*'''[[Adam | *'''[[Adam (civilian)|Adam]]''' - Adam is a male civilian, possibly a child due to the fact of a mother heard asking where her son Adam is. He is near a terminal. He is only seen when the player activates a control panel that opens up a door to a tower. He runs out and goes toward Cargo Ship Two. If the player can manage to escort him to the ship without him dying, they will unlock the "[[The Real Winner]]" Achievement. This is difficult as if he gets shot once, he dies. | ||
