Before the Zulu Alpha
Shane Handon and Pope were part of a special mission unit in the middle east, during the terror wars. Mostly support, intel and task force. They were almost out every night on capture-or-kill missions. One night they were sent to a town that Handon was skeptical about having any viable information. One thing led to another, and they ended up in a firefight and they ended up killing everyone in the building. Handon always had an unwavering view on the enemy; no humanity behind the face, just an enemy, and nothing else. Handon went against orders and talked to some of the grieving mothers and family members. This had caused a crack in Handon's view on the conditioning he worked himself into.

During the Fall
Handon was just coming back from the aborted North Korea mission and was on the phone with Bragg for a status update, with gunshots in the background he was told that the 101st Airborne was being mobilized to secure the borders.
