them” mindset, and their refusal to share knowledge with Rainbow – despite benefiting from Rainbow's knowledge themselves. Again, we're seeing tension between members of the original team and Nighthaven over Nighthaven’s increasingly apparent “us vs.
She doesn’t want Nighthaven operators training too closely with Rainbow because she doesn’t want Rainbow ops getting “too close to their proprietary technology”. In his device evaluation, Twitch writes about how Kali is unhappy Wamai is spending time in the shooting range with Fuze. This is a recurring theme that crops up MANY times again – Nighthaven not letting Rainbow look at or benefit from their tech, despite supposedly being part of the team. Rainbow were told they're not allowed to break down or try to improve any Nighthaven gadgets, or else get sued for infringing on their "intellectual property". Her device evaluation shows that Mira and Thatcher attempted to look at her gadget as part of the normal R&D process (looking for opportunities for improvements, learnings for the team, etc.) but were swiftly shut down by Kali’s lawyers serving them a cease and desist. It talks about her unclear motivations and no obvious sense of national pride or cause – something Harry says puts her at odds with Ash who is fundamentally cause driven.
Kali's biography paints her as an ultra-rich, inaccessible, and arrogant personality who is both brilliant and difficult to work with. Already we can see that Nighthaven is a completely different organisation to our traditional group. Unlike everyone else, Kali isn't impressed by Rainbow's name or mission and demands more money from them for participating. This is the first proper reveal of Nighthaven's underlying motivations – money and prestige. Seconds later her phone beeps and she comments that Rainbow have matched her demands. "You think I run a charity? I have investors, unlike you. "If it's too high then we've nothing left to discuss." Kali is on the phone to who we can assume is a representative from Rainbow, arguing about the price they've offered to get her and Wamai on-board. That seemingly depicts the moment they're recruited by Harry. This heavily teases the idea of impending conflicts of ideology on Team Rainbow, with a group of wildcards they don't know and don't trust thrown into the mix.Īs well as the short video above, we're given a Ash is very much NOT happy with this justification and tells Harry that he’s “making a mistake”. If they’re a part of Rainbow he can keep an eye on them. Harry lets her in on his 'real' and secret reason for bringing them in – they're damned good and he doesn’t want them to be hired by Rainbow's opposition.
The implication is that operators from national militaries/organisations have fundamentally incompatible ideals to mercenaries, with one side enlisting for the ‘cause' and the other for fame and fortune. More importantly, it shows a conversation between Harry and Ash where Ash expresses disbelief and discontent at Harry inviting a bunch of mercenaries to Rainbow. rescuing a stricken freighter from pirates somewhere out at sea. Kali and Wamai are recruited as part of a Nighthaven – a PMC (private military company) invented by Ubisoft that's heavily suggested to play a big role in the lore moving forward. To try and clear up some of the confusion, and provide a detailed breakdown of WHY our favourite operators are drawing lines in the sand over Kali and co., I've created a complete summary of Nighthaven's controversial history in Rainbow and a timeline of the events (and source assets) that lead to our boiling point explosion at the Six Invitational.ġ) Operation Shifting Tides – Rescue at Sea Animation Ubisoft like to drop tiny snippets at a time across tons of different mediums and it can be really REALLY hard to follow at scale. The story is buried in the lore released in the last year or so, but is very easy to miss. The events shown in the video weren't just the fallout from one incident, but from lots and lots of incidents that have contributed to mounting tension between Nighthaven and Team Rainbow's traditional operators for quite some time. Combined with the very Civil-War esque art Ubisoft are putting out around the event, it seems like everyone is overreacting to a whole lot of nothing. Even more people have said they don't understand why ops are choosing sides over something so small and inconsequential. I've seen a lot of people here express confusion as to WHY Ash felt the need to punch Kali over a silly training game.
