Brynn Lovell

Brynn Lovell, also known as "Sparky", was a member of STAR's Intelligence Squad who infiltrated the Arthro Taskforce at some point between versions three and four, serving as a mole. Not much of her history prior to this infiltration is known, aside from that she presumably escaped Test Run 8 with most of STAR, was 19 years old during version four, and had killed people before the mission to AT headquarters. During the infiltration, Brynn presented herself as a highly energetic, but quiet and nervous young woman - how much of this was an act isn't known, but she was careful to let on as little about herself as she could.

"Sparky" kept to herself for much of her time with the Taskforce, interacting mostly with fellow techies and Big Four member Melvin Carter, with whom she seemed to get on decently. When Liz Polanski managed to disable her collar, Sparky was forced to execute Achlys, her superior, who had dismissed the problem when Polanski was seen gathering materials. This encouraged her to keep her head down even more, focussing just on doing her work while on shift.

In secret, Brynn was using her position to pass information along to her fellows in STAR, piggybacking her broadcast on the terrorists' signal. This was noticed by Steven Wilson of the Big Four at the beginning of day seven, and he put Dorian Pello on locating the source - which led right to "Sparky". The next day, Carter confronted Sparky at her workstation, along with Warren "Ace" Hyderdaul, Jack Dunlop and Braden. They had intended to capture her alive, but knowing what would happen to her anyway, Sparky opted to go down fighting, strafing the group with gunfire and killing Carter and Braden before Dunlop and "Ace" shot her down.

Though her mission ended with her discovery and death, STAR itself wasn't compromised, and she'd been able to pass on numerous reports on the terrorists' activities, as well as information on the collar suppression signal and the location of the island and HQ. This allowed STAR to make a move, leading to the rescue attempt and successful assault on the AT's headquarters, which resulted in 29 students being rescued and heavy casualties and destruction in HQ, including the death of Danya and Dorian's defection.
