Cecile Redacted

### Pre-Goddard

Cecilé grew up in Florida, not too far from Goddard itself and living a quiet and happy life with their family. Only child, lower middle class two parents, nothing remarkable whatsoever. They grew up, went to college, dropped out at 19 due to the college they went to being heavily based on the social scene and that was not their thing at all, all it did was lead to too much stress and the degree was not worth it. Cecilé was reserved, polite, they had their work and they just wanted to keep their head down and do it. It was relaxing to them.

### Goddard, Pre-Twitter

Upon arriving at Goddard, Cecilé started an internship at Communications, working under Cutter as a “special interest” to him, although they didn’t really notice the difference between themselves and the rest of the interns until it was too late. He was watching out for participants in project Janus and a few months into their internship, they were moved into it.

Project Janus focused on looking into genetic modification. Starting under R&D and being moved to Special Projects after about three months, when it started becoming more effective and less ethical. Cecilé was put into a group of six and labelled as Janus C. And that became their identity for a year and a half. As one of the only two project survivors, Mr Cutter put a little extra effort in playing around with them, doing everything he could to ruin their sense of identity. Their appearance was adapted, going from professional and sharp to childish and pastel, and their personality was forced to change to survive. Under Janus, they were given missions and experiments. Some days being sent out to eliminate a problem or collect a runaway project, and some days being bed bound from pain and failed studies. But never a day of peace.

And then they got out. It took almost two years, but they managed it, in a way. Cutter had had his fun and they had done their job as a project just well enough to stay alive. They were getting boring. So, they were moved out, into communications. Working with Black Ops primarily on team building projects, a little extra test from Cutter to keep them on their toes, and doing all the other jobs that their position holds. Running assigned announcements, organising requests and calming disagreements that so often happened. And they stayed alive.

### Twitter Events

The account started as an anonymous account of the prank war that had begun across the Goddard office. First contact was a report of Samual Lore from Accounting leading to a quick increase in the death toll after he got Black Ops involved. They acted fairly casually around Rachel, enjoying the fact that she shouldn’t be able to know who they are. They also had a fairly happy conversation with Nova in response to this same tweet, complaining about employees on a floor that Nova had gone on a small killing spree on and encouraging them. It was at this point that it was fairly obvious that Cecilé generally doesn’t like the coworkers and also has a very calm and almost entertained attitude towards murder.

After some time, they started having fun, kin assigning Cutter as Elias Bouchard, Pryce as Dr Carmilla, and Rachel as Gertrude Robinson, to name a few. Going on to have a small crisis over the sudden appearance of cats in the department. And then quickly calming and kin assigning whole departments.

At the beginning, they joked that they were clearly not affiliated with Goddard and everything they tweet is a joke and nothing to worry about. For legal reasons. They also quickly became known for taking breaks when things became especially weird. Like a roomba, that is also a bomb.

And so it continued for a while, joking about their job, reporting pranks, being gay on main for both Seraphine and Carlotta, and complaining about R&D. Until that last part hit them back. They were called back to the office by someone who they believed to be the R&D director at 2am and being trapped in a lab and subsequently attacked. After that, the people conducting the attack refused to open the door until they released an apology, which they very sarcastically ended up posting after it was revealed that it was not in fact the director that had called them. Then they went back up to communications to see the cats to calm down, ignoring the fact their eye was injured, and complaining on Twitter. This complaining lead to Seraphine offering a Doctor after they mentioned being possibly blinded, which they accepted, despite being untrusting of her claim of it being for simply “a gift from a friend”. On their way to meet the doctor, Cecilé passed by Nova, and had a cute little meeting while petting peanut before continuing on their way. The meeting with the doctor ended up being a meeting with Seraphine, although they didn’t know until later, and their eye injury was confirmed to only be minor, and it was dealt with easily, likely to heal over within the week.

And that week wasn’t about to be work focussed, with Rachel telling Cecilé that they were having the week off, upon request of Seraphine. They quickly got bored and asked Seraphine for a job, to which she agreed and offered a heist, Cecilé happily agreed, and so it begun.

It was a fake heist, organised by Seraphine to keep Cecilé busy in a low risk environment, but they didn’t know that and still don’t. And they had fun, falling asleep in the helicopter on the way out, and being taken to a hotel in Vermont. Technically, this is probably kidnapping but hey, it happens.

The trip to Vermont was... eventful. Cecilé got a cat, named Andromeda, for unspecified but important reasons, was told that another ex-project, one they consider a friend, called Alcestis was coming to act as their “bodygaurd”, set fire to a police station with said friend and Seraphine, starting an argument with Victor Riemann and the fight that followed it, and learning that their fight with Riemann had actually led to their eyes recovery halting, and leaving it blind for another week at least.

Near the end of the week, Ghostie was known to have done something that had annoyed Riemann, and he had clearly done something that had hurt her. And so, Cecilé and Seraphine made their way to Goddard to get revenge. Seraphine going directly to him to fight as a distraction while Cecilé set fire to his desk. This ended with Cecilé accidentally shooting Seraphine and being incredibly confused by her forgiveness, but it still ending with them happy enough in the car home.

