Supertanker Capture Version 1
In 2008, after being welcomed into the JBA, Emile gives Sam his first assignment, which is to capture a supertanker. Sam parachutes from a plane into a clearing where he gets his equipment organized before jumping into the water. He swims to a camp where he sabotages the generators, detonates charges throughout the camp and then carries on to the supertanker. Upon reaching the ship, Moss orders Sam to take out the whole crew so that Massoud Ibn-Yussif can take over the ship. Sam makes his way to the stern and begins clearing the ship. Soon Enrica orders Sam to disable the antenna's communications. He makes his way to the antenna while continuing to clear the ship and contacts Lambert before disabling communications. Clearing the ship, he makes his way to the ventilation room to place a gas grenade inside the ship's ventilation system. He then reaches the command bridge where he finds the Captain. Moss orders Sam to kill the Captain as well. Sam follows the Captain to the bow and into the boiler room, killing the remains of the crew along the way. Moss soon finds out that the Captain intends to sink the ship and orders him to kill the captain ASAP. The only way to deal with him is by up close and personal, anything else he will burn the fuel tank and the supertanker will blow up. Sam does so and extracts by Mi-8 on the helipad and heads for Shanghai.
