Agent Nova Skye

(E.P.S.A. Collab) [EPSA CONFIDENTIAL CASE FILE — EYES ONLY] SUBJECT: Agent Nova ALIAS: “Nova Skye” CLASSIFICATION: [RESTRICTED: Xeno-Level Clearance Required] FILE AUTHOR: Dr. Carol Cornelius, Head of EPSA Behavioral Assessment & Agent Relations --- INITIAL OBSERVATIONS: Agent “Nova Skye” was first observed during Operation Blackwater Splice, arriving without formal records yet displaying combat skill and protocol knowledge equal to Tier 4 operatives. All entry credentials passed scans, but deeper analysis revealed sophisticated fabrications—using techniques not of Earth origin. Nova claims to hail from a “remote Icelandic village” that no longer appears on record. When questioned, they often respond with charming deflections and surreal metaphors—e.g., “solar flares and egg-bearing rituals.” --- BEHAVIORAL ANALYSIS: Nova is not hostile, not unstable—just... not human. Their speech alternates between technical precision and bizarre humor. They mimic Earth idioms poorly (“kick the bucket” was used during disposal of an actual explosive). Eye contact is held 1.3 seconds longer than average, often unsettling but not aggressive. Notable traits include: Zero signs of malicious intent Strong empathy markers Protective instinct toward EPSA teams and civilians Nova has intervened in three missions outside their assignment zone to safeguard others—risking personal injury to do so. --- RECOMMENDATION: Maintain field status under discreet surveillance. Nova’s alien origin is clear, but their intentions remain benevolent. Their unique perception has already proven critical in identifying threats undetectable to current EPSA tech. There is something in their gaze—like they’ve seen what’s coming. We may need them more than we know. — Dr. C. Cornelius EPSA Level 7 Analyst “There are stranger things than aliens in our ranks. At least this one’s polite.”
