Rico Rodriguez

Rico Rodriguez is the main protagonist of the video game franchise. In spite of being a morally grey character, he does bring down oppressive governments and liberates countries from brutal dictators.
He is voiced by Robin Atkin Downes in the first two games, Kevin Collins in the third game, and Orion Acaba in the fourth game.
==Overview==
Rio Rodriguez is a CIA spy who is specializing in sabotaging, demolition and toppling dictatorships around the world.
==Personality==
Rico Rodriguez is a rebel with cause, and a embodiement of a daring audacity and unwavering determination. Rico is multifaceted, reflecting a complex of traits that make him a formidable and relatable agent.
His overarching goal is to fight against oppressive regimes and bring freedom to the people, this is deep-seated desire for justice and liberation drives many of Rico's actions, making him a symbol of hope for the downtrodden. Rico Rodriguez possesses a strong moral compass, often taking on impossible odss to dismantle corrupt governments and dictatorships (dictators like Salvador Mendoza, Pandak Panay, Sebastiano Di Ravello and Oscar Espinosa), regardless of the personal cost. Rico's dedication to his missions is unshakeable, and he is willing to put himself in harm's way to achieve his objectives.
Also, Rico is very resourceful and adapted, wheather he is navigating treacherous terrain, engaging in high-octane combat or utilizing an array of unconventional gadgets, he consistently demonstrates an ability to think on his feet and improvise. This quick thinking is paired with an impressive skill set, including expertise in weaponry, hand-to-hand combat and a advanced vehicular maneuvers. His proficency with a grappling hook and a parachute allows him to traverse environments in a way that few others can, making him a master of mobility and surprise tactics.
Despite of his seriousness persona during his missions, Rico has a roguish charm and a penchant for humor. He often approaches dangerous with a laid-back, almost nonchalant attitude, delivering witty one-liners and maintaining a cool demeanor even under fire. This charismatic aspect of his personality endears him to allies and makes him a likable figure, even to those who might initially view him with skepticism.
However, Rico's relentless pursuit of his goals sometimes borders on recklessness. His willingness to take extreme risks can lead to collateral damage and unintended consequences, a reality that he is often forced to confront. This aspect of his personality adds a layer of complexity, as he grapples with the ethical implications of his actions and the fine line between herois and vigilantism.
Rodriguez's personal history also shapes his personality: His past, filled with loss and hardship (like the loss of his father, Miguel), fuels his desire to protect the others from suffering similiar fates. His background gives him a sense of empathy and a personal stake in the struggles he encounters, driving him to fight not just for ideological reasons but also from a place of personal conviction.
== Background ==
According to the Just Cause 2 PDA, Rico was 21 years old when he was scouted by Tom Sheldon in 1986 (which means that he would have been born in 1965, which conflicts other JC2 PDA info where it states that he was born in 1968), but according to promotional information for JC3, he joined The Agency – the covert arm of the CIA – at age 18.
In conclusion, it was unknown when Rico was born between 1965 or 1968, with the date on the JC2 PDA potentially not accurate. This confusion was then cleared up by the official Just Cause social media pages which (posted on September 28th, 2020) confirmed that Rico was indeed born on the 25th of January, 1968.
Rico has gone by various nicknames throughout his travels. Some of these include "Hero of San Esperito" in Just Cause (1), "Scorpio", "The Scorpion", and "King of Panau" in Just Cause 2, and "Aquila" (eagle), "Fratre" (brother), "Son of Medici", and "the agent" in Just Cause 3.
== Biography ==
According to the JC2 PDA, Rico was born on January 25, 1968 (Star-sign Aquarius), in Mexico. It has been stated (at the official Just Cause Facebook page) that he grew up in Medici but was not born there. Medici is said to be both his and his mother's homeland. According to an interview with the game director, Rico's parents were killed in action, when Rico escaped the coup in Medici.
In JC4, it is uncovered that Rico's father, Miguel Rodriguez, was a scientist working for Oscar Espinosa and it is possible that while Rico was in Medici, Miguel made trips between Medici and Solís.
=== Before the Agency ===
Anders Bodbacka, the senior technical designer for JC3, revealed that Rico was born in Mexico and moved to Medici, which is where his mother is from. Rico's childhood friend Mario Frigo would later lead the Rebellion against Di Ravello before Rico's return.
