Esme belongs to Neph, a friend who I play Eclipse phase with! I recently drew her a token for use in roll20 and, to spice things up, decided to write a little log from the perspective of Cassie, Jodie's MUSE and dead childhood friend. \:3/

[Cassie’s logs, partial excerpt]
When we first started working with Exodus, Jodie was contracted on as security for Esme. There were some... concerns, at first, for everyone. Jodie had for the past five or so years, been paid almost exclusively to kill people and there was some speculation as to whether or not she could serve in the opposite capacity; keeping people alive. Management conversed with me and it was decided that we were probably a better asset than we were a liability, and so we were assigned.

Initially, we worked directly under Esme. She sleeved in a savant synthetic body, which I suppose makes sense considering that she was to be our xenobiology expert in the field. Her fondness for AI and AGI unnerved me, and an apparent love for TITAN technology and morbid curiosity regarding the TITANs themselves petrified me and Jodie both. We weren’t part of the evacuation, but we’d both seen how things played out. For us, like most, TITANs were like vengeful gods, smiting humanity in an unstoppable force. We all thought, towards the end, that they wouldn’t stop until they killed us all. Why would anyone ever want to see one again?

But even if her interests are in the very least, scary, she’s a good girl with a good head on her shoulders. She probably has the most common sense of our little band, and that includes the once level headed Jodie (an addiction to Kick has not done wonders for her temperament). We are, both of us, glad to serve alongside Esme and if there’s anyone we’d want to be trapped in a TITAN infested quarantine zone with, it’s her.
