Wrap Up for Operation Fire Hose

MISSION COMPLETED

Objective Status: The Deliverer base hidden inside the abandoned New York City fire station has been fully searched. Many enemy agents were killed during the confrontation, but none captured. The boss, Promethia escaped before interrogation could be conducted. No CEDIT field agents were seriously harmed. We've recovered much of the Deliverer's technology, including the weapon carried by Promethia and the super-weapon that the Deliverers had stored on the bottom floor. New York law enforcement is keeping the presence of the Deliverers secret from the people of New York, to avoid public panic. We've stepped up operations across the globe in order to stop the other Deliverer cells before they can enact any of the attacks Promethia warned of.

The new presence of an antagonist named Namaste has added an unexpected wrinkle. Calling herself a friend of the Goodbye Girls, Namaste prevented agents from acting by controlling Despedida's tech, allowing Promethia's escape. Her identity is currently unknown. A CEDIT investigation will be opened into this new criminal, who will be treated as an enemy for now.

Ciao's Confidential Report to Goodbye: "That Namaste really threw a wrench into my covert operation to watch over the girls. Now she's planted the idea in their heads that somebody close to them might be watching them and sabotaging their efforts... which I am, in a way. I will need increased support from admin to redirect their suspicions elsewhere, if I'm to continue digging up dirt for these dossiers.{if Au Revoir's Suspicion of Despedida = 1} Au Revoir mistrusts Despedida due to the latter's skill with technological devices. At first, I thought that was a juvenile reason to cast doubt, however, there is the matter of how the messages were transmitted... The method and the timing both seem most easy for Despedida to control via pre-recorded messages. But if she really was a sleeper agent, why not take the time to kill us both? Why allow Promethia to escape and play games with us? It makes no sense..."{endif}{if Despedida's Suspicion of Au Revoir = 1} Despedida mistrusts Au Revoir now, due to the latter's time as an agent of Adder, working against CEDIT. I can't blame her for being suspicious... Truth be told, there's a spark for killing in Au Revoir that doesn't exist in the other girls. Could she have a friend capable of hacking into Despedida's gear? Or is she just a lot more tech-savvy than she lets on? It is sometimes hard to believe that the Frenchwoman's as simple-minded as she lets on...{endif}
