Backstory #
Rebecca’s story starts tragically with a terminal diagnosis in her 2027 Grumblr post. She suffers from CERS, or Chronic Environmental Respiratory Syndrome. She remarks that she is 27 years old, still a virgin and mostly spends time at her own house around her cats. She speaks about her bond with her quirky coworker Iara and how her diagnosis affects her. We learn that Dallus is working on something that could save her, but she is already experiencing neurological symptoms and struggling to put on lipstick.
At the time of her illness, she works at ARC/HIVE as a lab assistant. In the 2028 Tekka interview we learn that things seem to have improved for Rebecca. She had become the first synth in a successful project that the company credited to Nex Gen, ARC/HIVE’s new name. Nex Gen is so confident in the resilience of their Synthetic Neurological Transference Human (synth), they have her smoke as a marketing ploy. Rebecca also made a promotion to head of R&D (Research & Development). Interviewer Jax Jackson asks her about working with Dallus, Strassman and Victor Carmine, but she shuts the interviewer down.
On November 5th 2036 we hear from Rebecca on Grumblr again. She writes about her day, working with Strassman and Dallus on the SYNTH project she was a part of years earlier. Unexpectedly, she learns that Skys is not only still alive, but Strassman and Dallus plan to transfer his consciousness into a synth. Skys, not so happy to awake as a synth, starts begging the three scientists for death. While Strassman and Dallus argue about the state of him, Rebecca states that she will “do it”. It is currently unknown what happens to Skys after.
From unlocking the credentials for the Spyder, we get access to several articles from the Daily Whisper. One of the articles details that sadly, Rebecca had fallen victim to a lupamine addiction, becoming violent and psychotic. It was thought that synths were immune to addiction, but the drugs effects were even amplified by her synthetic body. She became the most infamous case of Lupamine addiction. The addictive nature of Lupamine stems from the so-called loopholes, which cause erratic behaviour and a craving for the drug.
