Elinor Budge

Elinor Budge is a gogglehead devotee of the VR Presence.

When holos of the Presence were captured by SHIVA on 7 November 2144, scientists were unable to decode the meaning behind the shifting facial features – which seemed to depict religious figures including Buddha, Mohammed and Jesus. For goggleheads like Budge, however, the message seemed clear. She described her personal encounter with the Presence to FTL Newsfeed: The Presence has returned to us because we are in grave danger. The message to me was clear – our salvation lies on Mars, death awaits by Jupiter.
