Sloane Kelly/3.0

Sloane Kelly is a character role-played by ApollosOne.
__TOC__
== Background ==
Sloane Kelly started out working remotely as Mayor Mickey S' assistant, and came to live in Los Santos at Mickey's request. In an effort to better the city, Sloane drafted legislation for the Mayor's Office.
Prior to working for the Mickey S. Administration, Sloane believed he worked for the Governor of San Andreas as the Deputy Operations Manager working on budgets, consulting on policy, working on day-to-day vendor relationships and managing the campaign strategy, though after experiencing memory repair he learned that those memories were planted false memories that covered the true nature of his time working on a covert project where he developed special technology. 
An early graduate with dual degree in Mechanical and Chemical Engineering with a Minor in Political Science in 2009. He completed his first Doctorate receiving his PhD in Biomedical Engineering in 2014 and received his second Doctorate, a Ph.D in Regenerative Medicine in 2019. 
Before moving into politics, Sloane worked for Marheed Lockton as a contractor working in R&D Operations Analytics & Engineering in Pablo Alta. He was responsible for formulating analyses and development plans, developing new technology solutions, researching military systems and designing new technologies, modeling military systems and scenarios in digital environments, quantifying Measures-of-Effectiveness (MOEs) and preparing reports/briefings and presenting analysis results to top Government officials. It was in his time at Marheed Lockton that Sloane earned his Class A Level 3 clearance, otherwise known as "Top Secret" clearance allowing him to do research into highly classified topics. 
== Private Assistant of Mayor Mickey S ==
As Mayor Mickey S' political advisor, Mr. Kelly wrote the following government legislation for the administration:
Legislation for the Mickey Administration 	 	
{| class="wikitable" style="font-size:85%;" 	 	
Legislation Bill 	Details 	Senate Response
Violent Offense Against Government Employees Act (S. 2124)	Hefty times and fines for violence against police officers. 	Tabled indefinitely
Unified Police Department Munitions Act (S. 2125) 	Rename the Unified Police Department/3.0 to the "Unified Defense Force", and retrofit existing PD Aircraft with state-funded combat-ready missile deployment systems and munitions (supplied by Cerberus Industries Armory). Also equip PD with APC tanks.	Only the missiles approved; added to MDW Legislation
Assembly of External Affairs Act (S. 2126) 	Outside oversight over the PD (as opposed to "Internal Affairs" inside of the PD). 	Denied
Reclassification of Employment Act (S. 2127) 	Reclassify Dispatch and PD tow as government employees. 	Approved; added to MDW Legislation
San Andreas Royalties Foundation Act (S. 2128) 	Manually pay state funds to record label companies for music artists' radio plays. 	Approved; added to MDW Legislation
Bolingbroke Amelioration Act (S. 2129) 	Construct a casino inside of Bolingbroke Penitentiary. 	Denied
Mayoral Security Act (S. 2130) 	Allow the Mayor's security team to use lethal force against perceived threats. 	Conditionally approved; added to MDW Legislation
State Funds Stabilization Act (S. 2131) 	Dean Watson's bill for private sponsorship of a government department, i.e., Cerberus PD. Sloane later revealed that he hadn't actually written this bill--that Mickey had just tacked the legislation on. 	Denied
After Mayor Mickey S was re-elected, Chief Judge Alan Crane denied all of the second term legislation that Mickey had Sloane write for him, even the law to prevent gangs from taking over Vinewood. Sloane contemplated rewrites that would made the legislation look less like it was only benefiting Mickey and his friends.
Apollo Integrated Ventures
Having worked short term in a freelance capacity with the Mickey S mayoral administration, Sloane convinced Mickey to approve his Apollo Integrated Ventures business to consult more broadly with the government in Los Santos, and establish defense and government contracting. Projects included Research & Development, design, and proposals with the Federal Investigation Bureau and Unified Police Department/3.0 as a source for equipment procurement. Politically, Sloane wanted the AIV to help the Mayor's office manage and maintain ongoing programs, outsource interest areas, draft legislation, manage budgetary requests, and equip and onboard new members. With technology, Sloane wanted the AIV to make advancements in health care in the hopes of increasing quality of life for the citizens of Los Santos. 
