Rush
Collette was headstrong, aggressive, unpredictable, arrogant, hard to work with, and absolutely worth the trouble. She was the master of the smash-and-grab. No agent that I have worked with since could match her speed and ferocity in the field. In hindsight, this was probably her undoing. Had I maintained better discipline amongst the PEIA agents we may not have lost the Istanbul Run.
—Central
Collette Phan, known as Rush, was an agent in the Pan-Euro Infosec Agency. She can be selected at the start of the game, as an archive agent.
Rush is found in the Contingency Plan DLC.

Rush won gold in the High-Altitude Dive and the 5000m Dash at the 2050 Augment Games. 'Augletes' don't often make it to retirement — the experimental nature of their augmentations tends to catch up with them before they cash out — but Collette was on track. And then the Resource Wars broke out.
Seeing her sponsorships dissipate overnight and facing the prospect of being drafted into the notorious Ground Brigades, she opted to join the PEIA. Her high profile makes her unsuitable for social infiltration work, but her raw athleticism comes in handy once subtlety fails.

Character
Impatient, impulsive, confident, arrogant, and extremely competitive. Not big on subtlety and likely not a great team player, Rush carries her celebrity athlete/diva personality with her into infiltrations and relies on speed and aggressive tactics.
Rush has no banter with other agents, although some is added in the Additional Banter mod.

- “Is this it? I was expecting more.”
- “This is going to be a cakewalk.”
- “I love outclassing my opponents.”
- “Don't slow me down.”

Final words:
- “How about we settle this one-on-one?”
