The Raid on Meta Global Headquarters was a minor confrontation of Syphon Filter: The Omega Strain in which Gabe Logan attempted to storm Niculescu's funds tower with an IPCA team in his obsession with the art collector. Despite Alex Birchim's orders and Lian Xing's protests, the plan followed that of Logan's.
Although Gabe did not find physical evidence that Niculescu was behind the Syphon Filter fiasco, he was redirected to the man's estate, where he then rescued Mara Aramov and found the location of Ivankov's base. The IPCA also acquired proof that Birchim was in Niculescu's payroll, the corrupt official being bribed illegally. Additionally, the billionaire was revealed to be involved with the ALA.
Finally, the group planted a virus into the art collector's computer system, causing the data to be sent to the IPCA's network; it was wiped out from the art collector's and thus leading to Niculescu's death at the hands of mercenaries whose information was kept within his network.
Events
Mara Aramov's argument with Mihai Niculescu
"We have to warn him, Mihai. Ivankov needs to go through it. You said you would stop it."
"I don't give a damn about the Russians."
"No, of course you don't. Let him murder ten million Moscowites so long as the stock price goes up."
"You didn't seem so troubled when it was Washington."
"Frankly, I'm surprised, Mihai, that you haven't found a way to profit from this... but you have. Of course you have."
"We have products to move, Mara. Anything can be profited from."
When she meets with Niculescu, Mara reminds him that Ivankov must be stopped, but the art collector reveals his intentions not to care about the Russians. Mara resolves to stop Niculescu, but a drink that she swallowed was drugged, and the man decides to silence her.
Lian Xing's argument with Gabe Logan
"I don't care what Birchim says. I'm going to Zurich!"
"Gabe! You can't! You're gonna jeorpardise the entire Agency!"
"He's the only lead we've got."
"Listen to me. This isn't critical! Dr. E is close to a vaccine for the virus. It won't be a threat much longer. We're close to finding Mara, we have the North Korean connection to follow up, and Ivankov-"
"I don't give a damn about Ivankov! I want Niculescu!"
"Gabe, stop! You're gonna risk everything we've worked for!"
"No! They risked everything. They did! I'm gonna make sure their deaths mean something!"
"You don't think I want that too? But you're doing exactly what Birchim wants! This isn't about Niculescu anymore, Gabe, it's about saving lives!... You're doing this to find Ivankov's base, right Gabe? You're not doing it just to get to Niculescu."
"If I get Niculescu, I get Ivankov."
Warned to ignore Niculescu at all costs, Gabe Logan decides to defy Alex Birchim and investigate Niculescu, telling Lian he doesn't care about Ivankov. He wants to make sure Imani Grey, William Crusher and Alima Haddad didn't die in vain: in order to get Ivankov, he must first get Niculescu.
Searching the lower level
Gabe Logan and an IPCA recruit enter the tower via an armoured truck. While Logan heads to Niculescu's office, the agent investigates the lower level, planting a camera transceiver to bypass the elaborate security system and restoring power to the elevators. The recruit also deactivates the laser system and acquires the security commander's thumbprint before heading into the computer labs. In a isolated room, they acquire ALA financial records that prove Niculescu funded the terrorists. As per Gabe's instructions, the guards are nonlethally neutralised since Logan has no proof of their involvement with Niculescu.
Searching the computers
Next, the agent installs data transmitters within the computer bank and enters the computer mainframe. They insert a virus into the system and escape, avoiding the alarm from being triggered.
Searching the vaults
Another elevator brings the recruit to the vaults, which they rustle through and override the laser
