Rush: Keelan, it's important.

[bathroom door opens] [water hitting the floor]

Keelan: I'm taking a shower! Go away!

Rush: Open the door. I'm not going away.

Keelan: See if I care. We leave tomorrow. And I'll see you tom—

Rush: It's about the-uh-new girl.

Keelan: Then I'll especially see you tomorrow. I don't want to hear i-

Rush: Do you want to go on a mission with her?

Keelan: Rush, it's not up to u-

Rush: Open the door. Or I'm going to... throw... rocks at your window.

[extended silence]

Rush: Have you gone back to washing your hair? Because I can continue.

Keelan: No. I'm coming. I'm just covered in soap so I'm- [door opens] -trying not to fall and crack my head ope- Sure, yeah. Come on right in.

Rush: Please, I've seen you naked enough times.

Keelan: You're probably not here to see me naked again so spill. I'm covered in soap and there's shampoo in my hair.

Rush: Did you lose weight? I can see your ribs.

Keelan: Actually, yeah. I can't seem to bulk up no matter what. It seems more counter intuitive to be taking protein and whey these days.

Rush: You should go to a dietician.

Keelan: With my disposition, they'd be left scratching their heads. Anyway, what do you want? I'm cold.

Rush: Pull up the towel to your chest then. It's a serious talk.

Keelan: Go ahead. I'll deal with it.

Rush: I think we should go above Malcolm's head. We can't work with that criminal.

Keelan: Well then, is that it? Just casually go knock on the office of our boss's boss and tell them to throw a child back into Iso-Max.

Rush: She's not a child. She's 19.

Keelan: Right, because 19 year olds  know everything about the world.

Rush: This one's only 19 in the sense of the number. Her skill, expertise and demeanor fit that of a veteran soldier.

Keelan: So, she's better than you. Go cry about elsewhere. My shampoo is drying.

Rush: Keelan! You're not listening! I'm say-

Keelan: Do not yell at me in my own room, Rush. I'm not happy to work with a criminal either, but I will not deny this kid a second chance at life.

Rush: She is not a kid! She i-

Keelan: -was... the Angel of Death. As far as the media cares, that person is dead. She isn't. She deserves something more than a white padded cell for the rest of her life.

Rush: Short life.

Keelan: Hope that helps you sleep better at night. I'm going back into the bathroom. Don't let the door hit your ass on the way out.

Rush: Keelan! [loud thud] You're not listening! We have a chance to give her what she deserves for killing so many soldiers!

Keelan: So, you want to get revenge?

Rush: Of sorts.

Keelan: That's idiotic. She might be a criminal but she's also clearly a successful and important test subject. If we don't accept her, the only thing left for her will be returning to the labs.

Rush: So?

Keelan: The same labs we were in, Rush. The same shit we went through, but ten times worse for her. We can't do that. I can't do that. You're on your own. [door closes]

Rush: Oh, come on, Keelan. Real mature hiding in the bathroom. [loud thuds] Come out! I'm not d-Oh?! Oh! Real nice! Like you can't hear me over the shower.

[extended silence]

Rush: Come out, Keelan. We have to talk about this. She can't just get away with receiving a new life after all she's done.

Keelan: [muffled] You already know my thoughts on that.

Rush: Keelan, come on. Mikhail is blinded by her use for the State! We're the only two who can do anything about her.

Rush: [loud thuds] Keelan!

[loud thuds]

[extended silence]

Rush: [sigh] [footsteps] [door opens] [door closes]

Analysis below-

  •  Rush: Hatred and ambition seemed to be guiding his initial feelings about working with Terra. Look into the Angel of Death's casualty list. Maybe someone there was important to him.

The following excerpts contain more conversations between Keelan and Rush as opposed to the rest of the team.

Keelan's psychological evaluation portrays him as the weakest character in the group mentally; despite being of same rank and experience and Rush, and having seniority over Terra. His soft spot towards Terra grew over time and turned into love for her (refer Interrogation Notes: Keelan). However, it was clear Terra never reciprocated those feelings and was, in fact, quite oblivious to them.

Situation: Time and date match Terra being taken hostage

EXCERPT #1

[door slam] [loud footsteps] [footsteps] [door closes]

Rush: Fuck. Fuck. Fuck! FUCK!

Keelan: [sigh] Calm down, Rush. There's nothing we can do.

Rush: Nothing we- Nothing we can do?? We can do something! We can go back to that base and look for the clues as to where they went! We can track them via satellites! We have moles in the Rebellion, right? Why not fucking ask THEM?!

