Since the events Uncharted 2, Elena has become an international news correspondent, and has been stationed in Yemen for some time . Nathan Drake and Victor Sullivan discover that Sir Francis Drake made a stop in Yemen on his quest to find the Atlantis of the Sands . Since the two needed to get into Yemen quietly and without opposition, Sullivan called Elena to ask for her help, as Drake was reluctant to speak to her . When Drake and Sullivan arrive in Yemen, Elena gives them permits and talks to them happily as they exit the airport . But Drake and Elena begin to argue over their sudden arrival and over Elena's wedding band . Nate is more interested by the fact that she is still wearing her wedding ring from their estranged marriage . She claims' it helps in this part of the world' and tells him not to flatter himself . Nate just smiles, knowing she's not being entirely honest with him .

She also voices her concern about Sullivan, and that Nate shouldn't make him run across the globe for him .

Elena asks Nate to stop looking for Iram . </P> <P> Elena herself makes the connection that even though Sir Francis Drake knew where Iram was, and despite his mission from the Queen, he chose to drop the search and sail home .

She tells him to' shut up' . She leads him to the sofa and pulls him on to her lap . She updates him on Sullivan's situation: he, Marlowe, and her crew are in a convoy heading into the desert . Marlowe had a two - day start, so catching up to them on foot or motor vehicle would be impossible . Elena discovered that an airplane would be making a supply drop to the convoy, so she planned on sneaking onto the plane, dropping in on the convoy, and rescuing Sullivan on her own .
