## Campaign

### Plot

The prologue begins one month after the 2002 World Cup Terrorist Plot with Autumn Two Alpha (now known as Alpha Two), now with David Innes, raiding a safehouse in Mexico, on Ajusco. During the raid, an explosive is detonated, and Baker is temporarily unable to move. As he is being dragged by Marcus Sharp, David sacrifices himself by running into the room where the enemies are firing from. This allows Alpha to escape. Baker is shaken up by Innes 'sacrifice'.

one year later, Alpha (now with Dexter Woods to replace David Innes) is sent to liberate a mine in New Mexico filled with Alcides Cartel members. Radio Communication Advisor Melissa Bailey at this point joints Alpha. As Alpha makes their way through the mine, eliminating many members of the Cartel. During the operation, the team listens in on a conversation between several Cartel members. Baker, able to understand some of the Spanish, Tells Sharp to record the conversation. Marcus Sharp then pulls out a ARPD 21, and records the conversation. After recording the entire conversation, The team then kills the remaining Cartel members.

Three days later, a terrorist threat in Central Park leads to the team being Deployed again. Alpha is sent alongside other Kingship teams to sort it out. Before deployment, the team flies in a helicopter flown by Sebastian Velázquez. During the flight, The helicopter is shot at, and Bailey is hit in the soldier. Velázquez takes evasive maneuvers and saves everyone in the helicopter. They then land near NYPD reinforcements. After deployment, the NYPD, along with Kingship make their way to Harroway's Museum of Art, where the terrorists have taken hostages. When getting into the museum, Kingship finds the corpses of Hostage Rescue Team members. During the raid on the inside of the museum, the person calling the shots for the Cartel contacts those inside. He tells them that there is a bomb inside, and they have 3 minutes to defuse it. After scanning around, and fighting through the museum, many hostages are saved, including NSA agent Oscar Newell, who informs the team that the bomb is in the room over. The team is able to defuse the bomb in time.

Four days later, an anonymous NSA Agents gives information to Kingship that hints to a house in Rio Bravo, Texas. Alpha Two, Bravo Three and Echo Six are sent to raid the house hinted to by the agent. During the raid, Bravo Three breaches the house, and are all killed by a detonated explosive. It is now apparent that this was a trap. Cartel members rush out of nearby houses, and assault Alpha Two and Echo Six. The teams then have to escape, as they are overwhelmed. During this, Rio Bravo Police arrive, however do not take any side, and fire on any armed personnel. This leads to Evan Cooper getting shot in the leg. Sharp then picks up Cooper, and carries him to the chopper Bailey and Velázquez are in.

After Alcides activity is reported near the border, Kingship looks specifically at a city named Reynosa. They discover a subordinate of the leader of the cartel, Vikenti Irgatov. Since the city is crowded, many civilians are present when Alpha is deployed. Alongside Alpha is Warrant Officer Class Cole Wells. Kingship After tapping into a supposedly secure line, Wells tells the team that Irgatov will arrive in 3 minutes. The team then hides in tplain site, disguised as civilians. They begin to exchange with the locals when Irgatov arrives. Kingship approaches Irgatov's vehicle, but before they can get to him and apprehend him, he jumps out of the car, and detonates it remotely. A full out chase begins, and pandemonium also begins. As civilians run back into their homes, Irgatov runs away, with the support of many nearby Cartel members. After a long chase, Baker and Woods are separated from Sharp. The two teams chase after Irgatov, and back him into a corner. He supposedly surrenders, however just when he is about to be apprehended, he pulls out a Makarov pistol and shoots himself in the temple. Without any leads to where the leader of the cartel might be, Sharp tosses his rifle to the ground and breaks it. However, Wells is able to inform the team that apparently a high level Kingship operative is being held captive in Matamoros, Mexico. The team then gets back to the helicopter they arrived in, however, a lone Cartel member ends up shooting at and killing Cole Wells. Baker avenges him.

Alpha is sent to Matamoros along with Echo Six. The Kingship operative is being held in a Inn abandoned when the Cartel raided it in 2001. Alpha raids the Inn from the west, and Echo from the east. Alpha's entrance is smooth, and they stealthily move through the floors of the Inn. After rendezvousing with Echo, they make their way to Room 67, the room containing the Kingship operative. They breach the room, and it turns out that the operative is David Innes. Baker, shocked that Innes is still alive, welcomes Innes. They untie Innes, and free him. However, Innes isn't on their side. He pulls out a flashbang, shoots one of the members of Echo in the leg, and runs out. Baker eventually comes too, and is filled with anger. He screams at Innes, and runs downstairs, and out of the Inn, clearing through Cartel members that were making their way upstairs. He comes outside to find Velázquez near dead, and Bailey injured. When he askes what happened, Innes comes onto the comms and tells Baker to "Find [him]. It'll be a *challenge*."

Over a week later, Kingship is still looking on leads for his location. Baker remembers what Innes said, and realizes that Innes was referring to the Desafiadora (Feminine word for Challenger in Spanish), a cruise ship. He relays this information to Superintendent Richard Baltimore, and a raid of the Desafiadora is put into action. Unfortunately, the ship is already in the Gulf of Mexico near Cuba, so there is risk for civilian casualties. Alpha Team drops onto the cruise ship, and notifies the crew and security about the threat. The security then work alongside Kingship to find Innes. He takes off in a speedboat stored in the lower half of the ship, however Kingship is close behind, also taking speedboats stored on the ship.

They chase Innes into Havana, where confused soldiers of the Cuban Revolutionary Army open fire on ALL armed personnel. A chase begins and both Kingship and Innes hop into vehicles. They chase him to a hotel called the Amatista (Amethyst) Hotel. The Amtista Security (corrupted by Innes) take his side and begin to open fire on both civilians and Kingship. Alpha makes their way to the top of the building, where all of them are incapacitated by an apparent earthquake that destroys many parts of the hotel. While Woods and Sharp are knocked out, Baker and Cooper wake up, however Baker is unable to move. Innes is about to execute Baker when Cooper tackles him, and forces him to drop his Colt Diamondback. Cooper and Innes then enter a fist fight. During the fight, Cooper is stabbed three times by Innes after he [Innes] gets the upper hand. Before Cooper is stabbed, Baker crawls over to the dropped Colt Diamondback and picks it up. He then shoots Innes twice, killing him. As Cuban authorities surround the scene, Baker fades out.

After the President of the United States got involved in the situation, Baker, Sharp, Woods, and a wounded Cooper are all released from Cuba. Following this, Baker becomes Baltimore's most trusted operator.
