Background (8)

Dive into the 'Background (8)' mission in Rainbow Six Mobile. Learn about the import-export firm, chemical nerve agents, and the intel that leads Rainbow to Brazil. Prepare for tough enemies.

Alright, let's talk about the 'Background (8)' mission in Rainbow Six Mobile. This one's a bit of a deep dive into what Rainbow's been up against. We've got intel pointing to an import-export firm in Porto Alegre, Brazil, that's allegedly holding components for a chemical nerve agent. This isn't just a random hunch; it's backed up by confessions from terrorists we nabbed on Cayman Brac. Your job? Raid that warehouse and secure all the chemical agents you can find.

John Clark fills us in on the bigger picture. Apparently, Rainbow's been doing a lot of work in the Western Hemisphere lately, so much so that there's talk of stationing you out at Langley for a bit. But before that, there's this new assignment. It all started when a U.S. Coast Guard cutter intercepted a freighter headed for Savannah. They found a decent amount of cocaine, about twenty crates of assault weapons, and a whole lot of neo-fascist propaganda. The ship's manifest led them to that import-export firm in Porto Alegre, which, coincidentally, is the same company some of the prisoners from Cayman Brac mentioned. The Brazilian government got involved and started surveillance on the firm. What they found was eye-opening: footage of guns and drugs going in and out, but also what look like chemical weapons containers marked in Russian. Even though this isn't technically Rainbow's jurisdiction, Clark pulled some strings to get you the assignment. It seems connected to what you've already been dealing with, so it's worth pursuing.

Kevin Sweeney chimes in with more intel, referencing your good work in Argentina. Intel believes the folks who hit that meat-packing plant in the last mission were actually trying to destroy forty years' worth of financial records. It's weird they didn't just burn the place down, but they were really focused on getting rid of those records. The good news is, they missed the backups. Those backups are now being analyzed, and it's becoming clear that the packing plant was just a front for a lot of other shady activities. As for the import-export firm, the surveillance footage shows them moving serious gear, including high-end weaponry. So, expect them to be armed with more than just basic AK-47s. The intel on the shipping containers is still being translated, but the initial reports confirm your worst fears: it's the ingredients for VX nerve gas. Just so you know, VX is a nasty nerve agent that binds to your neurotransmitters, blocking them. It doesn't matter if you touch it or inhale it; the result is a quick, agonizing death, and even a tiny amount is lethal. Plus, it sticks around forever and contaminates almost any surface. If your neurotransmitters get blocked, nerve impulses can't travel to and from your central nervous system, leading to paralysis and, well, death. We're talking about a substance where one teaspoon can kill up to a thousand people, so you absolutely have to be careful.
