Global Risk and the reason why the PMC seeks to pre-emptively eliminate him, but will kill him if not stabilized by a device called EOE within the next few weeks. Torres is thus forced to work for Black List in order to gain a venue to such a device. Later on the Black List team raids a Global Risk facility in the Hoover Dam for its cache of EOEs, but the first EOE they encounter is remotely overloaded, alerting the Global Risk troops and leading to the team getting captured. Torres manages to free himself and proceeds to rescue his teammates, but Cora betrays and shoots Torres, revealing that she has been secretly sabotaging the mission and reveals that the future she actually saw. Cora explains that Fontaine has withheld the knowledge that Nanodyne will eventually reduce Ghosts to mindless killing machines, resulting in Ghosts turning against Black List as well as Humanity as a whole in the future. Torres nonetheless survives, steals a prototype cloaking battle suit, and returns to Black List headquarters with his team (minus Cora, who deserts the team after shooting Torres), only to find the headquarters on the verge of being overrun by Global Risk forces. Nicholas seemingly dies when the tiltrotor used by the team is shot down, and Logan is killed soon afterwards by mortar fires. Enraged by the loss of his recently bonded friends, Torres decides to embrace his new identity as a Ghost and fully activates his nanotech augmentations. Declaring his loyalty to be with Black List rather than Fontaine herself, Torres later finds Nicholas to still be alive and, at his behest, reaches the abandoned base control center to reactivate automated defense guns. He succeeds, resulting in much of Global Risk's air support being neutralized before a siege mecha piloted by Maddox directly bombards the control center, disabling the defenses once again. Torres proceeds to sneak up on the mecha and breaches its cockpit, forcing Maddox to fight him hand-to-hand. Torres ends up besting and killing Maddox, throwing Global Risk forces into disarray and allowing Black List survivors to stand their ground. In the epilogue narration, Cora laments that Ghosts have become a reality as foretold and will in time become a threat to the whole world, rendering the feud between Black List and Global Risk irrelevant. Six months later, Torres is seen raiding a Global Risk facility, joined by
