AIC

AIC (organization) is the name given to a rogue intelligence faction within the Central Intelligence Agency who were connected to the collaborators, members of a shadow group within the U.S. government.

Origins
Two years before the hostage crisis at the G-20 Summit in New York City, it was revealed by CIA Director Matthew Keyes that there was a rogue faction within the Agency with a "nefarious agenda". He also mentioned that the rogue group was formed by operatives who grew tired with the CIA's rules and they decided to operate far outside of the law where the CIA woudn't work. The First Lady, Elaine Todd, joined the AIC and became a prominent head member.

After the rogue group formed, it orchestrated dozens of terror attacks across the globe such as car bombings, plane crashes, assassinations, staged suicides such as poisonings, staged car accidents, bomb attacks, the loss of nuclear technology, and the disappearance of convicts.

Recruitment at the Farm
The AIC began to recruit people at the Farm. For example, it recruited two former CIA trainees, Jeremy Miller and Leigh Davis. Jeremy Miller, who was almost killed by the AIC because he refused to join the rogue group, faked his death and with the help of the two instructors at the Farm, Angie Reynolds and Jason Bowling. The two later formed a group called the Citizens Liberation Front to counter the AIC.

Sometime in November, the AIC also recruited Leigh Davis, who left the Farm. As part of an operation, they had her snuggle two kilos of semtex into wedding china into Surabaya, Indonesia, which resulted in the deaths of 27 girls attending a local madrasa. The Islamic Front later claimed responsibility for the terrorist attack.

Carly Klapp, a former CIA operative, joined the AIC and as part of an AIC operation, she developed a relationship with a CIA trainee at the Farm, Sebastian Chen. She later used her marriage as a cover to gain intelligence on the key people at the Farm in 2017.

Black Ops Division
Members of a CIA black ops division, joined the AIC. Wanting independent oversight, unlimited authority, and complete control of the division, many operatives, recruits, and government officials conspired against their country and joined the AIC.

As part of another AIC mission, the rogue group had Dayana Mampasi (who was presumably disguised as an AIC member as part of a black ops operation led by CIA operative Lydia Hall) and Mike Murray stage a car accident in Surabaya, Indonesia. The car accident later killed an American journalist who was rumored to be a CIA operative who infiltrated the Islamic Front.

2018 Hostage Crisis
Before the hostage crisis erupted, the First Lady contacted members of the AIC (Leigh Davis, Carly Klapp, Mike Murray, Ginny Kearns, Glen Weller, and many other rogue CIA operatives) and told them to be present at the summit. Planning to sabotage the event via starting a hostage crisis, their final plan was to extract intelligence out of the drives brought to the summit to ensure that the collaborators, members of a shadow group within the U.S. government, would achieve their goal. However, their efforts were thwarted by the Citizens Liberation Front, who received intelligence indicating that the First Lady was heading the AIC. Threatening to execute every hostage, including the First Lady and other world leaders, the CLF demanded that President Todd release infamous hacktivist, Eric Boyer. After the President complied with the CLF's orders, the First Lady was publicly executed on live television.

After the assassination, the CLF initiated a hostage crisis in attempt to identify and execute AIC members. For example, Leigh Davis, Mike Murray, and Glen Weller, who were identified as AIC agents, were executed by the CLF during the interrogation process. Sometime after the interrogation process ended, the hostages made an escape through an underground tunnel. However, Carly Klapp murdered Tony Gomez, a CLF member and stole Alex's gun. Holding a gun to Harry Doyle's head, she demanded that Alex turn over Will Olsen, the CLF's hacker, to her. She also mentioned that agents of the rogue group were planning to make sacrifices to complete their mission; to sabotage the G-20 Summit in an attempt to gain access of intelligence drives. However, Sebastian, Carly's wife shot and killed Carly, saving Harry in the process although he too was shot an injured by his wife. After, the remaining members of the AIC and the CLF successfully made their way out of the crisis zone. It is assumed that the AIC was disbanded after the hostage crisis and the remaining members possibly helped the collaborators in their plan.

Two weeks after the crisis ended, President Claire Haas formed a covert task force to put an end to threats made possible by Lydia Hall, who downloaded the drives onto the Internet. She mentioned that the AIC was affiliated with the collaborators, members of a shadow group within the U.S. government. The task force would end threats made possible by the AIC as well as the collaborators posed at the time. They would also expose the collaborator's involvement in orchestrating the hostage crisis. Haas selected Alex Parrish, Ryan Booth, Nimah Amin, Shelby Wyatt, and Dayana Mampasi to be a part of the task force. The team would be commanded by her son, Clay Haas.
