History

One Black Box remained in the hands of Amanda and Ari Tasarov though the latter ensured that they did not misuse the data contained within it. (Episode: The Life We've Chosen) Amanda took ten digital files from the Black Boxes linking Senator Madeline Pierce to the black ops covert group known as Division. These were sent covertly to a CIA analyst by the name of Naomi Ceaver with the intention of exposing the agency. (Episode: Black Badge) After the decryption, she re-encrypted it with two keys with one held by her and the other by Ari Tasarov. When he left her, she targeted his son Stefan Tasarov in order to force him to give her the remaining key. (Episode: Reunion) Following the failed bid to capture Ari's son, Amanda managed to take Division agent Alexandra Udinov a hostage. She informed Nikita that she would release her in exchange for Ari Tasarov as she intended to get his key to unlock the Black Box which she would use to expose the American government's darkest secrets in her plan to destroy the new Division. (Episode: The Life We've Chosen) This Black Box was later recovered and used to blackmail Presidential government advisor Commander Danforth in order to prevent him from destroying Division. (Episode: Inevitability) When Owen's true personality of Sam was uncovered, he turned against Nikita and intended to ransom her to Amanda. However, Amanda had only $50,000 available with Sam threatening to kill her but she offered to provide the contacts needed to purchase the Black Box in Division's care. This led to Sam masquerading as his Owen personality in order to infiltrate Division headquarters and acquire the Black Box. (Episode: Masks) He managed to acquire the Box only to be apprehended by the mutiny that had taken over the facility. Despite this being the case, Sam managed to escape with the Box once more where he returned to Amanda though Michael placed a tracker on it thus allowing him to follow Sam to the captive Nikita. Once there, Sam managed to escape with Amanda who he forced to accompany him in order to get the contacts needed to sell the Black Box. (Episode: Broken Home)

Overview

The boxes were designed as an insurance measure for Percy against the United States government in case they moved against Division by providing black mail material against the administration. (Episode: Brave New World) The sensitivity of the files meant that the data on the Boxes could not be sent on the internet but had to be dropped through the use of flash drives. (Episode: Black Badge)
