Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow

by Erenthal

Part 1: Mission 1 - Embassy






The situation: A group of Indonesian militants calling themselves the "Darah Dan Doa", angry about U.S military presence in East Timor, have violently seized the U.S embassy in Dili, taking several of the staff hostage.

The mission: Acting fast before the situation gets worse, Fisher must enter the embassy to extract vital information from Douglas Shetland, a military contractor, before the militants get it from him.

Mission 1 - Embassy (Viddler/Polsy)

The subs might be slightly harder to read the first few minutes due to the tutorial pop-ups. It's only for this level though. If alot of you find it really hard to read them, I'll see what I can do to redo it.

Notes:

On November 28th, 1975, East Timor declared independence from Portugal. Indonesian forces invaded nine days later and declared it their own, renaming it Timor Timur. Records are sketchy, but up to a quarter of a million Timorese civilians were killed over the next two decades in a "Campaign of Pacification," often with the covert support of U.S. intelligence. In the late nineties, U.S. intelligence withdrew support for Indonesian actions against the Timorese, and in August of 1999, supervised by the UN, the Timorese voted for independence from Indonesia. East Timor was born a democracy in May of 2002.

I like Dermot, but I sometimes think Lambert wants smash him. He's too enthusiastic for his own good, and I worry that he might be a dork trying to pass for a geek. Scary smart. [Author: Grimsdottir]

Notes:

Looks like a pretty standard CIA desk monkey, with the exception of an incredible knack for languages. Security footage from the embassy shows her remarkably cool under fire. It looks like Sadono has separated her from the other hostages.

Ashad's suggestion has worried me. Again: nothing is as important in this Thursday's work as discretion. No evidence. No loose ends. You have been paid, you are professionals. Failure will be met with punishment. Punishment will extend to family.