Keelan: That's a freeze-wave transmitter that guy used. We would have to stop, defuse the mine and then turn around to head back to the base. And none of us have the skills to defuse a mine, so the only option was- go back and die, therefore leaving Terra in the hands of the side she betrayed.

Rush: Betrayed... Betrayed, my ass. She sacrificed herself for them. She should be a hero to the Rebels.

Keelan: Maybe. Maybe not. Maybe some see her as a hero, and some as a traitor. We can't really speculate on this. Their ideology is lot different than ours.

Rush: But they were once State! A good amount of them!

Keelan: 'were'- They abandoned the State, Rush. Terra almost did too.

Rush: Terra did. If she wasn't caught, we'd still be fighting her.

Keelan: [laugh] And losing.

Rush: Stop.

Keelan: We never won against the Angel, Rush. We only caught her by accident, don't you remember? A repair patrol.

Rush: Don't remind me.

Keelan: Hard to imagine going on missions without her now.

Rush: ... Yeah. Malcolm doesn't seem to be showing any signs of releasing her.

Keelan: Let's have Mikhail bring it up once Terra is back.

Rush: Her release? No way he'll listen.

Keelan: Malcolm won't agree to a full release, but how about a day out? If he's considering releasing her, we can say that he might as well see how she's going to adapt to a society she's not been a part of for almost a year and a half.

Rush: That's... pretty smart for you, Keelan.

Keelan: Shut up. I just... don't like the look on her face when we leave after mission debriefs.

Rush: Yeah. I know what you mean. It must be lonely down there. She's not even allowed to mingle with the other prisoners.

Keelan: You know, I wanted to ask her if she wants me to check up on her parents.

Rush: Why didn't you?

Keelan: I... chickened out.

Rush: Cat got your tongue?

Keelan: ... Of sorts. [sigh] I hope they don't hurt her too much. She's been through enough during her interrogation.

Rush: Yeah. The shit she's mentioned... Any normal person would have cracked.

Keelan: Just goes to show how different she is from us.

Rush: Section D kids have always been different. There's a study that shows their upbringing literally rewired their brains in a way similar to that of children or widows during wartime.

Keelan: That sounds... horrible.

Rush: When you think about it, Section C isn't any better.

Keelan: Compared to Section D? I think that's an overstatement.

Rush: Some parts of Section C.

Keelan: Yeah... I guess.

Rush: It makes me wonder sometimes... never mind.

Keelan: What?

Rush: It's stupid.

Keelan: You're stupid.

Rush: You're stupider.

Keelan: You're stupidest.

Rush: That's not even a word.

Keelan: Yes, it is. Someone as stupid as you wouldn't know it is.

Rush: And only someone as dumb as you could make that up.

Keelan: You're dumber than me.

Rush: Then you're the dumbest.

Keelan: Yeah, right. Like that's a word either.

Rush: So you admit 'stupidest' isn't a word.

Keelan: It is. It's practically your middle name.

Rush: My middle name is Matthew.

Keelan: Look that up and you'll see it means 'stupidest'.

Rush: ... I miss Terra. She was nicer.

Keelan: Me too. Wish Mikhail was here  [groan] He'd know what to do next.

Rush: Come on, let's go check him out.

Keelan: Now?

Rush: Yeah. The recovery ward is open 24/7. It's better he find out from us anyway.

Keelan: Yeah. Okay. It's not like I can sleep now anyway.

Rush: Hungry?

Keelan: No. I need to pee.

Rush: I'll get some bagels to-go. You haven't eaten in over 18 hours.

Keelan: Fine. I'll meet you downstairs.

Rush: Don't change. We can be called in anytime.

Keelan: Yeah, yeah. Get me salmon.

Rush: [door opens] I know your order... dumbass.

Keelan: Just had to confirm you did, Rush 'Stupidest' James.

Rush: ... Shut up. [door close]

—————

Situation: Time and date match the day following the death of Terra's parents

EXCERPT #2

Mikhail: YOU HAD ONE JOB, KEELAN! STAY AWAKE FOR TERRA!

Rush: Calm down, Mikhail. It's not hi—

Keelan: I-I-I was awake till almost 5. She must have arrived after that.

Mikhail: You never stay awake for night shifts!

Keelan: Then why'd you give me the fucking job?! Fucking give it to Rush then!

Mikhail: Rush had to call his contacts! We gave you one job and y-

Keelan: I'M SORRY, OKAY?! I TRIED MY BEST FOR TERRA!

