"AN EXPERIMENT 2" WAS PEAK AND ALSO IN LORE TERMS

LET ME EXPLAIN !!!!1!111!1!1!

​

• Sanford and Deimos already had their mercenary outfits long before the Project Nexus mission. Their equipment was recorded and stored by the A.A.H.W. in The Rift during the events of Madness Project Nexus games, allowing the outfits to be recovered later in the series.

​

• The dark red-goggled agents are a Nexus Core security variant used for external operations in Nevada facilities, outside Nexus City. These agents disappear in Project Nexus 2 because they were eliminated during the events of Project Nexus Classic, leaving only standard black-goggled agents alongside ATP Soldats and ATP Engineers.

​

• After Project Nexus 2, The A.A.H.W would believe Hank is dead and there is no need to redeploy Dark Crimson agents, who operated around the Nexus Core in the outskirts of Nevada, so operations continue mainly with black-goggled agents.

​

• Later, when Hank returns in MC5 and the trio becomes active again, the Auditor uses the Improbability Drive to directly convert standard black-goggled agents into Dark Crimson agents, restoring the red-goggled variant and redeploying them alongside ATP Soldats and ATP Engineers as forces that replicate the operational structure of the Nexus Core units that operated outside Nexus City.

​

• Hank’s appearance follows a continuous timeline: after Madness Combat 4, he is permanently left without a jaw due to his self-destruction event, making MC6 his direct post-MC4 state (MC6 = MC5 without mask and jacket unzipped). MC6 is not a separate identity, but his default form after MC4, while MC5 can be interpreted as the same design with a mask and a more prepared look with his jacket properly buttoned. This is because during Project Nexus, Doc gives him the MC7 outfit with the mask. After being punished for attacking Sanford and Deimos, Hank loses the MC7 outfit and returns to MC6, but keeps a masked and zipped-jacket variation influenced by MC7. This is why in MC5 he has a mask and a zipped jacket and does not look like in MC6, understanding that the MC6 form is the post-MC4 form.

​

• This interpretation supports the idea that Madness Project Nexus 1 and 2 take place between Madness Combat 4 and Madness Combat 5, connecting Hank’s post-MC4 state with his later standardized designs.
