NAME: Assagiri, Priscilla
AGE: 26 HT: 5' 10"
WT: 140 lbs
EYES: Brown
HAIR: Brown
COMMENTS: At times I find it hard to believe that Priss was born in a place as nice as Vancouver. Her attitude and mannerisms have more in common with inhabitants of a Zero Zone. She can best be described as a pent-up mass of frustration and rage waiting to be unleashed. Priss seems to be set on a path of self-destruction, taking her extreme hatred for authority out on herself. Examples of this behavior include: chain smoking, alcoholic binges and occasional use of recreational hallucinogens. As of yet, none of the episodes have occurred during a mission. It would seem that the adrenaline rush she gets from overt assignments is enough, it is only when we are between contracts that she feels the need to 'distract' herself. Oh course, I must admit that this sort of behavior does make her an excellent frontline combatant.

NAME: Romanova, Nene
AGE: 24 HT: 5' 6"
WT: 115 lbs
EYES: Green
HAIR: Red
COMMENTS: Nene presents a rather unusual puzzle. Standard Halberstam IQ tests give her a rating of 190+ (I have a rating of 185) and yet she seems to have all the common sense of a 2 year old (not to mention the attention span of one as well). Her computer skills are phenomenal, she is in fact, one of the best deckers I have ever seen. Although her combat skills are not as clean as I would like, I have to admit that her job is support. I just wish she would follow my orders instead of always trying to creatively 'interpret' them.

NAME: Smith, Mack
AGE: 25
HT: 5' 10"
WT: 170 lbs
EYES: Brown
HAIR: Black
COMMENTS: Mackie holds a rather unusual position in the Company. Originally, I hired him to handle hardsuit maintenance and to function as the Company's pilot. But now, he often acts as Company 'girltoy', spending most of his time with Linna and Nene. It is no great surprise that he seems to enjoy this part of his 'job'. Mackie is an excellent technician and pilot and I feel his 'other' activities, in their own way, do actually benefit the Company.

NAME: Yamazaki, Linna
AGE: 25 HT: 5' 8"
WT: 125 lbs
EYES: Green
HAIR: Black
COMMENTS: There are times when I wish the entire Company was made up of Linna. A 5th Dan black belt in Karate and an Olympic level gymnast, Linna has a reaction time that is on par with many cyber-enhanced individuals. She is quite cool and capable under fire, and time and time again has proven herself capable of handling even the most difficult combat situation. Of course, her all-consuming lust for wealth does provide an excellent 'hook' that allows me to keep her under control.

NAME: Stingray, Celia (Sylia?) - (Yeah, as if that was her real name!)
AGE: 28-33? - (Who knows? Who cares?)
HT: 5' 9" WT: 130 lbs
EYES: Blue (this week)
HAIR: Black (err… make that dark bluish)
COMMENTS: Do you believe this drek? "Priss seems to be set on a path of self-destruction", so what? I'd take her over any three Red Commandos any day of the week. Sweet Mackie a girltoy? Perhaps I _ should point out that our fearless leader has hopped into his bed just a much as the rest of us. A team of Linnas? Give me a break! If Linna was handling the Company contracts we'd get half the jobs for a tenth the nuyen! Now, if I was in charge…

Let me say this about good-old Celia Stingray (boy, is that, or is that not, an alias?). She is the most cold-hearted bitch I have ever met (though I hear Shion's worse). Celia tries to put on an air of class (you know, fancy clothes, luxury European import car, penthouse suite etc.) but deep down she is just as black-hearted as any Mafia Don or Yakuza Oyabun.

But you know something… I don't care! As long as she can keep the nuyen rolling in and I get to play with some of the best computer systems this side of the Crystal Palace, it's fine with me.
