| - Founded by Adrian Cross in 2008, Open Cell's mission, as stated on the group's official website, was "to lay bare the secrets of the world’s governments and empower its citizens to take back control." The group maintained a proprietary encrypted network and messaging system, and encouraged those with sensitive information to contribute anonymously and join their cause. Due to its actions, many of the group's workers and their families were reportedly subject to threats and prosecution by countries around the world. As of Day 9, they operated in secret from an abandoned restaurant in London, England. (Open-Cell.org, "Day 9: 11:00am-12:00pm") Open Cell, and Cross in particular, were infamous for releasing classified data en masse via the Internet. One of their most public successes was the publication of over thirty thousand government documents, an act which endangered the lives of U.S. agents around the world. ("Day 9: 2:00pm-3:00pm") After serving jail time for helping Jack Bauer escape the law, Chloe O'Brian turned against the U.S. government and released over ten thousand classified Department of Defense documents. She joined Open Cell and later took part in stealing classified material from the United States Tenth Fleet and her former place of work, CTU New York. ("Day 9: 11:00am-12:00pm") In order to finance operations, Cross made a deal with Chinese exile Cheng Zhi for funding in exchange for designing a defense override module, a device capable of penetrating most U.S. national defense systems. One of the group's members, Derrick Yates, was secretly contracted by Margot Al-Harazi to reprogram and steal the module so she could carry out a terrorist plot using hijacked U.S. military drones. Two weeks before Day 9, Jack Bauer intercepted intelligence linking Yates to an assassination attempt against President James Heller sometime during his visit to London. Jack and his partner Belcheck began preparations to locate and stop Yates. ("Day 9: 12:00pm-1:00pm", "7:00pm-8:00pm") Three days before Day 9, Chloe was making a supply run on her own when she was captured by agents from the CIA's Special Activities division in London. For several days she was forcefully interrogated by Agent Dean for the whereabouts of her colleagues. ("Day 9: 11:00am-12:00pm")
