Alpha Protocol

Alpha Protocol describes the collection of writings about the events after the Zeta Swap.

Events during the Zeta Swap
As the Zeta Swap took place, Molly, Dave, Judas and Nancy were present in the building. Though Molly and Dave were unconscious and Nancy in a critical state due to the EMP, Judas was alive, albeit hurt. After bandaging his wound, he was contacted by "God" (really the new Zeta in disguise), and tasked with transporting Dave and Molly into his vehicle, in order to save Nancy's life. Judas loaded the three into his car and drove to the mayor's mansion, where he killed the guards and then the mayor. He placed Molly and Dave in the bed and then drove Nancy to the hospital, where was placed in a healing pod. Afterwards, Judas returned home to think about the strange events of the night.

Immediate aftermath
With Dave Soul being proclaimed the new mayor, he started attending to his duties with the sham government, who despise him. Molly lost her purpose in fighting against the state, and seeks to fulfill herself with ever more dangerous activities, culminating in a drunk russian roulette game, which she survives. Dave refuses to tell her the truth of what happened, and so she decides to leave him. Molly travels through the sick suburbs and helps a family fend off bandits. She decides to help the people by convincing Dave to deploy robots and medicine to the dying population. When she tries to reenter the city, however, her clearance is denied.

Meanwhile, Dave fears for Molly's life, but Zeta persuades him with the knowledge that she would have killed herself if she stayed one more second there. Paradoxically, the more information you have on a target, the more difficult it becomes to predict them, and so Molly is classified as an unpredictable danger. Dave struggles to find his own purpose, as Zeta's decisions take more and more precedence over his.

Nancy awakens and finds that her connection with Zeta is gone. She is cared for by Judas, who is chosen as Dave's bodyguard. Dave is convinced by Zeta to let her stay as his secretary.
