Chase: Alright, Player. We'll fill you in on our mission in Somalia. First time Carmen pinged our radar. It was October 3, '93, we were a joint ACME-CIA, embedded within the Rangers' 3rd Battalion of B-Company near Mogadishu. CIA was there to sniff out Carmen's activity. Word had it her operatives were active in the region.
Jules: Carmen has no known presence in Somalia.
Chase: That changed at Mogadishu. Somehow, Carmen knew about Operation Gothic Serpent.
Cole: Gothic Serpent? That one sure went sideways. Agent 13's still alive back then.
Chase: We were launch out of Baledogle Airfield.
Cole: Yeah. That place's lot of memories.
Jules: Good, we want those details. No detail's too small, a face, a name. We're looking for anything that can lead us to Carmen.
Cole: This feels like looking for a needle in a haystack. In a field of haystacks.
Chase: Maybe. But that needle's somewhere. Remember, we had a job to do.
Cole: Gothic Serpent? Agent 13's still alive back then...
Chase is seen waking up Agent 13 in a dormitory.
Chase: Hey! Time to wake up. It's go time.
Chase exited the dormitory. Agent 13 got up and grabbed an M16A1.
Date: Oct. 13, 1993 - 1020 Hrs
Somalia
Agent 13 goes to join Chase.
Chase: Welcome to Somalia. A big oasis county in the middle of this godforsaken hellhole. You're pretty safe here.
Agent 13 walks past a couple of Rangers soldiers talking with each other.
Rangers: Damn it! I need a cooler drink here!
A soldier is seen handing tools to another soldier fixing a Humvee. Chase greets the soldier handing the tools.
Chase: Hey, soldier! How's the Humvee?
Ranger (Pvt. Starr): Still rusty but at least it can still function!
Agent 13 and Chase exited the camp and headed to the landing zone where a group of UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters were stationed. Cole was seen sitting in one of the helicopters, reading a historical book.
Chase: Hey, Cole! You know reading that book's gonna make you a nerd.
Adler grabs the book and puts it back to Cole.
Cole: Yup! That's why I want it all up here.
Chase: Agent 13, you're with Cole. You usually bring out the best in each other.
Agent 13 boards the helicopter.
Chase: We've got a new mission. The Salaviaa Hotel is housing a valuable asset and the hostages that the militia want really bad.
Cole: What kind of asset are we talking about?
Chase: The kind you don't ask about. Bravo Team has been taking a hell of a beating, so it's our job to secure the asset, get those hostages alive, and get out. Relax. We have fast fliers providing CAS for this mission. It'll be a walk in the park.
Agent 13 moved up to where the pilots were seated, and the helicopter started up. Agent 13 put on their headset.
Baledogle Commander: All birds check in when you're ready.
Helicopters lift off as Fortunate Son by CCR plays in the background.
Hunter 9-1: Hunter Niner-One good to go.
Hunter 9-2: Hunter Niner-Two clear to go.
Hunter 9-3: Hunter Niner-Three rotors up.
Baledogle Commander: All birds, go go go. Crank up and pull pitch. All birds are in the air.
Agent 13 sits down.
Chase: You sitting comfortably?
Cole: Aww, c'mon! Why do I get the feeling you're about to give us some bad news?
Chase: Because you're a smart guy, Gannon. But the news isn't bad. In fact it could be very, very good. The asset at Bravo is gonna have to wait a little while. We're breaking off from the armada. Taking a detour.
Cole: And that's good because?
Chase: A source tipped us off that there may be a heavy hitter from town, a female operative known as Carmen Sandiego.
Agent 13 blocks the sun from getting in their eyes.
Cole: Oh, that woman always slips away from me.
Chase: I appreciate your enthusiasm, son. If our source is right, we could be looking at an intelligence gold mine.
Screen goes white with Carmen's voice echoing.
Carmen: ACME is lying to you. You can't catch me...
Two helicopters with the callsigns Hunter Niner-One and Hunter Niner-Two are seen flying to a village. Bell is seen holding onto one of the miniguns.
Hunter 9-1: Approaching the city now.
Hunter 9-2: Roger that, moving to establish an HLZ.
Chase: RPG!
RPGs were fired at U.S. helicopters as they approached the city.
Chase: Light 'em up, boys!
The group opened fire on the Somali militia in the city.
Cole: There, in the café!
More militia appear on the rooftops.
Chase: More RPGs on the rooftop!
Hunter 9-2: Hold on, swinging around!
Agent 13 takes down more enemy soldiers.
Cole:Yeah! Blow these suckers to kingdom come!
Hunter 9-2: Visual on HLZ. Taking us down.
The helicopter lands on the ground.
Cole: We can do this, 13. Let's go.
Agent 13 and Cole step out of the helicopter, while Chase stays on board. Cole quickly takes out two Somali militiamen, and the two continue to engage the militia in the town to locate the intel.
