Andromeda Initiative briefings (6/6 Golden Worlds and Settlements)

Born on Earth in 2129, Alec says his love of new frontiers was fostered by a childhood in the Sierra Nevadas. According to his service record, he joined the Alliance military and was eventually assigned to Jon Grissom’s historic expedition through the Charon relay.

His experiences made him a candidate for what would later be knows as N7 training back on earth. Alec continued military service, most notably on Shanxi in the First Contact War against the Turians.

Asssigned as a military attache to the Citadel in the late 2160s, Alec became interested in artificial intelligence as a means of human advancement.

Liam Kosta is a human security and crisis response specialist with civilian tactical training.

Liam entered university for engineering but left to train for law enforcement and later transitioned to the multi-species effort of Heavy Urban Search and Crisis Response.

His multi-disciplinary skills set him apart and Liam was hand-picked by Alec Ryder to support the Pathfinder team.

Born on the Citadel space station in 2163. With informal training aided by Alec Ryder’s N7 background. Sara joined the Systems Alliance military which was continuing its search for Prothean technology after successful discoveries on mars. Initially assigned to peacekeeping duties.

Sara was approached to serve a support role for these Prothean researchers. She often describes the thrill of serving with scientists like Mateus Silva on the brink of the next great discovery.

Scott joined the Systems Alliance military and was assigned to an outpost near Arcturus Station overseeing Relay 202.

A primary route to Arcturus, this mass relay leads into contested space and has an unsavory reputation. Scott was needed to protect Arcturus but also had a “front row seat to everyone else going off to fortune and glory.”

Lieutenant Cora Harper is a human biotic and formerly an officer in the Systems Alliance military. She was transferred via the Citadel Council Valkyrie Program (a subset of their interspecies military integration plan) and placed with the asari commando unit Talen’s (?) Daughters.

Cora’s huntress training and biotic capability made her a candidate for Alec’s second-in-command and, if warranted, his successor as Pathfinder.

The first Pathfinder neural implants were created by Dr. Elen Ryder, a pioneer in human biotic implant design. While biotic implants bolster and focus electrical signals along the nervous system, pathfinder implants go a step further by connecting to not only the nervous system, but circulation, endocrine function and exteroceptive senses.

Synced with an artificial intelligence, the implants reveal their full potential. The implant is a two way connection giving full insight into the host’s physical and mental state, while allowing it to generate and alter electrical signals along my host’s neural pathways that the body processes as its own.
