"A new counterterrorist organization has been formed, called Op-Center. Its first foreign mission is in Korea, where North Korean terrorists are preparing to launch missles at Japan. They had performed a terrorist action in South Korea, against top government officials a few weeks before. General Mike Rodgers and the Striker counterterrorist team (endorsed by Op-Center) are ready to oppose this missle launching. "
