Their resolve to do so is demonstrated in the non-canon ending of The East Wind, when both the device and research facility falls into the hands of CTRG Group 14 Captain Scott Miller. Its existence is a closely guarded secret, and the CSAT alliance will go to extreme lengths to prevent the device(s) from falling into enemy hands. Its exact date of origin is not known, though due to the brief tremors experienced during the events of the Prologue, it is possible that it was already halfway or close to completion more than year prior to The East Wind. Eastwind disassembled, assembled and also loaded onto the rear flatbed of a Tempest truck.
