| 25th May, 1990 | Peter runs to the Threshold after he shot Mark. He points the gun at the researchers inside the outpost before making his way through the lower offices of the Async research facility. A security team tried to catch him, but are unsuccessful as Peter makes it to the freight elevator and gets above-ground and runs in the direction of the hillside and presumably dies to falling on a large rock.[13] |