Cole: You sure about this? The streets aren't exactly empty!
Chase (on radio): Your priority is securing any intel.
Cole and 13 eliminate the Somali soldiers near them.
Chase (on radio): Our source eyeballed the VILE/Carmen's operatives at the Salaviaa Hotel in the center of Mogadishu.
Cole: Let's go, 13! You're on point!
Agent 13 enters a building and takes out two militiamen and heads up to the second floor.
Chase (on radio): You're getting close.
Chase spots the hotel and sees a lot of Somali soldiers defending it.
Chase (on radio): Cole. 13. That's the hotel! Keep your heads down, we'll take care these bastards.
Chase gets on the helicopter's minigun to support the duo and guns down the remaining Somali militia.
Chase (on radio): All clear. Get inside, see what we got.
Cole: Agent 13, you take point! I'll cover your back!
Agent 13 enters the building and clears out the Somali militia and the two head upstairs. They engage Carmen's henchmen and the militia.
Cole:You're done.
Agent 13 heads to a hotel entrance door. A echoing voice can be heard.
Carmen: (echo) Do not trust them...
American voices can be heard behind the entrance.
Cole: You hear that? Open the door.
Agent 13 kicked the door open and threw a flashbang. Cole fought with a Carmen's operative and bashed him to death with his M4 Carbine. Another operative grabbed his rifle and was ready to shoot, but Cole shot him first.
Cole: Agent Chase, We confirmed it. Carmen was here.
Chase: You sure?
Cole: Well, I'm looking at two bodies that sure as hell don't look Somali to me. Besides, there are no hostages here. Agent 13, grab that disk. Let's see what we can find out here.
Agent 13 grabs a disk and hands it over to Cole.
Cole: Agent Chase, we've got the intel.
Chase: Copy that. Hang on to that intel. We're coming to pick you up.
Agent 13 and Cole exit the room.
Chase: Alright. Let's go rejoin the armada and get this asset.
The two defeat three Somali soldiers as they are leaving the building. Hunter Niner-One goes on a strafing run and takes out the Somali reinforcements approaching.
Cole: Go! Back to the bird!
Hunter Niner-One is seen landing after taking out the Somali militia. Bravo Team leader contacts the group on radio.
Bravo Actual: This is Bravo 1-1. We are still under heavy fire. The militia are breaching the perimeter. What is your status?
Chase: We're inbound now, actual. Get that asset ready for transfer.
Bravo Actual: Roger that, Niner-One. We'll keep the asset safe long as we can. Bravo out.
Agent 13 and Cole get in the helicopter and the helicopter takes off as they head to Bravo team's position.
Hunter 9-1: Hunter Niner-One in the air.
Chase:The Militia are all over the buildings. Watch out for the civilians!
Militiamen on their outposts started firing at the helicopter.
Cole: Tear 'em up, 13!
Agent 13 target the huts and the buildings explode.
Cole: Good shooting, 13.
The UAV operator radios the group that a enemy armored vehicle is approaching them.
Eagle 2-6: Hunter Niner-One this is Eagle Two-Six. We have confirmed visual on an enemy armored vehicle heading your way.
A Russian BTR-80 appears and starts firing.
Cole: Hey, since when did the Militia get their hands on any Russian hardware!?
Chase: They don't. Carmen treats them. Take down that BTR!
Agent 13 returns fire at the BTR and continues shooting at it.
Chase: Come on, 13! Stay on it!
The BTR eventually destroyed.
Cole: That's how you take down the Russian armor!
Chase: Yeah, you got it! The fact that she sent that BTR after us tells you how screwed up she is that we snagged the intel.
Hunter 9-1: Bravo, we'll approach your position ETA twenty seconds out.
Chase: Bravo, this is Hunter Niner-One. We're on final approach.
Bravo Actual: Roger that, Niner-One. Our position is still hot, so watch yourselves.
Somali soldiers hiding in roadside trenches fired RPGs at them.
Bravo Actual: We'll do what we can to clear an LZ and get the asset ready for transfer.
Chase: Roger that, Bravo.
Cole: Watch the roadside! Enemies are dug in!
Agent 13 returns fire on the Somali militia in roadside trenches and defeats them. As they move on, they encounter a Somali outpost where enemy soldiers open fire on the group.
Chase: Multiple urban targets!
Agent 13 picks off the Somali soldiers while Cole spots a Somali road convoy of technicals.
Cole: Somali convoy on the road.
Chase: Take out those technicals. Every one of them brought the supplies to arm the enemy!
Agent 13 shoots the technicals. Bravo Team leader radios the group.
Bravo Actual: Hunter Niner-One, this is Bravo. You need to push back the militia reinforcements before we're being overwhelmed!
The crash site is seen under attack as multiple U.S. Humvees provide fire support to the U.S. soldiers on the ground.
Bravo Actual: Be advised, we have multiple friendly Humvees on the ground; watch your fire.
