Why were the HECU marines ordered to kill all the scientists on the spot? Wouldn’t it be easier to tell them they were being “rescued”, gather them into one area for “quarantine” and am for a comprehensive headcount, then execute all of them?Īnd for that matter, why were they ordered to kill the scientists in the first place? They were already working at a top secret facility and already knew about Xen and aliens and whatnot.