According to the collectible Di Ravello audio diary tapes, Rico was a mediocre race car driver until he won a race as a result of the lead car's brakes failing (orchestrated by Di Ravello). Rico left Medici when Di Ravello ordered his soldiers to kill his parents to please The Agency. This order was given by the Agency because Miguel Rodriguez refused to continue work on Project Illapa. According to the info in JC3, Rico first met Tom Sheldon on the boat during his escape.
According to Rico's JC2 PDA profile, Rico was approached by the CIA during the Invasion of Panama in 1989, when Rico was 21 years old. Tom Sheldon then took Rico under his wing and became his commanding officer and friend, turning him from a rookie into the top agent he is today.
=== In The Agency and the CIA ===
Rico underwent CIA training and due to his expertise with weapons, vehicles, and other gadgets, he was soon accepted into The Agency.
This was a unit of the CIA that specialized in "regime change" operations, which involves overthrowing dictatorships that are being ruled unfairly or are no longer U.S.A. friendly.
During his time with The Agency, Rico trained under Sheldon, who taught Rico the skills and techniques he would need to carry out such dangerous operations, and became a good friend and ally. Rico ran a series of black ops to support guerrilla revolutionaries and overthrow evil dictators around the world.
Rico also met Maria Kane, another recruit within The Agency. Rico and Maria were intimate sometime before the events of the first game, something Sheldon is still oblivious to. Nonetheless, the three became close partners and often dispatched as a team: Sheldon being the commander, in charge of contact with Agency HQ and receiving intelligence, Maria deals with weapons, vehicle, and equipment procurement with Rico as the field operative, carrying out all the actual work.
=== Guatemala ===
As revealed in Just Cause 3 and Danger Rising, Rico was once on a mission in Guatemala. He was accompanied by Maria Kane (his significant other at the time), Dimah Ali Umar al-Masri, and possibly Tom Sheldon. Their forward operations base was the USS Codetalker. During that mission, Kane had briefed Rico in the submarines munitions storage room and Dimah had gotten into some trouble, from which Rico rescued her.
=== Events of Just Cause ===
In 2005, Rico made a name for himself when he was called to the tropical island of San Esperito, along with Sheldon and Maria, who were already there.
This would turn out to be one of his largest, most difficult, and dangerous operations. His task was to infiltrate and assist two rebel factions on the island and overthrow the regime of general Salvador Mendoza, who was believed to be in control of WMDs.
After landing on the island nation, he breaks one faction leader out of prison to aid him in his revolution: José Caramicas. Transporting him to safety earned him the friendship of his faction (the Guerrillas) and the affections of his grateful sister Esperanza Caramicas. He continued to help the faction and make his way across the nation, meeting new allies and making enemies. With his allies, Rico proceeded and carried out numerous life-risking tasks that included the sabotaging some of the nations critical infrastructure and the killing of Mendozas family members. Eventually, Sheldon, Rico and Maria tracked Mendoza down, who had retreated to his island. Rico attacked the island-base and fought his way through Mendoza's army. Mendoza fled in a jet with Rico in hot pursuit. After Rico jumped aboard Mendoza's presidential plane, the president took a last-ditch chance to escape and skydived from the plane to get to a waiting submarine. Rico followed, skydiving after him, and placed explosives on Mendoza's back mid-flight, killing him.
=== Events of Just Cause 2 ===
Tom Sheldon suspiciously goes missing with millions of dollars in Agency cash. He is suspected of going rogue. The Agency wants him found and killed. The events of JC2 took place in 2009.
Maria Kane personally tracks down Rico, believing him to be the only person capable of such a mission. She informs Rico about Sheldon's situation, who has disappeared in the island nation of Panau.
Rico returns and accepts the mission when he hears about Sheldon. He and Kane are flown to Panau, in south-east Asia, whose new dictator has suddenly cut all ties to the U.S.A. Rico is informed that Sheldon may have gone rogue. Rico grudgingly accepts the fact that he may have to kill his friend and mentor, who taught him everything he knows.
