Meyer

{{QuoteSource|First I'm gonna wring his neck, then I'm gonna shoot him, then I'm gonna kick his ass right off this rooftop.|John Dalton|Unreal 2]] Dr. Meyer was a scientist at the Polaris research base on Janus. Meyer was researching two Artifacts when Izanagi mercenaries discovered the facility and raided it in an effort to steal them. The mercenaries captured Meyer and tortured him while John Dalton arrived at the facility, fought his way inside, and eventually rescued Meyer in a showy entrance from a ceiling vent.

{{QuoteSource|Open the goddamn door!|Meyer, to a Kai|Unreal 2}} After a brief conversation with Dalton, Meyer agreed to hand over the artifacts after a successful escape from the facility. Meyer eventually sweet-talked his way into the locked room where the artifacts were being guarded by a Kai and recovered the artifacts, which he carried for insurance. Dalton attempted to lead Meyer out of the facility at the time, clearing the remaining Ghost Warriors inside.

{{QuoteSource|Bad news. The Liandri landed and blew up the bridge. There went your yellow brick road.|Aida|Unreal 2}} The enemy-free status of the facility did not last long. Liandri Angels were sent to the facility in a second attempt to acquire the artifacts, cutting off the escape of Meyer and Dalton. Meyer realized an old, unjammable transmitter was located on the roof of the facility, and joined Dalton on the lift to the top after impatiently waiting for the outside of the building to be cleared of Liandri Angels.

Luckily, Aida had sent in a squadron of marines to assist Meyer and Dalton. Meyer knew the transmitter would take time to repair, deploy, and tune, so he allowed the soldiers present to establish a secure perimeter before beginning his work. After several waves of Angels and much back-and-forth between Meyer and Dalton, a connection was finally established with the TCA Atlantis which proceeded to land and escort Dalton and the artifacts.

{{QuoteSource|Orders from Drexler say to terminate all surviving non-military personnel. Your orders are clear. He knows too much to fall into enemy hands.|Aida|Unreal 2}} Luckily for Meyer, Dalton felt a sudden wave of compassion and spared the scientist by faking a signal breakup. Meyer gave up the artifacts in exchange for his safe passage out of the base and was taken to the planet Vistula aboard the Atlantis.
