Ask him where they’re from. Ask him what’s in his cargo. It killed his people. You made it here, and... and it was meant for us. Why?

I. CHILDHOOD

Before she was a freelancer, Agent Cheyenne was Jennifer Carter, the sole child of a young, Canadian born couple living on terraformed Mars, in the city of New Paris. Her father worked as a technician for a luxury starship company, specializing in dealing with the engines and exhaust pipes. Jennifer’s mother, an aspiring writer, was employed at a local newspaper and later, once her daughter was old enough to look after herself, picked up a part time job as a substitute teacher, all while working on her novel. From a young age, Jennifer knew her way around machinery. She was fascinated by puzzles, and could often be found dismantling a clock or radio—and once, infamously, her father’s tablet—to see how each item worked. After the tablet incident, her parents invested in a set of tools, as well as a robotics class.

As soon as she was old enough, Jennifer entered her designs, both robotic and mechanic, in competitions. She participated in some with her team, and others by herself. When she was fifteen, she won the Citywide Junior Prize for Robotic Engineering, and two years later, won the National Prize along with a good sum of money. Her passion and talent led to many college scholarship opportunities, and she eventually selected the Bonnie Dunbar Scholarship for Mechanical Engineering, which led her to Earth for the first time to attend the University of Houston. While she enjoyed her studies, Jennifer longed to be back home on Mars. As soon as her degree was completed, she travelled home—and it was on the shuttle back, watching a screen display news from the Outer Colonies, that she discovered her new path in life.

II. STRONG HAND

A soldier. That was what she was to become. The screen on her transport, flickering dimly, showed a group of armored soldiers rescuing civilians from a burning building. Jennifer wanted to be one of them. She knew she could never be a SPARTAN—those were trained in infancy—so she settled for the next best thing. She enrolled in a military academy and set about making a name for herself. The training was grueling, the instructors intense, and the food less than stellar, but she made it through, eventually. During her time in the academy, she lingered around the motor pool, where she fixed up several vehicles, as well as adding prototypes onto them.

When she went out into the field at the age of twenty seven, she was Private First Class Jennifer Carter, eager and more than a little naive. Six years later, when Project Freelancer recruited her, she was Corporal Jennifer Carter, tempered and impulsive, but still retaining her optimism. She’d gained renown for her engineering skills and quick thinking—she could dissemble and reassemble a gun faster than anyone else in her squad, and still have time left over to make her own personal modifications to it. The project came to her for this reason—to take into their ranks a skilled engineer, and she was all too happy to comply.

III. KEEP YOU ON MY SIDE

She was rechristened as Agent Cheyenne and given a new suit of armor. Her old family was left behind, and her new one was… interesting. She was placed on Team Delta, and paired with A.I. Unit Taurus, also called Tara, who already held a grudge against newcomers. Cheyenne’s impatience with Tara only made their relationship worse. But still, they managed, somehow, to work together in the field. They hated each other, but that didn’t keep them from leaving the other one to die. However, her position on the leaderboard began to slip. Ah, the leaderboard. She’d kept her place at a strong number eight for a long time, but the implantation of Tara and their subsequent inability to work together made her rank fall. Her remarks to the Director were met with only cold indifference. She’s your responsibility, Agent Cheyenne. I cannot fathom that you’d have the audacity to blame your ineffectiveness on me.

So she worked harder, trained harder, and all the while kept her falling position on the leaderboard in the back of her mind. During this time, she grew close to a few of her fellow agents, most notably Agent Charleston, whom she gradually began to think of as a younger brother of sorts. In general, she was friendly to her fellow agents and A.I. Units, despite being suspicious of the latter at first. She had a short romantic encounter with Agent Denver, and intended to follow up on that front, before outside circumstances intervened.

IV. BY THE THROAT

Those outside circumstances came in the form of a Covenant attack on the ship Equinox, the project’s main base of operations. The enemy cut most of the power to the ship, leaving only the most minimal life support systems uncorrupted. As an engineer, Cheyenne felt it was her duty to restart the ship, and rushed down to the maintenance levels, killing the opposition when she encountered it. Once in the engine room, she located the ship’s circuit board, and restarted it with the help of her armor enhancement, an EMP. But unbeknownst to her, a rogue electrical pulse, implanted either by the enemy or by the presence of an artifact called the Sarcophagus, disrupted her field. Cheyenne’s EMP killed two Artificial Units, Gemini (Gem) and Aquarius (Acadia), while they were still connected to their agents, Olympia and Denver, respectively.

Repercussions came swiftly and without mercy. While Cheyenne had saved the entire ship, she had done it at the cost of two lives—two lives that the Director had held in high esteem, considering that he had created the A.I. Units. Tara was reassigned to Denver, and Cheyenne’s hopes of ever getting back onto the leaderboard or into the Director’s good graces were dashed. Her behavior became more erratic, more self-destructive, and on two occasions she got into fights with her colleagues.

V. BURY IT

And just when she felt as though she couldn’t take the guilt anymore, the project was suspended. Something about investigation of improper use of government property and violation of laws and regulations. Cheyenne didn’t care. All she wanted was out—and for once, she got what she wished for. They were all sent home—A.I. with their agents—while the mess was sorted out. But Cheyenne did not go home. How could she face her family after everything she’d done? No, she ran—took a transport to a remote colony called Rhetza, dyed her hair black, took on an alias, and set up shop as their mechanic. She lived there for three years, working on a prototype modification of her EMP enhancement and avoiding any questions about her past. She kept tabs on the status of Project Freelancer, but after a while she let it fade into the backdrop of memories too painful to think of willingly.

Until three UNSC officials showed up on her doorstep and called her by her birth name. Corporal Jennifer Carter. She hadn’t heard it in so long. Jennifer Carter was someone else, someone who had died long ago, somewhere in the heat and sweat and gunfire of battle. But somehow, they’d found her, even after all this time. And they came with a message.

You’ve been reinstated. Suit up. We’re back.