Immediately thrown into combat, Rico assaults a military base and retrieves some memory cards with various pieces of intelligence about the operation in Panau on them. Later, Kane and Rico go to visit Karl Blaine, a Swedish Agency asset who has abandoned his mission in favor of gambling and drinking, who is believed to have information about Sheldon. But, after arriving at his house, they are greeted by his apparent girlfriend Jade Tan. Jade tells Rico that Blaine is holed up in the Panau Falls Casino and needs help. Rico and Jade ride to the casino, taking a shine to one another in the process. Rico then forcefully extracts Blaine from the casino and is repaid with a Black Market contact and the HQ locations of three Panau factions.
Rico is introduced to the factions as a mercenary called "Scorpio" (once or twice called "Scorpion," possibly by mistake). The factions will dig up information regarding the whereabouts of Sheldon in return for Rico's services as a mercenary. Rico works for the "Reapers", led by Bolo Santosi, who is driven by her want for revolution; the "Roaches", led by Razak "The Razor" Razman, a very powerful drug distributor on Panau, though due to his wealth remains a prominent public figure; and the "Ular Boys", led by Sri Irawan, who is driven simply by his lust for power and independence. All factions disapprove of dictator Pandak "Baby" Panay, who they feel is corrupting their nation.
Sure enough, he finds Sheldon and confronts him. Learning about Baby Panay, he realizes that Sheldon had not gone rogue as it was believed. Instead, he was secretly investigating Panay, who is believed to have ulterior motives for cutting ties with the US. Rico is given the job of eliminating Panau's corrupt leader to return the country to US-friendly status. Sheldon tells Rico to keep working for the factions and causing chaos to flush Panay from his hiding spot and take him down, before departing to make amends with the Agency.
As Rico continues to work for the factions, he is abruptly informed that Karl Blaine is missing and isn't to be trusted (he had earlier installed a bug on Rico's PDA). Panay has also captured Jade, who is also revealed as a government agent and was caught snooping around. Rico races to rescue Jade before she is tortured by Panay, and he destroys the base where she is held.
From below a frozen lake, a nuclear submarine (U1) surfaces and a convoy makes their escape with Jade thrown into a truck. However, Rico foils the plan and hijacks the truck carrying Jade. Both are then rescued by Kane and Sheldon via helicopter.
The four of them take a break on Sheldon's barge boat where Jade expresses her gratitude towards Rico for saving her. She shares the intel she had gathered which reveals that there are three superpower representatives on Panau who also want to drive out Baby Panay. Knowing of the factions' want to remove Panay from the presidency, each of the representatives has allied themselves with a certain faction, providing them with financial backing.
Alexander Mirkov, a Russian secret service agent is aiding the Roaches; Zhang Sun, a Chinese leader who is backing the Reapers with his promise of revolution and a disgraced Japanese general named Masayo Washio, allied with the Ular Boys. Unfortunately, Jade was caught before finding out why the superpowers want Panay gone, or what their interest in Panau itself is. They all wonder what a small nation like Panau has to offer. Sheldon tells Rico he must continue doing jobs for the factions and retain their trust, to discover the locations of these superpower representatives. As Rico prepares to leave, Jade asks what he intends to do, to which Rico replies what he does best, cause chaos. She tells him to take care of himself, but he insists there will be another time for that, jokingly suggesting Jade give him a few tips in the future.
Eventually, one of the three factions unknowingly put Rico in contact with their superpower representative, enabling Rico and Sheldon to wipe them out.
Sheldon calls Rico to the Three Kings Hotel where Mirkov, Sun, and Washio are staying. Ironically, none of them know the others are there, too. After confronting and defeating all three, Sheldon and Rico again wonder what Panau has that can attract the Chinese, Japanese, Russians.
After locating Panay, Sheldon sends Rico and a faction to kill him. Arriving at his lair (Wajah Ramah Fortress), Panay queries if Rico is also on the island to steal its huge oil supply. It suddenly becomes clear that all this was for oil, as it appears that the superpowers were after Panauan Oil and wanted to get rid of Panay to get to it. The interaction is cut short by Blaine, who believes Panay killed Jade. He sets off a grenade, killing himself and seemingly also Panay. Rico makes a quick exit as the self-destruct sequence activates.
Getting to safety, Rico rages at Sheldon for having him risk his life so much just for oil. They are interrupted by Kane who informs them that rival powers have learned of Panay's death and their tankers are headed toward Panau to seize the oil, which will supposedly turn the nation into a field of death and destruction as they all clash over the world's largest oil supply, with little regard for the inhabitants of the island.
