Psychological Report:
"I can't say I was expecting Specialist Kannenberg to be as affable as she was when we first met. Reading over her career notes, it becomes a bit more clear that the woman tries to keep herself as busy as possible, and every moment you can pull her away from her workbench is a much-needed breath of fresh air for her, even if she doesn't realize it in the moment.

Winter, as I see it, needs her hands to keep her grounded. EFT Zürich gave her the kick in the arse she needed to get her going but failed to keep her in the lab after they tossed a diploma to her. Cambridge tried to keep her captivated, but ultimately you can't keep a wandering mind cooped up in a lab without something breaking. The world was moving too slow for her liking - it's no wonder she enlisted. I don't think she can discern the difference between work and play. Could backfire. Might be best to try and push her to take the leave she's earned. But I think it's best to play it by ear. She gets the job done, she communicates with her squadmates when she needs to. She's played well for three years and I can't yet see the cracks, and that's all I need for now.

I like her style. Give her some chemicals to play with and some analog equipment and she's right as rain. Lass after me own heart. If only she could pry herself away from that damn bench."

PBX-Poly12 "Taschensturm" explosive foam

A thermosetting, quick-drying polyurethane foam carrying polymer-bonded explosives contained within a small spray canister. This explosive foam can be sprayed on a surface in any pattern one wishes. A sonic detonator is then pushed into the hardening foam, which will only detonate the explosives when a specific ultrasonic frequency at a high enough volume is emitted within its detection radius, effectively bypassing increasingly-common signal-jamming equipment. Winter is able to deploy the Tachensturm through a hand-held CO2-charged spray gun. She usually carries three canisters of PBX-Poly12 - a compound of her own design - as well as a full kit of detonators and an analog "sound gun," essentially a small, handheld directional speaker capable of broadcasting the appropriate detonation frequency.

Bio:
Winter was born to Frederik and Ada Kannenberg in the small community of Lindenau, just outside of Leipzig, Germany. While her father was a military historian of mild acclaim, her mother was more or less the family breadwinner as a Professor at the Institute of Chemical Technology within Leipzig University. Ada's passion for chemistry rubbed off on her daughter, whose studious nature would soon see her pursuing a double-major in both organic and inorganic chemistry at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zürich. Her Master's thesis, titled Independent Replication of Inorganic Self-Folding Polymer Structures Through Simulated Biopolymeric Monomers made quite a stir in the academic community. Despite graduating Summa Cum Laude from the Institute, little inroads were made into pursuing her thesis by the Institute. Dissatisfied, Winter gladly accepted an invitation from the University of Cambridge, who were much more interested in continuing her research. After spending some time back in Leipzig with her parents, she soon landed in England and began her second stay at a University outside her home country.

At Cambridge, Winter found the work quite intriguing, but ultimately arduous, painstakingly slow, and potentially fruitless. Beginning to question the virility of her degree, Winter continued her research, but began enrolling in various language and engineering courses to supplement her increasing boredom and decreasing conviction. She would never complete these courses, however. After hearing news of a series of deadly terrorist attacks in Prague and along the Czech-German border, she dropped out and returned to her parents in Germany. She remained at home for another year, toying with the ideas of various career pursuits before eventually enlisting in the Bundeswehr at age 24, most likely with the encouragement of her father, but the chagrin of her mother.

Initially enlisting as a Pionier (Engineer) before being transferred to the Panzerjäger branch, where her knowledge of chemistry served her best with demolitions work. After completing basic training, she was promoted to Obergefreiter, continuing drills and excecises with the rest of her company out of Truppenübungsplatz Heuberg in southern Germany. After several years of continued excellence both in the field and in demolitions drills, she was promoted to Oberstabsgefreiter and applied for NCO training and passed the entry requirements before being transferred to the Bundeswehr Command and Staff College in Hamburg to begin officer training. Years later, and soon after achieving the rank of Feldwebel, she was recommended for transfer to the Fallschirmjäger, and eventually the Kommando Spezialkräfte. After a joint undercover anti-terror operation in the Balkans, Team Leader Dominic Brunsmeier noted Winter's cunning ability to analyze and manipulate explosives as a useful skillset. She was then offered a position in Team Rainbow at age 33, which she accepted.
