Transcription recorded from private Exodus comms.] CRAWFORD: Oz made a deal with the devil: [[Codex/Organizations/The Dark Market|The Dark Market]]. He paid them to steal the [[Steadfast Refuge]] tech from [[Codex/Battlefields/Exposure|Black Ridge]]. I’d know, I led the job. Your CIA man, [[Codex/Profiles/Noah Wolff|Wolff]]? He’s right about one thing. That tech caused [[Codex/Key Events/The Blackout|the Blackout]] – in the wrong hands, no telling what it could do. It’ll be in Oz's hands soon. We just need to know where. TRANSMISSION: Six. Eight. Zero. Five. CRAWFORD: This transmission is connected to a [[Daesong]] executive. Follow the signals, find the source. \[comms offline] CRAWFORD: The Dark Market controls more than just weapons and soldiers. It’s got its fingers in corporations all over the world. Daesong. [[4SEC]]. [[Codex/Organizations/Nordvik|Nordvik]]. Caju. They use them as part of their smuggling network. TRANSMISSION: Three. Nine. Five. Eight. CRAWFORD: That code you're hearing? We put it together and we know where that Black Ridge tech is headed. The signal’s pinging an old EUSA substation. Dark Market co-opted those after [[Collapse of the EU|the collapse]]. \[comms offline] CRAWFORD: There's a rumor that Oz has taken control of the Shearwater-2 satellite. Another gift from the Dark Market. With that and the Black Ridge tech in hand, make no mistake: our man’s building a weapon. The kind we haven’t seen before. East and West think they’re in control – like fuck they are. Their No-Pat forces are already rallying to his cause. TRANSMISSION: One. Nine. Four. Three. CRAWFORD: This transmission links to a 4SEC op. Need to figure out which one. \[comms offline] CRAWFORD: Oz cut a deal with another Dark Market partner. Nordvik. Yeah, the manufacturer turned military contractor that supplies America with "tomorrow's war machines." Railgun tech. Next level shit. Word is he's building his weapon at one of their sites. He's tasked a loyal ally to oversee the op. A real hardliner. TRANSMISSION: Eight. Nine. Zero. Three. CRAWFORD: Assemble the code and we find the facility. I think it’s time we ask that hardliner some fucking questions.
