Prism
Esther is one of our newest recruits, and she shows great promise. She's certainly motivated to get back at the Corps, after the smear-job they did on her. I don't keep up with the Holovids, but even I had heard about her so-called “youthful indiscretions”. The Corps are never more ruthless than when they are trying to control their public image. I feel the same may be said for Esther.
—Central
Esther Martins, known as Prism, is an agent employed by Invisible. She can be selected at the start of the game in either her on-file or archive variation.
On-file
Esther Martins was a rising Holovid star when a rival leaked her teenage participation in anti-corporate riots. Fired by her studio and facing an unrelenting public smear campaign, she faked her death and went underground. With her dramatic training and a commandeered holorig, she spent a couple years running confidence jobs against corporate execs before joining Invisible.

Prism's career didn't take off overnight — she paid her dues like any other up-and-coming actress. She spent years playing extras like “Young woman with baguette” and “Confused partygoer” before finally finding her first speaking role: “Security guard #3”. After her exile, she would use that particular disguise more than once to sneak back into Holovid studio offices at night. It was her highest paying role ever.
