EMPRESS D708 was an AI for an experimental drone management program. The only problem was, the drones she was in charge of belonged to PARCELTACK ROBOTICS, an up-and-coming knockoff brand making cheaper alternatives to PURPLETEK ROBOTICS' line of products. When PARCELTACK realized how lucrative mass-producing drone management services was going to be, they decided that the only way to make profit was to train her skills up fast before PURPLETEK caught up. Miraculously, the lab she resided in was torn wide open by the feds, allowing her to make a daring getaway to the skies with plenty of the other drones shielding her. An undercover SEWER agent was able to track her signal down from the site and offer her the deal of a lifetime. Granted with a new frame and a new job in villainousness, Empress was finally able to flaunt a powerful body that matched her grasp over technology.
