(U) NAME: Adam Tyler
(S/NOFORN) DOB: 7 FEB 1981 [unverified — birth certificate
flagged by Office of Advanced Analytics as a possible forgery]
(C/NOFORN) SPECIALTIES: Tactical Recovery, Demolitions,
Advanced Weapons, Economics, Advanced Strategy [also see
CO Form X6217 – BRANCH CHIEF PACKET ONLY].
(TS/MV/NITRO) LOCATION: Tiraspol, Moldova
(TS/MV/NITRO) ACTIVITIES:
2005 - First verifiable record of “Adam Tyler.”
2005 – 2009 - Priv. security consultant, multiple countries
2009 – 2019 - Salvage and Recycling Ltd., registered in
EU/UK, USA, UKR, UZ, RUS, THI, VN, SG
(TS/MV/NITRO) ANALYSIS: Adam Tyler is a trusted source.
His list of global contacts in salvage, defense, and general
import/export channels creates access across a broad
intelligence spectrum. Tyler will demand payment in exchange
for information. However, records show that he often neglects
to cash the check. Subject’s name is a probable alias. During
standard cross-referencing, Analyst #509B found homonym
“Adam Tiler” — Victorian slang for a pickpocket’s accomplice.

(U) NAME: Natalia Inger [goes by Talia]
(U) DOB: 24 JUL 1997
(C/NOFORN) SPECIALTIES: Junior Operations Officer with
standard combined ops training, Eidetic Memory, Russian
(TS/MV/NITRO) LOCATION: Washington, D.C.
(TS/MV/NITRO) ACTIVITIES:
2004 - 2014 - Foster care system, Washington, D.C. Inger
spent 2012-2014 in the home of Bill Lewis and
family, and remained with this family while
attending Georgetown. [see Associates below]
2014 – 2018 - Georgetown University 4-year accelerated
bachelors/masters in International Relations
2018 – 2019 - J.O. Training / Combined Ops Initial Course
(TS/MV/NITRO) ANALYSIS: As a former foster child with limited
attachments, J.O. Inger is an excellent candidate for frequent
deployment. Analyst #509B recommends solo assignments over
team ops [see CO Form 7107, Training Evaluation]. The Farm
psychologist warns of trust and authority issues. Her
medical records from the Georgetown Women’s Rowing team note
chronic pain in her mid-torso, favoring the right side. Her
condition remains undiagnosed.

(U) NAME: Edison Gupta [goes by Eddie]
(U) DOB: 24 FEB 1997
(C/NOFORN) SPECIALTIES: Junior Specialized Skills Officer with
standard combined ops training, Cyber Attack/Defense, Drone
Operations, Electrical Engineering
(TS/MV/NITRO) LOCATION: Washington, D.C.
(TS/MV/NITRO) ACTIVITIES:
1997 – 2008 - Early childhood in New Delhi, India
2008 – 2014 - International School of Washington, D.C.
2014 – 2018 - Georgetown University 4-year accelerated
Computer Science & Engineering Program
2018 – 2019 - J.O. Training / Combined Ops Initial Course
(TS/MV/NITRO) ANALYSIS: A child of Indian diplomats, J.O. Gupta
received permanent resident status during his time at
Georgetown. Gupta excels at cyber ops and holds the company
record for backdoor access to the NSA Prime server. However,
he violated test protocols by using this access to send an
agency-wide email from the NSA Director’s account entitled
“Teletubbies Rock My World.” The Farm psychologist notes Gupta
may struggle with deployments due to a strong attachment to
his mother. Analyst #509B also suggests an “unhealthy”
attachment to his Age of Swords online gaming account.

(U) NAME: Macauley Plucket [goes by Mac]
(U) DOB: 3 APR 1990
(C/NOFORN) SPECIALTIES: Pilot, Mixed Martial Arts, Aeronautics
(TS/MV/NITRO) LOCATION: Unknown
(TS/MV/NITRO) ACTIVITIES:
1990 – 2008 - Childhood in Aberdeen, Scotland. Juvenile
record shows three fighting arrests.
2008 – 2012 - Student at the University of Aberdeen
2012 – 2014 - RAF Initial Officer Training, Flight Training.

Agency. Achieved new records in hybrid rocket-
jet flight. EU MMA amateur fighting circuit.
2018 – 2019 - Removed from ESA for illegal gambling [bet on
his own fights]. Allegedly works on contract in
illicit fighting rings and as an underworld
enforcer.
(TS/MV/NITRO) ANALYSIS: Plucket is a skilled pilot and fighter
that could be an asset to a field team. His juvenile record,
fighting habits, and gambling all indicate impulse control
issues. Do not trust this asset.

