Simon Staines (reporter)

Simon Staines was an embedded reporter attached to Major Shepherd's convoy in Kajaki Province, Afghanistan during Day 9.

After Derek Yates's drone attack on Shepherd's vehicle, Simon took news footage of the aftermath of the explosion and disseminated to the internet. Chell saw the footage on her computer, and alerted Pete, Stosh and Chloe O'Brian about it. They realized that the drone used the same system that Yates was hacking into, and that he may have been responsible.
