I personally don't want Rachel or another VF character, though it wouldn't annoy me if it ended up being Rachel (unless Tengu got the boot for her). I'd rather it be a brand new character, or at least Irene fighting with some military/CIA/special forces style. Maybe even Krav Maga.
If it has to be either Rachel or a VF character though, than I'm rooting for Rachel.
