When a civilian needs to disappear, Materiel generally sends a Grab Team -- whose outfit is modeled here by employee Sykes. Their targets are low threat and they're given very little equipment, generally just a sidearm and zip ties (which they like to call 'friendship bracelets')
Materiel employee Mercedes models a company outfit commonly found around oceans, the Barracuda. Comes standard with heels capable of magnetic propulsion underwater and the Obsidian Arms Hornet Honey, a gyrojet sidearm capable of firing full auto in or out of water. Inaccurately.
Operative @Caroline_Pierce takes a much needed surprise vacation courtesy of @SKWatlanta in the completed 'Come Fly Away With Me'.

"No ID. Fitbit, looks like ninety-five hundred steps. Disposable smart phone. Water bottle, cosmetics, money clip with what appears to be a couple grand, weapon, weapon, weapon... wow, grenade."

Materiel girl Scilla Necis (in festive disguise) prepares to assassinate a client that's behind on his payments. Employees like Scilla that are authorized for the tricky task of bumping off allies are affectionately known as 'mantis' operatives.
