Unknown to the terrorists, the UDA meeting had been rescheduled. Elan herself was among the dozens wounded and she was sent to London for treatment.

After this ordeal, Elan went back to school and was likewise afforded the best education her new parents could offer. Ellen did exceptionally well in school and lost her Irish accent in the process and Anglicizing her name to "Ellen" to better fit in among her posh new friends.

*Ellen* was a very gifted student who excelled at everything from literature to mathematics and even had a very successful stint as a student athlete. interestingly, when she graduated, Ellen chose to go into the military where she was quickly recruited into military intelligence. Here, Ellen was instrumental in coordinating a number of high-profile and successful operations in the allied efforts in the Middle East under the code name "Governess".

Days later, evidence had been found hat suggested Ellen had been selling state secrets to terrorist organizations. This news was kept fairly contained by military intelligence, who leaked more sensational but less damning stories to the press to bury the story so that they could handle this "in-house". However, as of this report, not only does Ellen remain at large, but she has seemingly joined the Cadre of the Immortal as a strategist and recruiter.

**Submitted by Temp\_Admin: Jester**
VOX Detection has learned that Ellen is an ARGUS mole within the Cadre, recently reassigned Alex Parker and Hank Henderson as handlers. Further investigation pending.

Also, in this same VOX Recording, Ellen and Hank both deny that they had actually met in person. VOX analysis indicates some signs of deception in Hank's voice, but not in Ellen's. Likely that Ellen had time to plan her deception and is too skilled a liar for detection through such analysis while Hank is either not that good of a liar or he was simply thrown off-guard by Ellen's unexpected appearance.
