Re: Heat Signature Located
Sir,
We detected a heat signature today in a college within central London at 15:06:54 GMT time; I've checked the data and this time corresponds directly with the death of Captain Erin Rodderick. I am certain we have located her successor. How a potential on Earth of all places managed to evade our gaze is beyond me. Thermal imagery would suggest our target is the dark haired woman in the photo that I've enclosed within the attachments. Unfortunately I do not have the clearance needed to do a background search on the target.
Awaiting further instructions.
Dr. Brynn Cole.

Re: Heat Signature Located
Excellent work doctor; I've given you clearance to access several of our databases that should prove useful in identifying and creating a profile on our girl. I'm sure I don't need to make it clear to you that time is of the essence here.
Oleg reach out to our friends in the Alliance, find out if they're too busy mourning to have noticed the heat signature.

Re: Heat Signature Located
The body's still warm but they already have their sights set on the new girl. Alliance have several bases in London. We cannot beat them there.
My agents were able to destroy the surveillance footage before the Alliance could get their hands on it. As such they're going in blind; that said we do not have much time.
If you've managed to get an agent within the ranks of SLA-R it may be easier to allow them to secure the girl for us. The Alliance is in mourning and desperate for a win; they'll put up a hell of a fight to secure this girl.
Awaiting orders.

Re: Heat Signature Located
Our girls name is Naomi Lockhart. Pretty thing and older than the last one was; smart girl, fairly uneventful life, and wealthy parents. I've enclosed all the information I could find in the attachments.

Re: Heat Signature Located
Oleg, mobilise your best and get to London. Securing the girl before the Alliance begins to train and indoctrinate her against us is by far the better option. Should she fall in the crossfire obtain a sample of her blood while it's still warm and send it to the Pragia facility.
Doctor, track her movements by security camera and keep Oleg's team updated.
The Illusive Man.
