It’s a blow to the Soviet operation to infiltrate American intelligence.
Robert Aldrich – If you successfully decrypt the drive for Operation Chaos and assassinate Aldrich, then he’ll no longer be a problem for the United States. Lazar or Park – The character that you save in End of the Line will remain alive at the end of The Final Countdown, and the character left behind will have their body found to be returned to their family. Anton Volkov – Similarly, Volkov will play nicely with the CIA if he is captured instead of killed in Brick in the Wall, and the Soviets would want to eventually retrieve him. He will be an asset to the CIA if you capture him, but the Soviets will want him dead. Quasim Javadi – In the Nowhere Left to Run mission, you can kill, release, or capture Quasim. These briefings will sum up some character fates depending on some decisions you made through the campaign, or how your side missions ended up.
You’ll hear a briefing by either Hudson or Perseus, depending on if you get The Final Countdown or Ashes to Ashes endings, respectively.
