Position: Field tester, ESI Labs [subsidiary company]
Salary: [Withheld]
Security Clearance: [Withheld]
Direct Supervisor: Brad King, Director, ESI Labs
Imagination time!
You're an engineer, alright? And you just thought of this totally great idea for an ultra-portable flamethrower that you whipped together on your lunch break and can't wait to try. Your colleagues all agree it's brilliant and the little flame decals you stuck on the nozzle are totally sweet. Just one little problem. Maybe you're familiar with it.
Your boss hates it when you fire off a homemade flamethrower in the building.
You need to try it, though, right? I mean, you're hoping to market this baby, and that's not happening without a little testing. Besides, you're not entirely sure the tanks won't explode once the fuel hits pilot light, and you'd hate to blow up at a product demo. So waddayado?
You give it to Cat.
Cat's the go-to-girl for most, though not all, of ESI Lab's Products of Mass Innovation. No one's quite sure how she got the job, but everyone agrees she's qualified for it unless she happens to be giving their device a bad review at the time. Calm, cool, and collected, she approaches new experiments in monster killing with a dedication that straddles the thin, loopy line between "Driven" and "Absolutely Apeshit Insane." Honestly, she'd make a fine Templar. She makes a decent Lumie, too, but only so long as she's allowed to stay within the skewed comfort zone that her mission allows.
With all the hotspots flaring up around the globe these days, the Sponsors don't see that being a problem anytime in the foreseeable future.
