كارتل
Exposed, Wittel is forced to escape to Mexico, covered by Veermak, after failing to organize a force of defecting US troops to stand against the government.  Schaefer leads a final assault against Wittel's forces and eliminates him, with Wittel being vilified as the supposed head of the Cartel, as the "Olympus Cell" disbands, fully exposed.  However, Veermak and Yao manage to escape by deserting the "Olympus Cell" and joining the "Heliopolis Cell", whose leader "'Osiris"' grants entry to Veermak and Yao after they assist "Heliopolis" in being rid of Wittel's incriminating data during Chimera's attack.  The Cartel then convenes through the secure channels concerning how and if should they deal with Chimera, the decision being made unknown.
