A RedVsBlue FanFic by multiple authors, found [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8935380/1/Phase-One-Genesis here]] at FanfictionDotNet. This collaboration charts the beginning of Project Freelancer from the points of view of the Director, AcePilot Four Seven Niner, [[TheMedic Medic]] Killian Jay, and of course, the [[SuperSoldier Freelancers]] themselves. The story rotates between narrators that include canon characters and OriginalCharacters as the agents train and begin going on missions against the Insurrectionists and Covenant from the {{Halo}} canon as well as the simulation troopers. Alliances and rivalries build between the agents as they scramble for the top of the leader-board and attempt to chart the reason why they were here.
------

!This work contains examples of:
* TheAce - Carolina tends to stay at the top of the leader-board for a reason.
* AcePilot - Four Seven Niner and her associate, Three Four Threer.
* ActionGirl - All the female Freelancers, as a matter of course. It comes with the job.
* TheBerserker - Penn [[KickTheDog breaks a man in half]] because he can.
* BloodKnight - Pennsylvania, primarily, but Alaska shows shades of this, as well.
* BadassInDistress - During the first mission against the Insurrection.
* BunnyEarsLawyer - Alaska carries on long conversations with [[CompanionCube the ship]]. He also is a master at the JackBauerInterrogationTechnique. [[ThePollyanna Florida]] may not appear to take much seriously, but he is an effective fighter.
* CantCatchUp - How Virginia and Penn often feel in regards to Carolina.
* CodeName - All the Freelancers and pilots have them, and the only real names revealed so far in-story have been Butch Flowers, Leonard Church, and Reginald.
* ColdSniper - Wyoming and Virginia can both come off this way.
* ColdBloodedTorture - Alaksa's been on both ends of this, along with a few others.
* CompanionCube - Alaska hears the ''[[CoolShip Mother of Invention]]'' talk to him. No one else does.
* DefeatMeansFriendship - for Alaska and Florida. Maybe.
* DrJerk - Killian can come across as this, but generally has his reason, if you look at the patients...
* FictionalSport: York is a big fan of Grifball. Most of the other Freelancers of his wave have never heard of it.
* TheGuardsMustBeCrazy - The simulation troopers in the training missions are from the bottom of the UNSC barrel. They aren't very bright.
* GuileHero - York's initial run-through of paint-training was one of the fastest timed. He offered to buy the simulation troopers a round for letting him take them all down without a struggle.
* ItsAllAboutMe - Penn shows hints of this until his wake-up call.
* TheMedic - [[DoctorJerk Dr. Killian Jay]] and Massa.
* NewMeat - While many of the Freelancers come from military backgrounds, the high stakes and [[OnlyKnownByTheirNickname lack of history]] means that they all go through this stage, especially the second batch of agents to join the team.
* PityTheKidnapper - Wyoming is "held captive" by the Red Team during a simulation mission. They probably go through less stress after the other Freelancers arrive to "knock-knock" them out.
* ThePollyanna - Florida maintains a front of cheery kindness, but has simply pushed the loss of his family to the back of his psyche.
* StuffBlowingUp
* TeamMom - Massa tries to be a CoolBigSis to the other agents.
* WarriorTherapist - Florida can happily dispense life wisdom or asskickings. Sometimes he gives out both. Carolina and Alaska can also figure out a good deal about their opponents by watching them fight, but tend to use it more to break brains as well as heads.
* TheWomanWearingTheQueenlyMask - Carolina has had to be the best and toughest for most of her life. She's not good at showing anything but her IronLady shell, even when she's nervous and with people who would bond with her.
* WorldOfSnark - Just about everybody gets a few lines.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair - Virginia received the nickname "Bluestreak" in her old unit due to her black and blue dye job.
