Ulli Trey[1] is a young Umojan Protectorate shadowguard, a psychic espionage agent. She went by the codename "Pandora".[2]
Biography
Anselm Operation
Pandora was assigned to protect a former Terran Dominion weapons engineer who had deserted. They hid at a safehouse on the planet of Anselm.
Pandora failed to protect him however, hesitating at a critical moment. This enabled Dominion forces to storm the safehouse and kill him. His wife and daughter were both badly injured in a deliberate intimidation attempt.
The wife shot Pandora twice with a needle-gun, injuring Pandora's face and blowing off her right thumb.[2]
Simonson Operation
For approximately a year,[2] the Terran Dominion had locked down the Simonson munitions factory and surrounding area. Protectorate agents had made repeated attempts to gain information from the locked down facility but failed to gain any significant information.[1] Pandora spent four months at Augustgrad, the capital city of Korhal, in order to research the secret weapons project there.[2]
However, her team leader, "Sage", got cold feet. He didn't believe the mission was worth the risks, such as potentially revealing the location of other Umojan teams in Augustgrad. Pandora was prepared to risk her life, but Sage reminded her of her poor performance at Anselm.
Pandora refused to give up, however. She created a false intelligence report showing a low number of guards at the factory. Sage felt slightly confused, enabling her to use her psionic abilities to manipulate Sage into agreeing with her. However, Sage would act slightly "scatter-brained" until the effects wore off.
By disguising herself as a bartender, she was able to kill a Dominion military liason named Colton Miersma, making it look like a heart attack. The next day she disguised herself as a hoverbike courier to visit his replacement liason, driver Rebecca Schafer. Pandora used her psiweave to disguise herself as Schafer, who was supposed to drive Commander Bartlett to the munitions factory.[2]
Project: Thor
The security checks focused on the high-ranking officer and didn't detect Pandora's infiltration.[2] Once inside, she released nanotech micro-spies to tail the commander, as he was treated to a demonstration of the Thor project. Within a few hours Agent Trey was free and clear, carrying the information back to the Protectorate; her team was thoroughly shaken by their findings and praying that some counter could be found for such a beast.[1]
