OpAphid

OpAphid is the codename of an operative who has done work for both the Order and TAAG. She once ran the Operation APHID division of the Order, using forceful tactics, drugs, and deception to work against Bree Avery's wishes. Sometime after Bree's death via Ceremony, OpAphid discovered the truth that the Order had betrayed her, and began working against them.

Background
OpAphid can be traced back to her first appearance, the video You Made the Right Choice, Bree!, in response to Bree's My Difficult Decision video. OpAphid has since posted comments and videos to Bree, Daniel, and Cassieiswatching. These are generally warnings, some of them nicer than others, that insinuate that OpAphid is connected to Bree's religion, and that Cassie and Daniel should watch their step carefully.

Along with warning Cassie and Daniel about watching their step, OpAphid seemed to be documenting her battles with Resistance operative Tachyon and Tachyon's partner, Brother. At some point, Tachyon broke into one of Operation APHID's storage departments. OpAphid was outraged at this, and decided to go after her, taking use of her cell phone and other things. Even later, OpAphid hired the Cowboy to kidnap Daniel, whom she then drugged.

Later, Nikki Bower reported that OpAphid was missing, along with Tachyon and Brother. Fans believed Nikki, but OpAphid logged into her YouTube account on May 24th, 2007, leaving this message:

"OpAphid"

- right there above you right there above you

right there above you

Oh dear.

--

Rumors of MY death have been greatly exaggerated...

Some things are secret for a reason. There are people whose lives are dedicated to keeping

them that way.

Fans have speculated many meanings to the message, including Gemma still being alive, or the message being a Cassie-esque sign-off.

Redearth88
OpAphid has been seen in the Redearth88 storyline. No longer working for OpAphid, War Pylol attempted to kidnap Rachel but he was killed trying. OpAphid however stayed mute the whole time until eventually she herself kidnapped Linc and apparently Rachel, though that could be debated. Linc was never seen again, but Rachel was set free sometime after. OpAphid later declared that she had discovered the truth - that the Order had ruined her life, her childhood, and her family. She posts a video telling her "former associates" they should have killed her when they had the chance.
