The Illuminati would give the Greys a research base 3 miles below the surface of Area 51, the use of the base as a landing site, and give them test subjects where they, along with human scientists, would research a to use in a war on their homeworld. In return the Greys would give the Illuminati exclusive access to Grey technology.

The Illuminati used some of this technology to on the population. The Greys and the human scientists eventually developed a powerful alien being - known as the 'Theta', which spread the. Unbeknownst to many of the scientists working on the project, the Greys and the Illuminati were also planning to use the virus against the Earth population and dominate the planet. Winston Cray found out about the plan, he let loose the 'Theta' and the mutagenic virus throughout Area 51, in an effort to slow them down. This prompted the to send in a led by Major Bridges to quarantine and contain the virus.

He lands by the 'White Mailbox' area and watches Area 51 being destroyed by the exploding ship in a tornado like explosion. Cole watches as a truck drives past, with a green, alien-like container on board with unknown contents inside and walks away from the site. He reflects upon his original purpose at Area 51 and recognizes that while he and Hazmat Team Bravo had failed, their sacrifices may have saved mankind.