Rush: STOP FIGHTING! Terra has barricaded herself in her room! She won't answer any of our knocks, her phone is probably dead too, and even Lionel is out of his mind with worry! We don't have time to fight! We need to be there for Terra.

Keelan: Well, that begins with her letting us in.

Mikhail: She's not opening the door.

Rush: I talked to Lionel. He said to give her a few days.

Mikhail: What does that mean? We can't just leave her alone.

Keelan: It means, give her a few days, Mikhail. She's grieving and she doesn't want to be around people. We need to... We need to give her time.

Rush: We can't just... leave her alone. You saw her yesterday. We... We saw her yesterday.

Mikhail: She's scared, and confused. The timing is bad for her too. It's only been a few days since her brother's death anniversary and... poor girl.

Rush: We know. [loud thud] We fucking know.

Mikhail: And to top it off, we have to leave for a mission tomorrow morning.

Rush: She talked to Malcolm. And General Robin has a soft spot for her. They can... They can surely give her some time off, right?

Keelan: Her, yes. But we're also going to be benched until she's willing to come out of the room. The next mission involves her expertise.

Mikhail: I know. I've been begging Malcolm to give us a mission that will have Terra as a lead.

Rush: You think she's ready? To lead?

Mikhail: More than ready. She's smart. She can achieve so much but the Angel of Death tag follows her around. People tend to still distrust her.

Rush: It's so idiotic that people still think her being taken hostage by the Rebellion was fake. It will never go away.

Keelan: And now this. Calling her parents 'Rebels'? Sleeper agents? Bullshit!

Mikhail: We don't know that. There might be intel we're not privy to due to our relationship with her.

Rush: Mikhail, you... you can't be serious.

Keelan: We ate with them. We were there at their anniversary!

Mikhail: If they were sleepers, we wouldn't know, Keelan.

Rush: We wouldn't know because they were not Rebels. They were normal citizens. This is murder, straight and simple.

Keelan: Exactly! They can't just go around raiding and killing random people!

Mikhail: They can if they have actionable intel. Both of you need to get your heads out of your asses and get back to reality. We cannot be sure that Terra's parents aren't the Rebels the State says they are, and we can't be sure if they are either. It's not our place to ask.

Keelan: Of course it's our place to ask!

Rush: He's right. I'm going down to the station to meet Malcolm right now.

Mikhail: Rush, wait! Yo-

Rush: Don't fucking touch me, Mikhail. I don't want to punch you.

Mikhail: I... [sigh] Fine. Change into your uniforms. It's better if we all go.

Keelan: What about Terra?

Rush: I don't think anything will change if we're gone for half an hour. She's not letting anyone in right now.

Mikhail: Yeah. I know... Let's go.

Keelan's mutation seems to make him unable to stay awake too late. His nodding off when Terra returned to her room might have been the difference between convincing her to grieve quietly over taking revenge.

The excerpt below is the final conversation that happened between Mikhail and Keelan on what the State is now called D-Day, or Incident 4.

Keys provided at the end of the transcript.

Situation: Time and date correspond to Incident 4.

EXCERPT #3

Mikhail: [loud thuds from door] KEELAN! KEELAN! OPEN UP! [loud thuds] KEELAN! IT'S ABOUT TERRA!

Keelan: Hold your horses! I'm coming! [sigh] Always when I'm cooking or showering. Never when I'm free. [door opens] What is i- Yup. Come on right in... to watch TV.

Mikhail: Shut up and watch.

Keelan: Your TV not working?

Mikhail: I was in the gym when I saw this. Look.

Keelan: News... Terra?!

Mikhail: Shut up!

[news reporter voice rises] ... -age of the ongoing hostage situation at the Lionel Mackenzie's residences. We have been informed that Private First Class Terra Carai entered Mackenzie Enterprises using a permanent visitor's pass. It has recently come out that the two were in an intimate relationship. It has become clear that Terra used that trust against Lionel Mackenzie in order to—

Keelan: This... This can't be real... right?

Mikhail: That's what I thought at first. But it's on [click] every [click] fucking [click] [click] channel. [click]

[news reporter voice] -thorities have gathered and are trying to negotiate Lionel Mackenzie's release from his deranged girlfriend. It is so far unclear what exactly has led to this series of events. However, it is important to note that she's also the same Terra Carai who's family was killed as part of a raid claiming they were State sleeper agents. A claim also debunked by the same controversial daughter after a sudden, unannounced trip to New Artoca. Now, to all our viewers out there who are not aware—

Mikhail: Do you think there's some merit to this story?

