Deniable Ops: The Hunt for Megiddo - OOC Thread.

[Teal]

Story

Three years after the attempted terrorist attack in Nashville, the USA wasn’t managing to find peace at all. Corrupted elements infiltrated deep in USA’s primary defense assets had secretly waged a war, an event now known as the Third Echelon crisis. Thanks to the skills and commitment of the many American patriots, the crisis didn’t last for long, and President Caldwell had finally shut down the now rogue agency and maintained a bit of peace in the damned country. Or so it seemed.

Using intelligence gathered from one of 3E’s finest operatives, Caldwell had managed to reveal a conspiracy, a threat willing to remove her from the equation and put USA under their reign., a threat only known as Megiddo. Waiting wasn’t a luxury she could afford, so she realized it’s time she made her move first.

The dispersion of Third Echelon was celebrated with the creation of it’s successor, The Fourth Echelon sometimes in the early 2012. The Fourth Echelon’s main priority differed from the priority it’s previous predecessors carried. Due to the significant advance of technology USA had developed, information gathering was no longer done by human individuals but rather by drones. Eliminating the threat, however, was a task unmanned machines weren’t able to carry out. That’s where Fourth Echelon came in. Since the agency managed to finish all of their tasked mandates, Caldwell was certain they were ready to face the Megiddo and possibly destroy it once and for all.

Organizations

Third Echelon [commonly abbreviated as 3E]

Created in 2003. Was a sub-branch within the many intelligence branches of the National Security Agency. Third Echelon’s primary foundation was gathering of covert information through physical infiltration. It’s most infamous asset was the Splinter Cell program. The Splinter Cell program used to recruit and train individuals, mainly those with a rather violent background, and turn them into the perfect spies, able to sneak into sensitive grounds, gather important information and yet remain invisible. Third Echelon and the Splinter Cell program used to be Americas strongest point in the information warfare, up until it’s destruction in 2011.

Ворон/Voron [roughly translated as Raven]

A shadow unit within the SVR (Sluzhba Vneshney Razvedki – translated as Foreign Intelligence Service), Voron operatives often cooperated with Splinter Cells when Russia’s economic interests were at stake. However, it was revealed that the Russian-American political relationship grew so much Voron was even present in operations that didn’t have a political nature, mainly backing up 3E operatives. Voron’s main function is corporate theft, sabotage and talent extraction. To this very day, Voron still provides support for the newly-created Fourth Echelon.


Fourth Echelon [commonly abbreviated as 4E]

A recently created blacker-than-black unit replacing Third Echelon. Some months after it’s creation, Fourth Echelon proved usefulness in the field, finishing it’s tasked mandate to take down rogue Third Echelon units. The Commanding officer of this unit is former-Splinter Cell Sam Fisher, one of the crucial elements which helped the prevention of the President’s assassination and aided in the display of Megiddo. The unit’s main function is dealing with terrorist threats inside and outside the US soil.

Megiddo

Other than being the initiator of the Third Echelon crisis, not much is known about this organization. It remains highly clandestine with only a handful of people being aware of it’s existence, one of them being Patricia Caldwell. Their plan was to assassinate the President and have her replaced with former vice president Calvin Samson in order to protect their interests within the country. Known member of this organization are former vice president Calvin Samson, former Third Echelon director Thomas Reed and White Box CEO Lucius Galliard.Thomas Reed was killed by Sam Fisher in the Oval Office, Lucius Galliard was killed by a Megiddo assassin after being subjected to interrogation while former vice president Samson was put into custody. Megiddo also seems to operate in other foreign countries including China and Russia.

Uniforms

Due to the unit being relatively new, the suits that were used once back when Third Echelon was still active have found extensive use among Fourth Echelon operatives. Although both units are supposed to create a joint force, they're still going to use different operational suits.

Fourth Echelon - Tactical Suits

Third Echelon's Mark 7 Special Ops Suit, mostly known as 3E Eclipse, is a suit used by Third Echelon's top operatives when conducting covert operations in hostile areas. Voron operatives are not permitted to wear this suit.

Third Echelon's Elite Special Ops Suit, abbreviated as 3E Elite is a suit used by Third Echelon operatives. The suit serves for both; covert and assault operations. Voron operatives are not permitted to wear this suit.

Third Echelon's Enhanced Special Ops Suit, mostly known as 3E Shadow Armor is a suit used by Third Echelon operatives. Just like the 3E Eclipse, the suit serves primarily for covert operations. Voron operatives are not permitted to wear this suit.

Voron - Tactical Suits

Voron's SV1 Special Ops suit, commonly known as VR SV1 Akula. A standard issue suit used by Voron operatives for covert operations. Fourth Echelon agents are not permitted to wear this.

Voron's SV7 Rapid Response suit, better known as VR Zvezda is a suit used by Voron operatives mainly for assault operations. Fourth Echelon operatives are not permitted to wear this.

Voron's Special Ops Suit, also known as VR Akali is a suit used by Voron field operatives. It was first used to track terrorists in Caucasus. Fourth Echelon operatives are not permitted to wear this.

I like that we are gonna take a semi-realistic. So no one goes Rambo.
I hope it's also about things between missions too.

[Teal]

@ShowdownVD, you might want to fix his background. As you might have noticed, your character should be one with military experience or had a career at Third Echelon. I plead you to pay attention at the letters in the CS sections. It'll help you set up a character. Other than that, I am reserving you a spot.

@benjaminrk, I am not quite sure what you mean with 'things in between missions'. If you want, I can reserve you a spot though.

Also, if you want to make a suggestion, then please feel free. I am trying to make this RP kind of unique, so fresh ideas are always appreciate.

[ShowdownVD]

He does have experience... he used the military's program to help him through college. He was a scout sniper and a field operative. He then owned a big company that was targeted by the Phantoms and he helped the government take them down and that was when he was approached by 4E. I pulled it straight out of one of my books and changed the ending. I just didnt specify a branch of the military or anything.

[Teal]

Oh, I didn't see that. Well, you still must write the date and place of birth.

[benjaminrk]

Name: Natalie Ravenholm
Gender: Female.
Callsign: Agent Raven
Age: 27
Appearance:
Background: Natalie was born into a military family on 2. august 1984 in Boston. Because her dad wanted a boy she always did her very best to act like one, until she was old enough to serve. The 5 years she spend serving in a Bomb squad in the worst hell hole on earth, had actually been easy compared to what she had trained for her whole life. With her perfect score and zero casualties, she had thought she would move up to the sergeant position opening up. But instead she was contacted by men in suits with a much higher authority than the generals that had barked at her.
The training she had to undergo in the 4E was harder than anything she had faced before, and the knowledge required was more than anyone had ever asked of her. But now Natalie has not only passed with flying colors, but is among the top 20 operatives in the history of the secret intelligence. Though some think it's a bit premature Natalie has been selected to operate as a Splinter Cell in the hunt for Megiddo. With little experience, but abundance of flawless scores, appointing her has been a bold move. Whether it pays off only time will tell...
Weapons of Choice: MP-446, SC3000
Favorite Suit: 3E Eclipse

[ShowdownVD]

Edited. And yes, all but the background is 100% true. Its real info on me

[Teal]

Nice one. I love how you included the SC30K as one of her favorite weapons. That means you have played Splinter Cell and know something about it. You got your spot.

And Showdown, this actually takes place in the early 2012.

[benjaminrk]

What I meant was just that I hope that things are also happening between missions. It can be anything really, I just want a nice change of pace or something.
