Zachary Rayne

Operative Zachary Rayne, also known as Zachary Yoxall or Maelstrom One, is an agent working for the Office of Naval Intelligence, Section One. He generally works alongside his smart AI, Theia. However, during his presence on Gilgamesh, he instead worked alongside the rest of Maelstrom.

Interrogation
"Am I being detained?"

- The captured insurrectionist, refusing to give Rayne his name.

While preparing to relocate Maelstrom's safe-house, Rayne was interrupted by a group of unexpected visitors. Valor, a Rangers fireteam, arrived with rescued pilot Aleksandra "Sasha" Zaytseva and a captured insurrectionist.

Having heard the explosions from the crashed, Rayne was furious. He ordered everyone inside immediately, and had Valor wake up the sedated insurrectionist using ice water. Despite wanting to shoot the insurrectionist on the spot, he instead attempted to interrogate the insurrectionist with no success.

To make matters worse, Valor begins to accidentally spill information, beginning with the names of the people present. Rayne, still aggravated by the horribly executed supply drop, ordered Valor to remain completely silent.

As Rayne was prepared to simply give up and shoot the rebel, Hotel-II arrived by Spade. Cody took over the interrogation, and Valor went outside to do a perimeter sweep.

Having overheard Sasha talking to Jamison, Rayne had Sasha follow him into the back room. There, the two discussed the events of the crash and the resulting firefight. Rayne also successfully recruited Sasha to be a deep cover agent, as per her request.

When he returned to the main room, he allowed the rebel to be killed, ensuring that he couldn't tell anyone about their operation or about Sasha.

He then shortly received word from Valor of approaching insurrectionists, followed by a knock on the front door. He quickly got his MA2B out of its case and prepared for the fight.
