EDIT: Looks like we're going with option #2. Post-film, with two teams of extractors -- canon and OCs. Plot details are TBD, but I'm aiming for a total of about 10-12 characters, with 5-6 on each team. Basic plot: The clients have hired two groups, those at the top of the extraction field, to obtain information held by a mark, to ensure that at least someone can get through to the target. Each person has their own different motivation to work for this company, whether it's purely money, blackmail, or a double-crossing scheme. Though they are rivals, in the end, they might have to work together for their survival.
Canon characters currently held:

Ariadne - world_builder
