The Threat
The NSA's Third Echelon initiative uses classical espionage methods with leading-edge technology to gather intelligence in hostile territories. This top-secret program responds to the growing use of sophisticated digital encryption to conceal national security threats.
When critical intelligence cannot be obtained by traditional means, Third Echelon conducts physical operations. Its existence is denied by the U.S. government. Third Echelon deploys Splinter Cells: elite intelligence-gathering forces consisting of a lone field operative supported by a remote team.
In 2006, the U.S. installed a temporary military base on East Timor to train its defense force. Resistance to the U.S. military presence in Southeast Asia was widespread, but the threat from Indonesian militias justified it. The U.S. also gained an active military presence near North Korea and Asia's largest Muslim population.
Anti-U.S. resentment escalated under guerrilla leader Suhadi Sadono, with unofficial support from corrupt Indonesian government factions. Suhadi's men attacked and occupied the U.S. Embassy in Jakarta, taking dozens of civilian and military personnel hostage.
You are Sam Fisher. Your mission is not to rescue hostages, but to destroy top-secret documentation in the embassy before Suhadi's men access it.
About Stealth Action
Sam's ability to operate covertly is his most valuable asset. The visibility meter on Sam's OPSAT indicates stealth. If it's completely to the left, Sam is invisible; if completely to the right, he's in critical danger of detection. Remaining under the cover of shadows is an important tactic.
