A mercenary hireable from A.I.M., first appearing in Jagged Alliance 2.
Official description[]
"Don't mess with Meltdown. She may be smiling in her file photo, but that smile is certainly deceptive. This mercenary is legendary; an enemy once died at her feet from fear before Meltdown had even raised her weapon. As for her taste in weapons, the bigger, the better. In fact, Meltdown has a tendency for overkill in virtually every aspect of her life. Jessop is remarkably ambidextrous; she can easily fire two weapons simultaneously. " - A.I.M Dossier, Jagged Alliance 2
"As fierce as she is profane, Norma Jessop is a woman not to be taken lightly. Always ready and eager for a fight, Meltdown revels in killing her enemies in the bloodiest and most explosive way imaginable. Although ambidextrous and often seen with a piston in each hand, her preference is for heavy weapons. As she likes to say 'if there isn't at least a little collateral damage, you didn't do it right'. Property insurers refuse to pay out any claims in locations Norma recently visited." - A.I.M Dossier, Jagged Alliance 3
