El Cerebro  "An engineering genius, Mendez earned advanced degrees in the US that were paid for by Nidia Flores and the cartel." |
Karen Bowman: Most cartel members are violent idiots who're too high to care, but Patricio Mendez Valle, aka El Cerebro, is an oddball genius who's too fucking smart to bother. Nidia Flores spotted his intellect when he was just a kid. She sent him to college in Mexico and later grad school in California. Word is he was too strange and misanthropic for even that crowd, but he popped up on our radar. El Cerebro heads up the cartel's submersible program out of Caimanes. From Caimanes, his semi-submersibles, sometimes carrying as much as ten tons of cocaine, head downriver to Brazil, then to the Atlantic. From there, floating just a few feet below the surface, they can go all the way to Mexico. Even as far as Florida. But smuggling with these semi-submersibles will soon be a thing of the past. He and Nidia have ambitions to make reusable, fully-submersible craft. Think what a multi-billion dollar criminal enterprise could do with a fleet of submarines. Smuggling would just be the start. If we're going to take down these subs, we need El Cerebro and his jagged-ass brain intact and cooperative. Just remember, he's Nidia's pet project; she won't give him up easy. |

Health Disaster  "A news report about a mosquito-borne breakout of elephantiasis that's disabled 20% of the population. NGOs could quickly fix this with antibiotics if the government hadn't kicked all the NGOs out at El Sueño request." |
NEWS: The situation in Eastern Caimanes is tragic. Populations in this jungle area of Bolivia have been plagued by Lymphaitic filariasis, or "LF". A parasitic worm spread by mosquitos, LF can in many cases cause swelling in the arms and legs of those suffering from the condition. Here in Caimanes, more than twenty percent of the population is suffering from elephantiasis, resulting in a working population that is largely disabled. The antibiotic doxycycline is a simple and affordable treatment for LF: however there is little here in the form of government aide for these people, and since the government expelled the majority of the NGOs working in the area, the population is left to fend for itself. |
Meeting Minutes  "A couple of El Cerebro's assistants bitch about how no one can understand a thing he says." |
Assistant #1: So... What did you... Assistant #2: I didn't get a damn word he said. Assistant #1: I know, right? Assistant #2: Fucking Cerebro, might as well speak Chinese for all I know. Took me months to get invited to these meetings. I though it'd clarify what we're supposed to build here in Caimanes. In fact, it's making it worse. Assistant #1: Orale! I don't know who thought it was a good idea to make El Cerebro a buchon, but the culero who did should be fed his own balls. Assistant #2: Yet, they say he's some kind of genius. Genius?! The other day I had to stay late at the lab to fix the propellers on the new sub prototype. I saw El Cerebro, lying down on the floor of his office, all lights turned off, a thick line of coke drawn all around his body. Assistant #1: What was he doing? Assistant #2: Just lying there. Staring at the ceiling. Mumbling random numbers. Assistant #1: That's fucked up. I don't know what drug he's on, but it sure is more potent that the yeyo they give us. Assistant #2: Hehehe... Claro. |
Mayday  "The captain of El Cerebro's supposed super-sub calls in a mayday when he runs the boat aground." |
Captain: Manta One to Caimanes Station, Manta One to Caimanes Station, please come in! We have run aground approximately three hundred miles south of Santarem Station! Caimanes Station, please come in! We have run aground. I say again, we have run aground! We passed Kayapo village about ten miles south of our location. We will abandon ship and attempt to reestablish communication once we arrive there... Lieutenant: We walking back? Through the fucking jungle? There's jaguars in that jungle, guey. I don't fuck with no fucking jaguars. Captain: Well, we're not staying here. Manta One to Caimanes Station, we are abandoning ship. I say again, we are abandoning ship... |
 "Red October" |
The blueprint of a submarine, likely annotated by Santa Blanca engineers. The cartel has been known to use modified versions of Russian submarines to smuggle cocaine to Florida though the tributaries of the Amazon and the Orinoco, and then through the Atlantic ocean. |
 "Bolivia Buchon Blog" |
Lymphaitic filariasis, or "LF", is a parasitic worm spread by mosquitos which causes swelling in the arm and legs of those suffering from the condition. Caimanes has been hit hard by the disease and according to Bolivia Buchon Blog, "only Santa Blanca has stepped up to help the locals". |
 "Job Opportunity" |
"Do you want to join an industry leader in a growing line of business? Santa Blanca is looking for experienced navigators to operate the modified versions of Russian submarines we use to smuggle cocaine to Florida. Exciting job. Competitive pay. Lots of perks, including free cocaine and company AK47. Life insurance not included." |
 "Child Genius" |
An old newspaper article about El Cerebro's high school graduation, at just 13 years old. Patricio "El Cerebro" Mendez was born in a lower class Mexican family. He demonstrated exceptional academic abilities at an early age. Through her association "Realiza tus sueños", Nidia Flores helped him get a visa to study in the USA, paid for all his expenses and convinced El Sueño to make him the buchon of Caimanes upon his college graduation. |
 "The Pantanal" |
The Pantanal is the world's largest wetland, with more than 150,000 square kilometers shared between Brazil, Bolivia and Paraguay. During the rainy season, nearly 80% of the floodplains are under water. The various ecosystems house a tremendous biodiversity, notably rare aquatic plants and caimans, whose teeth are used as talismans by locals. |
 "The Boy that Turned into a Lake." |
People from the eastern village of San Ignacio de Moxos say that, a long time ago, local women could only use a small swamp to wash clothes and men had to go fishing miles away. One day, a young boy went to help his mother and he walked into the water, he mysteriously disappeared. His mother ran in the village to seek help. When villagers reached the swamp, the boy was nowhere to be seen. Nowadays, the swamp has turned into a beautiful lake full of fish and clean water. |
