Your single, functional eye is focused on a framed, black-and-white picture; the original photograph was scanned and digitally expanded, to better depict the faces of the Howling Commandos. They were first in line to inspire the Initiative, your pet project and Great Work, if you can make this idea a reality.
Brigadier Falsworth, alias "Monty." Sergeant Barnes, alias "Bucky."
Corporal Dugan, alias "Dum Dum." Private Jones, alias "Gabe."
Private Morita, alias "Jim." Jacques Dernier, French Resistance, alias "Frenchie."
Captain Steven Grant Rogers, known to the Commandos as "Steve."
Known to the nation as "Captain America."
The Commandos broke the spine of Hydra, displaced Red Skull, and prevented America from being hit with an unprecedented, Trans-Atlantic bombing run. This came at the cost of America's greatest hero. You look down from this inspiring image, and withdraw a tiny device from the pocket inside your coat -- a modified pager, which would be outdated by now, if not for the nature of the mods. After all, it was given to you by a dear friend, and the first person who came to mind when assembling the Initiative. But she said only to use it in the most dire emergency, and this ain't that. You put it back in your coat, and stare at the dossiers before you. Manila folders, arrayed chaotically on the glass-topped mahogany desk in your office at the CIA. They will take this position again, once you relocate to your new role heading the Strategic Homeland Intervention Enforcement and Logistics Division. You've only got limited resources to get this project off the ground, and you're one man; it's just not possible to go check into all of these at once. You divide them into two piles: Personnel and Assets. Well, potential assets, but you're allowing yourself a brief moment of optimism. Hopefully, it won't bite you in the ass.
Full Name: Nicholas Joseph Fury.
Birthdate: July 4th, 1950 (born in Huntsville, Alabama).
Role: Field Agent, Central Intelligence Agency (former, now General Director at the Strategic Homeland Intervention Enforcement and Logistics Division).
Matters of Note: Peak physical fitness, military and federal agent training, excellence in firearms proficiency, tactics, tradecraft, and forensic analysis.
Recruitment Status: N/A.
Full Name: Maria Hill.
Birthdate: April 4th, 1982 (born in Chicago, Illinois).
Role: Operations Commander, Strategic Homeland Intervention Enforcement and Logistics Division.
Matters of Note: In all matters physical, combat, marksmanship, counter-intelligence, and investigations, Hill is second only to Fury himself. Ranking and respected agent prior to her inclusion in the aforementioned Division.
Recruitment Status: N/A.
Full Name: Phillip J. Coulson.
Birthdate: July 8th, 1964 (born in Manitowoc, Wisconsin).
Role: Field Agent, Central Intelligence Agency.
Matters of Note: Capable federal agent trained in hand-to-hand, marksmanship, linguistics, navigation, cryptography, woodland survival, and several other skills of varying relevance in tradecraft.
Recruitment Status: While Phil is technically still a member of the CIA, it would be effortless to get a transfer approved. You know he'd go for it.
Full Name: Clinton Francis Barton. Aliases: Clint, the Marksman, Hawkeye (call-sign).
Birthdate: June 18, 1975 (born in Waverly, Iowa).
Role: Specialist, Infiltration and Demolitions Expert, Special Agent of Strategic Homeland Intervention Enforcement and Logistics Division.
Matters of Note: Excellent marksman (proficiency with firearms inferred; Barton has only ever been seen utilizing compound bow and "trick" arrows), inviolable loyalty to organization.
Recruitment Status: N/A.
Full Name: Melinda Qiaolian May. Aliases: The Cavalry (assumed).
Birthdate: December 31, 1972 (hometown not on file).
Role: Coordinating officer in home office of Division.
Matters of Note: Remarkable field agent (formerly), pilot, and coordinator. Her current position is a waste of her talents, but after a traumatic event in the field (which she refuses to describe in any detail), she has lost all will to participate in the field.
Recruitment Status: Non-viable. Still employed by the Division, but no longer a field agent.
Full Name: Carol Susan Jane Danvers. Aliases: 'Vers (formerly), Avenger (AF), Captain Marvel (assumed).