The AIV conducted business in primarily three arms: 
* Political Consulting
* Technology Consulting
* Defense Consulting
When Lang Buddha directed Mayor Mickey S to block State funding to Sloane and Apollo Integrated Ventures because Cerberus believed that the AIV's defense contracts interfered with the Cerberus Industries Armory's plans to supply the Federal Investigation Bureau and Unified Police Department/3.0 with equipment, Sloane formally resigned from the Mickey administration on September 8, 2022.
Sloane's Resignation Letter
"Mr. S, As a result of the events of the last few days, I would like to formally turn in my resignation. It seems that though my intentions were only ever to serve you and the State, through means of miscommunication and unmet or unspoken expectations, my business somehow came under fire for being maybe "malicious." As a result, we will be ceasing operations and I will be ending my personal advisory/assistant contract with you. 2 items of note. I am submitting this final invoice for time spent serving the last week, as well as reimbursement for items paid out of pocket. The Medals of Valor for the PD I will gladly deliver upon receipt of funds. These you can use to hold a ceremony and celebrate your unified defense force. They will be able to carry them with them in their pockets. We have qty 50 of them for you. As a show of good faith to you and the Cerberus team, I would like to offer this signed Non-disclosure. I believe it to be in the best interest of all to maybe just cut ties and allow your to go about your business unhindered. This will ensure I keep all information, conversations and any other items we've worked on together to this point under wraps. I will pre-scope this NDA in-writing here to say that anything we have worked on since the start of your employ will fall under the scope. This should satisfy the "in-writing" clause to ensure everything is covered. Finally, I want to take this opportunity and thank you for allowing me to work with you. It has been an extreme honor and I wish you all the best through the end of your term and god willing, next term."
Sloane successfully sued Mayor Mickey S's office for $697,000 (monies owed for the "medal of valor" badges and the pay for the week he worked for Mickey).
== San Andreas Service (SAS) ==
Sloane and Sabith Cohen founded a new company, San Andreas Service, focused on health care projects and political consultation.
Synthetic Eye
Sloane engineered a Synthetic Eye (generic or customized) for all of the Los Santos citizens who want elective surgery (or require emergency surgery) for their missing eyeball. Bunny designed the packaging and registry card. John "Turbo" Miller of The Factory manufactured the prototype.
Max Larson was the first volunteer to undergo the experimental eye replacement surgery. Sloane and Bunny observed as Dr. Jeffy Coldiron (assisted by intern Millie Madden and overseen by Dr. Mercy Moon) replaced Max's "T-Eye" with the prototype Synthetic Eye in a trial surgery at Viceroy Medical Center on October 20, 2022. As a result of the successful operation, Head Doctor Derek Shaw approved more clinical trials for the synthetic eye.
Synthetic Liver
CPD Grand Marshal Kyle Pred was the first volunteer to receive San Andreas Service's synthetic liver on December 7, 2022 at the new Central Los Santos Medical Center. After Pred signed Sloane's waiver, Dr. Jeffy Coldiron with Dr. Dahlia Fey surgically removed Pred's failing liver and replaced it with the synthetic one. The operation sparked a medical ethics controversy, with CPD Vice Marshal Jenny Hall threatening to sue the hospital. CPD Peacekeeper Juno Sweeney was the next patient to undergo a synthetic liver transplant.
Synthetic Body
Using a combination science and the supernatural, paired with an enormous amount of power output from a uniquely designed power source designed with the help of Atlas, and sterile chamber inside of the San Andreas Service storefront, Sloane, Cassandra Silverton, Ashley Justitia, Sooty Gamwich, Bobby Beldrum, Veronica Westfield and Luna Park were finally able to bring back Charlotte "Charlie" Greene's soul from Purgatory into a new laboratory body on December 15, 2022. Sloane concluded that without the full group's participation in the events of recalling her soul--and Cas' channeling alongside both Sloane and Ash's management of the power supply--the event would have likely ended in catastrophic failure.
Synthetic Blood and Tissue
After the events of Charlie's return, Sloane informed Bobby of another special project he'd been working on for him and Sooty. After a few months of development, Synthetic Rhnull "Golden Blood" was finally nearing availability for them as a source of food for their vampiric appetites. Having worked with his sources at the factory, the blood could be packaged in a consumable capacity for Bobby and Sooty. In early January, Sloane discreetly let Sooty know of the first available source.
