Freelancer Agent California was once an agent in the Special Operations program Project Freelancer.
Role in Plot[]
While ensuring the safety of the Alpha, Agent Florida has a conversation with the computer program V.I.C., under the caves of Blood Gulch. V.I.C. reveals a list of Project Freelancer agents that would be sent to replace Florida in the event that Florida died. The list included California, who was listed first as a replacement. After the conversation, Florida trips over a cable connected to V.I.C.’s computer and glitches V.I.C.’s programming, causing him to replace the list of Freelancers with random simulation troopers.
Years later, it’s revealed that all Freelancers ended up either dead or missing ten months after the Chorus-Charon war, making California’s current status unknown.
