SUBJECT: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
KNOWN ALIASES: Valentine, Michael; Hopper, Michael, Golstein, Emmanuel; Hale, Parker
DESCRIPTION: Adult Male/ Caucasian/ H:6'2"/ W: 212/ Hair: Brown/ Eyes: Blue/Green (Different Colors)/ Age: 24
IDENTIFYING FEATURES: Wears corrective eyewear/ horizontal scar above right eye, 3" long/ vertical scar on left cheek, 2.5" long/ two scars from apparent gunshot wounds on abdomen/ scar on right forearm 4" long/ tattoo on left shoulder (skull image clutching switchblade knife in its teeth)/ tattoo on back of right shoulder (grim reaper/number six (DEAD SIX logo))
PREFACE: Subject was apprehended in XXXXXXXX, Virginia on XX/XX/2005. Surrendered without incident.
On XX/XX/2004, subject was recruited for Project Heartbreaker. Subject was subsequently deployed to XXXXXXXXXXXXX, and was involved in lesser operations in XXXXXXXXXXX and XXXXXXXXX.
Subject has a long history of violence. At a young age (approx. 17) subject somehow became involved with the mercenary group SWITCHBLADE. According to information extracted under chemical coercion, subject eventually took command of SWITCHBLADE before said group dissolved. SWITCHBLADE was the subject of a special Federal task force circa 2000-2002. This operation failed and no arrests were made.
At some point in 2003, subject became involved with terrorist group EXODUS. Was involved in the Des Moines Incident on XX/XX/2003.
Shortly thereafter, subject was approached by XXXXXXXXXXXXX. Induction into Project Heartbreaker/DEAD SIX followed. Subject was deployed to XXXXXXXXXXX on XX/XX/2004.
RESULTS: Subject has been subjected to various types of information extraction, ranging from chemical means to physical coercion. While subject has proven somewhat resiliant to the latter, the former has proven most effective. The most notable information is presented below.
-We now believe that Gordon Willis (ID XXXXXXXXXXXX) did in actuality take his own life, though subject had every intention to kill him.
-We now believe that other operatives of DEAD SIX escaped XXXXXXXXXXXXX, but their whereabouts are unknown. Threat assessment is minimal.
-Subject knows nothing about XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.
-Subject is responsible for the massive information leak that has of late put the operation into jeapordy. This information was apparently given to him by XXXXXXXXXXXXX (aka "Big Boss") and was subsequently released onto the net.
ASSESSMENT: This subject is easily one of my most interesting cases. He remains defiant and threatening, though I believe most of this is simple bravado and that his will to resist is beginning to fail. He has come to understand that he has no hope of escape and that cooperation is in his best interest.
The subject is a veritable test case of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Subject suffers from nightmares and flashbacks, as well as bouts of depression and paranoia. Three incidents seem to provide most of the basis for this:
-The death of his mother;
-The death of the individual called "Sarah" (DEAD SIX/ID: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX)
-The destruction of the yacht belonging to Anatoly Ivanovich Federov (ref: 143038953/2002), and the subsequent loss of life, for which subject was directly responsible.
ANALYSIS: The subject is a fascinating psychological case for a variety of reasons. At the outset, it seems curious how such a young man with no military training could be such an efficient killer. While it is apparent that he received excellent training while a member of SWITCHBLADE, the apparent basis for his skill is more complex.
The subject himself refers to it only as [I]the calm[/I]. It is interesting enough that he's aware of this condition; yet far from being merely aware of it, the subject has capitalized on it, even depends on it.
The condition referred to is, was, I believe, originally a psychological defensive mechanism triggered by the death of his mother. However as the subject progressed and matured, the condition evolved as well. The condition arises with the onset of adrenaline, and results in a marked change in the subject's behavior.
The primary symptom is described by the subject as a feeling of detachment. "Like playing a computer game," to use the subject's own words. While the subject remains aware of the possibility of his own death and the consequences of his actions, he is able to examine these things on the basis of logic. One could say that the subject's survival instinct simply gets turned off.
This is both an advantage and a disadvantage to the subject; subject admits to taking extreme risks in order to accomplish objectives, with little thought given to his own safety. It has been repeatedly demonstrated that the onset of the condition increases the subject's pain tolerance by almost 100%.
Perhaps the most interesting aspect of this condition is how it relates to the subject's combat efficiency. In short, said efficiency goes up approximately 60% at the onset of the condition. Subject is able to shoot more accurately, make decisions with less hesitation, and absorb and interpret relevant data demonstratably faster.
My colleagues and I are debating whether this may in fact be a type of dissociative identity disorder, wherin the subject is still aware of what's taking place but submits control to the other personality. I personally do not believe this to be the case, but there are some indications.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Subject is both violent and, at times, unstable. He has been a constant security risk for all involved in this analysis. On XX/XX/2005 subject managed to assault and incapacitate XXXXXXXXXXXXXX, one of the individuals responsible for security during my examinations, before being subdued. The fact that I had instructed all such personnel to leave their firearms before entering the examination room is likely the only reason all of us weren't killed. Subject was subdued with tasers and drugs.
More recently, on XX/XX/2006 subject stabbed XXXXXXXXXXXX in the kneecap with a pen, which required treatment at the infimary. Subject continues threatening, harrassing, and defiant behavior. He has repeatedly threatned myself and my staff, and is excellent at antagonizing his security detail. He must be kept under constant watch, as I believe he is an escape risk.
While the subject has made for a fascinating case, I do not believe he is of any further use to the operation. I do believe that if he escapes or is allowed to leave, he will pose a significant security risk to the operation. He has already demonstrated his ability to [I]complicate[/I] things for us.
While I request that he remain under my supervision for further study, the best interests of the operation dictate that he should be liquidated at the discretion of higher authority.
**********************
That's super rough draft off-the-top-of-me-noggin stuff and may not be in the sequel in any form. Also, I'm not a psychologist, so none of that probably sounds correct to someone who actually knows what he's talking about.
Thank you everyone for your patience. Progress on the prequel continues, and right now it's at about about sixteen thousand words. After it's completed, Correia and I will work on the re-write of the Welcome Back story.
When it's finished, I'll mail it out to everyone who PM'd me with an email address. It'll be worth the wait, I promise. Thank you again for the support!
G'night!
