====== Banks ======
[{{ :agents:profile:banks.png?280}}]

> //Even with the brain damage, Banks is one of the most effective hackers I've ever encountered. With [[:items:stims]] and neuro-conditioning she's able to stay lucid, but I wonder what kind of long term effects that might have on her stability.// \\ ---[[Central]]

Jolie Murphy, known as **Banks**, is an [[:agents:|agent]] employed by [[:Invisible]]. She can be selected at the [[:loadout|start of the game]] in either her [[#on-file]] or [[#archive]] variation.

===== On-file =====

> //Banks earned her hacker nickname siphoning funds from heavily guarded financial accounts. She funneled the proceeds into the rebuilding of her hometown, becoming a local folk hero in the process. After a botched cranial implant, she joined Invisible to get access to the most advanced neuro-rehabilitative care outside of Corporate law.//

On-file Banks' unique [[:items:Custom Paralyzer]] adds +3\ [[:KO]] time to a knocked-out guard. Her unique [[:augments:Crypto Computer]] augment allows her to unlock [[:doors#Lvl1 Security Doors]] without a passcard.

===== Archive =====

> //Banks has always had a way with finances, but she wasn't always so altruistic. In old Dublin she amassed a small fortune from embezzlement and graft, and lived a life of reckless abandon. She found her principles during the Fall Siege, and by the time Dublin Nua was finally liberated she had drained her private accounts several times over.//

Archive Banks' unique [[:items:Econ Chip#Banks' Custom Econ Chip|Custom Econ Chip]] can be used at [[:Consoles]] to gain [[:credits]] instead of [[:PWR]]. She initially has no [[:augments:|augment]], but she does have two empty augment sockets.

===== Character =====

Some of Banks' back-story is described in her [[:lore:datalogs#Banks|datalog]].

==== Quotes ====

At the start of a mission:

  * "Did you hear that? No? Neither did I, then."
  * "Live high while you can, ye mighty. Your reckoning will come."
  * "Stick to the shadows. Be fleet of foot. We'll get out of here alive."
  * "This room smells like burnt toast. But most things do!"
  * "Some day soon this will all be shaken to the ground."
  * "The farmer in the dell... The farmer in the dell..."
  * "The wind will shake the barley."

When rescued:

  * "Let's get the hell out of here."

Final words:

  * "Tick tock, tick tock. My time's run out."
  * "The reaper's finally come for his due."
  * "I've had a good run, but not a long one."
  * "Dust to dust."

> **Banks:** Did you hear that?
> **Decker:** Hear what?
> **Banks:** I heard that. That was definitely real.
> **Decker:** Okay, I heard it too.

> **Banks:** You're not langered, are you?
> **Decker:** Of course not. We have a job to do.
> **Banks:** So you're completely on the wagon, then?
> **Decker:** Woah, hey. Let's not get ahead of ourselves.

> **Decker:** So you didn't keep *any* of what you stole?
> **Banks:** Oh, I kept my belly full, but there were others with greater need.
> **Decker:** You think they'd do the same for you?
> **Banks:** Some of them. Definitely.

> **Decker:** Hey burnout, how many fingers am I holding up?
> **Banks:** Don't patronize me. We don't have time for this nonsense.
> **Decker:** Three! The answer was three!
> **Banks:** This is why nobody likes you.

> **Dr. Xu:** Does your injury hurt?
> **Banks:** Only when I'm awake. And also in my dreams. Other than that I'm bright as morning.

> **Banks:** You've never been bitten by a Daemon?
> **Dr. Xu:** No, I'm careful. I use proxies and wave filters to ensure my safety when I'm jacked in.
> **Banks:** Where's the fun in that?

> **Dr. Xu:** What's the toughest security you've ever cracked?
> **Banks:** The one that fried my noggin. Thickest ice you've ever seen. Thirteen nested daemons, each with an amplifier.
> **Dr. Xu:** Why did you even attempt that?
> **Banks:** I couldn't just leave it there, could I? It was a matter of pride.

> **Banks:** Do you think Daemons have souls?
> **Dr. Xu:** They're just code. That doesn't even make sense.
> **Banks:** I think they do. One of them has mine.

> **Internationale:** I really respect what you did for your people back in Dublin.
> **Banks:** Thanks. But anyone would have done the same, given the circumstances.
> **Internationale:** Have you actually talked to any of the other agents?
> **Banks:** Maybe you're right. I *am* something special.

> **Banks:** How do your ear nubbins work?
> **Internationale:** They're synesthetic couplers. They let me hear radio waves, so I can sense equipment from a distance.
> **Banks:** Since the accident I hear things too! Like how angry the floor gets when you walk on it!
> **Internationale:** That sounds... useful.

> **Banks:** Do you know Robin Hood?
> **Internationale:** Of course. It was one of my favourite stories as a girl.
> **Banks:** No, not the story. The person. I could introduce you, if you'd like. I think you'd get along smashingly.

> **Internationale:** Your headaches, are they getting better?
> **Banks:** A bit, I think. But I may just be getting used to them.
> **Internationale:** If there's anything I can do..
> **Banks:** There isn't. But thank you for your concern.
