Atlas Intelligence Agency

The Atlas Intelligence Agency is the main Intelligence Agency of the Atlas Coalition. It currently operates much of the Shadow War waged against the Resistance Factions operating lawlessly within Coalition territory. At the same time the AIA is looking outwards into other countries, their foreign department monitoring other nations and desperately attempting to uncover PRGA plots before Atlas inevitably enters into the Second African War against the PRGA.

History
The AIA was formed in 2013 from the ashes of the CIA and FBI being fused with Intelligence Agencies from Atlas-Conquered territories. The AIA was crucial in the African War, and were able to uncover many PRGA spies and deal with them accordingly. When the war ended, the AIA's main job became liasing with scientists working on the Hyperion Project, as the AIA were able to acquire details about foreign supersoldier initiatives.

Through the 2020s and 2030s the AIA became far more integrated with the Defense and Security Forces, as the AIA mostly turned inward to take down Resistance efforts. Whilst the Security Force focused on infamous figures such as Kirill Sokolov, the AIA was more interested in hunting down the EU agent Karl Jensen and the stolen supersoldier Hyperion VI. Whilst they have made headway in locking Jensen and VI within the country through Gene Five testing at the border, they have only managed to track them down to Canada so far.

Operation Apotheosis
Operation Apotheosis was launched in 2025 after the AIA learned of the EU's Overdrive Project. EU Scientists had managed to begin work on a synthetic form of Gene Five that was becoming far more accurate than Atlas had imagined possible. Whilst Atlas had just managed to discover Gene Five in the veins of Natalie McKellen, they were highly paranoid about losing their advantage over the rest of the world. So when the EU made headway, the AIA went in to stop them.

The AIA sent a covert death squad to break into the EU's top secret genetics lab in the Alps. The squad's mission was a total success, and led to the utter annihilation of the Overdrive Project with the lead scientists lying dead in a burning facility. The squad, referred to in other files as Apotheoisis Squad, would later be deployed on many missions overseas where they left research facilities obliterated in their wake. It is believed that Operation Apotheosis led to the Valentine's Day Disaster as retribution for the Apotheosis attacks. After the Operation finally ended in 2031 when the AIA had utterly destroyed EU and PRGA progress on Metahuman Research, the feared Apotheosis Squad was redeployed into other situations. It is believed that a few members of Apotheosis Squad were later promoted into high-ranking positions whilst the remaining members continued work behind the scenes.

Operation Reclamation
Operation Reclamation was launched in early 2032 as a response to the Valentine's Day Disaster. With the leadership of Phillipe Videlle, the Reclamation Squad were able to track down nearly every enemy spy involved in the planning of the raid and eliminate or capture them. This was due to the help of Maria Lexi, who became good friends with General Eric Connelly after the Valentine's Day Disaster. Out of the agents captured during Operation Reclamation, some were keen to join Atlas in exchange for their lives. This included Jaco Clark, who barely survived the explosion. Currently, Reclamation Squad are focused on tracking down Dmitrei Ivanov-Wilheim, Samantha Ko and to a lesser degree Karl Jensen. Jensen is seen as more of a target for other departments of the AIA.

Operation Valentine's Revenge
In 2038 the AIA managed to track Jensen and VI to a group in Brazil. AIA Agents nearly caught Jensen and VI in a sting operation in Sao Paulo, and at one point had them surrounded by 'Metabuster' Agents and a single Iron Angel. Whilst camera footage is blurry, they were able to record that Jensen had gained powers similar to Elijah Samson, although weaker of course. Due to this, Jensen and VI were left to their own devices for a while as the AIA struggled to find a solution to fighting Jensen and VI. The fallout from the event was catastrophic for the AIA, as the operation had spilled into the street and many Resistance Factions gained information about Karl Jensen from his show of power.

The Atlas Intelligence Agency's Most Wanted List
This is the Atlas Intelligence Agency's Most Wanted List. This is a secret list in the Atlas Coalition as opposed to say the FBI's Wanted List.
 * 1) Karl Jensen - Jensen has knowledge of Hyperion VI's location and was complicit in her kidnapping. He is also a confirmed Metahuman and as such must be treated with extreme caution in handling. He is wanted for Murder, Kidnapping, Assault, Arson, Destruction of Property, Espionage and Jaywalking.
 * 2) Santiago Alejandro - Dr Alejandro sabotaged the entirety of the Atlas Security and Defense Forces' equipment and escaped with priceless design specifications. He provided the recipe for Metaenium to the Resistance Forces. He is a confirmed Cyborg and must be handled with care in apprehension. He is wanted for Espionage, Murder, Sabotage, Treason, Destruction of Property, Fraud, Assault, and Armed Robbery.
 * 3) Osiris - The enigmatic leader of The Sphinx, Osiris is one of the most feared and respected people in the entirety of the Atlas Coalition. Not much is known about them, but they are wanted for Espionage, Murder, Sabotage, Destruction of Property, Treason and literally anything the Coalition can pin to their name.
 * 4) Noah Chernov - Chernov carries some of the most important genetic information of the 21st century. He also murdered several Hyperion Project staff and assaulted Barnabus Rigg. He is wanted for Murder, Assault, Theft, Arson, Treason and Breaking and Entering.
 * 5) Dmitrei Ivanov-Wilheim - As Karl Jensen's ally during the Valentine's Day Disaster, Dmitrei is wanted for similar crimes. Whilst he is currently living a good life in the EU, Dmitrei has been observed several times by the Apotheosis Squad and has yet to have been attacked. He is wanted for Murder, Kidnapping, Assault, Arson, Destruction of Property, Espionage and Forgery.
 * 6) Samantha Ko - Similar to Dmitrei, Samantha is living in the EU out of standard Atlasian reach. Unlike Dmitrei, she had a run-in with Apotheosis-3, the group's secondary Sniper. Her last second realisation only caused the bullet to annihilate her eye socket instead of shattering her skull entirely. She is currently in hospital, but may never see normally again due to the sheer brutality of her injuries. She is wanted for Murder, Kidnapping, Assault, Arson, Destruction of Property, Espionage and Forgery.
 * 7) Caesar Fulmine du-Leone - Caesar is also wanted for his role in the Valentine's Day Disaster, although the charges levied against him are slightly lower in comparison. He is wanted for Murder, Breaking and Entering, Espionage and Kidnapping.
 * 8) Diego Torres - Diego Torres is wanted for similar reasons to Santiago Alejandro. Torres masterminded Alejandro's escape and in the process personally killed over 50 Security Force Officers. Torres is also a leader of a powerful Resistance organisation known as the Adamantine Guard. He is wanted for Espionage, Murder, Sabotage, Destruction of Property, Fraud, Assault, Robbery, Armed Robbery, Arson, Vehicular Manslaughter, Treason and Loitering.
 * 9) Kirill Sokolov - Whilst his ranking has declined due to inactivity, Kirill Sokolov is still considered a major threat. He is wanted for too many crimes to display.
 * 10) Gwen Williams - Whilst Gwen Williams is not considered a major criminal herself, her knowledge of Metaenium and connections with Santiago Alejandro and the Adamantine Guard have marked her out as a critical member of the Guard's Operation. She is wanted for Espionage and Treason.