On January 12th, 2023 when Sooty was in a full body cast from a downed helicopter accident, Sloane met with her at SAS to discuss a dire health need of Kirk Jerkems. In an effort to silence him from testifying in an upcoming case, the Block Gang had torn apart his face, cut out his tongue, and nearly blinded him. Kirk also had earlier wounds stemming from Aziz Abdallah's shotgun blast to his head and a facial graft to replace the Mayor Mickey S face that the Blocks had transplanted onto him. Sooty had asked about the possibility of synthetics use for Kirk to restore his vision and speech, and Sloane reassured her that absolutely he could assist though an "off the books" method would be expensive, ethically difficult, and hard to find a physician willing to help and instead suggested using the approved methods in place. During a consultation at Simone Memorial Hospital, they discussed surgical availability in partnership with the Los Santos Medical Group and that the hospital would cover all costs in helping Kirk back to good shape. Before leaving, Sloane provided Sooty with a few bags of the Synthetic Rhnull blood to speed up her healing. Later that evening, she was well enough to come out of the cast and return to normal movement.
Dr. Tsury Nanakaze eventually operated on Kirk to attach a new synthetic arm (to replace the one he lost in a war with the BBMC) and synthetic eye on February 7, 2023.
Synthetics Details
=== Synthetics - History ===
Originally called "Synthetic BioProstheses" but more commonly known and referred to as "Synthetics" were developed as lab grown organs and human organic replacements meant to treat patients who were short on time, had special treatment and case circumstances, or were willing to participate in the trial processes of use of synthetic organs within LSMG. 
Development of Synthetics originated in 2015 with the original invention of a military/med-tech crossover product known as "Synthetic Skin." Since its inception however, Sloane has spent years further developing and advancing the research with a goal of fulfilling the need of providing alternative treatment for patients in need of organ and other transplants who met certain criteria, such as: the inability to wait for a donor supplied organs, special and unique needs, and lack of qualifications for donor supplied organs (ie, lifestyle habits). Though Synthetic Skin, which was codeveloped by Sloane and a previous business partner (Jonah), provided a starting point in the space of synthetics, what Sloane would later develop as the basis for all synthetics called "Themelial Cells," would revolutionize the healthcare world. 
=== Themelial Cells - A replacement for Stem Cells ===
Themelial Cells, a name coined from the Greek word "Themélios" meaning "Foundation," were developed as scientifically and synthetically lab grown pluripotent cells, meaning that they can develop into any type of cells or tissues in the body that are needed based on the assignment criteria we determine at the point of creation. In essence, when we determine what organ, tissue, appendage(s), etc. we are in need of we assign the Themelial Cell range to those various cellular makeup needs and begin the composition process. At SAS, we have mapped the entire Human Genome Sequence and determined the compositional structure of every organ.
DNA Synthesis: The Process by which a donor's DNA is "synthesized" to an organ. Innately composited in the makeup of Themelial cells contains the DNA Synthesis encoding that searches for host DNA to replicate. Once engrafted, it becomes "host synthesized" and acts inherently as if it was always part of the patient. 
Rapid Cell Regeneration: A feat in scientific advancement, RCR is the ability to rapidly regenerate cellular loss, heal damaged areas and restore loss innately in the Themelial cells that make up all synthetics. RCR extend beyond synthetics however to a patient's existing cells and aids in faster recovery to a surgical site.
Themelial Gene Therapy - Another groundbreaking development in applied health science, the ability to take pluripotent Themelial Cells
=== Synthetics General Overview (From the Applied Science Documentation shared with LSMG) ===
What they are:
* Completely synthetic bio-organic physiology for use in human patients - Aka, "lab grown organs"
* FDA Categorized: Class 3 Medical Implements (Life Sustaining)
* Synthetics bridge the gap between "medical device" and donor supplied transplant.
** They've allowed us to advance medical science to new heights. Formerly impossible surgeries and quality of life improvements are now a possibility. 
What they are NOT:
* Sci-Fi technology
* Mechanical in nature
* Cybernetic or any type of robotics
* Equipped with any inhuman "technology" capabilities, e.g., the eye restores sight only, organs restore normal bodily function, etc.
=== Benefits ===
Improved surgical load - The DNA Synthesis and Engrafting process innately in the synthetics eases the procedural load for surgeons. The surgeons first and foremost work to clear the site, prepare for the synthetic engrafting and act as facilitators to ensure the grafting process occurs. 
