The meeting between the pair was engineered as part of a general plan by the Phoenix Group to co-opt members of the international security community. Quate and Hendrickson starting sharing a house in London in 1998. In 2000, Hendrickson personally oversaw the planning for Global Security to provide security services to the Sydney Summer Games.

Following Rainbow's raid on the Horizon Corporation's headquarters, evidence was found linking Hendrickson to Brightling's terrorism plot. On September 30, 2000, Hendrickson attempted to flee the country before the virus dispersal and set up a Global Security motorcade to escort him to the airport. Rainbow was able to intercept the motorcade and captured Hendrickson for interrogation. Hendrickson later revealed the locations of the dispersal devices throughout the athlete's village and stadium which aided in their successful defusal.
