PROFILE: Kentucky is one of the oldest agents in the project. While his age was a major detrimental factor, in his previous service as a marine Agent Kentucky had been a recognised soldier. It was hoped that this would transfer over well into his time at project Freelancer. Unfortunately, Kentucky's time in the army had only left him with a deep loathing of working in teams. I tried him with all of them: A mission with Florida and Wyoming, a mission with Virginia, California and IOWA, nothing suited him. The simple fact is that agent Kentucky does not work well with others. To this end, the majority of his missions have been alone.

ALLIES: Kentucky seems to have no respect for many members of the project. While he is slightly more welcoming to the low boarders, the only person he call a 'friend' is Agent Alabama.

MISSIONS:
-Kino: This was Agent Kentucky's first mission in the project. My initial plan was to have him work alongside agents Florida and Wyoming as heavy firepower. This mission was to stop an extremist group that had taken control of the civilian vessel The Kino. This was an effort to show the world the possibilities project Freelancer had beyond fighting Covenant or Incursionist forces. Florida and Kentucky were supposed to enter the ship and silently disable the bombs the group had set, before killing all the terrorists aboard and rescuing the hostages. Agent Wyoming would be providing sniper cover via a railgun on a small fighter craft. The plan would have worked. But Kentucky decided he, quote; "Hated Florida and his prissy face". Agent Florida is generally thought of as one of the most relatable, most liked Agents. Agent Kentucky chose to abandon Florida, and went on his own plan. On a mission of such high stakes, such an error might have meant forced removal from the project. But Agent Kentucky somehow managed to get onto the bridge of The Kino, and shot dead all the hijackers onboard. Some of them were using the hostages as human shields. It was an incredible show of marksmanship, but also a foolish one. Kentucky left without securing any of the other objectives, and left it to Florida and Wyoming to clear any remaining hostiles and help the hostages escape. This marked Agent Kentucky rapidly moving down the board.

Triesta: Kentucky had alot to make up for. His next mission was with the low boarders the find a rebel leader and extract key information from him. Kentucky went in with the others and used his Nova suit tech to shatter a skyscraper in half. When the leader took off in his ship to try and escape, Agent Kentucky was able to shoot it down with a rocket launcher. Kentucky preformed well in the mission, and I believed him ready for a more complex, important mission.

Hogans Hideaway: Ex Marine Joseph Hogan left military service in a dishonourable discharge. He did not leave quietly, and used his access clearance to steal several important files of UNSC data. He then sold them to an unknown buyer, and used the money to relocate to a distant moon where he set up an anti government station, on which he commonly talked about government corruption and several black ops missions he was aware of. It was decided by UNSC officials that he needed to be taken out, and his data retrieved. While Agent Tennessee worked on recovering the stolen files, Agents Virginia, California and Iowa were sent in to stop Hogan's broadcast. He would have to be despatched without any outside knowledge. Agent Kentucky had all but demanded a mission, so I sent him in as their driver and backup firepower. Kentucky landed the craft on the dark side of the moon, and then drove them to Hogans Hideaway, as it had become known. The trio of stealth agents went in to silently disable all alarms and defences and eliminate Hogan. Agent Kentucky, however, became bored waiting for the others to finish. So bored, in fact, that he saw fit to drive back to their pelican and use it in an all out aerial assault to blow up the entire moonbase. In the resulting chaos, Agents Virginia, California and Iowa barely escaped alive, and Hogan sent off a final message before his demise. This turned him into a martyr, and in the eyes of the general public the incident became one of the key examples of political corruption. Agent Kentucky had single handedly stripped almost all faith that the UNSC had in project Freelancer. It was, however, not possible to outright remove agent Kentucky. The UNSC wanted him as far away from the project as possible, and it was decided that Kentucky would be kept within the project as a detention sentence rather than voluntary service.

Halistorm: I was extremely reluctant to allow Agent Kentucky on anymore missions. However, Halistorm required the combined assault of all the Freelancers, and Agent Kentucky was still a powerful foe. He was sent in alone to take out a nerve centre, which contained several intelligence officers that were conducting the resistance efforts in the area. In his usual style, Agent Kentucky rammed his ship straight into the enemy, causing depressurization on their ship. While most of the crew were panicking, Kentucky went in and killed all of the men and women inside with a pistol. This mission showed me that Kentucky, underneath the extreme ego, was still a good soldier. From this point forth, all missions he was sent on were solo missions.

Signal 627: An illegal genetics lab on a distant moon had sent out a distress signal, claiming their creations had gotten loose. As most of the other high ranking agents were otherwise occupied, I sent Agent Kentucky in with orders to kill anything hostile. When he got there, Kentucky reported that there was no personnel of any kind at the base. He then claims to have been attacked by numerous large humanoid creatures that breathed fire. He turned up back at the Mother of Invention a week later with severe burn injuries and most of his armour in critical states of disrepair. Agent Tennessee looked into he distress message, and traced it back to a large shell corporation. Whoever created the things in that lab either wanted their mess cleaned up, or wished for a livefire test of their miscreations. Kentucky made a full recovery, and soon wanted to get back into the field.

Uplink: In his regular searches of various databases, Agent Tennessee came across a plot to bomb an uninhabited planet. Kentucky was sent in to what was classified as a low level threat. When he got there, he found a Covenant city, the likes of which had never been seen within human space. The political situation between the Covenant and human forces were already strained, Agent Kentucky was instructed to disarm whatever bomb was on site to destroy the colony. Kentucky made no such attempt. Clearly the racial bigotry from his time in the war still held fast in his mind. He did nothing to stop the bomb, and before another team could be sent in sixteen high grade explosives went off around the city. Kentucky left without notice, and the Covenant glasses the planet rather than risk it being found. UNSC have officially demanded that Agent Kentucky be stood down and brought in for a military tribunal. However, he was released without charge and put back into active duty, leading me to believe that whoever was behind the attack pulled enough strings so as to get Kentucky out of trouble, and stop him from revealing the details of the assault.

NOTES: Agent Kentucky is a survivor of the war, and it shows both in his physical skill and his mental state. He holds racial biased views towards all alien life, believes entirely in his own superiority and his time in the marines has clearly left him with a deep resentment towards working with others. Were it up to me, Kentucky would be removed from the project. As it is, my hands are tied by higher ups who wish to keep him where he can do no more harm. I have decided to remove Agent Kentucky from any future missions, and if anything is to come of this investigation I hope it is his removal from my project.