Birthdate: October 31, 1981 (born in Boston, Massachusetts).
Role: Formerly Air Force Colonel, engaged in Top Secret FTL project, code-named PEGASUS. Currently, rogue element working against extraterrestrial imperialist faction (Kree?), and arbitrating conflicts with extraterrestrial refugees (Skrulls).
Matters of Note: Air Force training and extensive career. Recovering amnesiac. Exposure to PEGASUS failure has caused physiological changes, including dramatically increased strength, speed, and durability. Ability to project photon blasts illustrates capacity for electromagnetic energy absorption (other forms of energy possible?), which further empowers her. One such example of metahuman capability is flight, only seen after absorbing full-power barrage from extraterrestrial armada. Assume she remains capable of such means of transportation.
Recruitment Status: MIA. Claims she can be called in via modified pager; untested. Not beholden to CIA or to Division, but potentially still loyal to United States Armed Forces.
Full Name: Natalia Alianovna Romanova. Aliases: Natasha Romanoff, Natalie Rushman, others, Widow/Black Widow (assumed from past involvement with Russian espionage organization, see below).
Birthdate: December 3, 1984 (born in Volgograd, USSR).
Role: Private contractor, operating as informant, acquisitions, and contract killer. Has previously engaged with Fury in private consultation for these services, including surface-level assessment of Stark Industries and founder. Formerly in the employ of agency known only as "Black Widow," believed to be operated by "Dreykov" prior to Romanoff and Agent Clint Barton demolishing his offices. Current operator unclear; current opinion by contemporaries is that agency is defunct; Widow confirms.
Matters of Note: Peerless assassin, infiltrator, impersonator, acrobat, hunter/marksman, and judge of character. Trained to "perfection" with personalized arsenal, adapted from technology used by her previous agency.
Recruitment Status: Location unknown, contact viable. Convincing Romanoff to join may prove difficult, without sufficient motivating factors.
Full Name: Anthony Edward Stark. Aliases: Tony, Iron Man (assumed).
Birthdate: May 29, 1970 (born in Manhattan, New York).
Role: CEO of Stark Industries, controls unique arms technology which he developed, hand-built in private workshop, and personally pilots (ref. files for Ten Rings; Stane conflict).
Matters of Note: Mentally unstable; Mr. Stark displays compulsive behavior, prone to self-destructive tendencies, textbook narcissism. Contact Widow for full details of assessment, obtained during initial consultation. Sole owner/operator of powered armor weapons platform, dubbed Iron Man. Assessment of armament incomplete; includes miniaturized rockets, targeting system, some kind of unrecognized energy weapon.
Recruitment Status: Iron Man armor invaluable asset. Operator...questionable. Stark has proven resistant to consultation and discipline, refuses to turn over weapons platform to United States government. Refuses to use weapons platform for Armed Forces collaboration (see conversation record with Col. James Rhodes for context).
Full Name: Barbara Morse. Aliases: Bobbi, Mockingbird (call-sign).
Birthdate: June 15, 1985 (born in San Diego, California).
Role: Trainee in subsidiary recruitment drive for Division.
Matters of Note: Top of her class. High proficiency in martial arts, night operations, Ph.D. in biology. Primarily, "Mockingbird" has shown remarkable talent in impersonation, deception, and cryptography.
Recruitment Status: Pending. Has not been approached regarding involvement in Initiative.
Full Name: Samuel Wilson. Aliases: Sam, Falcon (call-sign).
Birthdate: September 23, 1978 (born in Delacroix, Louisiana).
Role: Trauma counselor aiding returning veterans. Formerly, Pararescueman with AF.
Matters of Note: Guilt complex due to failure in saving squadmate, leading to leaving the Air Force. Prior to departure, selected to test prototype military wingsuit for use against insurgents wielding anti-air RPGs. Skilled rescue operative, despite honorable discharge.
Recruitment Status: Unlikely to comply; Wilson does not seem mentally prepared to resume action at this time, without sufficient motivation.
Full Name: Unknown. Aliases: Thunderhead (code-name), assumed aliases not yet known.
Birthdate: Unknown.
