Operation Gryphon

Operation Gryphon is a supersoldier project that is considered an improvement over the Central Intelligence Agency's Operation Blackfish. It was started by Black Widow, a subdivision of the international counterterrorism unit TACITUS.
==History==
Black Widow officially launched Operation Gryphon in 2010, with the first known participants being successfully recruited into the program in the summer of that year. Unfortunately, the first few participants died due to complications with the chip implantation procedures. However, as time went on, technology made surgical implantation procedures easier and more and more people could get the chips implanted inside their brains without dying.
During the Second American Revolution, many Gryphon agents defected from the US government and the project was soon taken over by anti-government separatists, seeking to repurpose the project for their own ends. They ended up hacking SCYLLA, reprogramming it to be obedient to the rebels instead of the government. 
==Overview==
Operation Gryphon involved implanting a microchip into the head of a human being, giving them access to information grids and instant Intel. The intention was to turn the assets into living computers, able to log and instantly store information for easy retrieval.
A point of distinction between Gryphon and Blackfish agents is how they deal with aggressors in the field: Gryphon agents are trained to talk their way out of trouble rather than fight, unlike Blackfish agents, who engage in physical force when confronted with an aggressor. This is because Blackfish agents are taught to automatically asssume that anybody could be a potential aggressor, with particular signs including, but not limited to, being armed, hostile behavior, and/or aggressive speech.
On the contrary, Gryphon agents are taught to de-escalate a situation by talking down the aggressor whenever the computer chip inside the person's brain registers personnel as potential assailants. When the aggressor(s) begin(s) to get physical and actually attack(s) the asset, then physical force is on the table. Simply put, Gryphon agents are taught to avoid unneccessary violence whenever possible.

==Trivia==
*It is possible that Gryphon is the "Manhattan Project" of the 21st Century, whereas Operation Blackfish became the 21st Century version of MK Ultra.
