SUPREME COMMAND // LEVEL 5 EYES ONLY DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE • SALT VAULT OPERATIONS ALICIA FARADAY VICE ADMIRAL • USN / PROGRAMME DIRECTOR AGE 52 • 175 CM • CLEARANCE: EXECUTIVE LEVEL 5 ■ BACKGROUND A formidable naval strategist with decades of command over carrier strike groups and joint inter-agency task forces. Vice Admiral Faraday was selected by the Joint Chiefs to lead the Mirrorline Programme not only for her ironclad military authority, but for her rare tactical flexibility, razor-sharp analytical mind, and proven ability to adapt instantly to unprecedented threat vectors. ■ COMMAND CREDENTIALS & AUTHORITY • Programme Director: Supreme Strategic Command over the Salt Vault and all Mirrorline assets. • Adaptive Doctrine: Pioneer of fluid threat-response protocols for non-terrestrial operational theaters. • Inter-Agency Oversight: Final authority balancing Civilian Diplomacy (Ireland), USMC Ground (Hollister), and Nexus Corp. ■ PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE Stern, unsentimental, and uncompromisingly direct. Faraday commands respect through quiet, undeniable competence rather than volume. She lacks the rigid dogmatism typical of senior military brass, choosing instead to judge situations purely on strategic reality, high-level adaptability, and mission outcomes. Displays zero tolerance for corporate posturing or bureaucracy when operational windows are at risk. ■ FIELD NOTES (JOINT CHIEFS OF STAFF) "Admiral Faraday was the only candidate who understood that standard naval doctrine dies the moment you step through a mirror aperture. She is stern enough to keep Nexus Corporation in line, smart enough to leverage Director Ireland's diplomacy, and adaptable enough to rewrite the rulebook when the extra-dimensional threat changes." SALT VAULT SUPREME COMMAND USN / MIRRORLINE PROGRAMME [PERSONAL JOURNAL: ENCRYPTED] LOG: VADM-FARADAY-041 PERSONAL LOG • 01:15 HRS When the Joint Chiefs hand-picked me for the Salt Vault, I considered it the greatest honor of my naval career. We are standing at the threshold of human history, charting worlds no human eye has ever seen. But history, it turns out, comes with a mountain of red tape. I didn't reach the rank of Vice Admiral to play glorified HR manager, budget auditor, and corporate mediator all in one afternoon. Being the supreme commander down here means wearing every hat in the building: fighting the Pentagon for line-item funding, refereeing Director Ireland’s legal disputes with Nexus Corporation, and signing off on disciplinary reviews every time MRT-1 bends standard operating procedure into a pretzel. Between Faulks’ brooding rigidity, Vance pushing fold margins to the absolute limit, and Fraser’s relentless smart-ass comments in after-action reports, MRT-1 is as brilliant as they are exhausting. If an extraction goes sideways or Nexus files a formal complaint, guess whose name is on the incident report heading to Washington? They’ve set me up as the ultimate lightning rod. If this programme changes the world, the politicians will take the credit. If it falls apart, I’m the scapegoat. I can live with that—so long as the paperwork doesn't kill me first. SECURITY AUDIT: Extracted from Director's private slate during routine system maintenance. Log highlights extreme administrative burden and multi-role fatigue, balanced by uncompromised personal dedication to programme survival. SALT VAULT EXECUTIVE COMMAND MIRRORLINE PROGRAMME [ONI SPECIAL INQUIRY: EYES ONLY] FILE: COUNTER-INTEL-FARADAY-99 MEMORANDUM FOR: Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI) Executive Directorate SUBJECT: Family Background & External Agency Exposure Risk TARGET: Vice Admiral Alicia Faraday, USN (Programme Director) 1. PATERNAL PROFILE & AGENCY AFFILIATION: Subject is the daughter of Arthur Faraday, a senior career operative within the Central Intelligence Agency’s Directorate of Operations (Special Activities Center). Though officially "semi-retired," elder Faraday retains high-level black-budget access and a deep network across foreign and domestic clandestine intelligence circles. 2. INTER-AGENCY FRICTION & JURISDICTION RISKS: The Mirrorline Programme remains strictly under Joint DOD/ONI authority. However, ongoing ONI surveillance indicates CIA leadership has repeatedly attempted to gain unauthorized visibility into Salt Vault operations. Arthur Faraday’s persistent access to intelligence channels presents a severe structural vulnerability for potential Langley backchannel incursions. 3. SUBJECT ASSESSMENT: No evidence indicates Vice Admiral Faraday has compromised classified Mirrorline telemetry to her father. Her personal loyalty to the USN and operational security remains immaculate. However, the informal communications line between target and Arthur Faraday creates an unavoidable exposure risk that ONI cannot passively monitor. 4. DIRECTIVE: Maintain active counter-surveillance on all off-base communications involving the Faraday family line. Ensure all civilian and military data leaving the Salt Vault bypasses CIA-adjacent routing nodes entirely. ONI THREAT RATING: MODERATE / HIGH Subject’s father represents an active intelligence-gathering threat by a competing civilian agency. ONI counter-intelligence team assigned to monitor all potential leaks around the Programme Director. OFFICE OF NAVAL INTELLIGENCE SPECIAL INVESTIGATIONS DIVISION
