Background (7)

Dive into the 'Background (7)' mission for Rainbow Six Mobile. Learn about the hostage situation in Argentina, Nikola Gospic, and the political ties involved.

Hey there! So, you're diving into Rainbow Six Mobile and landed on the 'Background (7)' section. This is where we get the lowdown on the mission you're about to jump into. Think of it as the briefing before the real action starts. We've got a hostage situation brewing at a meat packing facility in Pilar, Argentina, and RAINBOW's been called in. Your main gig? Get those hostages out safe and sound, and, well, deal with the folks holding them. Let's break down what's really going on here.

John Clark's Intel:

So, the story goes like this: some folks were snooping around the plant, trying to trash company records. The night watchman caught 'em, managed to make a call to the cops before he was taken out. When the police rolled up, they found the place crawling with bad guys who'd grabbed some managers as hostages. Things got dicey fast – the cops got hit with AK-47 fire just trying to get close, so they backed off and waited. Now, here's the kicker: those managers? Turns out they're connected to some big political players in Argentina, calling them 'Mommy' and 'Daddy.' And who's pulling some strings behind the scenes? A guy named Mr. Gospic from Cayman Brac, who happens to have a stake in this meat packing operation. This is why they called for 'the man in black' – likely referring to a key operative. The clock is ticking, too; they're threatening to kill a hostage every hour if their demands aren't met. Time to get to work!

Kevin Sweeney's Intel:

Digging deeper, we're finding some interesting connections. The official story about the 'estate incident' is that a staff member, a gardener named Michael Curry, got into debt with local smugglers and used the estate as a front to pay them off. Conveniently, Curry ended up dead afterward, a single bullet to the back of the head – not exactly the messy outcome you'd expect from a firefight. This makes the official story a bit shaky; it's more likely the terrorists silenced him. Remember Mr. Gospic? He's not just into meat packing; he's got his fingers in a bunch of other industries, including oil exploration in Venezuela – sound familiar from earlier missions? Plus, one of his companies dropped a ton of cash into the campaign fund of a far-right presidential candidate, Alvaro Gutierrez. Gutierrez himself is a bit of a character, backed by neo-fascist groups but careful to keep a distance. Intel, however, has linked him to terrorists from Switzerland, even helping them get passports. The final piece? The demands from these terrorists at the plant are echoing those made by terrorists at a shipyard in Bergen. This suggests they might be working together. There's definitely more going on here than meets the eye.

Key Takeaways:

• The Target: A meat packing facility in Pilar, Argentina, currently occupied by terrorists holding hostages.
• The Hostages: Night-shift managers with political connections.
• The Players: Mr. Gospic (part-owner of the plant, involved in various industries including Venezuelan oil), Alvaro Gutierrez (far-right presidential candidate with ties to terrorists), and potentially linked terrorist groups from Switzerland and Bergen.
• The Stakes: Hostages are threatened, with one potentially killed each hour.
• The Mystery: Why were company records being destroyed? What's the real connection between Gospic, Gutierrez, and the terrorists?

This intel sets the stage for your operation. Keep these details in mind as you go in – understanding the 'why' behind the mission can often help you make the right calls under pressure.
