CURRENT ECHOES

PHYSICAL ECHOES

> Red, robotic eyes
> Immortal Spark -- if Chris is killed, her soul will now live on as a "ghost." See app for more details. To characters with enhanced senses, she now gives off a distinct electromagnetic signature. *e* She still has a human soul; she just has the "mutation" that allows her to survive beyond death now.
> ROBOT ARMS.
> PULSE LASERS
> ROBOT LEGS
> FLIGHT POWERS
> Transformation Cog -- allows Chris to hide her robotic nature.
> Is now a full robot.
> Has an alternate mode: a five foot long pyramid shaped drone fighter.

At present, Chris' "flight powers" are very unstable and not useful for sustained flight; they can, however, be used to basically rocket jump and rocket kick people. They're very noisy. She cannot fly AND shoot lasers at the same time.

MEMORY ECHOES

> Starscream's death at the hands of Galvatron, mostly in the form of feeling more than anything specific
> a very boring lecture at the Crystal City Academy of Sciences on the composition of Energon
> Flying over a city-wide metropolis under an alien sky
> THAT ONE TIME STARSCREAM CONQUERED A MEDIEVAL VILLAGE sans the part about being a GIANT ROBOT
> The Decepticon Insignia; plus what it means to her
> The first time Starscream came online (see post; while this is headcanon, it's based on actual stuff from the show)
> The word "Decepticon," the fact that it has to do with that symbol and that language, and that they were a group of rebels fighting back against... something.
> That one time Starscream cosplayed Optimus Prime, because that was indeed a thing that took place
> Starscream's name
> Starscream's arrogance in combat -- Chris will no longer instantly run from battles. She'll just wait till she's in way over her head.
> Losing Skyfire on Earth, but not that the planet in question was Earth.
> Somewhere, there is a planet named Cybertron, and something left that planet bereft of resources.
> There are many alien species in the universe, with many colors of blood. Specifically, Transformers/Cybertronians have glowing pink "blood."
> The name Unicron; the fact that Unicron is planet-sized and BAD FUCKING NEWS
> Energon also rarely appears in an natural, crystaline form, one that's even more unstable than the derived form. Also the knowledge that the derived form, while functionally identical, is still artificial and that the natural crystal form has certain properties that the artificial stuff doesn't -- like the ability to cut something called a "spark" (whatever that is)
> There was a guy named Mirage who was part of whatever faction the Decepticons fought against and he was an illusion creating douchecanoe who nobody on his own side trusted.
> There was someone named Megatron. Fuck that guy.
> Being attacked by an improbably large snake
> That Cybertron is home to the Transformers, a race of giant robots from space.
> FOUR FUCKING MILLION YEARS OF WAR
> haha killing people? nbd don't care. Total lack of concern about murder.
> There was a guy named Wheeljack. He was with the enemy, and he was a crazy inventor, and at one point he invented something called an Immobilizer. It immobilized people, and Chris stole it, but then somebody else sabotaged it. Whoops.
> The Autobots were the people that her Decepticons fought against in that great five million year long war. They were somehow simultaneously despotic and racist bourgeois overlords while also being weak-willed wishy-washy two-faced hypocritical goody two shoes, overly idealistic and isolationist with no concept of how the universe REALLY works. Her noble underclass rose up against to overthrow, but they refused to surrender, locking them in planetary conflict. ALL THEIR FAULT.

SKILL ECHOES

> how to load and fire a Walther P38 pistol; extreme accuracy with firearms (that someone with no practice shouldn't have)
> The Decepticon language
> Advanced, college-level inorganic chemistry
> College-level astronomy/astrophysics
> College-level quantum mechanics
> How to make Energon
