Biography[]

2004: Georgian Information Crisis[]

Morris Odell gave a report regarding the enormous wave of political change taking place in the former Soviet republic of Georgia in 2004, detailing the bloodless coup d'etat spearheaded by Georgian industrial baron Kombayn Nikoladze following the assassination of the preceding president by Abkhazian separatists. Later as relations between Georgia and NATO broke down upon the discovery of Nikoladze's secret invasion of neighboring Azerbaijan, Odell provided extensive coverage of the escalating Georgian Information Crisis and the concurrent global manhunt for Nikoladze upon his escape from international authorities. During these events, Odell was host to the news of American POWs set to be executed by their Georgian captors overseas during a live internet broadcast; these were thwarted covertly by the efforts of the NSA's Third Echelon. Finally, Odell announced the death of Kombayn Nikoladze upon his alleged attempt to oust Acting President Varlam Cristavi, in a doctored report that omitted any mention of the NSA's involvement in this or of the failed nuclear strike precipitated by Nikoladze against Washington, D.C.

2006: Indonesian Crisis[]

By 2006, Morris Odell had transferred over to the World News Media as its lead anchor. With the outbreak of the crisis Indonesia in which the U.S. dramatically escalated its military and political support of East Timor in the face of Indonesian opposition, Odell covered America's military operations throughout Southeast Asia. Odell also covered the alleged outbreak of smallpox in Springfield, Texas, an event provoked by the Indonesia Darah Dan Doa in retaliation for the American intervention. Odell would eventually announce the capture of their charismatic leader, Suhadi Sadono at the conclusion of the crisis.

2007: NYC Cyber Attacks/East Asian Crisis[]

In 2007, Odell again served as WNM's main source to the American public as tensions escalated in East Asia with China and North Korea protested Japan's establishment of the Information Self-Defense Force, an act interpreted as a violation of the 1945 postwar constitution. Odell found himself witnessing the imminent outbreak of World War III when during WNM's Independence Day broadcast their interview with the crew of the'USS Clarence E. Walsh was interrupted by a North Korean missile attack against the vessel in the South China Sea. This live broadcast captured the last moments of the highly-advanced warship and her crew as it was completely destroyed in the unprovoked attack. Odell and his team then covered the American response to the attack, as the situation boiled over into open war between the United States and North Korea upon the latter's invasion of South Korea. Odell expressed open horror and disbelief at the enormity of the death and destruction taking place across Korea as the U.S. rallied to the South's defense. Odell would later cover the conclusion of the conflict when it came to light that an American third party and their Japanese co-conspirators were the true instigators of the conflict.

During the course of these events, Odell covered the diplomatic efforts of Chinese Ambassador Long Dan to negotiate a peaceful resolution to the deteriorating situation between China and their Pacific neighbors.

2008: JBA Crisis/Red Mecury Incident[]

If Fisher disabled the bomb on Enricas cellphone then the bomb would not explode, but if Fisher protected Enricas cellphone then the bomb will be detonated. Which means 2,000 people dies. At the end of the mission there will be a cutsene and Morris Odell will appear. It will show a picture next to him showing that the ship in cozumel exploded.

At the end of the game Morris Odell will apear. At the 8th mission the player will be given a choice to disable the LA and Nashville bombs. If Fisher disables both bombs, then at the end of the game Morris Odell will appear saying that a terrorist attack has been stopped. But if the play only disables one of the the two bombs, then Morris Odell will appear and saying that a bomb exploded, It can be either on LA or in Nashville. But if the player does not disable both of the bombs then Morris Odell will say that a terrorist attack has been launched and millions of Americans have been killed.
