The Callisto Protocol Plot Synopsis
Jacob Lee and Max Barrow are freight transporters who are boarded by a fugitive, Dani. When the ship crashes-land on Jupiter’s moon, Callisto, Max is killed on impact and Jacob finds himself thrown into the bowels of Black Iron Prison. ..
Jacob wakes up to find the place he was sleeping in on the brink of collapse. He has to try and escape before the monsters come and kill him. ..
What is happening in Black Iron Prison?
Jacob’s latest attempt to win Dani over is fruitless. Dani is adamant that Jacob brought bioweapons onto the planet, but she only finds medical supplies in the cargo hold. Jacob has been trying to get Dani to trust him, but she’s not convinced.
The pair soon wander through Callisto’s original colony, built underneath what is now Black Iron Prison. The UJC exterminated the entire colony and covered up what was going on. Arcas miners had accidentally unearthed a dead alien creature with thousands of larvae inside it. ..
The UJC decided to harvest this larvae and experiment on humans, which ultimately caused the outbreak on Callisto and at Black Iron Prison.
What’s happening to Dani?
Captain Ferris ambushes Dani and Jacob after exploring the depths of the prison. Although Jacob manages to stop the mutated Captain, scrambling into an elevator in the process, Ferris manages to infect Dani with the biophage, setting up a ticking timebomb of disastrous proportions. Jacob is on a tight window and forced to try and find an antidote before it’s too late. ..
Jacob is trying to enter Black Iron Prison, but he is unfortunately knocked out and thrown back in his original cell by the security robots. ..
How does Jacob escape his cell?
Dr. Caitlyn Mahler has taken Dani to her secret lab, deep in the heart of the prison, to help her cure Dani’s infection and get him the Warden, Duncan Cole. Mahler has taken Dani to her secret lab because she knows how to insert the Black Iron chips into Jacob and Dani originally.
Dani and Ferris are the only people who can save Dani. Jacob has been keeping her secrets from her all this time, and it’s time to finally tell her the truth. Dani provides Jacob with access to her memories, which brings up the real truth over what Jacob has kept concealed all this time.
What is Jacob’s secret?
Jacob’s new neural link has allowed him to learn that Dani’s sister was killed in the Europa outbreak, and he was instrumental in this occurring. It turns out the UJC was using his ship to smuggle alien larva samples all this time. Jacob became aware of this but decided to stay quiet, driven by greed given the payments he was receiving.
What is The Callisto Protocol?
Jacob finally catches up to the Warden, who tells him that the Callisto Protocol was an experiment to recreate the original Alpha. Duncan is the one who ordered a second outbreak to occur in the prison, similar to that with Arcas. He wanted to find a subject compatible with the alien infection, his “Alpha” as it were. And Duncan Cole appears to have found that in Captain Ferris.
Jacob comes out victorious in a fight with Warden’s new Alpha. He extracts the DNA he needs and Dani shows up to fire several bullets at Duncan but unfortunately they phase straight through. He’s a hologram.
Jacob decides to use the antidote on Dani, curing her in the process. Angered by this betrayal, Duncan activates the prison’s self-destruct countdown and claims that he has enough data to carry out the Callisto Protocol again, disappearing from view.
How does The Callisto Protocol end?
Jacob and Dani race to the prison’s escape pods, but they’re dismayed to learn there’s only one left. Jacob puts Dani in along with an alien larva sample, giving her everything she needs to expose the UJC’s experiments and stop this from happening again. ..
Jacob stays behind in Black Iron Prison and fights his way through waves of infected creatures. All hope looks lost until Dr. Mahler contacts him again. She’s temporarily stopped the self-destruct sequence and claims they have a means of escape but need to work together. However, her hologram is cut off by Ferris, who’s seemingly still alive in his pre-Alpha form, attacking Jacob.
The Callisto Protocol is a new game that is set in the future and revolves around the idea of using technology to control the weather. Players are able to use weather machines to create storms, floods, and other disasters that can impact their opponents. The game is played on a map that is constantly changing, making it difficult for players to predict where their opponent will be next.
