Rainbow Six Siege: Undercover
Chapter 1
The sun shined through the windows one of the war rooms in Langley. Around the table sat men in suits. At the very end of the long table sat the director of Rainbow Six. An elite counter terrorist group home to some of the best counter terrorism operators from around the world. She went by the callsign, "Six." Six was ready to get down to business. She knew something bad was brewing if the CIA specifically asked for her presence in Langley. An older gentleman entered the room and shook Six's hand.
"Director Six. Thank you for coming today on such short notice." The old man said with a smile.
The man sat down in a chair opposite of Six.
"Six, your team's efforts in Truth or Consequences was truly remarkable. Your team's efforts prevented a world catastrophe. We are now able to start rebuilding again. I think I can say on the behalf of the entire United States, we thank you and your operatives."
"You're welcome. It's why we're here."
"Unfortunately, the thank you for your service is not the reason why I requested you here today."
"We're both busy people director so I figured as much."
"Right. I have been aware that since Article 5, your team has been pursuing the White Mask Syndicate?"
"Yes sir."
"Tell me about them."
"Honestly director, we still don't know the specifics about them. These guys can launch an attack anywhere and at any time they please. They are indiscriminate to their victims. Also, they're very well trained and organized. They've become such a threat that they're the reason why my team was reactivated."
"So, this syndicate is just roaming around the world freely praying on the innocent and we don't have a name, country of origin…."
"Pretty much. Intelligence has been working day and night trying to track these guys but haven't found a single lead. Until intelligence can start giving us specific places to look, my team stays ready to respond to any terroristic threat happening around the world."
"What are the backgrounds on your operators?"
"We're made of very mixed backgrounds and nationalities. Some have prior military experience, some in police, and some undercover. Unfortunately, there's not much on their files that isn't covered by black ink."
"I see."
The old man leaned back in his chair looking lost in thought.
"Sir, why have you called me here today? I can tell there's something you want to ask me."
"Are you aware that the White Mask are suspected to be working with the Islamic State in the Middle East?"
Six stared blankly at the director of the CIA.
"I beg your pardon?" She mustered up.
The old man leaned forward on the table.
"The White Mask Syndicate that your team is pursuing is suspected to be allying themselves with the Islamic State in the Middle East. They're attacking American soldiers and various military installations. We don't know why they've been working with them, but we need to stop them. We're losing our foot hold. We can't afford to let the Islamic State take the Middle East."
Six was surprised by the White Mask's audacity to attack the U.S. military directly. But why align themselves with the Islamic State? It made no sense.
"So, what are you proposing?"
"Send 5 operators from you team into enemy territory. They'll be working completely undercover. Collect any intel you can get on who's leading the White Masks in the Middle East and take him out. They'll be sent to Iraq. The country has erupted into a warzone again but it's worse than Operation Iraqi Freedom. White Masks have been killing our men left and right. It ends now. We have a CIA operative in Baghdad who can help them. Find the White Mask leader and take him down by any means necessary. Hopefully they'll stop attacking our soldiers and maybe we'll learn more about the group in the process."
"But why us director? These operators are important to the world's safety. I can't just sacrifice 5 of my best operators to sit and play grab ass in Iraq for however long this operation will take. You have guys that can carry out this mission for you."
"Six, as far as the world knows, your team doesn't exist. Rainbow Six is as classified as it gets. This will enable your operatives to work above all laws to do whatever means necessary to take these assholes out and save lives without all the red tape. Your team doesn't have to follow rules of engagement and the Geneva convention like the military does. They don't have to follow laws. We've tried dealing with the problem through diplomacy and military tactics. It's not working. Your team is our final option. You go in, get the job done by any means, and by any means, I mean literally do whatever the fuck you need to do to take these terrorists down, while remaining under the radar with no loose ends. Make sure no one gets caught. There's nothing we can do if, god forbid, someone gets captured or revealed. The allied forces, governments, or the enemy will not be aware of your team's presence. We want to keep it that way."
Six couldn't muster up a response. It was clear of the United State's intentions at this point in the war on terror. Do whatever means necessary to defeat the enemy; even if means breaking the law.
"I'll have my correspondents send you the marching orders. For now, go back to Hereford and assemble your team. I'll be waiting to hear from you once you're ready. You have 1 month to prepare. Dismissed."
