Trudy Esile

**Trudy Elena Esile** is one of the two protagonists of *Apocalypse Archived*. A member of the **OCA**, Trudy was born on April 15, 1963 to parents Margaret Keaton and Daniel Esile. At the age of 15, her mother passed, and her father followed a year later. Her older brother, Chris, who was 19 at the time of her father's passing, invited Trudy to live at his home until she was financially and mentally stable to move out on her own. One night, on February 16, 1985, Trudy wakes up from her sleep hearing loud noises and bright light flashing through her bedroom window. She leaves her home to investigate, and sees that the noises and lights are coming from the military base a few miles from her home. She then sees a truck driving down the road heading toward it. Trudy asked about their identities, and they stated they were apart of a rebellious militia hellbent on finding and cracking the secrets of the government. Trudy immediately got interested. Chris followed her as she was about to leave and handed her a handgun and warned her to be safe.

### **Infiltration of Fort Romero**

On February 19, 1985, 3 days after she was accepted into the OCA as a rookie agent, the lieutenant, who is second in command of Deuth's OCA unit, announced that, Deuth's OCA squad, along with Caliente, Lorange, and Iraen's squads, will be attempting to infiltrate the military base, Fort Romero, the one from a few days ago, with about 2 thousand agents in an attempt to seize the base and uncover the secrets. Captain Rhyland, one of the most prominent figures of the OCA, was alongside Ronald, and lead Lorange, Caliente, and Iraen's squads and partially led Deuth's as well with Ronald's assistance. Rhyland directed two rookie soldiers Mackey and Trudy to scout and sneak through the hangars and eliminate ambushing soldiers before the group encounters them to decrease the number of casualties. At around hangar 5, Mackey is wounded and taken to the infirmary. She is then placed with a rookie Assault agent named **Yander**, whom she continues to venture through the hangars with. Yander is killed by a ricochet bullet in Hangar 8, leaving Trudy on her own. Trudy, afraid of being alone and confronting more enemies, uses the assault rifle she received from Yander shortly before his death to blend in with the assault classes. After the OCA, with just 400 soldiers left stable to fight, seizes control over every last hangar except for the one where the noises and lights are coming from, they use Trudy to look through a window and gain intel. One agent who was lifting her up pushed her too high and hit the window, causing the scientists to notice and immediately begin evacuating the hangar and taking their research with them. The OCA barely fails to uncover the secret, and the agent who ruined the mission is murdered by Captain Rhyland. The OCA did manage to seize control of Fort Romero, thus only beginning the fight to uncover the mysteries.