Groups of Somali militia with RPGs and groups of techical trucks are seen shooting at the Humvees.
Cole: Somali cavalry inbound!
Chase: We don't have a hope of landing unless we take out the cavalry.
Agent 13 returns fire and destroys the technicals.
Cole: Keep it up!
Bravo Actual: Scout reports indicate a significant enemy force approaching from the south of our current position! Moving to intercept!
Two Somali convoys were seen being escorted by technicals on the opposite side of the city from where the crash site was located.
Chase: Take out those techicals!
Agent 13 shoots the technical truck, causing the rest of the convoy to explode.
Bravo Actual: Hunter Niner-One, they're breaching our perimeter! We can't hold them off for much longer!
Chase: Hold on, Bravo. We're on our way!
A Somali convoy supported by armored vehicles is seen approaching Bravo's position.
Cole: Hit that armor!
Agent 13 destroys the armor and the Somali convoy. The militia stop firing and are seen retreating.
Cole: They're scared senseless!
Bravo Actual: Hunter Niner-One, you are clear to land.
Hunter 9-1: Copy that, Bravo. Hunter Niner-One setting down.
Hunter Niner-One lands down on the LZ.
Bravo Actual:(on radio)The site is still hot, so watch yourselves.
Chase: Roger that, Bravo.
Members of Bravo Team, including two Rangers carrying a warhead, are seen heading towards them.
Bravo 1-2 (Sgt. Maxwell): You Devineaux, ACME agent?
Chase: Yeah, I am. Just hurry up already!
Bravo 1-3 (Pvt. Lowenthal): Yes, sir. Thank you.
The Rangers passed the warhead to Chase aboard the helicopter.
Chase: Don't thank me. Thank Agents Cole and 13. They're the ones who just snagged us a disk full of Carmen's intel.
Cole opened his bag and checked to ensure the disk was still secure.
Bravo 1-4 (Lt. Sambueza): Godspeed, agent.
Chase: Let's get out of here. We're RTB!
Cole secures the warhead.
Cole: A nuclear warhead? Are you kidding me?
Chase: It's a failsafe, that's all you need to know.
Cole: Are we that desperate already?
Chase: Not yet, son.
Hunter Niner-One leaves the site with two other helicopters escorting it. A RPG is seen being fired; it hits the helicopter, causing the aircraft to lose control and ram Hunter Niner-One. The pilot sees the helicopter coming.
Hunter 9-1: RPGs!!!!
Hunter Niner-One loses control of the helicopter. A door gunner is seen falling out of the helicopter. Cole and Agent 13 try to help him.
Cole: I GOT YOU!!!!
The door gunner falls out of the helicopter to his death. Agent 13 grabs Cole, who is also falling out, and manages to save him.
Hunter 9-1: Mayday, mayday! We're going down!
An explosion in the rotor kills Hunter 9-1's co-pilot. The helicopter crashes to the ground at Mogadishu Intersection. A white screen appears.
Agent 13 wakes up in the helicopter wreckage, which is emitting electricity, and a small fire starts. Chase and Cole also wake up.
Chase: Cole! 13! You okay?
Cole: We're okay.
A bullet hits the pilot in the head and bullets are seen firing at the group.
Chase: Damn!
Chase pulled out his M9A1 and shot the angry Somalis charging at them.
Chase: Agent 13, fire that turret before we're overrun!
Agent 13 fires the minigun turret at the Somalis charging at them with AK-47s. Agent 13 cuts their seatbelt after firing all the ammunition. The others free themselves.
Cole: We need air support!
Chase hands Agent 13 a strobe tracker to signal a airstrike.
Chase: 13! Call it in!
Agent 13 gets out of the helicopter and throws the strobe tracker.
Chase:Grab a weapon! Keep them off us!
Agent 13 grabs an M249 off the ground. Chase and Cole carry the warhead out of the wreckage and place it behind a destroyed BTR. Bell and the others shoot at the rampaging Somalis approaching them.
Chase: Where is that air support?
A U.S. AC-130 aircraft is seen flying overhead as it fires and misses the target location.
Chase: Did they miss us?
The Somali militia fire RPGs at them.
Chase: RPG! Wait a minute!
Chase hears the sounds of fighter jets in the area.
Chase: Here it comes!
A RPG blast knocks Agent 13 backwards and white screen appears. Agent 13 wakes up.
Cole: Agent 13!
Two fighter jets drop napalm bombs and Somali militia are seen being burned alive. Chase grabs Agent 13 and pulls them near the destroyed car to avoid getting burned by the napalm. After the detonation, Chase checks to make sure there are no more Somalis in the area and decides to speak to Cole.
Cole: You think we can call this a success?
Chase: At least the warhead didn't go off. And more importantly, we got intel on Carmen.
Screen goes black and Chase's voice narrates.
Chase (present day): We've secured the disk as evidence and the warhead's still intact. I need you to find her and stop the madness, Player.