Role: Unknown.
Matters of Note: Recent weather phenomena near Puente Antiguo, New Mexico, were followed by the deposition of 0-8-4, codenamed: Mjolnir. Design of object and burn marks on site indicate possible relation to Scandinavian mythology; inconclusive. Telemetry of incident suggests 0-8-4 may have arrived along with biological entity, recipient of code-name Thunderhead.
Recruitment Status: Biological entity has not yet been located.
Full Name: Robert Bruce Banner. Aliases: Hulk (assumed by altered state).
Birthdate: December 18, 1969 (born in Dayton, Ohio).
Role: Particle physicist, radiologist, and molecular biologist, specializing in the effects of gamma radiation on cnidarian, reptilian, avian, and mammalian anatomy. Presently fugitive pursued by Armed Forces for staggering preponderance of crimes, most of which perpetrated by altered state, a size-variable giant with green skin.
Matters of Note: Banner's altered state manifests in high adrenaline activity, resulting in physical alterations to size, strength, speed, and rate of recovery (healing/stamina). No known munitions can meaningfully harm "Hulk," except potentially nuclear armament. This method is not to be tested, as it was gamma radiation that created this altered state in the first place. Effect of nuclear detonation unknown.
Recruitment Status: While there are speculations as to Banner's current location, nothing is confirmed. Banner has not proven willing to communicate openly or seek cooperation. May be possible to exploit desire for cure, or personal relationship with Dr. Elizabeth Ross.
Full Name: Stephen Vincent Strange, M.D., Ph. D.
Birthdate: November 20, 1976 (born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania).
Role: Prolific neurosurgeon; no experience in any relevant field.
Matters of Note: Dr. Strange is noted here for his potential to help the Division, if his talents were put to proper use. However, he is no field agent by any stretch, and is known to be unwilling to take cases that are not meant to advance his prestige as a surgeon.
Recruitment Status: Unlikely to comply, even with incentives, but this is insignificant. Strange's use as a doctor does not fully qualify him for membership in the Initiative.
Full Name: Matthew Michael Murdock. Aliases: Matt, Daredevil (assumed).
Birthdate: October 20, 1985 (born in New York City, New York).
Role: Criminal defense attorney, known vigilante (the connection between Murdock and Daredevil is not public).
Matters of Note: Heightened senses allow Murdock to navigate normally despite his impaired vision. He is a skilled martial artist and experienced crime-fighter.
Recruitment Status: Inactive. Murdock is not currently being pursued, but could be reached.
Full Name: Jessica Campbell-Jones. Aliases: Jess, Jewel (formerly).
Birthdate: September 9th, 1993 (born in New York City, New York).
Role: Formerly conducted herself as a costumed vigilante, but has left the uniform after involvement with Zebediah Killgrave. Now, she is a private investigator who seeks to conceal her possession of metahuman abilities.
Matters of Note: Extremely strong and durable, capable of flight.
Recruitment Status: Unlikely to comply. Campbell-Jones is belligerent, often inebriated, and dangerous to be around. Beyond that, she has proven difficult to recruit by other actors in her past (including Killgrave himself, who has pheremonal ability to manipulate people).
Full Name: Henry Jonathan Pym. Aliases: Hank, Ant-Man.
Birthdate: 1941, Nebraska.
Role: Used to be a Top Secret operative in the military, code-named "Ant-Man," using proprietary technology to evade detection, subvert CQB scenarios, and infiltrate missile silos. Former CEO of Pym Technologies; now, retired. Current whereabouts and activities unknown; does not correspond with most recent listed address.
Matters of Note: "Pym Particle" technology enabled Pym to shrink down to 1/100th of his normal size, while maintaining physical aptitude. This gave him remarkable speed and strength, and resilience to harm. Reason to believe data on Pym's capabilities is incomplete.
Recruitment Status: Location unknown, no known means of communication. After parting ways with the Division due to conflict of interest, he has been entirely beyond contact.
Full Name: James Howlett. Aliases: Logan (assumed), Wolverine (call-sign).
Birthdate: Unknown (presumed hometown in Canada, exact location unclear).
