The guys at Roosterteeth are doing a Freelancer art contest. I decided to do the original badass Freelancer moments, where Tex rips out poor Jimmy's skull and beats him to death with it.
For those not in the know, up there is Agent Texas, of the Freelancer program, in Roosterteeth's hit machinima series Red vs Blue. Tex is the only Freelancer that was there from season one. I'd recommend going and watching it, at least from season 6. I'm going to say some big spoilers coming up here, but all you need to know is this. Season 1-5 are all comedy. The foundation for a few of the story elements in season 6-10 are laid down, but it's pretty much pure comedy. The quote above is from season 1. Season 6-10 is where we learn pretty much everything to do with the freelancers.
Tex up here is the best of the Freelancers, an elite team of badasses tricked out with the best equipment and training, using experimental AI to help operate said equipment. She's kind of in a relationship with Church, and she's kind of dead, and she was kind of never alive, and it's all very complicated.
So, big plot spoilers ahead. I mean REALLY big. So Project Freelancer was told to do experiments with AI, but were only given one AI and told to deal. It follows the Halo rules for AI, which means that the AI is based off of a human mind. There's a whole thing I can go down with how this affects everything, but there's no point. The person that the AI, the Alpha, is based off of once had a girlfriend who died, someone connected to the person so thoroughly that the process "brought her back" sort of, a fractured mirror image of her.
She's a bitch and she's the best. Both of these things have put her at odds with the two teams I've seen her on. The only person I've seen her get along with is Agent York, and their team ups aren't as frequent as I'd like and unlikely to increase in regularity. She's died a few times, but it never seems to slow her down, and I doubt the last time she died is actually going to stick. She's kind of a badass, and her voice actress is somewhat higher up in the company, the character having been there for ten years.
I'm not sure what episode the above quote is from, I kinda got reminded of it during a Red vs Blue marathon and didn't write it down, but it's early on in season 1.
