Syphon Filter: The Omega Strain is the next installment of the Syphon Filter storyline. Elsa Weissenger has come to Gabe Logan with evidence that a multinational corporation has been behind the Syphon Filter conspiracy from the beginning. Mara Aramov is connected to this consortium in some way that Gabe does not understand. But here is what Gabe does know: Mara has escaped custody, outbreaks of a deadly new mutation of the virus are appearing all over the globe, and Chechnyan rebels are selling the virus to other terrorists. The world hovers on the edge of catastrophe as Gabe races against the clock to find Mara, destroy the terrorist organizations who plan to use the virus, and prevent an attack on Moscow which could trigger the next world war. On top of this, the Syphon Filter virus seems to be mutating uncontrollably. If a cure is not found soon, it will live up to its name and become the Omega Strain- the end of us all.
