1. We meet Rainier and Randall, members of supersecret NSA division known as Black Matter Ops (their existence cannot be proven but their force on the world stage is irresistible) who are sent to Syria to investigate Islamist elements taking control of the government
-Introduced to Randall's love interest who fears his career is ruining their relationship
-Rainier worries he is losing his edge
-The Syria Mission (code-named Operation: Steely Condor) is an easy one designed to get the rookie Randall acquainted with BMO missions and to usher the aging Rainier into an early retirement
-Rainier expresses resentment at his superiors for his treatment after years of loyal service
2. Randall and Rainier arrive in Syria
-Randall's love interest stops talking to him, Rainier tries to keep him focused on the mission
-Nothing seems out of the ordinary is taking place in Syria, Randall and Rainier become frustrated and make plans to go home
-Just before they are about to leave, Randall intercepts a communique from the highest levels of Syrian government about a shipment of nuclear weapons from an unnamed Russian satellite state
-Randall sends this information back to Washington who directs them to keep on the trail
-Rainier commits a crucial blunder, exposing Randall and Rainier to danger and they escape the country just in time
3. Back in Washington
-Rainier faces harsh criticism from his boss
-Rainier is only saved from a disgraceful firing by Randall's passionate plea for sympathy
-Randall is upset that Rainier does not seem more grateful that he had put his own young career on the line to save his mentor
-Since they cannot place another plant in Syria, the two spies are relegated to pouring over communication from the Syrian embassy along all communication from the Russian embassy and the embassies of former Soviet states
-Randall discovers a message speaking of a Syrian agent working in a shadowy NSA organization, Rainier says "why didn't I see this first?" and takes the information to his superiors
-Randall becomes frustrated at a seeming lack of action on the part of the higher-ups in the BMO, Rainier assures him that his bosses are concerned and are looking into it but must remain quiet about the situation so as not to arouse suspicion and hope the mole makes a mistake
-Randall tries to break the code himself but fails time and time again. Frustrated, he seeks Rainier for advice but finds him handing documents to the Ukranian ambassador
-Randall begins to distrust Rainier and follows him to the Syrian embassy. Randall stakes him out behind the embassy but Rainier sneaks up on him and puts a gun to his head. Rainier admits he is the double agent and prepares to kill Randall, but he gets away. This starts a citywide chase that ends inside the Pentagon where Rainier corners Randall.
"It's over, Randall," said Rainier, panting. He had to catch his breath and sighed, already relieved it was done. It was really done. He had won. "It's over," he finally summoned the strength to say agin. Sweating and breathing heavily, he cocked the hammer of his gun and raised it to Randall's forehead. He closed his eyes and took a breath -- he thought he might be too exhausted to finish it after all -- but his finger gripped the trigger and then CRASH he was hit by a comet.
It happened that quick. One second Randall was staring at his death down the barrel of a handgun and the next he was sitting in front of a smoldering comet that had crashed through the ceiling and landed directly on Rainier's head. His badge was the only thing that peeked out from underneath the space rock. Randall picked it up and tore it into little pieces.
It was done.
