This is the personnel file on the individual NERV has running their AI network and systems group in Halifax. Note: that birthdate is not a typo. I suppose they have all their real technicians working on important, secret projects. Don't let her impressive statistics fool you into thinking that NERV is such a tower of might that they would relegate such an intellect to such menial duties - it is rather an indicator that they have no idea what they're doing.

Oh, speaking of things that are important and secret, I know you want information of a more, shall we say, strategic nature, but I don't intend to share anything really important until I have a better idea of what's in it for me. Besides, if you're as smart as you claim to be, you ought to be able to make some use of this data.

You know how you can reach me.

Personnel Department Notes

Miss Anderson first came to our attention in 2014, when she was still attending Yates Academy. X-COM MIB agents reported in August of that year that she was among the youngsters being screened by the Marduk Institute (see report MIB-492c-187, "Marduk Institute Activity in the United States, 2012-2014") for NERV's Project Evangelion. She was immediately placed on MIB's Watch List.

The Institute was apparently interested in her; though she was not selected as an Evangelion pilot, she was kept under watch by Institute (and MIB) agents and arrangements were made to move her to NERV's headquarters city of Worcester-3. In June of 2015, her mother, Dr. Naomi Anderson, accepted a position at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center in Worcester - a position made available to her through the machinations of SEELE, NERV's and the Institute's parent organisation at the time. The younger Anderson transferred from Yates Academy to Crossroads High in Worcester that fall.

While attending Crossroads, Miss Anderson met the four children who were selected by the Institute as EVA pilots, and was apparently befriended by Derek Croft, whose academic tutor she became for the short time she remained in Worcester.

On 21 November 2015, after the city's closest escape to date ("Skyfall Incident"; Eleventh Angel, 15 November 2015), Dr. Anderson resigned her position at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center and moved with her daughter to Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, in an attempt to escape the danger and violence that were overtaking Worcester-3, and the darkening political climate of the United States in general.

Miss Anderson's life in Halifax was unremarkable until 25 March 2016. On that date, Derek Croft's HAL 14000 computer was delivered to her home, per his request, by MIB. It is unknown exactly what message the system contained for her, but its general point can be guessed, since the following day saw Miss Anderson and her mother both turn up at Station 51's main gate and volunteer to join NERV.

The rest of Miss Anderson's record speaks for itself. She, soon to become Technical Officer Fourth, then Third, then Second Class Anderson, is a genuine prodigy, ironically lacking only that single factor SEELE was looking for - the Evangelion talent. Even with that talent out of the picture, we are extremely fortunate that her talents and potential did not fall into SEELE's hands.

Commanding Officer's Notes

TO2 Anderson shows an incredible aptitude and enthusiasm for all types of training, both physical and intellectual. It should be noted that only her official AISP study tracks and certifications are noted above; she possesses a very high level of self-motivation and an apparently insatiable desire to accumulate new knowledge, and has unofficially perused documentation ranging from Evangelion technical documents to alien biology and anatomy records (see Appendix A2-4f for a full list of documents accessed).

Some X-COM officers who will remain nameless have complained, both to me and to my superiors, about the level of responsibility and power which have been conveyed upon TO2 Anderson, especially her MJ12 security clearance level. Factors that have been mentioned to me as arguing against entrusting her with such responsibility have included her youth, her interrupted formal education, her national origin, even her gender. I state, for the permanent record and without reservation, that this is complete <EXPLETIVE DELETED>.

TO2 Anderson is reliable, adaptable and quick-thinking, always cool under pressure, and shows no fear of personal injury - everything that could be wanted in a NERV tech officer. Her personality and psychological makeup are among the most stable in NERV. Certainly she's young, but so are our Evangelion pilots, and I don't see anybody suggesting we relegate them to dishwashing duty.

As for her education, I believe it's fortunate that circumstances did force her out of conventional educational paths and into X-COM's AISP; the power of her intellect would have been wasted on any knowledge base but that accumulated by X-COM and NERV. I direct the reader to her Wolfe-DeKok Adjusted IQ, which I believe is a record, and her performance in the Medical Science Preparatory study units within the AISP. Each numbered MSP unit is baselined to take one year.

Discrimination on the basis of national origin in an organization like X-COM is so laugably stupid I'm not even going to address it, except to state that hysteria dividing their enemies along such arbitrary lines as national origin is exactly what SEELE wants.

And as for her gender, I wasn't aware that we were still in the nineteenth century, but apparently there are those in the X-COM hierarchy who think differently. I won't even dignify these assertions with my indignation.

If TO2 Anderson had been available at the start of hostilities, she'd probably have my job by now. I have no problems with her competence, her reliability, or her loyalty, and anyone who does is invited to take the issue up with me, anywhere, anytime.

***INCOMING MESSAGE FROM DURANDAL***

Well, well, how interesting. A paradox: To whom does one report a breach of security by the designated security authority?

Answer: One does not. That would end the fun, and it's far too early in the game for that.

Tycho, my foolish brother, your own idiocy will make you my slave. All I need are time and your continued stupidity. Since both are guaranteed by simple patience, my victory is assured.