And then it went bad. Ghostie was reported dead. She wasn’t actually dead, as Cecilé later learnt, Alcestis had faked it. But they thought she was and they felt angry and guilty and decided it was time to go home and go back to work, despite technically having a few days off left. And so they got on a plane, as organised by Seraphine, and got out. Opening a gift from Ghostie on their way and crying.

On their return to work, it went fairly well, at first. They even gave Riemann a gift as a peace offering. And then Cutter called them to his office. The meeting was to tell them they would be returning to Project Janus, and when they tried to get away from it, Alcestis, or Angel, as she was called as a project, was told to get them to the lab. They tried to fight back but they couldn’t, partially out of fear and partially because it was still her. And so she was taken to Special Projects, crying and terrified, but they got there.

When Cecilé came back, they were Janus. The outcome of the Janus project, a more childish, playful and deadly version of themselves. Known to use white heart emojis instead of the usual purple ones. Their first mission was to eliminate Seraphine, and they tried their best, but seeing her hurt, hearing her hurt, and when she got top close, they almost collapsed. Mission failure.

After the mission, and after Seraphine had left, Janus was put unconscious to be collected by handlers. They woke up and begun asking for their cat, finally managing to convince a newer handler to get him for them. When they did get him, he was painful to hold, and they couldn’t remember his name or how they got him. As part of the Janus Project, their chip had been replaced and activated, hiding memories of Seraphine and the Andromeda mission, and that included anything about Andromeda except that he was their cat.

That same day, they were called back to Cutter. In the meeting, he played with their pain that they received in a shock method via the chip whenever they did something “wrong”, turning it up when they didn’t give the answer he wanted to the point that they ended up handing over Amdromeda to him willingly, claiming to trust him and that he hurt too much to hold. At this point it was also revealed that they have a new eye. The old one was taking too long to heal for Goddard’s standard and so they simply replaced it. This one both acted as a functional eye and a direct connection to their brain, keeping them under control. It was a dark and galaxy patterned eye that put an almost filter over what they saw through it, covering everything they see with galaxies and constellations.

The heist didn’t come much later. Eli and Seraphine, coming to get Janus out of there. They split up at the start, Eli going to pick up Janus while Seraphine went another way, ending up fighting Rachel. When their paths crossed as Eli tried to get Janus out, Janus sided with Rachel, trying to stay with her instead of leaving, and ended up being carried out, screaming in pain and, just like their first heist with Seraphine, passing out in the helicopter out.

Seraphine took Janus back to Homebase, having the chips removed and the eyes connections other than visual disconnected. Cecilé was back. And when Seraphine visited them, they had their first kiss. All very adorable. And then the day went well, Cecilé is having an identity crisis now that they’re away from Goddard, but they are happy. Despite the panic over their realisation that they kissed Rachel during the heist and the chaos of the house. They’re happy.

### Relationships

#### **Seraphine**

Partner in crime, boss, girlfriend? Cecilé is a little confused but they know that this woman is the one that saved them and that they love her a lot, and she feels safe. Almost like home.

Cecilé met Seraphine after R&D cause their eye to get injured, and may have gotten attached. The phrase “a gift from a friend” started this whole relationship and Cecilé considers it the only good thing to come out of R&D.

#### **Rachel Young**

Dumb gay mess kissed their boss while brainwashed. Cecilé sees Rachel as a slightly scary and very pretty woman to be careful around but she does respect her and enjoy how she can talk to Cutter. The also think that, from their last few interactions, she is a genuinely somewhat nice person that they would trust in a dangerous situation, even if they probably shouldn't.

#### **Intern**

Cecilé actually really likes Intern. They think they're fun and interesting and hey, they have a snake, how cool is that? Definitely the only valid R&D employee.

Cecilé also actually cares about Intern and secretly wants to just break them out of Goddard because they’re scared that cutter will hurt them if he knows that they’re what Cecilé considers friends but... that’s a problem for another day.

#### **Mr Cutter**

Die.

Cutter was the person that put Cecilé into the Janus project and they never forgave him. They think he’s a shitty person and want him dead, even if it kills them in the process.

Although, in Janus state, Janus sees Cutter as perfect and wonderful and won’t hesitate to say they love him, although in what sense is entirely unknown, even to them.

#### **Eli**

A good friend and one they would both die and kill for. Eli feels like safety and warmth and they couldn't appreciate their friendship more.

They melt whenever Eli calls them Bunny and think that they’re just too pure for this world while very stubbornly ignoring any crimes they have committed.

#### **Alcestis**

Cecilé would trust Al with their life. Not Angel, but definitely Al. They've been through enough and even if she threatens them constantly, they do love her and they're honestly starting to think she's one of the good things Goddard has done, if her claims about being brought back form the dead are true.

#### **Spoon**

The coolest bitch at Goddard. Ate bees. Had a whole conversation in cat. Wonderful.

Cecilé doesn’t really know much about Spoof but they do know that they think they’re fun and interesting and that’s what counts.
