Toru McLintock–Riley was a miner operating at the Svarog Mine on the Union of Progressive Peoples mining planet Shānmén.
Biography[]
Born in New Zealand,[1] Toru was one of the seven sisters and one brother that formed the family members of the mining consortium known as the Knot.[2] The members of the Knot were indentured workers to the Jùtóu Combine.
When Toru turned 50 years old, her sisters found Carter, a discarded pleasure model synthetic. They refurbished and modified him extensively to be useful beyond his initial parameters. Then they tied a bow around his neck and presented him to Toru at a big birthday party. Toru kept his initial programming, but also developed his secondary resources to be of use in the Knot’s actual work in mining.[3]
Events on Shānmén[]
Toru and Carter discovered alien ruins while driving a deep shaft below Shaft One of the Svarog mine to locate an Eitr seam.[4]
After the attack on Shānmén by a Juggernaut-class spaceship, Toru took shelter in the mine with the other survivors. [5] Toru and Carter guided and protected the survivors through the alien ruins beneath the mine in order ot escape and be rescued.[6]
Though she survived the groundside ordeal, Toru sacrificed herself over Shānmén to protect what remained of her family from a pathogenic mutant.[7]
Equipment[]
