<p><strong>SPECIAL ACTIVITIES (A Jack Kincaid Origin Story</strong><strong>)</strong></p>
<p><strong>Ev</strong><strong>ery legend has a beginning. Every scar tells a story. This is the mission that broke Jack Kincaid.</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Before the boat, before Florida, before the world knew him as Kincaid, he was 'Mako'—a young, razor-sharp operative in the CIA's most elite and deniable unit: the <strong>Special Activities Division</strong>. Trained by the brilliant, enigmatic Marcus Thorne, Mako is dispatched to the gritty, corrupt Black Sea port of <strong>Constanța, Romania</strong>, deep in the shadows of the early 2000s.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>His mission: infiltrate the powerful <strong>smuggling ring</strong> of Viktor Chernov, a ruthless ex-Securitate crime lord. Kincaid finds his way inside via Ana Ivanescu, a courageous local woman trapped within Chernov's network who agrees to become his asset, feeding him critical intel on illicit arms shipments and dockside corruption.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>But Ana's intel uncovers a secret far more valuable, and dangerous, than smuggled contraband: Chernov controls access to potentially massive <strong>Black Sea natural gas fields</strong>. Suddenly, powerful <strong>US energy companies</strong> and their political allies in Washington take intense interest. Kincaid’s handler, the pragmatic Thorne, issues new orders that chill Mako to the bone: the mission has pivoted. Forget the smuggling; ensure Chernov remains stable enough to cut an energy deal vital to American <strong>geopolitical</strong> interests.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>When Chernov demands Ana's life as part of his price for cooperation, Thorne gives the final, brutal directive: the asset is expendable. Sacrifice the source to secure the deal. For Kincaid, this is the ultimate <strong>betrayal</strong>—by his mentor, by the Agency, by the very principles he thought he served.</p>
<p>Choosing conscience over cold calculation, Kincaid goes <strong>rogue</strong>. He launches a desperate, high-stakes bid to extract Ana before Chernov's thugs or Thorne's unseen 'cleaners' can silence her forever. What follows is a tense, breakneck race through the dangerous streets of Constanța and across the Bulgarian border, culminating in a devastating confrontation where loyalty costs everything.</p>
