nah I like Cassie her story is about to get interesting, as if it isn't already
That doesn't explain Super Dex. Why would you want a dodging meatshield?
I figured that they were used for infiltration and assassination type stuff. Cassandra doesn't get all glowy or turn to steel. She looks a relatively normal young girl (which would exploit mental weaknesses in human troops). Possibly, the Cassandra's would even be programmed to act fairly normal. Until the programing activates. At which point the Cassandra rips some peoples' hearts out, disables security systems and sabotages the robots, and then let's in waiting Pantheon death squads (with real elites). Since the Cassandras are manufactured, they then kill her too. Since everyone in the base is then dead, nothing would really connect the attack to the Cassandra. So they do it again somewhere else with another Cassandra.
Eventually, enemies would catch on and figure things out, but the infrastructure for making lots of Cassie's is in place. So they can use them as expendable fodder. Once the enemies know that the Cassandra's are created, the Pantheon can release (or let forces "rescue") some Cassandra's with bugged conditioning. Except maybe some of them aren't so bugged after all, which let's them use the Cassandra's as sleeper agents again. The whole no memory/rogue trooper might be a way to get them inside defenses again.
Hmm. Nothing prevents that from being true with our Cassie.

Please, no team names with American in it. Stupid Pseudo-Patriotism Propaganda. "Hi this is our hero team, American Spirit. Sure there is only 1 or 2 members that are actually American, the rest are Canadian, Mexican, Greek/Russian or whatever. But we put the American in charge so it's ok."
Gag!
Gag!

Just so everyone doesn't think I hate all movies or anything, just a heads up that both The Punisher and Kill Bill Vol. 2 were both kickin'. Punisher was pretty cheesey, but very 'comic-booky' and action packed. Kill Bill wasn't as good as the first one, but was enjoyable nonetheless. David Carradine was great and Uma Thurman's still hot. And Gordon Liu as Pai Mei stole the show (or at least the part he was in).

Ouch. Actually, only 2 of 8 (9?) future team members were not born in America. Plus, you'll be working for the American government, and will all eventually be American citizens, working to protect American interests. And perhaps you can explain the meaning of "Pseudo-Patriotism Propaganda". How is it pseudo and why is it propaganda?
That said, I'm rather partial to Aegis, though I'm not sure it's a good acronym, as Pugs has shown. And as I said before, I like the idea of the three teams being called (American) Freedom, Liberty and Justice, but maybe that's just me.

Sorry for generalizing, but hey, blame the press!
Because we're Canadian and don't understand the vocal patriotism and constant propaganda the US government releases (or tries to) through the press? It's a lot of beer drinking, chest thumping to us. Thanks to how the majority of the US press operates, we only see the negative aspects of things as well.
I mean, come on... our entire patriotism involves singing the national anthem at hockey games and sayins "I AM CANADIAN!" Which, of course, is a beer company logo. Oh, and shaking our heads at the antics of the Americans and their bumbling, stumbling, fibbing president.

Ok, this isn't the place to talk politics, but that didn't answer my question. You took it out of context. I meant in refernece to the name of an American government sponsored elite team. The team is American, is it really going overboard to call it American? Is calling the hockey team that represents Canada at the World Cup this fall 'Team Canada' pseudo-patriotic propaganda? And don't say that's not the same thing. Brett Hull is Canadian and Peter Nedved is Czech.
