Anton Gersh

This page is for the Russian scientist Gersch, if you are looking for the black hole bomb, go to Gersch Device Gersch is a Russian scientist that was the leader of the projects at the Ascension base. He oversaw the Thundergun project, and worked jointly with Yuri Kravcheski on the Gersch Device (a.k.a. Project Mercury) until he transferred him to rocket research. During Yuri's mental breakdown, Gersch noted Yuri's increased aggression to the other scientists, as well as the fact he was muttering to himself. He then confronted Yuri working on the Gersch Device, and threatened to have him permanently removed. Yuri, (at this point basically brain-washed by Samantha Maxis), tricked Gersch into activating the Device, which sucked him into the Black Hole, while releasing the Zombies onto the Cosmodrome. He is thought to be dead, but in fact, he may be the Russian that you are able to save by activating the Kassimir Mechanism. This is supported by a quote from Richtofen, "Goodbye Gersch! It would have been nice to meet you!"
