A thin, datapad-carrying human production assistant, now loaned to Borant and quietly feeding Carl real news.
Lexis is a thin human production assistant with an ever-present datapad, previously seen backstage on Odette's shows and working After Hours (now on hiatus). Stuck in-system with her show paused, she's been loaned to Borant and stepped in as Zev's assistant, since the Open Intellect Action Network insurgents won't let untrusted staff into the underwater facility and the few who are there barely function. She greets Carl (barely stifling laughter at his kangaroo suit) and Princess Donut in the Plenty of Plenty greenroom and, in a stolen minute, quietly briefs them on the wider war: the insurgents' total orbital domination, the Syndicate's beleaguered Florida landing, and the ambiguous fate of Katia — a 'confused third party' now protecting the kinder facility.
A datapad alert then drains the color from her face, real fear replacing composure, and she pivots to coaching them on the caprid 'interlocution' etiquette of the coming show.
A thin human woman carrying a datapad, composed and professional, unchanged from her days on the show circuit.
A production assistant turned reluctant Borant staffer and covert news-source for the party.
