Three years would pass, and Samjo would eventually unite the remnants with various anti-government revolutionary groups. Now fighting under a common banner as the ''[[Syndikat|L'Ensemble]]'', Samjo provides the movement with the muscle it needs to overthrow the government.

Samjo soon received word that an [[Santiago|old man]] was seeking to acquire a supply of anti-malaria pills. He looked into the man's background, and discovered that he was a former soldier who had served with the French Foreign Legion. A man of his skills was in short supply, though Samjo wasn't quite sure of where his loyalties stood.

To test him, Samjo ordered the man (who identified himself as "Santiago") to demolish a safehouse in Vagalala. One of the [[Oringo Madaki|organisation's informants]] had also been captured by the police and was being held at a nearby safehouse. Santiago would have to rescue him before the latter broke and divulged information to the government. Despite the odds, he quickly accomplished both tasks with little difficulty.

Impressed with his feats, Samjo revealed his identity and offered Santiago the option to freely stay at L'Ensemble establishments and purchasing goods from black markets. He would also reward Santiago with the medicine that he desired, offering to provide a steady stream of pills so as long as he acted in the best interests of the organisation.

Santiago would quickly prove his worth to the cause. The old fighter had supported numerous attacks on CSAT and government facilities, salvaged millions of dollars worth in military equipment, and helped perform smuggling runs between the islands.

However on the way out of the island, Samjo contacted Santiago and revealed that he knew that the old fighter was collaborating with [[NATO]] [[CTRG|spies]]. Most importantly, he knew that the malaria outbreak was artificially induced, and that Santiago held the key to a vaccine in his hands. Such a vaccine would be worth an incalculable amount of money on the black market.

Samjo "suggested" that Santiago hand over the vaccine to L'Ensemble...or else. To further incentivise the latter, he ordered his men to round up Santiago's [[Drábek|doctor]] and his patients to use as leverage.

Sadistic and prone to violent outbursts, Samjo is in many ways a carbon copy of his former boss. Those who dared to defy (or attempted to defy) his orders often ended up in less than desirable situations; something which his underlings and associates alike understood well.

Old Man (2038)
With the nation divided by political instability and the sudden outbreak of a super-strain of malaria, Samjo's organisation would find itself at the helm of a violent revolution against the pro-CSAT government.
As the crisis worsened, CSAT's medical teams were accompanied by increasing numbers of armed soldiers. Seeing their "assistance" as nothing more than an armed occupation, Samjo began targeting pro-CSAT politicians and launching attacks upon the foreigners.
Captured politicians and their supporters were tortured and executed, while isolated CSAT patrols were ambushed and their depots raided. Car bombs were detonated outside of government facilities and police stations, helping to stoke the flames of rebellion and strike fear into the hearts of every officer.
All the while, the organisation was inundated with cash generated from the sales of cheap anti-malaria pills on the black market; both genuine and counterfeit copies.
Samjo soon received word that an old man was seeking to acquire a supply of anti-malaria pills. He looked into the man's background, and discovered that he was a former soldier who had served with the French Foreign Legion. A man of his skills was in short supply, though Samjo wasn't quite sure of where his loyalties stood.

Santiago would quickly prove his worth to the cause. The old fighter had supported numerous attacks on CSAT and government facilities, salvaged millions of dollars worth in military equipment, and helped perform smuggling runs between the islands.
Pleased with their fruitful relationship, Samjo gladly offered numerous services and benefits at black markets and L'Ensemble-controlled safehouses. In exchange, Samjo provided Santiago with the manpower, medicine and cheap weapons that he needed. Thanks to Samjo's generosity, the old man would eventually succeed at infiltrating into the main CSAT base at Tuvanaka. Whilst Samjo's men distracted the guards, Santiago managed to destroy one of the large biodomes.
