-Emily Baker talking over radio to The Hunter about the cost of their duties.

Emily Baker, also known as Commander Emily Baker or simply Commander Baker, is a secondary protagonist of the manga One Neo Eon by Alpha Yu of Shonen Bag Studio. Eventually, she becomes a secondary antagonist. Emily is a gamer girl who tries to keep the group together with her motherly attitude, but she is actually a spy working for Yamoto's Faction. A highly advanced AI disguised as a real girl, she typically behaves in the role of a leader, but can sometimes fall to erratic behaviours such as pouncing on Eon or consuming unhealthy amounts of Yaoi. At the end of the story, her identity is revealed and she and her former friend, Susan Edwards, have a fight to the death within a Skytrain Station. It is unclear who survived.

## History

Created by the wicked scientist Yamoto Daisuke and hidden presumably in the Buntzen Powerhouse, Emily Baker was nearly the perfect AI by Ningen 108's standards. However, when given the opportunity to become the god of the world, she passed as she didn't believe enough in herself. She then dedicated herself to the goals of Yamoto's Faction, becoming a spy.

Soon after, Yamoto located an ideal candidate for the god of the world, the AI Eon. A plan was hatched in which Eon would be abandoned in Canada and left to find Multis Kwahn. Yamoto's Faction arranged for Kawashima Yumiko to be transfered into Smith Tri-Campus, Multis' school. Emily was to go there too in order to manipulate her and Susan Edwards into following Yamoto's plan. As Eon joined the Robotics Club, this appeared to be working. Emily initially could not control her strange robotic impulses around Eon and began pouncing on him, but Eon dismissed this as the erratic behaviour of an adolescent girl.

Soon afterwards, Yumiko went missing after the Hunter incident and Emily was free to manipulate Susan in to wishing to see Syndicate War, the trailer of which Yumiko had showed her earlier.

Eventually, Emily grew a close bond with her Clubmates, which distressed her greatly. When Eon began malfunctioning, she decided to sneak a tracing program into his system when repairing him. This allowed The Hunter to track them to Marine Gateway, where it confronted Yumiko, leading to its destruction and her death.

Emily pretended to comfort the group while in reality edging Eon in subtle ways to wish to eliminate Unintentional Creation. Eventually, after she revealed her identity during the End of Vancouver, Susan stayed behind to fight her while demanding Eon and Multis to flee. Emily, determined to destroy Unintentional Creation, reluctantly traumatized Susan as much as she could, which was broadcast to Virgil, distressing him greatly. Eventually, Emily fired her hairpin like Yumiko did as a weapon, not wishing to wear a symbol of Unintentional Creation and disfiguring Susan's face. She pleaded with Susan not to get up so she wouldn't be hurt any further but the fight continued. It is unknown who won.

Despite her status as a villain, the god of the world still used a vision of Emily to help Eon come to a final conclusion within the final chapter of the story.

## Relationships

Being a spy for Yamoto's Faction, Emily was intensely loyal to Yamoto Daisuke.

The Hunters referred to her as Commander Baker, suggesting that she ranked above them, but it is also shown that she takes the time to have genuine conversations with them.

As a spy, Emily pretended to be friendly with the rest of the Robotics Club, but by the end of the story, she had grow genuinely attached to them. Susan Edwards was especially targeted by Emily. She seemed to take special delight in slipping her a laxative. However, by the time they fight, Emily appears to have grown very regretful of her actions.

Emily had a special attraction to Eon and frequently approached him in socially inappropriate ways. This was explained by her robotic side glitching out, resulting in erratic behaviour.

## Physical Appearance

Emily wears perhaps the most outfits out of anybody in the series. However, she is always wearing her hairpin and has light blue hair, although the creator, Alpha Yu, has stated that the light blue hair is actually an abstractification and that if you were to meet Emily in real life, she would be blonde. This lends credence to the idea of One Neo Eon as subjective fiction.

She is first shown in a dark grey hoodie with neon blue lining with text reading "GAME ON", faded sand blue jeans, and a headset covering her left ear. (GAME ON can also be read as "gamE ON" when certain letters are covered.)

Next, the headset and jeans are kept but she switches into a loose light grey tube top with exposed shoulders and small sleeves with the same text, "GAME ON", in a small box. Around her waist she has tied a red Canadian pattern jacket.

Next, she looses the bottom of her face to reveal her mechanical components, buglike mandibles.

Emily's robot form is also show, under her clothes she is extremely similar in anatomy to Eon.

Finally, in flashbacks inside her house, Emily now wears a completely sleeveless white tube top with no text and black shorts.
