childbirth during Operation Trinity, birthing the healthy Lyra in the safety of Arc/Hive’s labs. His son Ikaro Lauren also escaped unharmed and is already showing promising signs for a career in robotics.
The diary also reveals that Karl Strassman and Dallus now reside in New Elysium. He admits they’ve been placed in a beautiful community, but wishes they were not separated from their families. On behalf of Arc/Hive, Dallus will start working on the MOXYPAKS (air purification devices) and the SYNTH project.
Shortly after Operation Trinity, Project D.U.S.T. is proposed by Dr. Elias Mortem as a continuation of Project Kingslayer.