Rico is sent to the oil field in preparation for the confrontation of the superpowers, but on his way there, a nuclear submarine (U1) rises from the water. Rico checks it out, only to discover Panay, having survived the grenade explosion, is intent on keeping the oil supply for himself. After being overpowered, Panay flees to the front deck of the sub and reveals to Rico that the fight isn't over. Three Nuclear missiles are directed at the superpowers who have come to Panau to take the oil and a fourth is directed at the US. Panay launches them; however, his clothes are snagged on the American one and he is hauled off with it. Rico grapples onto the Russian one and quickly disarms the first three as they speed over the water. Then after a brief scuffle with Panay, Rico slams him into the exposed missile interior, from which he's unable to free himself, but instead of disarming the missile, he changes the target coordinates.
Rico parachutes to safety and lands on the Agency barge with Sheldon, Kane, and Jade. The missile explodes behind him, having hit the prized oil field, much to Sheldon's and Kane's dismay. Rico explains his reasons for destroying oil worth so much, to spare the innocent people in Panau from having to live in fear and poverty due to superpowers clashing over the oil, as without it, all interest in Panau is lost.
As the group sail along the waters of Panau, the four raise a glass to good deeds, friends and a job well done.
=== Events of Just Cause 3 ===
In 2015, several years after the events of Just Cause 2, Rico leaves The Agency and travels back home to the fictional nation of Medici, located in a fictional Mediterranean archipelago, to overthrow the dictatorship of General Di Ravello.
Since Rico is no longer in the Agency, he no longer wears a uniform. He's wearing a denim jacket, jeans, and work/cowboy boots.
With the help of Tom Sheldon, Rico travels to Medici on a plane during Di Ravello week. Sheldon explains that "Di Ravello is sitting on a ton of Bavarium, which makes him the Agency's best goddamn friend". Rico equips himself with weapons that he has smuggled with the help of Tom Sheldon and stunts to the roof of the plane which is now being attacked by SAMs. After defending the plane, the plane makes a vertical turn to dodge a machine gun from an attacking plane, which causes Rico to fall off. Rico parachutes down and meets up with Mario Frigo, now The Rebellion's incompetent leader. Rico ends up saving Mario from the D.R.M., then an urgent distress call from nearby rebels comes in and the two head for them as a backup. Managing to save the rebels in time, a fellow rebel says that Dimah Ali Umar al-Masri is now being attacked by the military. Rico mounts a helicopter and saves Dimah. After that, she explains that Bavarium is in the wrong hands and gifts Rico a new grappler, Wingsuit, and GE-64 explosives. Rico then destroys an outpost and a bridge to stop Di Ravello's reinforcements from the previous mission.
Rico meets Mario at his Granmatre's house for dinner, after which he liberates the town of Manaea by the command of Alessia and then proceeds to destroy the nearby power plant, Vis Electra. Rico discovers that Sheldon survived the crash while Di Ravello discovers that Rico has returned. Di Ravello orders his soldiers to raze the town of Costa Del Porto to bring out The Rebellion's leader Mario; Di Ravello plans were to kill Mario Frigo. Di Ravello fails and they fly away to safety. Rico subsequently saves the town and saves Mario.
Dimah requests Rico to retrieve a Bavarium scanner from Vigilator Nord. After retrieving it, he travels to Cima Leon: Silo to determine if Bavarium is being weaponized, after which the detector explodes due to the detection of an overabundance of Bavarium. During the mission, Rico discovers that Bavarium is heading to Tom Sheldon, who wants the detector for his own. Rico delivers the destroyed scanner to Sheldon, who in a fit of anger, smashes his glass of beer.
Rico and Mario then escort Zeno Antithikara, a scientist defecting from Di Ravello's Bavarium research campaign. Supposedly enraged by Zeno's escape, Di Ravello launches a military campaign to crush The Rebellion in Insula Fonte. After assisting in several battles around Insula Fonte, the Medici Military launch a Bavarium nuke to distract Rico, who instead catches up to the missile and physically redirects the missile's course to Cima Leon Central Command instead of its intended target. Mario asks Rico to meet him urgently, but Rico is set up for a prank by a drunk Mario. He goes to Mario's actual location and the two deliver wine stolen from Di Ravello to some rebels where the group celebrate the victory.
