When she came of age, Cass searched out the most extreme special ops unit she could track down, leading her to corporations and security groups.  She applied to Lone Star and was rejected several times, ostensibly due to lack of real experience.  A fringe extremist group noticed her however, and recruited her.<br/><br/>The last of her unit, Cass is presumed dead with her comrades-in-arms.  She was a member of an elite retrieval unit, structured to retrieve important people, objects, and information from various holdings, corporate, military and private.  Her unit was funded by a purist human group, but she like the rest was picked for her ability to follow orders without question rather than any beliefs she might hold.<br/><br/>Cass served for 2 years, her body redesigned to fit her particular niche in the group with the limitless funds of the large anti-metahuman religious backers.  Her unit infiltrated, retrieved, and occasionally assassinated within many major systems, all without ever being detected.  Until her last mission, a mission to enter Drake holdings and retrieve a scientist working on biological weapons.  Dr. Strosky’s work appealed to her backers, because it centered around the physiological differences between metahumans and humans.<br/><br/>When the group reached Strosky however, they found another group had found him first, and not quietly.  The alarms tripped and Cass’ unit was left in trap, the corpse of Strosky pointing a metaphorical finger at them.  In the ensuing firefight, the demolitions expert opened an exit while the others laid covering fire, Cass was the first through the opening by random chance.  Drake guards had other ideas however, and fired a high explosive round into the demolitions bag, turning the room behind Cass into a mass grave.<br/><br/>The explosion threw Cass from Drake tower, landing her in a pile of thankfully soft refuse pile.  Her mission scrapped, her team very clearly dead, Cass decided it was time to cut her losses and move on.  Her employer would likely erase her anyway, just to cover up the incident, and it was simply better for her to disappear.  She never truly agreed with her employers’ reasoning anyway.<br/><br/>Cass pulled herself together, with a silent thanks for her fire and impact resistant bodysuit, and disappeared into the shadows of the Seattle slums.  With her talents, surely she could find work, she just needed to make some contacts.<br/><br/>She is noted as saying things like…<br/>“You need the job done well, hire runners.  You need the job done well and quietly, hire me.”<br/>“…”<br/>“I want silence.  Make a sound and my rate triples.”<br/>“Oh come on, I have better locks than this on my nutrisoy dispenser.”<br/><br/><br/>Edges:<br/>Vesatile Sleeper 1<br/>Light sleeper 1<br/><br/>Flaws:<br/>Background Trouble 1: A religious cult would be glad to rid themselves of a witness if they find her alive<br/>Hidden Past 1: Metahumans around her might be distressed to find out her past activities<br/><br/>
