Quick notes

Nomad is the player’s viewpoint inside Raptor Team. Nomad enters the Lingshan mission as part of a trained squad, but much of the campaign separates him from direct support.
Prophet and Psycho have different roles. Prophet leads Raptor Team and becomes central to the alien mystery.
The Rosenthal expedition connects the military and alien stories. Helena Rosenthal’s research and the excavation explain why the islands matter beyond a conventional military clash.
The carrier introduces a wider command response. Admiral Morrison and the carrier personnel represent the larger military effort to contain the crisis.
