The research facility is located in the Karkaar mountain range, just over 60 km south-west from the city of Bosaso. Guarded by two dozen armed guards it houses another dozen research staff members, covering an area of roughly 1 km radius.
As the mercenary operatives met Alaric, the forth member of the mission nearby the Rift site. He provided them with additional info, as he scouted the place for about two weeks beforehand. Guard routes, patrol size and building details - as well as extra equipment. After studying the info, the three of them set out as they bypassed the patrols using the cover of night and the treacherous terrain to their advantage.
Arriving at the main research facility, Faith managed to bypass the electronic lock, as they made their way into the building. They secured several files of gathered data, before setting the entire thing on fire - making a rushed evacuation.
After Faith was rescued by Hunter from getting lost in the mountains, Alaric organized a second strike to actually finish the job, as the research staff was still alive. Managing to push through the wounds and pain, Roy infiltrated the sleeping quarters while a firefight was happening outside between the Soviet agents, Brandon and Alaric. All the while, Faith sabotaged the vehicles they had stored in a nearby garage in order to prevent any severe chase through the desert.
The combined explosion and chaos left most people dead or dying as the agents retreated. Alaric helped smuggle Roy across the gulf towards Yemen, while the others returned back to New York.
Faith was approached by Wilson with a more exotic form of contracts, as they were in need of Rift researchers in the Stone.
