【VA-11 Hall-A】赛博朋克酒保行动角色介绍——TOMCAT

TOMCAT

个人渣翻自wiki fandom上的资料介绍,不能算是官方权威,也不算最齐全的介绍,仅供参考娱乐(笑)。内含剧透,建议了解剧情后再来细读。

Julian Thomas,自称TOMCAT。一个追踪都市传世Alice_Rabbit并以此为乐的神秘黑客,在寻找线索的时候来到了VA-11 Hall-A。
如果玩家在游戏剧情第16天之前给Alma 一杯燃烧石像(Flaming Moai),TOMCAT才会出现。


外表————
TOMCAT有一张中性的面孔,时刻面带着微笑。TA(性别不明)的头发左右两边分别是紫色和金色,穿着一件宽松的紫色无袖上衣。


情节————
TOMCAT在追踪 Alice_Rabbit线索时误打误撞来到了 VA-11 Hall-A,却暂时跟丢了踪迹。当Jill 询问TOMCAT的名字时,TA则神秘地表示自己的名字最好暂时保密。Jill 试图从注册信息显示中得知姓名,却发现注册信息被黑了,无法正确地显示出姓名——这样TOMCAT便能匿名支付,以便隐藏身份。

TOMCAT解释了自己为何身处 Glitch City——两周前,白骑士内部情报的大规模泄露让Alice_Rabbit的事迹成为了国际新闻。好奇心完全支配了TA,于是就开始追寻数据传输留下的线索。Jill 猜测TOMCAT是在为别人效力,但TA表示这多少算是个人的朝圣之旅吧(A pilgrimage of sorts)。

Jill 和TOMCAT继续讨论着Alice_Rabbit的身份与行动方式——TOMCAT怀疑Alice_Rabbit是一个黑客团伙,因为它的全部事迹似乎都符合同一个政见,攻击手段也始终保持一致,一直采用类似的手法,这很有可能是多个黑客服从一人指挥调度的团队。

而且无论Alice_Rabbit是谁,或者是怎样的一个群体,他们都花了大量时间在城市中到处“播种”。线索显示,当时的那段视频是从23个不同地点同时直播的。每个传输节点都被打上了传输完毕后自动销毁的烙印。每个都采用了不同的互联网服务提供商,其中一些甚至来自于城市之外,甚至还有一些程序的踪迹显示它们侵入了一些设备……在广播进行的同时,它就能趁机访问网络。Alice_Rabbit似乎提前接触过这些设备,以确保它们能够在必要时处于启动状态。
TOMCAT对Alice_Rabbit拍案叫绝,大赞其真是令人叹为观止的精湛工艺,传输出去的一切信息都不会留下任何踪迹。在数据传输完成之后,无论你怎么在那些设备上查找泄露文件的元数据,也找不到任何有用的信息。

谈话结束后,TOMCAT便准备起身走人了,并在离开前告诉Jill 自己的名字是TOMCAT。

商店里的图灵玩具纺织品就是那个蓝白色小机器人。
· TOMCAT是一位非二元性别者(non-binary,所谓非二元性别就是指超越传统意义上对男女的性别划分,不单纯属于男性或女性的性别自我认同。),TA更喜欢用性别中立的代词(they)。(我倾向于是女性,但看了同人图和原作立绘后开始怀疑人生)

Julian Thomas, otherwise known as TOMCAT, is a hacker who has been tracking the infamous Alice_Rabbit for fun who stops into VA-11 Hall-A during their search.
They appear if you give Alma a Flaming Moai at any point before Day 16.


appearance————
TOMCAT has an androgynous face with hair coloured purple on one side and blond on the other. They wear a loose fitting purple sleeveless top and are always seen smiling.

Personality————
TOMCAT is whimsical and mischievous, deciding to track down the most notorious hackers in Glitch City because it seemed like fun. TOMCAT appreciates skilled hacking, both praising Alice_Rabbit for their ability to cover their tracks while at the same time criticizing them for being "sloppier" than their first few attacks.

Plot————
TOMCAT is tracking Alice_Rabbit when they stumble into VA-11 Hall-A, apparently having temporarily lost the trail. When Jill asks for their name, TOMCAT says it's better if their name remains a mystery for the time being. Jill tries to check their name but the registry has been hacked so that TOMCAT can pay for their drinks while remaining anonymous.
TOMCAT explains why they're in Glitch City, saying that curiosity got the best of them after the massive leak of the White Knights' insider info made international news. When asked if they're working for someone, TOMCAT replies that, no, it's just for fun.
Jill and TOMCAT go on to discuss the identity and modus operandi of Alice_Rabbit. TOMCAT says that they doubt Alice_Rabbit is a group using the name as a symbol, as Alice_Rabbit's actions are too consistent. Therefore it's likely that Alice_Rabbit is either an individual or a group being lead by an individual.
After awhile TOMCAT says they have to get going and tells Jill their name right before they leave.