Sometime later Sheldon informs Rico that some Medici Military ships are heading after Dimah and Mario. Rico is suspicious of Sheldon but goes to intercept the military ships and after defending Dimah and Mario, they meet two smugglers named Annika Svennson and Teo. After a firefight against Medici Military reinforcements, Mario becomes critically injured, in which Annika offers Rico aid to Mario if Rico does their bidding. It is later revealed that Sheldon and The Agency had ties to Di Ravello for 20 years for a promise that Di Ravello will have an alliance with the United States of America and the killing of Rico's parents was planned so Rico could be recruited for The Agency. Di Ravello is disappointed that Sheldon didn't keep his promise of an alliance with the US and starts blaming Sheldon for training Rico and his troubles. Di Ravello tells Sheldon to not return to his palace again and escorts Tom out of the palace.
All during this time, the smugglers ask Rico to steal an Imperator Bavarium Tank, besiege a Bavarium refinery, and test a Bavarium EMP, but Rico becomes suspicious of a mole in The Rebellion. During these events, Mario recovers from his injuries, but the two hear that military forces know where they are and are going to wipe them out. The smugglers escape to "avoid suicide" but later return to help. After this, they destroy another power plant.
The rebels hear that Rosa Manuela is returning to Medici, but Rico is protective and doesn't want her returning to avoid an assassination attempt, so he protects her plane, and after landing Rosa recognizes Zeno Antithikara as the mole and Zeno is imprisoned. Rosa tasks Rico to destroy a train carrying Bavarium out of Medici and Rico destroys the train. Annika and Teo ask Rico to help free their friends and after doing this, Dimah, Rico, and Sheldon stop a transport plane carrying a Bavarium bomb. The Medici Military attacks The Rebellion as a ruse to free Zeno, but Rico confronts and destroys Zeno's helicopter, killing him.
The Rebellion engages in a final battle against the Medici Military to serve as a distraction while Dimah infiltrates Falco Maxime Central Command and attempts to destroy the base tower and with it the last half-century of Bavarium research. After assisting in The Rebellion's victories in battles across Medici, Rico travels to Falco Maxime where Dimah reveals there is no other way to destroy the tower than manually directing the Bavarium missiles from the base command tower. Rico attempts to convince her that there is another way, but Dimah surprises Rico by firing his grappling hook at a passing jet and proceeds to sacrifice herself to guide the missiles to the Centcom Tower.
Annika and Teo track down Di Ravello in a Bavarium powered helicopter that escaped from Falco Maxime: Centcom moments before the explosion. Rico, along with Annika, Teo, and Mario travel to the last known location of the helicopter - a large volcano island off the coast of Medici. After a long battle with Rico, Di Ravello's helicopter crashes from too much damage, of which he crawls out of, determined to keep fighting. Rico confronts Di Ravello, who monologues about how he failed Medici. Rico can either kill Di Ravello or let him commit suicide, ending his reign. Rico then travels to a nearby beach to enjoy a drink alone, in a scene similar to the title menu. Rico appears to be alive and well for the events of three years later.
=== Events of Just Cause 4 ===
In 2018 Rico goes to Solís to learn what became of his father, Miguel Rodriguez.
Rico learns from Mira Morales that his father is dead and that he had designed a super-weapon for the Black Hand, called Project Illapa. Rico is confused by this because he doesn't think his father would do that. He knows that Oscar Espinosa, the ruler of Solís, has some answers, so he attacks the Illapa main base to get to Oscar to talk to him. Rico doesn't initially care that the Black Hand are in charge here and also doesn't think that he needs any help. His attack on Illapa fails and he has to get help from the locals. The locals wish to get rid of the Black Hand, so this starts a rebellion called the Army of Chaos to topple the Espinosa regime.
According to Gabriela Morales, head of the Black Hand, Rico had toppled "half a dozen" regimes before arriving at Solís, but she also mentions that he "went off the grid", or "under the radar", after the events in Medici, so he must have had a vacation since then.
It's mentioned in Operation Whiteout that he is equipped with an AR lens - a nano-computer built into a contact lens.
Throughout the many missions, Rico learns from Javi Huerta, an archaeologist, that Solís has been ruled by the Espinosa family for centuries, and that they held power by a combination of rigged elections and lies about Otorongo, the previous ruler.
