#ik keeper gathered a skeleton crew for the last chapter but we still never saw any other ciphers only the analysts and technicians

thinking again about the haunting of cipher nine.... to be in Intelligence, hear of the first whispers of a rising star who skyrockets to the top, be there as the entire division watches their entire careers hinge on the outcome of this singular agent's survivability, continually watch as officers and lower rankees excitedly talk of their bold independence and the sheer status they've achieved in so short a time and then suddenly, they're gone from the face of the planet.

nobody who matters will say their name. eradication day eradicates the person cipher nine was from the records along with all other mention, and life goes on without a beat. there's an empty pedestal where they used to be. they'll be back, you might think, surely on some long mission of some sort.

they don't come back.
