I know what I'm asking for here is mostly irrelevant background info
but I'm just so insatiably curious by nature that I couldn't stop myself.

How different was the Hidden War in NXE from the one in the games anyway
(apart from the fact that it probably didn't end in X-COM sending guys to
Mars that is ,and that they didn't have that underwater stuff later on)?

Did the Black Mesa incident take place in the NXE universe , and if so ,
will we be seeing Dr.Freeman ?

Rei is an angel right ? That means she's immortal ,right ?
What about Jon ? Does his 'heritage' give him a similar
fringe benifit ?

Not different enough to matter. Second Impact happened, and pretty much ended the war, before the Cydonia mission could be launched.

>Did the Black Mesa incident take place in the NXE universe

Never decided; probably not relevant.

>Rei is an angel right ? That means she's immortal ,right ?

One would suspect so, but given what happened to her, one can't be certain.

>What about Jon ? Does his 'heritage' give him a similar

That would be telling.

My assumption would be that she enjoys roughly the same mortality level as Jon or the Ayanamis / Ellisons, who seem to be pretty much mortal. The only way to be certain is to shoot her and take a trip up to heaven, and if she's not then you'd feel rather foolish. ;>

And if she is, she'll want a word with you, and that word will not be, "Thanks."

I imagine it wouldn't be. ;>

Well, it's not as though I was suggesting it as a positive course of action. Somewhat akin to tossing DJ in a cage with a feral lion and a pencil sharpener to see if he's the Eternal Soldier.

What I meant by immortality was whether her physical body could die of old age .
