Camron is an Accra Labs Android and a staple of Titan Garden's news network. He is an inquisitive and persistent person, believing that people are at their best when they're well-informed of the issues of their time, and so he endeavors to bring the facts of the world to his viewers' television sets every night. He doesn't keep many powerful friends- neither corporate nor criminal- and he doesn't lose any sleep about this fact, as he is in fact a tireless machine and takes pride in that distinction. Among the regular citizens of Titan, Camron has a trustworthy vibe about him. People who know him, know him to mean what he says and say what he means; you're not gonna catch Camron on the streets and have a talk with him, only to find your words taken out of context later that night. That's not the kind of guy he is, and that's what keeps him busy.
Professionally, Camron is part of the Channel 7 news team, serving as an on-the-ground reporter at the scene of various events throughout the Garden. He specializes in first-on-the-scene reporting at breaking news events, using his small size and nimble mobility to report from places larger reporters couldn't hope to reach. Can your reporters fly, Action News 10? We didn't think so. In addition to late-breaking news coverage, Camron is also an investigative journalist, striving to document and bring to light items of critical importance to the general public, which is a big reason he doesn't have many friends in powerful places. Because of this disciplined adherence to his values, Camron has earned the trust of much of Titan's viewership, although there are a fair number of people who think he's just "out there stirring up trouble". For these viewers, Action News 10 is more their speed.
While it's not uncommon for Androids to pursue careers outside their designated purposes, Camron is an example of an Android who does exactly what he was designed to do. His drone body is slightly bulkier than most Accra frames, but this size increase allows him to carry a large, high-resolution camera and boom mic to dangerous locations and either record or beam live feed of himself to a more secure studio location. Coupled with this, Camron's AI was exposed to archives of old Terran journalism, building an understanding of how to convey complex issues in ways a viewer can parse and understand, how to compose an informative camera shot, and importantly, whose interests his journalism should serve. Using his hard-light projected form as a focal subject for his drone-body's camera work, Camron serves as an extremely compact and self-sufficient field reporting team. He likes what he does, and he feels that by bringing the inner workings of power to light for the general public to see and understand he makes a real difference in his corner of the world.
Two particular shoes Camron enjoys being a stone in are the Delta Astronautics megacorp, and a yet-unnamed organized crime ring operating behind a main public point of contact, the Quasar droid called S41NT. Camron has been working on an ongoing exploration into Delta's version upgrade practices and the cycles of debt they tend to lock their astronav droids into, pushing updates that diminish battery efficiency when new model chassis generations are made available, and the lengths HAL droids will go to to circumvent these planned-obsolescence patches and keep the bodies they prefer to have. He has interviewed a fair few HAL-3 and HAL-4 droids who don't want to make the jump to HAL-5, he's talked to some of the mechanics who help stabilize their battery outputs following these EOL patches, and he's worked covertly with the crew at Altair Electronics to scour Delta systems databases for proof or evidence of intent behind these practices.
The other major project Camron has been working on is a deep dive into the criminal underworld of Titan Garden. This project has been a lot more difficult to dig into for the lack of names he has to work with; heists, bank jobs, smuggling, counterfeit and bootlegging are not uncommon occurrences in the space around Saturn, and while the perpetrators of these acts are as varied as they come, there are hints that a loose affiliation of professional criminals have a hand in a lot of the moonlight business that goes on in the Outer Belt. Curiously, a lot of these professional crooks reportedly operate by a strict code, going to lengths to minimize collateral damage and to avoid civilian casualties at all costs. Trigger-happy hotheads don't last long in Titan's orbit, but a broad spectrum of illicit activity that gets reported seems extremely clean for the dirty work that it is. Camron suspects there's a larger gravitational force beneath these disparate criminal outfits acting to keep them in line, enforcing a brand of professionalism that keeps the whole community below the radar. The trouble here is that these crews make sure not to get caught, not to leave bread trails and not to be identified, and if anyone in their orbit knows about what they're doing, they won't say. Camron has a lead to breaking through this wall of silence, though: a former truck driver for the Baxler Distribution Company has seen the work Camron does for Channel 7 news, and has reached out to him privately. He wants to talk.
