Subject: Whippoorwill
Real Name: Briana McClaine
C.A.D.R.E. Operations Level: Specialist
Former Affiliates: Coyote Solutions, Carlisle Estovion, Philadelphia Mixed Martial Arts Academy

Profile: Subject's childhood was spent bouncing between foster care and biological parents. History of physical abuse and/or neglect. Subject showed early aptitude for gymnastics and martial arts, and won northeastern U.S. regional MMA juvenile tournament at age 15 while in foster care. Returned to biological parents for the last time at 16. Subject hospitalized father and escaped Social Services custody three weeks later.

Subject resurfaced two years later in Algiers, in the employ of noted weapons dealer Carlisle Estovion. She was reported a year later working with the private security company Coyote Solutions in Belarus, Ukraine, Bulgaria and Azerbaijan.

Subject later became affiliated with the elite paramilitary C.A.D.R.E., conducting operations in REDACTED, and is believed responsible for REDACTED, and REDACTED. It was during the SECURITY CLEARANCE NOT VERIFIED that Subject REDACTED, which is believed to be the cause of Subject's recent mental state.

Subject was killed in an explosion at the Mnemodynamics Global Inc. research hub in Dubai. Due to Subject's familial estrangement, no need for contact with next-of-kin.
>End Report<

"That's it?" she asked, incredulous.
"What, you want them to have more on you?" Whetstone asked over the prepaid generic phone. She would have to get another one as soon as this conversation was over.
"Well, no. But four years with them, you'd think they'd show a little emotion about the death of one of their specialists."
Whet laughed on the other end. "What part of 'secret mercenary organization' did you not understand when you signed on?"
Briana snorted in response. There was a pause as she looked over the report again. "What's with the 'recent mental state' they're talking about?"
Whet sighed. "You're being blamed for how it went down. That you were more affected by the... well, you know. Made you sloppy."
Briana grimaced. She was to blame for Dubai, but it wasn't due to her being off her game. She meant for it to happen that way.
Well, almost. "That's not fair."
Whet's voice was stern. "Hey, don't go worrying about a dead girl's reputation. She's history."
"Dead woman," Briana mumbles, still thinking about how the Covert Armed Division: Reconnaissance and Enforcement will now always view the Whippoorwill as someone who couldn't handle a little traumatic stress and botched her final mission, and trying to pretend it didn't bother her.
"Yeah, right. So let the dead lie, and worry about the living. You got the package I left with you?"
"Right here," she confirmed. She rubbed her shoulders briefly as she sat up in the hospital bed. She looked at the passport, DL, birth certificate, credit cards and bank statements that poured out of the plain envelope. "Laney McBreigh." "You're serious?"
"Yep. Best get used to it."
"Ugh. I hate you sometimes." There was still a smile on her lips, and she knew he was smiling on his end. "But it never lasts. Thanks. For everything." She waves in the nurse who wavered in the doorway with the discharge papers. Outside of a persistent soreness in her back and shoulders, she had a clean bill of health. Surprising, considering that the explosion she engineered caught her in the blast when she miscalculated the volatility of the mysterious compound in those vials.
There's a small pause at the other end, then Whet answers her. "You're welcome. Be good, little songbird."
Briana closes the phone and looks out the window, ready to start her new life. "I will."
