Fourteen years after Emergence Day, Chaps was working at his station when Franklin Tsoko contacted him and said two Gears were on their way to pick up Laverne. Chaps didn't think they would make it, so he didn't activate the pumps. When Sgt. Marcus Fenix and Pvt. Dominic Santiago arrived, they were angered to discover the APC was not gassed up. They activated the pumps and took some ammo, but the gas station then came under attack by the Locust. The two Gears and Chaps fled the station and left in Laverne, but a Boomer destroyed the station when it shot the fuel pumps with a Boomshot after getting run down by Laverne.
