Trinity was a third-generation simulacrum, created out of one of Thorne Industries’ lesser-known projects. She and a number of others like her were seeded throughout the company’s ranks, from a cleaner and a security guard right the way up to one of the members of the board. Trinity herself was an engineer. Most of the time the simulacra simply did their jobs, but they were also eyes and ears for Silas at every level of the corporation. | Trinity was a third-generation simulacrum, created out of one of Thorne Industries’ lesser-known projects.

− | Unfortunately for Silas, while he was right to be paranoid, he | + | Unfortunately for Silas, while he was right to be paranoid, he was looking in the wrong direction. Thorne Industries had landed some high-end military contracts during the war, including black-ops experimental gear, the kind of tech that even the Alliance wouldn't admit to using. Once the war ended, Silas was a loose end that knew too much. |
− | + | If you believe what you hear on the waves, what happened at Thorne industries was some kind of accident with a weapons test. An explosion, a subsequent fire, a failure in the damaged safety systems. A number of tragic deaths of high-ranking staff, including Silas Thorne himself. | |
− | Trinity | + | Trinity was there, and it was no accident. It was a massacre and a cover-up at the hands of an Alliance clean-up crew. Trinity was only able to survive by powering down enough to pass for dead, and then slipping away in the chaos. But she knew that her absence would be noticed, as soon as someone went over personnel records or started setting Silas’ estate in order. |
− | + | At best, that would mean Thorne Industries putting their considerable resources to work tracking down their lost property. At worst, it would mean an Operative sent to tie up one last loose end. | |
+ | |||
+ | Trinity fled the Core; Silas had plans in place for if he ever needed to go underground or relocate in a hurry. Calling herself Charlie, she scraped a living out on the Rim as a ship mechanic. | ||
She’d been on the Raven’s Eye for a few months when the Reavers came and her world got torn apart a second time. Heavily damaged in the assault, Charlie managed to rig an escape pod to fire herself off into the Black, blind and cold and unguided, hidden among the debris of dead ships. | She’d been on the Raven’s Eye for a few months when the Reavers came and her world got torn apart a second time.
