Connie is the Bartender of the U.S.S. Odysseus, performing her duties via her 2 Androids Betty and Charlie. She was originally rescued from her mortally damaged shuttle by the crew of the Bosphorus, Lt Commander Nolani Fen'ick in command. (Prometheus Arms Shuttle Rescue)

## Appearance

Connie is a small, frail woman. Her hair is long and wild and unkempt. She’s pale, and she has trouble managing movement on her own. All the kinds of things you’d expect from someone that spends most of their time in an isolation pod. She wears a simple robe with no seams, to avoid sensory issues.

Betty, the infiltration unit, looks very much like a normal person. Simple, forgettable hair, flattering but unremarkable makeup, an outfit that is nice without being flashy. This body is designed to blend into a crowd or fade from memory. She is, in almost every way, average.

Charlie is the combat unit, and very much has the build for it. She is tall and broad, with short hair and sturdy, functional clothes. Her eyes are pale and metal colour, not built to pretend to be a normal human. She carries a slug throwing weapon on her belt and a knife in her boot.

## Personality

Despite having three different bodies, this is a singular person, a singular consciousness. Because of this, she is, by necessity, very good at multitasking. She can run two different bodies in two different rooms with little trouble. The problem comes from her physical, biological body. It is incredibly sensitive to stimuli, and if out of her isolation pod she has trouble focusing on her other bodies.
As a result of having a ‘true’ body, she’s incredibly protective of it. Her two machine bodies can be damaged, repaired, even destroyed. But her main body, the “Controller” is very much a normal human body and very susceptible to damage. She is almost paranoid regarding her body, and to a lesser extent in general.
Connie is slow to trust, and prone to keeping things to herself. She has yet to experience true safety, and only just found freedom for herself. She will, in time, warm up to people. But that will require time, patience, and safety before she opens up.
Underneath her paranoia and anxiety, Connie is a deeply curious person. She is experiencing the world in full for the first time, and wants to see it all. She is excitable and fascinated with every new thing she encounters.

## Trivia

* Connie has a great love of music, and secretly wishes she could play an instrument without the aid of her machine bodies.
* Charlie has a built-in targeting computer.
* Betty has a built-in chemical analyser, used to scan for poisons and such during infiltration missions.
* Connie’s favourite colour is red.

## History

### Creation

“Connie” as she calls herself, was genetically created by the Prometheus Arms Corporation, a weapon manufacturer known for skirting the legality of the Federation and operating outside their space. The “Controller Project” was designed to create an army controlled by a single mind. Connie is a step up from the prototype, being able to control a small number of bodies by herself rather than just a single unit. An important breakthrough in the Controller Project.
Connie’s life as long as she can remember has been tests, medical procedures, and waiting for the next round of both. Weapons tests, infiltration lessons, demonstrations. Day after day, week after week. She only existed for combat, for war. For learning the ways to kill, deceive, destroy. It was hard not to see herself as the weapon she was made to be. The weapons she wielded. Were it not for small acts of kindness she was shown by everyday people, she might’ve fallen into that trap. Scientists asking if she’s comfortable, guards striking up conversations during weapons tests. Little things that reminded Connie that she was, in fact, still human.

### Escape

A freak accident gave her an opportunity to escape. An opportunity she only dreamed of. A chance for freedom. A weapon test gone wrong sent the Prometheus Arms facility into chaos. Using two of her mechanical bodies, Connie was able to overpower her guards and the scientists studying her. Non lethally, of course. Everyone that crossed her path during her escape lived to see the next day, if not a little sore.
Carrying her isolation pod, her mechanical bodies were able to make their way through the facility to the hanger. Connie stole a shuttle and made her escape. But it wasn’t a clean escape. The base defences were able to damage her shuttle before she jumped to warp. She had escaped her captors, achieved freedom, but was at a loss for what to do next. Stranded, with no idea where to go or what to do, Connie took a chance. She activated the distress signal aboard her shuttle, and hoped that someone unrelated to Prometheus Arms would find her.

### Rescue

5 difficult hours later, Connie was rescued by the crew of the Bosphorus just her shuttle's core began to breach. (Prometheus Arms Shuttle Rescue) Afterwards, she returned with them and later joined the crew as a bartender.