Keelan: No.

Mikhail: Hear me out... Terra returned from new Artoca- what? Two weeks ago? And since then, she's spent a lot of time with Lionel.

Keelan: She was apparently... not available for him during the time we weren't here. She's making up for it. Why are you asking this? How is i-

Mikhail: What if she was watching him?

Keelan: You... You can't be serious.

Mikhail: Something like this takes time, Keelan. She had to have planned this.

Keelan: Well, that's obvious. If she was with Lionel, how would she have time to plan?

Mikhail: She's well-connected, well-liked... trusted even, despite her new career. It wouldn't have been that tough to get a plan together with minimal effort. With the people she knows.

Keelan: Mikhail... why don't you trust her?

Mikhail: I do but... She's somehow only 19 and has a file on her. She can't just have that without doing anything!

Keelan: Maybe she can. You know where she's lived. You know where she's worked at. I'm sure just shining shoes for that piece of shit thug would have had her name added to a list.

Mikhail: But I—

Keelan: Can you trust her for once?!

Mikhail: How?! She's on the news holding a man, who she just told she loves, hostage for who knows what reason? Not to mention, we've seen the security in the building. Mackenzie Enterprises has some of the best security in the State! She can't just have planned this on the spur of the moment!

Keelan: She doesn't kill for no reason!

Mikhail: You think she's going to... kill him?

Keelan: I... I don't know. She always has a reason. For something.

Mikhail: Y... You're right. But she's done for. She's... She's not coming back.

Keelan: I... I know. [loud sigh] She's... She has to run.

Mikhail: Or she dies.

Keelan: Or captured.

Mikhail: This is Terra. She's not going to let herself be captured. Not again.

Keelan: She's... She's going to run.

Mikhail: I... [click] I hope she makes it. Let's go tell Rush. He should find out from us. He'll take it the hardest.

Keelan: Yeah. You go. I'll... I'll clean up the kitchen. We're not going to be returning for a long time.

Mikhail: Seems like it.

—————

FINAL FINDINGS

Mikhail was immediate to question her past steps and reasons for the extra time with Lionel.

Keelan, however, was right to question Terra's motive. Her psychological profile does indeed show that she doesn't take drastic actions until ordered to or under extenuating circumstances. Investigation is required to figure out what made Terra's mindset shift to one where she decided to overturn her entire life to kill one man.

Upon reviewing hours of transcripts from Terra's residences and the residences of her teammates, the three men can be cleared of having any involvement in Terra's plan from beginning to end.

Mikhail's initial distrust of Terra never left him and he made it clear to the other two— Rush and Keelan. He was the only one who ever questioned Terra's motives and reasons throughout their short partnership. Rush was blinded by his trust and close relationship with Terra while Keelan couldn't look past his crush on her which developed into 'love'.

Following this assessment, we move on to other avenues of research into Terra's mindset leading up to Incident 4/D-Day.

The crime scenes at Dr. Blue's medical room, Mackenzie Enterprises offices and Lionel Mackenzie's residences have been catalogued and combed through for any and all viable pieces of evidences. Maker's offices, the bar he operates out of, and the residences of other acquaintances from Section D have been searched to no new leads.

Which only leaves the video.

The video has been inspected and assessed by several experts from various fields. Every word spoken in that video was carefully calculated and thought through. While the video might look like it's improvised, the reality is it was part of her master plan to escape from the beginning. Some have theorised it to be a red herring to throw us off the path of her real motive. However, the intensive and thorough investigation being done into her past, recent and current actions have brought up no viable or sensible motives apart from the one she mentioned.

Killing Lionel Mackenzie the Eighth was an extension of her revenge against the State. Performed in a last ditch effort to inflict damage to the State's reputation and reveal everything that was going on in the background.

There was also no proof found of any Rebellion involvement in her action. Any help she got was all local and from people she trusted.

International chatter has confirmed that she has not returned to the Rebellion, nor has she resumed working for them as the Angel of Death. However, interestingly enough, there is an international hunt for her by several underground organisations interested in her skillset. Chatter hasn't ceased yet so we can only hope she hasn't been found.

Her skillset being turned against the State dealt considerable damage to our image internationally and among State denizens. Those same skills being used on an international scale will form an unremovable stain on the State's image on the international stage. It is imperative she be caught and made an example of publicly in order to maintain the respect the State holds as a self-sufficient corporate entity.