Role: Participant in black-site testing program dubbed "Weapon X." Exact parameters of testing and relationship with program unknown. Last seen in Concord, New Hampshire; participant in illegal fight clubs.
Matters of Note: Incredible physical resilience; data profile incomplete. Longevity; data profile incomplete. Consummate knife fighter, presumed master of sleight of hand; data profile incomplete. Logan's birth certificate is not on file in any known country and he does not have a passport; illegal immigrant.
Recruitment Status: Exact location unclear, no known means of communication. Perhaps contact can be established through Charles Xavier (see Westchester files). Allegiances are in question; data profile incomplete.
Full Name: Captain Steven Grant Rogers. Aliases: Steve, Captain America (assumed).
Birthdate: July 4, 1920 (born in Brooklyn, New York).
Role: Former participant in combat of World War II, downed a Hydra bomber headed for New York City. Disappeared until recently recovered from Arctic ice; currently in cryo-suspension, pending release and reacclimation.
Matters of Note: Unknown physical protocols resulted in Captain America boasting peak physical condition in all attributes, durability enhanced to slightly beyond human standard. Much of his capability is the stuff of legend. Exact data to be determined pending release from cryo-suspension.
Recruitment Status: Pending.
(Please carefully read the Personnel files before making the following vote. If you assign a task to one agent, the ensuing d% roll for results will play out as follows: 1-39 Abject mission failure; 40-49 Primary objective met with disastrous failure, but some valuable intel gathered; 50-69 Primary objective not complete, valuable intel/secondary assets gathered toward future success; 70-89 Primary objective complete, some data missing; 90-100 Total mission success. If you send a pair of agents on the same assignment, the three median ranges expand by 10% each, but total success remains unchanged. So long as Fury stays at headquarters, performing oversight, total success range expands by 10% (80-100). You may send Fury/yourself on assignment, but doing so denies you the +10% bonus from Fury's oversight.)

(At present, the following options are not available: Fielding the Cavalry or Avenger, putting Fury in the field with three active agents, assigning no agents, assigning only Fury)
(In addition to the Personnel vote above, please carefully read the Asset files before making the following vote. You may vote for one option per active field agent, including Fury if you field yourself. A pair of agents can only take one assignment at a time. Currently, you cannot assign more than two agents to a single task. Note: I will be taking the assignments that get the most votes, and putting the agents on them that got voted the most, so things may turn out slightly different than any of you expected.)
[] Contact Widow regarding a formal contract with the Division. (doing so will secure a standard agent for Personnel, and open up some options and story paths relating to Natasha Romanoff)
[] Inform Iron Man of his value in the "Avenger Initiative," and attempt to secure his cooperation. (doing so may secure a heavy-hitter in combat and technology, assisting in the development of advanced defenses, and open up options and story paths relating to Tony Stark)

(doing so may secure a heavy-hitter in combat, and a valuable research asset, and open up options and story paths relating to Gamma Radiation)
[] Contact the hospital for Stephen Strange's personal information, and reach out to him with promises of a highly exclusive medical program under S.H.I.E.L.D.

[] Make a visit to the offices of Nelson and Murdock, in order to recruit Daredevil. (doing so will secure a standard-ish agent for Personnel, and open up some options and story paths relating to the Defenders)
[] Drop in on Alias Investigations, and attempt to recruit Jewel. (doing so may secure a heavy-hitter in combat, and cunning investigative mind, and open up some options and story paths relating to the Defenders)
[] Go to the grassroots and try to locate Pym. This may be more difficult than other assignments. Maybe you'll have to set a trap... (doing so, if it succeeds, may secure a juggernaut of cutting-edge engineering and particle physics, and open up some options and story paths relating to Atomic Energy.
