The room was a perfect cube in shape and was well lit. Due to the fact that the only solid object residing inside was a large curved office desk with a single comfortable-looking leather chair behind it, the room looked excessively spacious. A man was sitting in the chair and scrolling the endless amount of words and numbers on a holo-screen in the air before him. While the extreme simplicity of the room and stature of the man would suggest nothing important, the room had a constant stream of thousands of zetabytes of data passing through it at any given time of the day. Data that consisted of information on highly classified government secrets, research projects including nomads and human testing, black operation data feeds and many other such things. The room was the central administration point of the station it was in, a station that was officially known and classified as Data Network Node A-93 under Section 7 of the Liberty Security Force, but it was more widely known among LSF agents as "The Mapping Room". It was a perfectly rectangular shaped block of metal that was inserted into one of the thousands of asteroids that littered the Ellesmere system by means of excavation. Even though it was completely invisible to any known means of detection, its powerful communication units uploaded and downloaded an incomprehensible amount of sensitive data around the clock.
In fact, the fear of the chance that the station could even be compromised was the reason that an unnecessarily high amount of high yield fusion bombs were planted in and around the asteroid the station was built into. With a single command a ten million kilometer cube volume of space would be erased from existence in a thousandth of a second, along with the impossible amount of stored data and the heavy cruiser patrol and the ten flights of heavy fighter-bomber wings that patrolled the immediate area at all times. Only two people had access to those detonation codes and one of them was now sitting in the aforementioned room. Associate Director Tony Mitchell.
Sir.
Yes, Nighthawk?
Sir there seems to be a problem, an operative of substantial significance has been marked as MIA, presumably captured by hostiles forces.
Put it up.
The room exploded with light as many holographic displays and images appeared around the desk. Even a 3D model of the mentioned operative was slowly spinning around in the middle of the room. Displays showed all there was to know about the person, employment background, family relations, assignments, details on missions and even people of any importance that the operative had interacted with. Tony's eyes moved to the name that was hovering above the 3D model in large font. Elijah Brand. His eyes then moved to the display which showed the parameters as to why this was brought to his attention, two notes were flashing.
>Significance of Rank: Coordinator
>In trial state for S7 access
Explain.
A reported shootout between Coordinator Brand's squadron -specifically known as Phantom One- and a group of Lane Hackers near the Colorado Jump Gate in New York. The squadron was shot down and no pod was found in the area, considering Brand's situation, there is a high chance that he has been captured.
Tony mentally reviewed Brand in his mind, he had talked with the Coordinator in person several times and had him under his direct command in space as well. The man was a decent agent, highly disciplined and not lacking in creativity and loyalty, although Tony had not been so sure of his state of mind, Brand's morals and ethnics -mainly that they existed- might get in the way of performing his duties and had a chance of breaking his loyalty and vows to do what is necessary. The man didn't completely grasp the Agency's way of working under the words "The end justifies the means". Although even though his rank allowed Elijah access to a considerable pool of information, due to his area of work in TacOps he didn't have access to any critical RDA data, neither Nomad or primate evolution research. His main operational areas were limited to strategical and technical information on the enemies of Liberty, specifically The Order. And because of that, Tony saw the consequences of information leak significance from Elijah to be...null.
Note, Agent Brand has knowledge of the Prowler prototype. Specifics are deployment locations and probable information on weaponry.
How could he forget? Tony remembered that the strategic data Brand had access to also encompassed the Prowler prototype, no information on that was too little to be seen as unimportant. In Tony's mind, Elijah's intelligence priority had just been bumped from null to "somewhat important". But the Associate Director had more important things to do then to chase after a captured coordinator who had little to no value at best.
Have two teams assigned to finding him, have the teams assembled from TacOps, the chances are too low to leave it to Homeland Security.
Yes sir, bringing up roster, selecting operatives and assigning objectives.
Good.
The holograms disappeared and Tony returned to his work, his mind jumping away from one incident to another.
