This operation became the end of Lucas Douglas's life as he knew it.
Unware of the truth, he "accidentally" killed Samuel Smith, and from that point on he was branded a traitor by the higher-ups.
He changed Hank Clegg's fate of becoming an assistant in the Safety Bureau, putting him in the position of Captain of Interpol, after Sam Smith "died in the line of duty." Clegg, from then on, considered Lucas Douglas the number one terrorist he needed to eliminate.
But Samuel Smith managed to deceive everyone, he went back to Sez, concealed his identity, and took over as the head of the International Terror Organization.
It was only many years later that Lucas Douglas discovered Samuel Smith was still alive.
The time when he discovered the truth was not much earlier than Hank Clegg.
