Windy's private security arm PHALANX has suffered a serious security breach at it's prison. An unidentified individual (PHALANX are not saying who) attacked the prison killing fifteen PHALANX guards, and released Caratore from his cell.
Von Kane was also released after he attacked and severely injured a senior PHALANX interrogator. It is not thought Von Kane was part of the Caratore conspiracy but took advantage of the situation.
