StoryText=”Name: William James Carter

Born: 4 Nov, 1920 in Tulsa, OK to Beryl & Jeremiah Carter

Education: BS Engineering, Indiana University

Marital Status: Widowed

Family:

Alice Carter (nee Douglas), mother - deceased 1952

Jeremiah Carter, father - deceased 1959

Julia Carter (nee Crenshaw), wife - deceased 1959

Richard Carter, son - deceased 1959

Professional Record:

Joined Army, December 17, 1941, served until October 25, 1945 - earned rank of Master Sergeant, meritorious service.

Recruited by CIA in 1948 as field operative, serving deep cover assignments. Rose through the ranks with personal commendations by Director Hoover and President Truman.

In 1959, during a deep cover assignment in Cuba, a fire at his family home in Arlington killed his father, wife, and son. However, due to the communications blackout of his mission, Carter did not learn of the tragedy until he returned in 1960. Believed to be cause of his drinking problem.

Reassigned to domestic operations only in 1960, following disciplinary charges. "Voluntarily" resigned in 1961.

Director's Addendum:

Myron, this one's aggressive, temperamental, and defensive, but he gets the job done. I don't recommend him, but the Bureau is your department. If you insist on him, remember that Agent Carter is best used as one would a grenade: pull his pin and throw him at a problem.

StoryText=”Name: Nicolas Alexandre DaSilva

Born: 17 August, 1924 in Baltimore, MD to Catherine & Sylvestre DaSilva

Education: JD International Law (incomplete), New York University

Marital Status: Divorced

Family:

Sylvestre DaSilva, father - deceased 1925

Catherine DaSilva, mother - deceased 1940

Elizabeth Montaigne, ex-wife (divorced, 1952) – living in Washington, DC

Nicolas DaSilva Jr, son – living in Washington, DC

Professional Record:

Joined the Washington, DC Metropolitan Police Department August 12, 1947. Advanced to Deputy Sheriff with high commendations for field work, and began to pursue a career with the FBI as a legal analyst. During his screening, the FBI discovered that DaSilva had not completed his JD degree – having dropped out of college due to financial concerns and falsified his credentials. Deputy DaSilva lost his job on December 24, 1951, which quickly led to the collapse of his marriage.

Despite this, the FBI was impressed by DaSilva’s record with the MPD as well as his interpersonal skills, and on February 14, 1952 they recruited him on a probationary basis for field work. He demonstrated exceptional skill in the field, and received a small degree of fame for the heroic single-handed arrest of the bank robber K. D. Carpenter on February 4, 1955.

Despite this acclaim, Agent DaSilva was repeatedly demoted back to probationary agent due to various moral concerns about his activities when off-duty. In 1959, after an embarrassing arrest in New York City where he and a jazz singer assaulted an officer, the FBI decided to move him out of visible work. At Director Faulke’s request, Agent Nico DaSilva was reassigned to work with the Bureau as a covert agent."

Can everyone please check food in the fridge downstairs before they take it.

We have just finished running a set of tests on a sample of Elerium 115, we were firing different arrays of particles at the Elerium and found that we were getting small amounts of anti-matter in the resulting collisions. We also detected some anomalies in the gravitational field around the test, possibly the result of some kind of gravity wave. It’s all rather fascinating"

The more I find out about Elerium 115 the more I come to believe that Elerium is not naturally formed on Earth, I would go as far to say that it isn't manufactured here either. If I hadn’t have been researching Elerium 115 I would have sworn that it was just some kind of fictional MacGuffin that someone made up for a science fiction movie."

Got harassed by some bloke from the Government today, he was whinging about the fact that the research wasn’t moving forward fast enough for his liking. I had to explain to him that Elerium 115 isn’t overly stable and that if I didn’t spent the time finding the correct resonant frequency of 3.74 GHz for it, it would have eventually eaten its way through the wall and we would all be up shit creek without a paddle."

StoryText=" Ian,

Are the rumors true? Some of us have been shut away down here in the war room since the initial attack. Reports of the devastation have been bad enough, but can they really hide among us? How are we supposed to fight against that? Do we even know if this base is secure?

Some of us have already been getting twitchy after long hours without seeing the sun. Rumors like this could lead to a riot.