[] Prowl bars in New England looking for Logan. Try to get him to help, but bear in mind, he's not easy to deal with. (doing so may secure a heavy-hitter with serious staying power, and open up options and story paths relating to Mutants)
[] Time to defrost Cap, and get him back in action after all these years. (doing so secures a solid all-rounder, with leadership and tactical skills, and open up options and story paths relating to Super Soldiers)
Mission 1 - Hill pursues Iron Man (roll: 17; result: Abject Mission Failure)
Maria Hill goes to Stark Industries, and tries to recruit Tony. Regrettably, he is an egotistical prick to her, and she gives Pepper Potts a bad vibe. This personal friction results in mission failure, and Hill isn't able to gather any valuable information.
(Attempts to recruit Iron Man remaining: 1)
(If the next attempt to recruit him fails, Iron Man will no longer be available)
Mission 2 - Phil decants Captain America (roll: 34; result: Primary Objective Disastrous, Some Valuable Intel Gathered)
The decanting process is successful, but Steve is haunted by his past and obsessed with training in the gym. Phil's approach to him, unfortunately, comes off as desperate fanboying, pushing Steve further toward an independent pursuit of the decades of culture he has missed. The recruitment effort fails outright. When pressed, Steve says Hydra is dead and World War II is over, so he has no need to fight anymore. Further work on Phil's part uncovers that Steve had an old flame back in the war, a British agent named Peggy Carter. This could be potentially useful information as to Rogers' motives.
(Attempts to recruit Captain America remaining: 1)
(If the next attempt to recruit him fails, Captain America will no longer be available)
Hawkeye plays it too familiar and too aggressive when dealing with Widow, and ends up provoking a fight. She wins, handily, and leaves Barton a battered mess on the floor. He'll recover, but she's in the wind now. No trace of where she went, and Black Widow on the run means you don't find her. Not for a while. In the fight, Hawkeye did pick up some intel. Widow is haunted by her dark past, and is trying to work independently to make good on what she's done. Intel doesn't really indicate much of what she's done, before or after Budapest.

[X] Activate three agents, while Fury runs oversight (One Agent for one of three Missions)
-[X] Comander Hill
--[X] Attempt thorough investigation of Gamma's last-known whereabouts, and if found, offer Banner resources for ...
-[X] Phil
--[X] Persuade Falcon to reinstate and join the "Avenger Initiative." (doing so may secure an advanced operative for ...)
-[X] Hawkeye
--[X] Speak to the recruitment program about fast-tracking Trainee Morse's graduation, and recruit Mockingbird ...)
Rolled result for Hill - 23 (Abject mission failure)
Maria Hill goes to three different sites where Gamma is said to have been, finding nothing but dead leads. She returns to base disappointed, and wondering if Banner is even still alive out there. (If Gamma is selected again, and the mission fails, he will evade your grasp forever)
Rolled result for Phil - 38 (Primary objective met with disastrous failure, but some valuable intel gathered)
Sam is entirely unreceptive to what Phil has to say. He's uninspired, and looking for something to give him a real sense of motivation. Coulson has an angle on what that might be, but it's possible that he's just projecting. (If Falcon is selected again, and the mission meets abject failure, he will refuse further contact)
Rolled result for Hawkeye - 56 (Primary objective not complete, valuable intel/secondary assets gathered toward future success)
Hawkeye has successfully convinced Morse to join up, when her training program is complete. Attempts to fast-track that process are largely unsuccessful, but some ground is made toward convincing the administration.
Updated mission selection:

The following options are also available for pursuing new Assets. Bear in mind, they have been marked "Options About To Burn," and will no longer be available if met with dramatic enough failures.
[] Falcon was unwilling before, but with new information and a different approach, maybe you can get him to join the Division (if met with abject failure, he will no longer take your calls)
[] Attempt thorough investigation of Gamma's last-known whereabouts, and if found, offer Banner resources for a potential cure as bait to bring him into the fold. (if this fails again, Gamma will be forever beyond your reach)
[] Try again to secure the loyalty of Romanoff (if this fails again, Widow will evade you at every turn)
[] Take a different approach to win over Tony Stark and get him to work with you in the Division (if this fails again, he will be actively antagonistic to the Division)
[] Captain America now walks the world again, after decades of being suspended in ice. But he wants nothing to do with the Division. Convince him that the war isn't over, and the enemy is still at the gate. (if this fails again, he will be entirely impossible to contact further)
