Storyline
Six weeks after Jason Bourne’s escape from Moscow in The Bourne Supremacy, Aaron Cross, an operative belonging to a Department of Defense black ops program called Operation Outcome, is assigned to Alaska for a training exercise. To prevent the Senate investigators from learning about Outcome, Byer orders everyone associated with the program to be killed, seeing the sacrifice as acceptable to protect next-generation ‘beta programs’, including the supersoldier program LARX.