Minimal chance of rejection - DNA Synthesis process provides the foundation for all implanted and engrafted prostheses to be recognized by the host body as part of its own body. The DNA sequence is replicated through the entire atomic, molecular, and cellular structure of the Synthetic to ensure the patient's natural body recognizes the prosthetic as if it was always its own. Any rejection that would occur would be as a result of failed DNA Synthesis (Likely due to exposure to other DNA)
Faster Recovery Time - With rapid cell regeneration, the average recovery time drops exponentially. Damaged host cells take on the rapid recovery process from the synthetics and where too damaged the synthetics will replace overly damaged areas. See table 1.1 and 1.2 for recovery information. 
Fewer "Points of failure" - Synthetics are based on organic biochemistry, so they age with the body and stay sequenced over time to ensure the patient experiences little if any notice recognition that they are not part of their existing body. In the case of the eye, prescription changes can be made regularly with the patient’s ongoing ophthalmic treatment to ensure continuity through the years.
Improved Quality of Life - Patients' quality of life increases to near perfection. Recovering sight, great condition skin, working muscles, organs, nerves and touch/sense, etc. Where quality of life was dependent on available medicine until now, we can finally provide a care quality that is unmatched. 
***"Near perfect": Patients are still subject to natural disorders in their bodies. Synthetics are not a "cure all" but they can improve quality of life for affected areas of the body. Overall quality of life will still be dependent on circumstances outside the control of any medical device or treatment. In essence, sometimes patients still get cancer. That has to be treated appropriately, though synthetics can ease the pain and help patients recover after treatment in the case any tissue or organs were lost. 
*Disclaimer: The human brain is too complex for full synthetic replacement. Synthetics can be used supplementarily for damage in emergency cases, but would never be able to provide a full working brain as an organ. Additionally, full Lobe loss is currently untreatable with synthetics. 
I.e., The concept of Cloning is not viable as memories and consciousness cannot be created or transferred scientifically.
== Events ==
The Enhanced Synaptic Link Chip
On September 2, 2022, Sloane suffered a paranoid break and missing time. He mysteriously fell off of a building by Denis Labarre City Hall and woke up in Viceroy Medical Center without his phone. Later that day following Mayor Mickey S' wedding to SDSO Deputy Peach Chee, Sloane wound up in the ICU from a brain hemorrhage. The next day during brain surgery, Dr. Harlow Mathews found an enhanced synaptic link chip implanted in Sloane's brain. Sloane recounted how he and co-designer "Jonah" engineered the chip implant to interface with technologies such as an exoskeleton and a replacement spine to cure paralysis--and had tested the chip implant on themselves. Based on a repressed memory about Jonah and a black site that had resurfaced in a dream, Sloane hypothesized that the chip implant had been used to overwrite or change his memories--and was now leading to "memory collision".
Sloane's memories about "Project Ghost" eventually returned. He also remembered that his wife was a plant from the project Ghost team whose role it was after his release to keep an eye on him and act as a protection protocol.
On December 12th, 2022, days before the events of Charlie Greene's return, Sloane conferred with Charlie's sister [[Ashley Justitia|Ash Justitia] atop Mount Chiliad about his background, work, and technology. Sloane began to feel a sudden burning in the back of his neck, and suddenly passed out. Upon inspection of his body, Ash noticed a hole where the chip would have been, though it had been sealed by the immense heat given off by the severed ties of the chip. When he woke up, he was in deep pain and the chip was nowhere in sight. He theorized that it must have fallen through the grate they were on and down the face of the mountain.
After being pelted in the face by Dr. Arya Fitzpatrick with a snowball, Sloane was taken in for a quick MRI where she noticed the scar and damage from the chip. He explained to her the history of project Ghost, took her to Chiliad where the chip fell, and the torture room that was like where he was originally brought into the project. He once again passed out. Shortly afterward, Arya passed out due to the bitter cold of the snowy mountain but not before getting Sloane into the helicopter, where he was revived enough to rescue her and take her to the Sandy Hospital.
Upon her revival and recovery, they further discussed the chip, Sloane's history with Project Ghost and his former colleague Jonah, his plant wife "Hadley" whom he remained friends with, and Arya's troubles with trusting someone who would deceive him. 
The two made plans to try and recover the chip, as well as explore the possibility of it being used to connect with Jonah (who might have been the one to set off the severing protocol). Unsure whether Jonah or others might have been plotting something, Sloane hypothesized that his movements had been tracked until the chip's removal on the mountain.
