The Chronicle of Becky
Jesse May for Blake Bent
Male, adult
Blake Bent is the COO at OsAIris (later its CEO). He’s in his 40s, is British, graduated with honors from Cambridge, was CEO of a social media startup before being handpicked by Damian Cooper, the company’s main VC funder, to take charge of daily operations. He’s soft-spoken, very charming and smooth… but also a ruthless, self-serving, ambitious bastard with goals that go well beyond building educational models of dead historical figures.

Some of you may be wondering why an “outsider” like me is taking over as COO. The VCs backing this company – in particular, Damian Cooper – are not happy that this place is run more like a daycare than the bleeding-edge tech startup they gave billions of dollars. So as of this moment, play time is over, kiddies.
Becky! Get your ass down here to the data center, NOW!
(his predatory smile widens) What, you didn’t know that the app records your audio chat logs? But don’t look so nervous, Becky my dear. You’re not in trouble.
