This is the last mission in the chemical warfare series, taking place in Mumbai, India.

ORIGINAL HISTORY:
The Pendharkar chemical conglomerate is the Indian stronghold of chemicals including weaponry, and it has Mumbai in its pocket, including the Maharashtra Times.
Firaki Deshmukh works on their floor until December 2696, when exposure to a vesicant gives her a bunch of very nasty symptoms such as blisters, corneal scarring, and respiratory impairment. She is given a large settlement, enabling her to leave her line of work and move back in with her father Bal.
In the year 2697, Bal Deshmukh marries a high-ranking member of Indian parliament, Madhuri Patel. [Bureaucratic issues] demand that they live separately, however, and Madhuri never meets Firaki face-to-face.
Madhuri Patel goes on to become a high-ranking member of the United Earth's government when it forms in 2700.

CHANGES:
TEAM A sabotages the Pendharkar conglomerate's affairs and hampers their settlement to Firaki Deshmukh
TEAM B impairs their lining of Maharashtra Times coffers
TEAM C works on resolution of bureaucratic obstacles to cohabitation of married couples in different financial situations

ALTERED HISTORY:
Pendharkar still has to lay off Firaki Deshmukh after her 2696 maiming, but there is no settlement this time. Resentful, she moves back in with her father and they begin to consider taking their story to the Maharashtra times.
After Bal Deshmukh and wed in 2697, they live together along with Firaki, moving into Madhuri's superior household. Madhuri becomes personally affected by Firaki's condition, and her stepdaughter inspires her to take an activist stand on such afflictions. Resources are more easily shared within the family, and Firaki receives superior medical care that provides near-healthy respiration and sight, but her blistering is too severe - and politically useful.
By January 2698 the Maharashtra Times publishes a headline story about the articulate but irrevocably scarred poster girl for the harm of chemical weaponry.
Her stepmother begins serious advocacy within the Indian parliament for better legislation, and a law passes in 2699.
In the year ~2700, when the UE officially forms, Madhuri Patel proposes that chemical weapons be globally outlawed. After the regional controversy of the Firaki Deshmukh case, officials of Indian origins agree with Patel, while many other countries such as France and Britain had already come to the conclusion these were undesirable. The majority is soundly secured for legislation.
