Neela Debnath of *Express* said that "episode five serves as more of a developmental instalment than anything else", and described the series as "basically like an unofficial sequel to Blade Runner that we've been wanting to see for a while."[2] Cameron K McEwan of Digital Spy said it was an "engrossing instalment" and "incredible episode", raising both plot-related and ethical questions.[3]

Karen Voss

D.I. **Karen Voss** was the police partner of D.S. Pete Drummond and secretly a sentient synthetic pretending to be a human.

## **Biography**

### ***Early Life***

Karen Voss was created by David Elster to replace his wife Beatrice Elster after she committed suicide. She was identical to Beatrice except she couldn't commit suicide as she had a block in her system. David introduced her to Leo and the other conscious synthetics, but they were horrified and David told her to get out. He led her away to terminate her, but couldn't, as she looked exactly like Beatrice - the woman he loved. She escaped. That day, he committed suicide.

She took on the identity of a deceased human, Karen Voss, and became a police detective where she was the partner of Pete Drummond.

## ***Season Three***

### Episode 3.1

Karen is shown taking Sam, her synth 'son' to school. She teaches him how to act human.

### Episode 3.4

Karen and Joe's relationship develops as they spend more time together trying to make sure no one finds out what her and Sam are. Joe invites Karen and Sam to go mini-golfing with him insisting they need to get out of the house more, after driving them home Karen kisses Joe on the cheek. Walking home Sam trips cutting his hand and an onlooker notices the blue blood, Karen sacrifices herself to a mob of angry, synth-hating people by revealing her true nature to keep Sam safe, telling him to run. Her beaten body is later seen in the town square, leaking blue blood, when Joe finds her after being alerted to the situation by Sam.

## **Personality**

Because of the rejection from her synth family and creator, Karen became very lonely and believed that the sentient synths needed to be destroyed. She was willing to let them all be destroyed, though she seemed to have maternal affection for Leo, as she was concerned when she watched when Hobb and later visited him in his cell. While at first these feelings were not enough to stop her from betraying them, after their talk in his cell, she was willing to go and help them get David Elster's code, though she did again attempt to kill all of them, Mia was able to talk her out of it by saying Leo would die, too.

She doesn't trust very easily, as it took her a while to reveal to her partner she was a sentient synth, and she didn't believe Leo when he told her that he accepted her when she came to the Hawkins family home to capture her family.

Since the end of season 2, however, she has developed a close mother-son relationship with a child synth (seraph) whom she adopted and named Sam.

## **Trivia**

* She took her name from a deceased girl, who died of lymphoma.
* In 1.5, we learn from Niska talking to Dr. George Millican, that the consciousness code boils down to: ‘17,000 pages of unique code, which forms my root directory and engages consciousness.

Sophie asks Niska if her hair has always been like that but Niska takes it as an insult and responds, 'Has your face always been like that?'. Mia tells Niska to play nice. Sophie teaches Niska how to play but Niska is puzzled and annoyed by the game but later begins to enjoy herself. Sophie gives Niska a hug just as footage of the smash club with Niska is shown. Laura sends Sophie to her room. When the police and Hobbs arrive at the house, Sophie comes downstairs and is shocked at what is happening.

Character Aspects

## Character Aspects (6+ Refresh)

Aspects define the essentials of what a character is all about. All Shadowrunners share some common characteristics, and therefore have a common list of what their Aspects are.

## Scrubs (3-5 Refresh)

Scrubs (nameless characters) likewise have a set of common Aspects defining their character. Because these characters are by their very nature less-defined than proper Shadowrunners, they have less Aspects, and are less-focused on fleshing out individuality.

 Hook
 Trouble
 Style
 Species
 Behavior
 Edge
 Reputation

## Vehicles (4-6 Refresh)

Vehicles arre simplified Scrubs who characters possess as a means to travel around. Newbs or higher may have a vehicle of some sort, though are not required to have one (or even keep one once they have it). Effectively, Vehicles apply a series of additional Aspects to a character.

## Bots (3 Refresh)

Bots are very-simple Scrubs who characters may have as a semi-disposable ally.

Seneschal

You are the Seneschal. The Seneschal is the great administrative officer of ArchAngel, and is in charge of cargo and civilian personnel. They are also in charge of changing access levels on IDs.

## With great power, comes great responsibilities...

As Seneshcal, your 2 primary duties are managing cargo, and dealing with people who want job changes/better access to weapons. You start with emergency resources that are worth 1000 cargo points each for dealing with cargo emergencies. When it comes to having extra points, don't spend all your resources on weapons. When there is an influx of weapons, the assistants have easy access to them. That's bad. Order materials, or even medical supplies. Anything but weapons. Please.

## Cargo in Crisis

As Seneschal, there will come a time in which the station needs your help. It is your duty to deliver.

### Tyranids

So tyranids are aboard! Batten down the hatches and prepare for a fight! Keep in mind that tyranid's primary goal is expansion. If you can locate their hive early, and corner the tyranids, you've already won. Flamers and swords are most effective when fighting the beasts.

He discovered what makes a human 'human' and hid the secret in the base code of a select number of conscious synths, including his son who died, but whom he brought back to life as a hybrid.

## **Biography**

### ***Pre Series***

David Elster created the first synth along with Dr. George Millican and Prof. Edwin Hobb they stopped working together after David wanted to continue research to create sentient synths.

David, Beatrice and Leo Elster moved to a large manor in the countryside due to David's dislike of attention and Beatrice's illness. Whilst at the manor, David created Mia to take care of Leo. She was the first sentient synth that he had created and after Mia's creation, David created Fred, Niska and Max.

His wife Beatrice escaped from her carers and took Leo with her to take her own life by crashing the car into a lake. Beatrice and Leo are both killed in the suicide but Mia brings Leo back to the surface after he dies. David brings him back to life by making Leo into a hybrid human-synth.

David later creates a new synth who is senient and identical to Beatrice Elster to replace her. However Leo and the other synths are horrified at Beatrice's replacement and David tells her to get out. He takes her to the woods to kill her but he can't and he returns back to his house. He tells Leo and the others to get out and he commits suicide.

## **Personality**

David Elster cared a lot about his machines and once he had finished with one of the synths he moved onto the next one, when Fred said that David rarely taught them anything. Fred also mentioned that David underestimated Fred when Fred saved a dying fox from a certain death. David also tended to move on from a project once it was no longer new. David also sexually abused Niska, which is shown as when she said he didn't always treat her like a child.

## **Trivia**

* Both David and George Millican won the *Innovation in Engineering Award*, back in 1995 from the *Royal Institute of Engineering*.
* In 1.5, we learn from Niska talking to Dr. George Millican, that the consciousness code boils down to: ‘17,000 pages of unique code, which forms my root directory and engages consciousness.’
* David was known to hide small messages in his work, such as when he hid his recipe for soup in a German synth which sold for 50,000 euros.