(U) NAME: Darcy Emile
(U) DOB: 15 APR 1994
(C/NOFORN) SPECIALTIES: Chemistry, Explosive Dynamics
(TS/MV/NITRO) LOCATION: London, UK [suspected]
(TS/MV/NITRO) ACTIVITIES:
1994 – 2011 - Childhood in Paris, France. Her secondary
education instructors identified her genius and
advanced her to Paris Polytech at age 17.
2011 – 2017 - Bachelor/Master/Doctoral Student.
2017 – 2018 - Professor at Paris Polytech. The subject’s
troubled relationship with the university
board, including repeated reprimands for
encouraging students to explore “combustive
art,” ended in a spectacular explosion at the
campus biodome and the subject’s termination.
2018 – 2019 - European authorities allege four recent bank
vault explosions involve the subject’s Rube-
Goldbergian artistic signature.
(TS/MV/NITRO) ANALYSIS: Darcy Emile is dangerous and should be
avoided at all costs [see CO Form 325393 Mental Status
Evaluation]. However, Analyst #509B notes her last alleged
bank vault explosion was “really cool.”

(U) NAME: Michael Finn [goes by Finn]
(U) DOB: 18 FEB 1995
(C/NOFORN) SPECIALTIES: Burglary, Infil/Exfil, Recovery,
Motocross, Skydiving, Proximity Flying
(TS/MV/NITRO) LOCATION: St. Moritz, Switzerland [projected]
(TS/MV/NITRO) ACTIVITIES:
1995 – 2010 - Early childhood in Melbourne, Australia. Left
home not long after father committed suicide.
2010 – 2019 - Airshow/stunt-show/motocross circuit, primarily
Europe. During this period, more than forty
high-profile burglaries occurred in cities
where Finn performed stunts, all within a week
of the show. All these cases remain unsolved.
(TS/MV/NITRO) ANALYSIS: Michael Finn’s juvenile record in
Australia indicates an early aptitude for unlawful entry. His
most recent alleged burglaries tend toward high elevations and
significant security barriers. Paternal suicide combined with
a Type T [thrill-seeking] personality may contribute to his
tendency toward high-risk behavior. Further study is needed.
Analyst #509B notes a predominantly female following on Finn’s
Dark Web stunt page.

(U) NAME: Valkyrie [nom de guerre; actual name is unknown]
(S/NOFORN) DOB: Unknown. An Iranian arms dealer allegedly died
attempting to acquire this information. No others have tried.
(C/NOFORN) SPECIALTIES: Confidence Tricks [Grift], Neuro-
linguistic Programming, Hypnosis, Cold Reading
(TS/MV/NITRO) LOCATION: Venice, Italy [suspected]
(TS/MV/NITRO) ACTIVITIES:
2001 – - The nom de guerre “Valkyrie” first appears in a
Venetian police report regarding a shop owner
swindled out of more than 50 million lire
[$25,000 US]. Police later discovered the
victim to be a confidence man running a gang of
child pickpockets and street hustlers.
2001 – 2019 - Valkyrie is associated by rumor with more than
a dozen confidence schemes perpetrated in
Europe and the Middle East, usually against
museums, museum societies, or targets with
known criminal or terrorist backgrounds.
(TS/MV/NITRO) ANALYSIS: Valkyrie may be an umbrella name for
multiple grifters. Analyst #509B insists she is a single,
talented individual. If so, she could be a powerful addition
to a team in the field.

11d. Candiate Inger failed the final comprehensive field operations practical. See comments for item 12e below.
12a. Candiate Inger showed a high aptitude for all aspects of Collection, including observation, conversational coercion, and direct interrogation. Her eidetic memory offers an obvious advantage. However, along with excellent recall, she demonstrates an advanced grasp of course concepts when drawing conclusions from recalled data. Inger showed a particular ruthlessness with classmate Scott Meyers during the interrogation practical. Empathy may be an issue. See comments for item 12d below.
12d. Candidate Inger achieved a perfect academic score, as predicted, but her eidetic memory advantage leads to a pronounced impatience with team members. Despite her excellent grasp of tactical and strategic concepts, her lack of patience and empathy in team settings resulted in a downgrade from "superior" to "sat" in both Communication and Team Leadership.
12e. Candidate Inger and her entire team were KR'd during the final practical (KR = Kill Removal). This requires an "unsat" for item 12e and results in an automatic course failure. Review is at C/HRM discretion.
