During a skydiving outing together, Jaime's parachute malfunctions and she suffers critical injuries. Steve pleads with his boss Oscar to save Jaime's life using Bionics, commiting her to become an operative for the Office of Scientific Intelligence (OSI) a branch of the CIA, as he was, if the Bionic's are successful.
