to Nice, Fisher discovers that 'mortified_penguin' is actually Norman Soth, a former CIA agent. Soth is heading to Jerusalem to procure something for Sadono's 'Insurance Policy', Fisher infiltrates the city to discover what the ND133 containers are for. In Jerusalem, Fisher meets with a Shin Bet undercover agent who reveals that Soth came to purchase bio-weapons from Syrian mercenaries. The Shin Bet betrays Fisher after he retrieves the ND133, planning to take the bio-weapon for themselves, but Fisher manages to kill or evade the Israeli agents. Fisher learns that Sadono has masterminded a scheme known as "Pandora Tomorrow", by placing a series of ND133 biological bombs, equipped with the smallpox virus, on U.S. soil. Every 24 hours, Sadono makes encrypted phone calls to each of the bomb carriers to delay the release of the virus. If he is killed or detained, the virus is released and millions of Americans will die. Because Sadono is fighting on the front lines in the conflict, the U.S. cannot risk killing him outright, and is forced to withdraw its forces. To prevent Sadono from taking advantage of the situation, Fisher is sent to infiltrate Darah Dan Doa strongholds in order to learn the location of the smallpox bombs so Sadono can be captured. He is assisted in this endeavor by Shetland and his private military company, Displace International. Fisher learns the location of the bombs, and Shadownet spies are sent in to neutralize them. After the bombs are disarmed, NSA's Third Echelon decides to capture Sadono alive instead of assassinating him, due to the problems created when Fisher assassinated former Georgian president Kombayn Nikoladze in late 2004. Although Fisher manages to capture Sadono, Third Echelon learns that Soth has acquired the last smallpox-armed ND133 and intends to detonate it inside Los Angeles International Airport. Soth is motivated not by Indonesia, but by a perceived betrayal which resulted in the loss of a leg years prior, and intends to exact revenge on the United States. Fisher infiltrates the airport, kills Soth and his group of terrorists (disguised as airport workers and security guards), and prevents the detonation of the last smallpox-armed ND133 by disguising himself as a maintenance worker and setting the ND133 down behind two policemen, who notice the device almost immediately, and subsequently have the airport evacuated. The Los Angeles Police Department's bomb squad is then called in to perform a controlled explosion