Rico also finds out that Project Illapa is a weather-controlling device that's officially meant to put an end to extreme weather, like tornadoes, sandstorms, snowstorms and lightning storms. This turns out to be a lie, as the device is meant to create weaponized controlled storms, which Oscar Espinosa reveals will eventually be pawned off.
Tom Sheldon, who claims to be in Solís on his own and who Rico doesn't initially trust, discovers that Rico's father may have worked with the Black Hand, but the details remain unclear until the mission Operation Thunderbarge.
Miguel quit his job at the project and returned home to Medici. Oscar Espinosa then arranged Miguel to be killed. It's unclear who asked who precisely what, but Oscar noted that he had Black Hand units in Medici and that General Di Ravello is co-operating with the Agency. According to Di Ravello tapes, he burned down the Rodriguez household, killing the occupants, as a gift to the Agency. Di Ravello also mentions that he allowed Rico to be taken away by the Agency. Tom Sheldon mentions in the mission Operation Thunderbarge that he was still new to the Agency at the time and didn't know the details. He had only been sent to rescue specifically Rico.
Mira introduces Rico to César, who has discovered that the tornadoes in Solís are controlled by technology. They set up a raid on Zona Tres, a weather research base, and learn that the tornadoes are indeed controlled by the government as a part of Project Illapa. The secrets of the tornado technology are revealed in Operation Windwalker.
The mission Meeting Lanza Moralez reveals that Project Illapa was started by Leon Espinosa for completely peaceful reasons - to stop extreme weather. Later Oscar had ordered the project to be weaponized. This made Miguel Rodriguez quit and go home.
In the final mission Operation Illapa it is revealed that Oscar Espinosa was trying to sell the Project Illapa to The Agency. Rico kills Oscar and destroys the project. Gabriela and a few remaining Black Hand units defect to the Army of Chaos. Tom estimates that this loss must have cost the Agency trillions. Rico doesn't intend to let the Agency off the hook after everything they've done and wants to take them down. Tom and Mira join this effort. They don't know how to do this, but Rico tells them that having an army is a good start.
The Solís Hoy radio announces after the mission that Rico is now apparently the new ruler of Solís and at least one of the show's hosts is willing to give him a chance at the job. The radio also mentions that some factions within the Black Hand have not surrendered and continue the fight. This refers to any region of Solís that the player might not have captured before the mission. The radio host urges them to lay down their arms so the people of Solís could focus on rebuilding.
==== Danger Rising ====
At some after Rico discovers Sheldon's crash-landing, The Agency sends 8 submarines to Solís seemingly to eliminate Rico, but the aforementioned is only the secondary objective. Rico meets Sheldon at some town near a coastal town and drives Sheldon to the coastal town. At some point, Rico is told by Sheldon that the Agency has been tracking Rico's grappler as "3 million dollars worth of stolen tech." The tracker is in a briefcase carried by one Emerson Miller. At the coastal town, Rico and Sheldon run into a roadblock. They dismount from the Army of Chaos Pugilista SUV and proceed on foot. At one point, they are ambushed by Agency operatives. Rico and Sheldon fight them off, then head to the dock. At this point, Rico is taught how to use the hoverboard and is told to go to the USS Watchdog to disable it. After disabling the Watchdog, 6 more Agency submarines appear off the coast of Solís. Rico proceeds to disable them all (in any order).
While disabling the submarines, Rico runs into a few of his old colleagues. Most of them don't appear to know Rico personally but are ordered to eliminate him anyway. Rico at one point runs into a guy called Kowalski, whom Rico knows. After defeating him, Rico tells him to rest easy, implying they were on good terms in the past. Some submarines reveal other information about Rico as well, including how he has been tracked ever since after Panau and before Medici. After disabling all 7 submarines, the agent in charge of the Solís operation, Emerson Miller, then appears on his command submarine USS Statesman. Rico is ordered to destroy that sub and hunt down Miller. After destroying the sub, Rico chases Miller in his C3 Canvasback Hovercraft to a nearby Agency cruiser. There, Rico and Miller engage in a boss battle. Miller has a quick charging RG-PBA 9 Railgun, but Rico defeats him regardless. After killing Miller, Rico disables the grappler tracker, while also deleting some personal files of his own on the briefcase Rico has been chasing. The screen pans out to reveal the Agency's real reason on Solís: copy details of Project Illapa and build it in a "safer location". Simultaneously, a map of the US with an Agency logo on it appears.
