Syphon Filter 3

Story

Gabriel Logan, Lawrence Mujari and Lian Xing stand in front of Teresa Lipan's grave. Meanwhile, Secretary of State Vincent Hadden cancels an operation to capture the protagonists and declares that he has other plans for Logan and wants to accuse him at the congressional hearings. In the first flashback, two weeks before the hearing, Logan is dropped off by Xing at the Hotel Fukushima in Tokyo to assassinate a renegade Chinese general Shi Hao by disrupting his interrogation of a JRA member. JRA members invade the hotel and take the Chinese ambassador's daughter hostage. Logan fights his way out and rescues the hostage. He learns that a congressional hearing has been scheduled. Logan recounts his operation with Xing and Benton in Costa Rica in 1999, which took place before the Washington incident (the events seen in the first game). They went to meet Ellis, but found him executed. Logan seizes samples of the plants and destroys Rhoemer's helicopter while Xing investigates what Rhoemer's group was growing. Logan pursues Rhoemer and defies Benton's order to regroup. Logan obtains a jeep and tracks Rhoemer to his plane. Logan manages to board the plane, but does not have to kill the pilot to keep the plane in the air, and shoots Rhoemer (who is wearing the same armor as Jason Chance), causing him to fall out of the back of the cargo hold; however, Rhoemer parachutes to safety. The next testimony comes from Mujari. He explains how he first came into contact with the Agency and the Syphon Filter virus. In 1984, he was working with the African National Council in Mpumalanga, South Africa, to free enslaved Africans under apartheid. Mujari enters a series of mining tunnels to find that his rescue efforts were in vain; all the slaves are dead. He keeps the South African samples. Lipan, who works for the agency, comes to his lab, sees the samples, and asks Mujari to work on the virus for Pharcom. When it is Xing's turn, she describes events in Kabul, Afghanistan, during the Soviet conflict in 1987, as well as her side of the operation in Costa Rica. In the first flashback, she is an MSS agent gathering evidence of Soviet troop movements led by Uri Gregorov. She is ambushed by the Soviets, but is rescued by Logan, a U.S. Army Ranger. Logan informs Xing of his mission to deliver weapons to the local rebels, and Xing agrees to distract him. In the final flashback, Xing finds out that Rhoemer has kidnapped a large number of world-renowned scientists and medical technicians to work in his labs. Benton orders Lian to rescue the scientists to find out what the plants were used for. She is also assigned to collect a sample of the virus, obtain data disks and destroy computers containing the data. During the mission, it turns out that Elsa Weissinger is one of Rhoemer's lab technicians. It also turns out that the plants are necessary for the production of the Syphon Filter virus. While others testify, Logan and an MI-6 team led by Margeret Powers track one of the last shipments of the Syphon filter virus to Dublin, Ireland. Logan plants explosives on the ship, the S.S. Lorelei, and secures the manifest. They are attacked by the IRA, which learns of the agency's plans to offload the virus containers. It turns out that they have already unloaded several truckloads of the virus while the bombs were being placed on the ship. Logan and the team prevent the trucks from leaving the area and take out a double agent. After his mission in Ireland, Logan testifies about his role in Afghanistan in 1987, learning how he and Ellis were recruited into the Agency. Logan, Ellis and Benton are the only survivors of a destroyed supply convoy. When they arrive in Kabul, the convoy's route is temporarily unguarded due to Xing's distraction, except for a tank guarding the city square. Gabe destroys the tank with a C-4 explosive device and reveals to Hadden that Benton's contact is not an Afghan rebel but a Soviet agent. Benton does not work for the CIA, but for the agency that supplies weapons to the Soviets. However, Benton kills the Soviet agent and orders the protagonists to give the weapons to the rebels. Logan's information leads Xing and Powers to the Tanami Desert in Australia, where Weissenger is in charge of the medical part of the operation. Xing's plan is to kidnap Weissenger, gather photographic evidence of the genocide, sabotage the terrorist group, and rescue the soon-to-be-executed Aborigines. After the kidnapping, Xing forces Weissenger to synthesize the vaccine. Before she leaves to rescue the villagers, Weissenger gives Xing information about Mara Aramov as an insurance policy in case Aramov double-crosses her. Weissenger leaves when Xing returns to the helicopter. Hadden accuses Logan of killing Lipan, but Teresa herself appears and reveals that she faked her death. She testifies about her first day as an AT
