OpAphid Vs. Tachyon

People

Summary

OpAphid emerged encouraging Bree, telling her that she was making the right choice by doing the Ceremony. She then posted a series of videos mocking Cassie and declaring her a "psychic vampire". Tachyon, while working undercover as a low level employee for the OpAphid organization, posted three ambiguous videos as messages to Brother, her partner. One night, Tachyon fled her job and broke into one of OpAphid's information gathering facilities and stole important files. OpAphid called upon the audience to intercept this information as Tachyon left it for Brother to pick up. Tachyon only left a small piece of the information, so over the course of the next several weeks, the audience continued to intercept Tachyon's drops as she left them for Brother in different locations in California. Through these drops, it was discovered that Gemma was part of the Order and that she had been dating Brother while they were both in England. Gemma had set Brother up to be killed by War Pylol, but Tachyon secretly saved him. In return, Brother shot Gemma after some encouragement from Tachyon.

After Gemma's supposed death, OpAphid kidnapped Daniel and brainwashed him into posting a video to encourage Bree to do the Ceremony. With Tachyon and Brother's assistance, Bree and Jonas were able to rescue Daniel from the Order. Tachyon then spent some time training Bree at an undisclosed location in the woods. After this Tachyon and Brother probably received a new assignment, and no longer interfered with Bree and her friends. OpAphid and her agents vanished without a word.