The FIB vs. the CIA
At a Federal Investigation Bureau meeting on September 6, 2022, Sloane discussed whether the State Account or the Senate's Federal Account should fund the agency. FIB Agent Booba informed Sloane that he was officially hired on as the FIB's interim head of Research & Development. Sloane then interviewed and hired his neurosurgeon Dr. Harlow Mathews as the Chief Medical Officer of Apollo Integrated Ventures.
During the next FIB meeting, Sloane set off a wild panic inside of Cerberus and the Paleto Bay Sheriff's Office with a single phone conversation with Lang Buddha, wherein Sloane told him that Apollo Integrated Ventures had designed a stealth helicopter for the Federal Investigation Bureau. Agent Booba informed Lang that Sloane was a former DoD contractor and now the head of the FIB's R&D. In an emergency meeting between Lang Buddha, Dean Watson, Mayor Mickey S, PBSO Sheriff Kyle Pred, Capt. Jenny Hall, and Atty. Tim Collins, they conspired to deny all of Sloane's budgetary requests and expedite an exclusivity contract for Cerberus to supply missiles, helicopters, and equipment to both the FIB and the Unified Police Department/3.0. Mickey was stunned to read that the AIV wanted to manage the mayoral budgets, including accounting and distribution of the PD budgets, through the AIV company. Afterward in a meeting with Lang, Dean, Pred, Tim, and Booba, FIB Director Bench Guy flat-out refused to work with Cerberus, instead waiting to see what Sloane came up with. Pred openly worried that Sloane was Cerberus' "Lex Luthor". Ironically, Sloane was the one who had been trying to reach out to Cerberus for an FIB partnership.
During Mickey's struggle to stall Sloane during the contract signings, Sloane showed him his proposed defense contracting clearance badge--which Mickey admitted not reading the e-mail on. Sloane insinuated that Mickey's months of neglecting e-mails and approving the AIV business proposal without reading it could be construed as an impeachable offense. Although the statement had sounded like a thinly veiled threat, Sloane was actually trying to hint that Mickey should cover his tracks.
Paranoid that Mickey might be in on AIV, Lang and Dean conferred with Sloane and Mickey inside of Cerberus Business Center. Sloane grew indignant that AIV's State funding was being blocked because of assumptions rather than discussions. The meeting ended with Dean tasking Sloane to convince Bench Guy to sign a defense contract. Although Dean defended that Sloane had wanted to talk to them for weeks, Lang disapproved of what he perceived as a "middleman" agenda to the Cerberus Industries Armory from Sloane. Mila Smoak gave Sloane's presentation for Apollo Integrated Ventures to Lang, Dean, and Mickey, which included blueprints for (assumed) cybernetic body parts.
Lang and Dean ordered Mickey to send a future state announcement shutting down the FIB building due to health hazards, plotted how to keep control of the Mayor's Office after Mickey, and persuaded Mickey to exclusively supply to the PD instead of the FIB. The next day, Pablo Lotto sales employee Misha Standal (whose business Lang had shut down) gave more of Sloane's blueprints to Nancy Drew and Cerberus because he wanted a Cerberus opportunity rather than the FIB contracting job Sloane had offered. Misha mentioned Federal funding, AIV's partnership with the Los Santos Medical Group, and his indecision over whether Sloane was an idealist or a silver-tongued liar. Uncomfortable that Cerberus was telegraphing its movements without much new information in return, Lang pulled back on investigating Sloane further. Sloane formally resigned from the Mickey administration on September 8, 2022, and ceased all operations of Apollo Integrated Ventures.
Following the indefinite leaves of both Bench Guy and Booba from the FIB, Sloane extended a peace offering to Lang on September 20, 2022 by relinquishing both helicopter blueprints to him and Dean Watson at La Fuente Blanca. Sloane explained Trooper Olivia Copper's original helicopter request, the permanent dissolution of Apollo Integrated Ventures, and his intent to concentrate on consultation and health care projects with Bunny.
Both Bench Guy and Booba eventually did return, though the day-to-day operations of the FIB had already begun to dissolve despite the work Sloane, Posy Florian, Anna Swallows, and Odessa Pearson had been doing in attempts to keep it afloat in the absence of the the senior leadership in the wake of the Cerberus fallout. On their return, they learned that Agent Lauren Forcer had joined in with the officially and newly established Cerberus Police Department and she was removed from her position as an agent.
