Archive #1: Where It Ends[]

The recording starts up at the Federal Communications Commission office, where the group is getting ready to discuss their situation. They enter the office and the commission meeting starts with them addressing why they enacted the cancelation. This was due to a concern from a parent, who reported the show airing on a children's network despite it being considered rated R. There were not even any warnings put in before the episodes. Rico then calls Justice, who happens to be visiting her mother. He explains the situation to her, but she says she can't help them as, while she seeks justice for all, she knows what they did was wrong and hangs up politely.

Sheldon asks Adele to give them some time to think of a solution, and she accepts. While waiting, Adele informs them that Xévir was put on the sex offenders registry for implied advances. After this revelation, Sheldon finally contacts the next person he believes could help, Izzy. However, just like with Justice, Izzy is unable to defend the actions even with her skills. After this, the group accepts defeat, but then Rico starts to get infuriated once he remembers Garland was who started the mess. He confronts her (she is a few seats down), but then also remembers that she was only doing what she thought was good. As such, she walks to Adele and tells her she will end the show herself, only for one of the commissioners to reveal that they already did that. The recording ends abruptly there.

Archive #2: Plain Sight[]

This recording begins with a shot of Dallas' skyline, and we zoom in to the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport. We zoom in even further and see Sheldon walking off a plane with some luggage. He does not have his vest on. Before he can leave the airport, though, he needs to go under inspection. This includes the luggage bag, which turns out to only have normal things in it. He boards another plane, but this time the location is kept secret. Before the plane takes off, the recording glitches.

This fast-forwards it to a later point, where he is getting off the plane. This time the luggage bag moves and a person working with the airline sees this, and promptly checks it. However, she is unable to find anything suspicious so she lets him go. He drives to his house in southern Abilene, which has been abandoned for decades. He then opens the passenger door, where he put the luggage bag, and takes it out, leaving the truck behind. When he slowly opens the door, a bear lunges at him, only to hug him instead. He tries getting out of its grip, but it is too strong. Fortunately, it is distracted once it smells the bag, letting go of him once it happens.

Sheldon offers to bring the bear along and it accepts. It opens a trapdoor that leads into an underground tunnel (which Sheldon seems to be familiar with). They stroll through the tunnel and eventually come across another trapdoor, which the bear opens. Sheldon mentions that the house they are currently in is his family's old farmhouse and that the log cabin was a decoy in the event that someone was watching them.

He goes to the living room and empties the luggage bag, with the bear smelling the toothpaste tube. This is the first thing Sheldon picks up and opens, with it being revealed that Rico was somehow in there the whole time. The latter wakes up, still weak from the experience and not remembering what happened. He asks where he is, with Sheldon explaining that after Adele started putting out an alert for them, everyone affected split up. She even had Rico turn in his gear, explainingthe bandage on his arm. He figured it would be best to enter an abandoned log cabin he played in as a child and use the tunnel he dug between it and where they are, throwing any watchers off. The building they are in is his childhood home, situated right between San Angelo and Abilene.

Before he can talk more, the bear starts smelling Rico, seemingly attracted to his T-shirt. Suddenly, its scars start to heal, and it seems to like him, which Sheldon points out. While the bear is sniffing the T-shirt, Sheldon continues his explanation. Smuggling Rico was not too tough since his method came from an old Agency trick. The recording glitches again, only for it to end.

Archive #3: Fall In Love[]

After the events of Archive #1, Mira moved back to El Abismo, but kept the memories from the missions she took part in. However, one memory she wants to forget is Agosto Velasquez, who made her life miserable. She collects all memorabilia of him and throws it in a trash can. She then goes outside, where it is revealed that she kept the cards on the table after all this time. She sits down on one of the chairs and starts lamenting over her past memories, but we can't see the flashbacks because this is a recording.

