Fisher soon uncovers a deeper conspiracy: a plot that threatens to destabilize the world order and spark nuclear conflict.
Fisher, like all Third Echelon Splinter Cells, is granted the use of the Fifth Freedom�unprecedented latitude to safeguard America's security by any means necessary. Acting alone, he uses terrorists' own tactics against them. Should he fall to enemy hands, the U.S. government will disavow any knowledge of his existence.
No more time for negotiations and diplomacy. The time for decisive action has come. Strike from the darkness� Fade away. You are Sam Fisher. You are a Splinter Cell.
