User:Station7/Season 5 and 7 questions

Season 5
Why were both groups on both seasons not working together (Dawn Brigade and Sentox nerve gas conspiracy) and the season 7 antagonists? --Station7 16:53, July 9, 2012 (UTC)
 * Station could you rephrase the question? I'm not certain I understand. 03:35, July 10, 2012 (UTC)
 * Sorry for the late reaction. I mean; why were the groups in season 5 and 7 not working together. The groups in season 5 should work together as a whole and in season 7 they should work together as a whole. Why were they masterminding their own conspiracies against each other? --Station7 (talk) 14:11, July 19, 2012 (UTC)
 * Well, if I'm understanding the question correctly, the different groups did not work together within each season because they had dramatically different goals. The American Sentox conspirators did not care about the Dawn Brigade's goal of national independence. And the Dawn Brigade did not know they were going to be deceived. So they only worked together until Schaeffer was caught by Erwich.
 * And as for Season 7, Jonas Hodges was originally one of the 13 prion conspirators until he defected from the group. He was deceiving them all along to capture the weapon for his own Starkwood purposes, but failed. It's all about deception: the different masterminds have different goals. 20:33, July 19, 2012 (UTC)

Season 7

 * If Blue Rook allows me to butt in, I can give you the runaround:
 * The whole conspiracy was - for most of its part - organized by the Prion variant cabal, led by Alan Wilson.
 * Their intention was to launch several attacks (using the prion variant) to destabilize the US while gaining military power and control for themselves.
 * To develop the prion variant, the cabal first gave support to Benjamin Juma and the People's Freedom Army in Sangala for another coup d'etat (this is what happens in Redemption).
 * Once Juma had power, he allowed the cabal to develop and test the prion variant in Sangala.
 * The development of the prion variant was led by Starkwood, which was owned by one of the members of the cabal, Jonas Hodges.
 * Juma's coup and his subsequent civil rights violations prompted the US to consider military action against Sangala.
 * At this point, the whole conspiracy unravels in two directions: First, the attacks orchestrated by Iké Dubaku and then Juma on Washington, to force the US to retreat from Sangala. And second, the arrival of the prion variant from Sangala to the Port of Alexandria and their attempted use by Starkwood.
 * Dubaku and Juma planned several attacks to force President Taylor to retreat from Sangala: the near-crash of Flight 117 and Flight 35, the crash of Flight 471 and Flight 131, the kidnapping of Ule Matobo, and the attack on the White House. Tony Almeida had infiltrated one of the groups that collaborated with this attacks.
 * Once the prion variant arrived that night at the Port of Alexandria, Hodges decided to use it himself by launching an attack with Python missiles. This was done against the wishes of the cabal, mostly to benefit Starkwood instead of the companies of his co-conspirators.
 * After Starkwood's attack was foiled, Tony and Robert Galvez stole a canister of the prion variant and brought it to the cabal.
 * The cabal planned to use the remaining canister to develop more prion variants, in order to orchestrate their attacks later that year.
 * Tony convinced the cabal to lead an attack that same night, taking advantage of the already weakened government. Obviously, he was doing this to get closer to Wilson and his eventual revenge.
 * The planned attack was to force an innocent pawn, Jibraan Al-Zarian, to release the prion variant in Washington Center Station.
 * When Jack foiled the plan, Tony convinced the cabal to kidnap Jack and harvest the prion variant from him, since he had been infected.
 * When Wilson decided to personally oversee the operation, Tony tried to kill him, but they were both captured.
 * I think that's basically it. I don't know if I left something out, but I tried to be as simple as I could. My apologies to Blue Rook for butting in. Thief12 19:07, October 16, 2011 (UTC)

Why was Jonas Hodges going to President Allison Taylor. He is a terrorist, it doesn't make any sense. He knew he would be arrested or at least could knew. --Station7 (talk) 15:56, July 27, 2012 (UTC)
 * Hodges was 100% confident that he could not be arrested because he was successfully holding the country hostage with the Python missiles, and he did not think anyone could destroy the WMDs. The trip to the White House was to personally force Taylor to accept his terms: make Starkwood a new branch of the military. Overall, he was much too overconfident and walked straight into the lions' den. 17:24, July 27, 2012 (UTC)
 * How you write it is priceless. You really can write good. :) He could better stay on his own ground. If you think about, Hodges is actually not a really smart terrorist...same is for Alan Wilson. Mandy at the other hand is smarter. Get's arrested, but is still somewhere in the 24 world. --Station7 (talk) 19:21, July 27, 2012 (UTC)
