OPERATION “PERULANT CHILD” LOG:
IMPERATIVE and AVATAR deployed in a Bounty Class Dropship, their appearances altered so that only IMPERATIVE would match the description Resistance Intelligence possesses on AVATAR. Assets dressed as slaves to legitimize an alternate operation. Dropship bay further complimented with slave corpses occupying the seats. Dropship flight path betrayed to Resistance Intelligence. Objective: Resistance strike down Dropship. Upon investigation, they will CPI AVATAR & IMPERATIVE and bring them to their leadership. Target Onko Nakara “RML” may choose to interrogate the disguised IMPERATIVE, where AVATAR –likely assessed as an innocent- will be able to move somewhat freely. AVATAR’s training will dictate an attempt on Target’s life.

JSP BRIEF ENDS 

Analysis: Given that Onko Nakara “RML” is still alive, it is obvious that the last leg of Operation “Petulant Child” was not as successful as reported. However, given that he does not appear to mentioned again in the Imperial record, the Empire still firmly believed he was dead right until Liberation. Onko Nakara “RML” confirms that he deliberately disguised his identity to avoid detection. Additionally, Onko Nakara “RML” passionately believes that AVATAR is still alive and that the record must have been falsified in order to deceive Resistance leadership into lowering its guard. AVATAR is not mentioned again in the Imperial record, however there are many concerning inconsistencies in the brief. First: all descriptions and information concerning AVATAR have been deleted including commendations. If the AVATAR truly was dead, it seems superfluous to redact that information –particularly since the AVATAR was a novum (and therefore considered a “lesser” subject by the Empire). Additionally (not mentioned in this brief) 401-A10124, AVATAR’s commanding officer, was killed in some non-specific “accident” following Operation “Petulant Child”. Pattern suggests that someone was “cleaning house”, but motive is indeterminate. Regardless, there is nothing to suggest that AVATAR is alive, however, determining who he was might be of some priority to SecState/SecDef at least in order to understand what makes his file so peculiar.
 
What we do know for certain, however, is that AVATAR was thrust into many situations with little information and every expectation of failure and still managed to survive. If he is still alive, he should be considered highly dangerous.
