|Book 1| The Freelancer Program was very... controversial to say the least. 50 agents, all of which named after the 50 states. This is the story of Nathaniel Carmine; Agent New Jersey.
Takes place during The Blood Gulch Chronicles
Carolina x OC
I on...
Name: Nathaniel J. Carmine Codename: Agent New Jersey Nationality: American AI Unit: Zeta (Compassion) Status: AWOL
Agent New Jersey was one of the most decorated Freelancers the project had to offer. Which was why it was all the more shocking when he had turned his back on the project, along with several of the other Freelancers.
The one who took it the hardest was Agent Carolina. She would never admit it, but she had grown fond of her comrade, and he felt the same way towards her. The two were far too proud to admit it, but they had dropped subtle hints to each other.
And then Jersey betrayed the project. He was trying to escape on a ship when he ran into Carolina.
Carolina stared daggers through the male. "You don't have to do this," she says, preparing to get into a fighting stance.
Jersey sighed. "You know just as well as I do that the Director is wrong, C," he says. "Just let me go. You won't hear from me again."
"That's what I'm afraid of! God, you're an asshole," she says.
Jersey sighs. "You know you love me," he says jokingly. Carolina just continues to stare. "Okay, look," Jersey says, walking closer to Carolina, ripping the dog tags off of his neck. He takes her hand, placing his dog tags in them. "If it were any other person, I wouldn't be doing this. But you... You mean a lot to me." He then pulls out a folded piece of paper. "And, when you see Wash again, could you give him this for me?" Carolina nods.
After Agent Washington's arrival, he and Jersey quickly became close friends. When the Epsilon AI unit freaked out, Jersey spent most of his time with Wash while he recovered.
Jersey pulls off his helmet, revealing his short, blonde hair and emerald green eyes. Carolina then removes her helmet, revealing her red hair and green eyes, which were starting to fill with tears. She cursed herself mentally, upset that she was showing such emotions.
Jersey walked up to the girl, smiling softly. He lifts her chin up with his right hand. "Remember me," he whispers, pulling Carolina into a hug. Carolina stiffens, and by the time she relaxes into the hug, Jersey releases her. Jersey smiles softly at her. "See you around." Jersey then moved to the closest ship, and flew off the Mother of Invention.
Carolina watches Jersey leave, a sad expression on her face. "I'll never forget you," she mutters, gripping the dog tags tighter before putting them around her neck.

Soon, Jersey landed on Earth, abandoning his Freelancer name and returning to his birth name: Nathaniel Carmine.
He bounced from city to city, trying to stay out of sight. He never stayed in a city for more than a single week.
In the city of Chicago, Illinois, he finds a poster requesting for simulation troopers for Project Freelancer. Perfect.
So, within the week, Nathaniel was back in his white and blue armor, being shipped off to a box canyon in the middle of nowhere.
It is here that our story begins.
The story of the former member of Project Freelancer, Agent New Jersey.
