Lessons Learned

  • Anne learned that teamplay is the way to go, but that this team still has some teething problems
  • We have resources, we should use them.

Physical Description

A picture of Anne Croft wouldn't do her justice, mostly because a still picture would show her as a rather attractive and athletic young woman. Seeing her in person however rather detracts from this favourable impression, as her cold, dead eyes and expressionless face often causes an uncanny valley like effect from onlookers.

Anne is roughly 5'5", has brown hair and brown eyes, and an athletic build. Her computer jack is hidden beneath her slap near the upper part of her spine. Normally she wears jeans, sneakers, t-shirts, and a jacket or vest with multiple pockets, all of which are picked for comfort and practicality rather than appearance. However when a more formal dress code is called for she tends to wear a dark knee length skirt, white blouse, and a dark jacket.

Sanctuary

Deep within the bowels of the Charon Financial building lies a small security room. On the surface there's nothing all that peculiar about it, except for the futuristic looking recliner chair in among the flat screen monitors and large whirring severs. Closer inspection reveals a lot of strange cables extending from the recliner chair, and that these cables move from the chair and into the server banks.

Beyond that the place is immaculately clean and orderly. There is not a speck of dust to be found, no piles of forgotten documents, or half-assembled computers. There's a place for everything and everything in its place. In fact the only sign of personalization are two small brass plaque over the monitors, the first reads, 'Ordnung muss sein', the second '富国强兵'.

Ally

A Hit Mark V with the cover identity Markus Fau, a muscle bound Arnie impersonator who acts as Anne Croft's personal assistant and bodyguard.

Personality

The Iteration X stereotype is that of the mercilessly efficient, but humourless engineer. This actually fits Anne quite nicely. Recently however she has picked up on philosophy as a hobby of sorts.

History

Very little is really known about Anne Croft's former life. At least to her and her companions, presumably Control and the higher ups in the Syndicate know exactly who she was and what she was up to. Attempts by people on lower rungs of authority to track her past identity have failed completely.

Anne's earliest memories are of being an Iteration X computer worker in charge of security at a major Iteration X construct in North America. Her work performance was excellent, only marred slightly by a certain lack of imagination and curiosity. However her particular construct suffered from a great deal of financial trouble, due to certain high-energy tests going very awry.

Much like high level athletes enlightened scientists are sometimes traded between Conventions, which is more or less what happened with Anne. The transfer was mostly to her liking as she'd have access to superior resources and get far greater challenges. Indeed given how much the Virtual Adepts kept messing with the Syndicate it's safe to say that she had every chance to demonstrate her skill.

IT was the Avatar Storm that caused her transfer to SEC. There were many highly qualified computer experts around, but her lack of private or professional entanglements made her stand out from the rest. That she was also considered too unimaginative to be tempted was another advantage, since they were going to be investigating Pentex.
