Background:

Unlike many others on Planet Denver, Hester actually was born into a fairly rich family. Her father was a high ranking politician on the planet and her mother was a high ranking commissioner in the on planet department of the LPI. Due to this background she went to one of the best schools on the planet, being slightly better than the average student of her year. Early on she developed an interest for computers and the digital world finding a break from the pressure and expectations her parents put on her. In the last years of her going to school she worked hard to improve her grades to allow her to pursue a path which she wanted and which was not decided by her father, who wanted to see her following his footsteps and choose a career in politics. Hester herself wanted to go and study neural net science and coding though and mainly through the support of her mother she managed to get accepted at one of the top universities on the planet.

While studying Hester made some friends who shared her enthusiasm for programming and the neural net. They started out by doing simple things, fooling around with simulations of their neural nets, taking a look at what certain changes did to it. One day they managed to crack the security protocols of their neural net meaning that if it worked for them, it could also work with others. For a few days none of them would dare to advance any further until the day that Hester out of curiousity hacked herself into her father's neural net account. What she found disgusted her a little but also gave her onto a great idea. Using a cover identity she contacted her father and started to extort him. What she found back then were clear evidence of not only her father cheating on her mother but also that he has been taking bribes.

After seeing how surprisingly smooth it went with extorting her father she began to wonder what other secrets the politicians of her home planet have been keeping from the public. She began by working alone, keeping this a secret from her two friends. What she found about certain politicians sometimes angered her, seeing the true faces of those she knew from her childhood and the parties her father organised from time to time. Hester didn't spare a single one of them, its always been the choice of either pay or lose your career. Having the power to topple some of planet Denver's top politicians slowly began to grow over her head. After a while LPI began to find traces leading them first to another person which Hester had studied who she always considered her rival but the plot backfired when her own mother actually uncovered who was behind the series of cybercrimes.

The only reason Hester evaded arrest was due to a private message from an individual on the neural-net known by their username of "D-Pose", an infamous hacker with anti-government sentiments. The individual would not only warn her of an incoming LPI raid but advice on how to escape and had Hester not hesitated she would have gotten away without a hassle. By mulling over her choices and the advice of a complete stranger, Hester would have to endure a scuffle with her would-be captors and thereby earning her scar. Whether by sheer luck or the intervention of a benefactor, she'd manage to slip away under circumstances that felt all too convenient.

For most people an incident like this might prove traumatizing, but for Hester it served as conviction. She'd made a killing off of selling dirty secrets and had nursed a hatred for Liberty's elite and their crude henchmen. Now the only thing left for her to do was find her mysterious new friend from the neural-net. A search that would lead her to the Xeno Alliance.
