Eclipse Phase - Firewall's Finest/Dr. Moira Soren

Click Here to Return to Main Page

Moira recruited you some months ago, she sold you on the necessity of being a Firewall agent and how important it is for each of us to take on the job of protecting transhumanity. There's just too many threats out there, sure the TITAN's are gone but they doesn't mean they won't return. And there's reports from numerous gatecrashing expeditions which strongly suggests we aren't alone. If the TITAN's taught us anything, it's that we are weak and not ready for what the universe has to offer us.

She isn't expecting you to save transhumanity, or do something so heroic that people will talk about it for generations. Humanity is scattered across the cosomos, the government fell, the laws are different in every hab you visit. Heck, just being able to visit a friend on another hab is an effort in politics, negotiating, and favors just to get onto the other hab.

So no, you aren't expected to save us all. But you can make a difference.

Moira has been monitoring you for some time. And when she approached you initially you were probably skeptical, but over time she was able to convince you that Firewall could use somebody like you.

Fast forward a few months.

She's been checking in on you, making sure you're still reachable. You'd have thought that by joining a secret society that you'd have been asked to do something by now. Instead it's just been months of, "Hey just checking in on you!" with that beautiful smile of hers.

But that changed suddenly. It all began with, "We need to talk," being the first words out of her mouth instead of the usual friendly greeting. You know then that something was wrong.

What you know is that Moira is some kind of administrator for the Martian colonies. She has an office based out of Elysium and some fancy title that you can't pronounce. She essentially manages resources of the various colonies - ensuring there's enough power, food, and all that stuff. You know, the basics but very important stuff. Her insight into this gives her a very big perspective on many things, one of these things is what has triggered her activating you.

Personality-wise, she is very friendly and genuinely seems to care. You don't pickup any bad vibes or detect any deceit whenever she talks to you. But your visits have always been rather short, many of them simply via the mesh as her job keeps her glued to her desk.

She has made arrangements for you to meet at her office, and promised that a backup will be taken in case anything bad happens on your first mission.