After she flashbacks, she goes back inside, only to find Agosto in her bed. He wants to make things up to her, but she refuses as what he did was unforgivable. After some persuasion, she gives in, letting him stay but telling him they are not getting married again. She says that this time he has nothing important to steal, as she, Rico and Sheldon all turned their equipment to Adele. She then asks him how he got out of prison, with him answering with good behavior. He goes on to promise that he will never wrong her again, offering to be her "friend with benefits" as he became wealthy from all his arms dealing. She agrees, but warns him to not cross her again, which he accepts.

The camera then cuts to someone waiting outside and listening in on the conversation. Once the conversation is over, they open the door and grabs Mira by the arm while Agosto is in the bathroom. When they are outside, they tell her he is César. He has been watching Agosto ever since the latter got out of jail and suspects he has not really reformed. He has many other theories, but does not reveal them yet as he needs the others to hear them. Mira tells him she doesn't expect to regroup any time soon, explaining the situation with Adele.

César tries convincing her otherwise, as he knows they will come back together soon. He them warns her that she must call off her deal with Agosto, still insisting he has not changed. At first she is reluctant and wants to settle the deal, but when Agosto walks out of the bathroom she decides to trust César. She starts telling Agosto that she wants nothing to do with him now that she thought things over, which he takes calmly and moves out.

After that is settled, Mira talks with César, asking how he knows about the reunion. Before he can tell her, he looks around for cameras as he believes they are being watched. He is soon proven right, prompting him to stomp on the camera, ending the recording.

Archive #4: Something in the Orange[]

We start this recording in New York City, where we see sights in Brooklyn. Garland is adjusting to her life in the borough after disbanding a week ago. She is walking down a sidewalk when a paper lands on her face, seemingly causing her to scream, only for it to be revealed as a death threat. She reads closer and sees that the threat was addressed to someone else. She throws it and continues on her way to wherever she is going.

After a few minutes, she reaches her destination, a high school she went to. Once entering, she hears echoes of laughter throughout the halls. She walks into the library, where a man is at one of the tables, reading a book. She walks up to him and he is startled at her sudden appearance. Garland screams, only for it to come out silent. She knows this person, but does not remember his name. He introduces himself as Cameron, with her now remembering him as a classmate she had in her senior year. Cameron even recognizes her once he sees her.

Garland then asks him if he was following her, as she felt that feeling. He rightfully denies it, as he was in the library for a few hours. Before they can continue talking, the footage cuts abruptly.

Trivia[]

General[]

  • The character recording the footage is currently unknown.
  • Archive #2 reveals a couple things:
    • The location of Sheldon's childhood home.
    • Adele is looking for (at least) Rico and Sheldon.
  • While not explicitly stated, Sheldon took Rico with him because the latter's house burnt down in the coup d'etat that was first mentioned in Just Cause 3.
  • This is the first mission page since Interference to not get its own title card.
  • The subtext for the second archive is a phrase that means "in a place that is clearly visible". While it refers to Rico and Sheldon hiding in one of the first places Adele's soldiers would look, it also doubles as a pun as the archive is set in the plains biome.
  • Each archive from #2 to #4 starts at a similar time of the same day.
  • Archive #4: Something in the Orange is the only one to not at least mention Adele.
  • Archive #4 reveals a couple things:
    • Garland was raised in Brooklyn, New York City.
    • She went to school at Midwood High School.
    • Cameron was not the one recording the footage during the Archives.
  • The "orange" part of Archive #4's subtext is meant to refer to Garland's color motif, which is orange.

Cultural references[]

  • Archive #1's subtext is a reference to a country song of the same name by Bailey Zimmerman.
  • Archive #2 - The cabin scene with the bear is a reference to a similar encounter in Red Dead Redemption 2, only this time the bear does not want to kill the person entering the log cabin.
  • Archive #3's subtext is a reference to a country song of the same name by Bailey Zimmerman. The fourth archive will be have a different source for its reference.
  • Archive #4's subtext references a country song of the same name by Zach Bryan.
  • The paper flying in Garland's face and her reaction is a reference to Oddballs, where Roxanne had a similar reaction to paper (as she was a rock). Both characters were voiced by the same person, Misty Lee.
