Somehow, one expects this Boardie to
chew gum and carry a huge torque wrench. This vision is hopelessly out
of date...every Board engineer carries a pocket grav-stressor for such
matters these days, and Echo isn't one for chewing gum. In fact, given
the certain chromosomal flexibility which caught the eye of the Board
in the first place, even her gender may change depending on the
situation...although she tends to default to female for ease of
reference/brainwarp.
Echo is one of the latest wave of
Boardies, recruited straight out of college and characterised by drive,
ambition, and a tendency to try to Crush Evil at the drop of a Mk28
Mertillizer. Sharing an age bracket with their charges, said generation
tend to sympathise strongly with their plight and eagerly reach for the
Heavy Duty Anti-Evil gear with a trigger-happy exuberance that makes
their more experienced colleagues cringe.
At the moment, however, Echo has yet
to so much as touch a Mk28, and while she hopes to soon, she is
currently hacking her way up through Engineering...often literally,
when someone forgets to clean the filters. Viewing the Funky Horror
as the mother of all audiovisual rigs (and it's got a really keen
operating system, too, if you can handle the artificial intelligences'
tendencies to rewrite themselves as you work on them), Echo lives for
the day the Board reveals itself to humanity and she can use the FTL
Communications Array to run the mother of all LAN parties.
In fact, she's in favour of casting
off the whole secrecy thing anyway, since it makes getting hold of
equipment a lot harder...and would also mean she could break out the
black leather outfit she keeps around in anticipation of her first
Insidious Mission, although she'd never admit to that part.
Or which gender it's tailored for...
