The Doomsday Scenario

The Doomsday Scenario was a large-scale fictional conflict that lasted two weeks in 2017. It took place across southern San Andreas and was conducted by the International Affairs Agency, an unnamed Russian force, and tech guru Avon Hertz and his AI, Cliffford.
== Description ==
The conflict began soon after Avon Hertz, tech guru, notified the IAA that the world may be under peril due to a potential attack by the Russians.
The IAA employed former heist planner Lester Crest and criminal mastermind Joel Wallace into preventing any potential doomsday by any means necessary. Joel handled the ground work in setting up plans needed to combat any invasions and extract data for Avon’s advanced AI, Cliffford.
== Events ==
=== Starting ===
The conflict went into full scale when the Russian forces, led by a man codenamed: “Bogdan”, attacked the hidden IAA facility on the outskirts of Sandy Shores, which Joel and a hired gang repelled successfully, pushing back their attempts on any more presumed attacks.
=== Betrayals ===
After collecting more data and gathering more supplies for set ups, Joel and IAA finally prepared to assault a submarine piloted by Bogdan, anchored off the coast of Paleto Bay. After the sub was stormed, Bogdan revealed that Avon had used them to gather data, which Avon and Cliffford confirmed. After escaping, the team reunited at LSIA to discuss their mess.
=== Preparing for War ===
To fix the mess they have made, Joel and the team do more set ups to thwart Avon’s plans and prepare for their confrontation, including saving Agent Bernard and stealing a couple of vehicles for the job. After gathering these, the team reunited in the facility to further discuss their final plans.
=== The Silo War ===
After learning that Avon planned to nuke the globe and survive inside of a silo in Mount Chiliad, the team prepared to assault the silo using one of the special weaponized vehicles: the Khanjali tank and the Barrage ATV. The team drove up to the silo and entered it before it would seal permanently. The team fought their way through the silo, destroying Cliffford’s data along the way and killing Avon’s clones. After destroying the data, the team were initially locked out of the main control room due to a blast door, which initially led to the team believing that they were doomed. But Lester was smart enough to test Cliffford’s insecurity and in an attempt to prove that he could open the blast door, Cliffford did so, unaware at the time that the men were able to get inside. Joel and company fought their way throughout the control room and hacked into the servers to shut down the missile protocol and deactivate Cliffford. Despite the heavy presence of henchmen, the team resolved to finishing their objectives and succeeded. After doing so, Cliffford was finally deactivated. The team fought their way to the missile silo, where Avon attempted to escape on a Thruster jetpack. The team took their jetpacks and took to the sky. After a violent chase in the air, Joel or one of the team members finally assassinated Hertz by blowing up his Thruster with a missile.
== Outcome ==
Afterwards, the team were ordered to return the Thrusters to the Galileo Observatory, where they were commended and offered cash as a reward. With this, Hertz was killed, the world was saved, and Cliffford was deleted and/or sent into hyperspace, with little chance of resurfacing.
== Legacy ==
Avon’s actions were remembered by Bernard, five years after his demise. However, some copies of Cliffford were recovered by Mason Duggan. The IAA employed Joel one last time to assassinate Duggan and recover the copies and end Clifford’s existence for good.
