    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 This vision is hopelessly out of date...every Board engineer carries a pocket grav-stressor for such matters these days, and Echo isn't one for chewing gum.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...