After last month’s weapon test incident we’ve installed and tested sprinklers in the firing range test area. We should not have another incident like the last one and frankly I don’t think the environment here can handle another fire. Please make sure all live fire tests are supervised as our target dummies are susceptible to fire.

Director Faulke

The closed-circuit security system has been installed in several of the facility's main rooms as well as the corridors. This covers all major sections of the base and at your request, we have added a monitoring station in your office.

The recording options have also been provided, but some of the crew have concerns about installing cameras in the living and hygiene quarters. I told them I understood, but with potential infected, we just can’t be too careful.

You can expect all surveillance to be in place soon.

StoryText="Director Faulke:

Since occupying the quarters, I have observed several employees use the facilities and immediately exit without washing their hands. On top of a general lack of courtesy toward others working here it is also unhygienic. While I understand this may seem minor in the grand scheme of things, I cannot stress enough the importance of cleanliness.

How can we fight enemies from beyond our Earth if we cannot fight bacteria on our skin? Please do not sweep this valuable hygiene concern under the rug.

With Concern,

StoryText=”Name: William James Carter

Born: 4 Nov, 1920 in Tulsa, OK to Beryl & Jeremiah Carter

Education: BS Engineering, Indiana University

Marital Status: Widowed

Family:

Beryl Carter (nee Douglas), mother - deceased 1952

Jeremiah Carter, father - deceased 1959

Julia Carter (nee Crenshaw), wife - deceased 1959

Richard Carter, son - deceased 1959

Professional Record:

William Carter joined the Army, December 17, 1941, leaving college to enlist shortly after the attack on Pearl Harbor. He saw action in the Pacific theater and earned the rank of Master Sergeant with commendations for his service in the Burma campaign. His service ended on October 25, 1945, after which he returned to college on the G.I. Bill

Shortly after graduating, the CIA recruited Carter in 1948 as field operative. His quick thinking and bravery served him well and he rose through the ranks, earning personal commendations from both Director Hoover and President Truman. He excelled at deep cover assignments, serving for weeks or months at a time in Indochina and the U.S.S.R

In 1959, during a deep cover assignment in Laos, a fire at his family home in Arlington killed his father, wife, and son. However, due to the communications blackout of his mission, Carter did not learn of the tragedy until he returned in 1960. He alternates between blaming himself and the agency for the tragedy—this, as much as anything else, led to his drinking problem.

Following a string of disciplinary charges in December of 1960, William Carter was reassigned to domestic operations only. Continued problems led to a further demotion to administrative duties in June of 1961.

Director's Addendum:

Myron, this one's aggressive, temperamental, and defensive, but he gets the job done. I don't recommend him, but the Bureau is your department. If you insist on him, I don’t recommend a long-term position. The man used to be a hero, but now he’s busy destroying himself – He’s not useful for much anymore except as an expendable asset

Our stock of medical supplies has been checked and should allow us to care for our patients. That said, with the number of injured that are returning from the field we still need to ration accordingly as our supply is not indefinite, and supply lines are strained at best

Please remember to use all medical supplies sparingly – it’s going to be a long war.

We apologize for the power fluctuations that are causing brown-outs throughout the facility. Engineers are working around the clock on bringing all necessary electrical subsystems up to speed, but the size of the project is taking a toll on our systems. We request your patience and restraint in unnecessary power use. Particularly, we request that Dr. Heinrich and his team in the research lab limit their power consumption.

While I appreciate the gravity of the situation we’re in, along with the fact that we have never had to run at full capacity, continued power disruptions will cause unavoidable delays in production.

As per your request we are refitting the missile silo to house recovered elerium samples. Since we’re unsure what long term exposure to the substance may bring we are lining the silo walls with lead for extra protection. We should have this complete in conjunction with other improvements we are making to the lab.

The missile that had been housed in the silo has been safely dismantled and stored. However, I simply cannot comply with the requests of Drs. Murphy and Scott, who requested it for “high-yield elerium delivery experiments.”

Perhaps you should talk to them about their independent studies.

Last week was the second time weapons crates were stacked in front of the Skyranger bay elevator. Only the quick-thinking of maintenance crew avoided injury during the expedited return of DaSilva’s team.

While I understand our rush and the need to have fuel and ammunition readily available, it must be procured through the Requisition Officer in the Armory per normal channels. The Req. Officer needs to maintain an accurate count and service weapons that come back from the field. Proper procedures must be maintained if we are to fight orderly and effectively.
