The Prime-8's
"Some primates are primitive. Others are more advanced."
[More to the Back-Story Coming Soon!]
*a recording near the DZ Checkpoint of West 39'th Street can be found*
"There ain't no fancy words to describe who we are. We rose during the fall of New York, got knocked down, and got right back up with our fists swingin'.
We've been monitoring LMB Activity while cleaning up the Riker problem, and I gotta say... **** is hitting the fan. It's gotten so bad we've set up shop in the DZ. Livin' off what we can take from the greedy and powerful, which ain't much.
There's a reason we don't operate with the Second Wave. They're unpredictable. Naive. Most of them have gone rogue. ****in' amateurs... I don't know what's in the water over at the Second's Base, but the Second Wave is more unstable than the First. *chuckles* We might've crumbled, but the Second Wave is a whole new cookie.
We're what's left of humanity. The new beginning. An evolution within a revolution."
(( This is an idea I'm playing with at the moment, and depending on the feedback, I'll more than likely expand on it a lot. I have a lot of ideas in mind, but I have more research to do in regards to the lore. Feedback of any kind is incredibly appreciated. ))

Phone Recorded Report #1
"My name is Marissa Barren. I'm with a handful of agents who escaped the ambush outside of The Cavern, and we're still in deep s**t. A group of Rikers pushed us against the DZ walls on West 38th and forced us to hop over, right into a god**** ambush. Some of us managed to make it, but a few weren't very lucky, including JTF Officer Walker. Faye, if you're out there, we need help. Most of our unit is missing and the rest are either dead, or-- *static*"

Phone Recorded Report #2
"We got hit by an EMP four days ago. And you'll never believe who it was that hit us with it.
It was Carter. *scoffs* Turns out his unit made it out of Staten Island after all. His men call him "The Chief" now, since he doesn't want his name getting out into the DZ.. He says he and his unit were after the people that ambushed us. He says they're Rourke's men. If that's true, the Cleaners must be moving forward with their initiative."
*Agent Carter interrupts* "Who're you talking to?"
Marissa: "No-one, just documenting what's going on."
Carter: 'Turn that s**t off!"
Marissa: "Relax, it's just--" *cut*
Camera Footage
Marissa: Relax, it's just for Lau when we get rescued.
Carter: Look, I don't want ANY chance of our existence being known here yet. If something happens and the wrong people get ahold of the information that's on your phone, we're f***ed. You don't know the world of s*** you just stepped in.
Marissa: What are you talking about?
Carter: Keener's got this whole place by the BALLS. Check this out.
*Carter walks Marissa out of the room, into another room they've converted into a messy office. Carter points to a desk of information and starts scattering papers around*
Carter: Landon, Murray, White - All presumed dead.
*pause*
Carter: Yusef, Prescott, Reynolds -
Marissa: Dead dead dead, I get it.
Carter: No. You don't get it, Barren.
*Brief pause as he pulls out another file*
Carter: Your old partner Isaacs.
Marissa: ...What the f*** are you doing?
*Carter inhales deeply and sits behind the desk and sinks into the chair, exhaling*
Carter: We saw Isaacs executing Prescott and White just last week in front of the Fueling Station.
Marissa: bull****. They--
In Unison: -- were captured and killed by the LMB.
Carter: Yeah.. Lit on fire and burned alive for the world to see. Not so much. Decoy bodies..
Marissa: Why?
Carter: Dunno.
Marissa: What did you do?
Carter: Nothing.
Marissa: What?
Carter: We're 6 men strong. 7 including the Dog. But we'd be 7 men weak if we went against 2 dozen LMB strong.
*Marissa scoffs and shakes her head, turning away to take in the information*
Carter: There's something else..
*Marissa looks up to him*
Carter: We're meeting with Keener in 4 days.
Marissa: What do you mean, MEETING with Keener?
Carter: Things have changed since we broke from The Division, Marissa.
Marissa: Broke from the Division? You were presumed DEAD after the attack on the truck in Staten Island. When JTF got to the scene, the truck was destroyed.
"CHIEF!"
Carter: I don't have time for this right now, we'll continue this later.
*Carter walks out*
