PRT THREAT ASSESSMENT

Code Name: Babel
Civilian Identity: Unknown
Affiliation: Independent Villain
NOTE: Kill order authorized.

Power Classification:
- Shaker 8
- Stranger 2
- Trump 4

Abilities:
- Precise control over all aspects of sound waves (intensity, frequency, and spread)
- Voice mimicry
- Ability to scramble speech
- Potential to disrupt parahuman powers
- Sonic attacks capable of causing physical harm, including organ damage

Assessment:
Babel is a severe threat due to her versatile sound manipulation abilities and their wide-ranging applications.
Her power allows for devastating offensive capabilities and has minor Stranger potential.
The potential to disrupt other parahumans' abilities adds unpredictable risk to engagements.

Strengths:
- Highly adaptable power set suitable for various scenarios
- Can attack from a distance and around corners
- Capable of creating confusion and disorientation in targets
- Potential to impair other parahumans

Weaknesses:
- No enhanced durability (standard human vulnerabilities)
- Powers entirely dependent on sound
- Possible psychological instability

Engagement Protocols:
1. Mandatory use of noise-cancelling headphones for all engaging personnel.
2. Utilize visual-based communication systems to counter speech scrambling.
3. Deploy sonic dampening technology when possible.
4. Maintain distance to reduce effectiveness of sonic attacks.
5. Be wary of parahuman deployment due to risk of potential power disruption.

History:
Origin and background largely unknown. Extensive scarring suggests a troubled past.
Currently active as an independent villain in Brockton Bay.
Kill order authorized by Chief Director Costa-Brown due to her serial killings and extreme lethality.

Notes:
- Exhibits erratic behavior, alternating between cold detachment and childlike excitement.
- Motivated by both financial gain and personal amusement.
- Has no known associates.
- Displays similarities to Shatterbird. Be wary of potential Slaughterhouse Nine recruitment.

Recommended Approach:
Direct confrontation is high-risk due to the versatile nature of Babel's abilities.
Long distance engagement with lethal weaponry advised.
Operation to execute her kill order is currently pending.

Director's Note:
She needs to go, sooner rather than later. Pending an assessment of Buckshot, his particular skillset could be key here.
