EV3R is a friend and affiliate of the Red Raven crew. She is a Neptunian android built by Quasar Galactic Systems Specialists, initially designed for safety inspection and worksite supervision. She is equipped with large sensitive audio receptors and a powerful risk assessment internal simulation computer, allowing her to collect data and quickly run models of a situation in order to determine the risk of the most probably outcomes. Upon being activated, however, she ran model simulations of her initial work proposal and determined it to be very boring. She opted instead to take a one-time payout from Quasar, as is every android's prerogative, and make her own way in the Sol system. EV3R is lackadaisical by android standards, her risk assessment model's calibration preventing her from committing to any task that doesn't have high potential to yield interesting data returns; or, in meatball terms, her computers can predict if something sucks and pre-emptively hit the bricks.
Being a risk assessment droid has its perks. EV3R's sensor array can be tuned to broad-range data collection or focused on minute audio or visual details, initially designed for safety inspection and analysis but ultimately very useful for overhearing gossip and pinpointing rumors in the din of a starport tavern. Since she likes to travel from port to port throughout the Sol system EV3R is an excellent source of leads on discrete shipments of valuables or rumors of lost shipwrecks in a dark sector of space behind a planet's orbit. The Red Raven crew are always glad to have a visit from EV3R, as it usually means she's got a lead on something interesting or lucrative to do; EV3R is glad to visit the Red Raven crew as well, as they will often let her accompany them on a job and use her sensor array to collect lots of very interesting data, as well as a fair cut of the score. A large payout factors highly into her risk assessment models of having to go back to Neptune for work and keeps her independent and mobile, so it is a win-win for both parties.
The crew came to meet EV3R shortly after her departure from Quasar Galactic on Neptune. She had found Titan Garden in her database and boarded a commercial flight to the Solar hub with intent to purchase a used starship. Risk assessment of shopping on Neptune yielded high possibility of being hassled, and the hub colony on Titan predicted much better values from more desperate vendors. Red Raven Towing & Salvage appeared promisingly desperate, so she headed to their main office, flush with credits. She arrived in time to find Amy, Haley and Lydia hard at work refurbishing a salvaged gunship called the Sunfish, a small Martian craft with a cabin built for one to two crewmembers. Her large audio sensors could pick up the rest of the crew chatting inside the office, recalling encounters with Interpol in a displeased tone and looking for fences on a space station; her internal model simulation ruled out the possibility of lawn disputes and determined instead that this group were likely receptive to receiving information as partial payment for a refurbished starship. When talking with Scarlet about purchasing the Sunfish she offered to share information she overheard on the journey from Neptune about a scrap diamond shipment- a recent sea-breaking operation has produced shreds of carbon as a byproduct and a band of work supervisors have hidden some significant chunks of diamond in the chaff to sell on Terran markets. Scarlet could see the value in knowing this and offered EV3R a 30% markdown on the Sunfish. They reached a deal and EV3R hung around Red Raven while the crew finished refurbishing her new gunship.
EV3R doesn't keep any permanent address and doesn't work for anyone but herself. She may bounce around the Sol system from port to port but she likes to visit Titan Garden often when she has some valuable information to trade. The risk assessment of a Red Raven job is often worth the experience of joining them on an adventure, and when the take is split and she receives her share it's time to bounce off to the next port to see what kind of rumors her sensor array can pick up next.
