+> //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.// \\ ---[[:agents:Central]]

+===== 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.//

+> **Decker:** I saw one of your movies once.
+> **Prism:** They haven't been called ‘movies' since the 30s, grandpa.
+> **Decker:** They haven't made any good ones since then, either.
-Skills: Anarchy 2
+> **Prism:** What's your deal, anyway?
+> **Decker:** My ‘deal'?
+> **Prism:** The coat, the hat. The silly gun. What are you supposed to be?
+> **Decker:** It's... before your time.
-Age: 22
+> **Decker:** Why didn't you bring your holorig? Seems like it would be handy.
+> **Prism:** It works against gullible civilians, not highly-trained security personnel.
+> **Decker:** I think you're overestimating their training.

+> **Prism:** Are you OK?
+> **Decker:** I'm fine. It's just my knees. They're not what they used to be.
+> **Prism:** Try to keep up, yeah?
+> **Decker:** Get off my lawn.
-===== Central's Assessment =====
+> **Dr. Xu:** In the final scene of ‘Captain of Tomorrow', your ship fires a tachyon pulse into the Kradeshii warfleet...
+> **Prism:** Um... sure. It was a long time ago.
+> **Dr. Xu:** It does. But that shouldn't be possible, given their proximity to the Zeta quadrant! It's doesn't make any sense!
+> **Prism:** I blame the writer. That guy was a hack.

+> **Prism:** So if we run into guards, you're going to out-nerd them?
+> **Dr. Xu:** If by nerd you mean ‘apply current to their nervous system until they lose consciousness', then yes.
-===== Personality =====
+> **Dr. Xu:** I've done some acting, you know.
+> **Prism:** Really? What were you in?
+> **Dr. Xu:** Have you ever heard of Gilbert and Sullivan?
+> **Prism:** No, can't say I have.
-=== Mission start quotes ===
+> **Prism:** Why aren't you a professor somewhere? You'd seem better suited for that kind of life.
-  * "Now you see me..."
+> **Dr. Xu:** I had... philosophical differences with established academia. I was forced out.
-  * "I was right about these bastards all along."
+> **Prism:** You mean they caught you cheating.
-  * "My head is spinning!"
+> **Dr. Xu:** It's a matter of semantics.
-  * "These fat cats make me sick."
-  * "Let's rob from the rich and give to ourselves."
-  * "Perception is everything."
-=== Final words ===
+> **Internationale:** You were involved in the anti-corporate movement when you were younger?
-  * "How about a re-take?"
+> **Prism:** Sigh. I don't want to talk about it.
-  * "Is this the final curtain?"
+> **Internationale:** But we should talk about it! You could have used your fame as a platform for changing public consciousness!
-  * "Do you want my autograph, first?"
+> **Prism:** Wow --- where were you when I was looking for a new agent? My guy just wanted me to take big roles in popular 'vids. Clearly I was misled.
-  * "I'm so tired of running from you people."
-=== Rescued ===
+> **Prism:** So what do you do for fun?
-  * "You won't regret this."
+> **Internationale:** I enjoy reading. I particularly enjoy early 20th century proletarian novels. Have you read Upton Sinclair?
+> **Prism:** Oh, I'm sorry,  you must have misheard. I was asking about 'fun', not.. whatever you were talking about.
+> **Prism:** I found this pamphlet slipped under my door. Is it yours?
+> **Internationale:** "Corporate Hegemony and the Praxis of Action". A classic! I must have dropped it. You can borrow it if you'd like.
+> **Prism:** That's OK. You can have it back.
+> **Internationale:** Are you sure? It's really eye-opening!
+> **Prism:** I've never been more sure of anything in my life.
