Well, it looks as if your mid-level authorization from above payed
off. The following is the primary pass of what the daemons pulled from
AlphaCore. I also found a bit myself from DeltaCore. Dump follows.

+++++FILE INCLUDED: Friette.Janice.comp
*****display file.
Diana's real name is Janice Friette. She was born in New Orleans blind
from an unwed mother. Her mother owned a small shack out on the bayou,
and she worked to feed herself and her daughter. Diana had
cybereyes (fully normal ones) implanted at age 3, and then had
repeated surgery's until she reached phsical maturity to upgrade her
eyes. The upgrades were payed for be an unnamed outside source,
thought to be Alexander Jackson.

She attended school until her mother died, and exhibited magical
talent in her early teens. When she was 15 her mother was killed in
an accident. Janice Friette then disappeared.

The first evidence of her continued existance was a murder
perpetrated a few weeks following the mother's death. The corporate
manager |LOCKED DATA REMOVED| oozing blood from every pore and
orifice. According to coroners report the blood had been magically
boiled out of him. According to subsequent corporate reports |LOCKED
DATA REMOVED|. Janice Friette is/was a bokor.

! This is where I leap in. Regrettably, not even mid-level clearance
! will get you all the information you need. Bokor are voodoo. Try
! MagicNET for more detail.

Janice Friette then lead a sketchy existance, mostly as a smalltime
weapons dealer and grey operative. Records of her movements and
actions become more complete as she again starts to kill.

She targeted HMHVV sufferers in the New Orleans area. Her motives for
these actions are unknown, although it was possible that she was
aware of her fathers identity and was acting in rage. |LOCKED DATA
REMOVED|

Again Janice Friette disappeared, only to reappear a few years later
in Seattle. Having moved fully into the world of mercenary crime, she
had erased what little evidence of her identity remained and was
known only as Diana.

! No apparent signifigance to this 'nym. But heres a file of meanings
! and histories anyway.
+++++FILE INCLUDED: Name.Diana.history

Her reappearance was marked once again by a rash of slayings, ending
in the discovery of Alexander Jackson.

! Snip.
! The rest was put together by Brioreous.

She has managed to keep herself out of the limelight except for actions
relating to The Org, Maxim, and Alexander Jackson, alias Action Jackson.

AJ's relation to The Org is that he's the founder. However, due to the
destruction of all the available documents that Interpol and the German
BIS had on The Org, we do not know much beyond that. Our sources say
that he had, and perhaps still has, contacts throughout the arms
industry. He used to have a corporation that utilized these contacts to
steal weaponry which AJ sold to the highest bidder. The corp was
Military Technologies Inc, and blew itself up 3 years ago, literally.

More current develpoments: Well, AJ is wanted by Maxim Arms for numerous
crimes. The current CEO was originally two rungs down and there's
evidence that she assassinated her way to the top. She was originally
not in a position to know about The Org's likely connection to Maxim
Arms, but as she advanced, she would have become aware of it and it's
connection to AJ. Further connections show that AJ lead the raid on the
BIS datavault in Berlin that killed several dozen personel and a full
platoon of MET2000 mercs with very advanced technologies. It is also
known that the raid was held in Maxim hovertransports that had been
stolen from the MET a week prior, and that had been sold to them a month
earlier. Evidence points to the use of powered armor, vectored thrust
vehicles and what likely qualifies as micro-guided missiles. After a
barrage of 12 of these impacted a MET panzer, nothing larger than a
couple of centimeters survived the explosion. AJ disappeared and then
reappeared several weeks later, very injured, and then was arrested by
Maxim security, where he was later transfered to Maxim HQ in Boulder, Ute
sector, FRFZ. Several weeks later, there was a raid by many Seattle
runners that, while successfully retrieving AJ, should have failed. But
they all reappeared again, minus one runners known as Caine. His body
was found in the South Platte River with a single Beretta bullet in the
back of the head.

Diana is known to have led the raid on Interpol, NY. There were no
fatalities and it was simultaneous to the Berlin raid. The speed of the
assult was impressive, as was the devastation after the building was
imploded with explosives. None of the attackers was ever caught, and
Drake of Interpol was pulled from the wreckage barely alive.

During the hostilities between Maxim and the Big 8, there were many
unusual fatalities worldwide, at all levels of corporate and national
hierarchy. To this day, the reasons for some of them remain unknown due
to the lack of evidence. However, the idea of mindlock fits. The Org
was known to have used it extensively, but the proof of this does not
exist. Apparently the magical aspects of the lock are such that they do
not show up even to magically trained coroners.

Diana is not known to have had any contact with Maxim after the Org
disappeared, but she did disappear for three months from Seattle.
