Rachel Casich

Rachel Casich is a braindance producer at Fourth Wall Studios in.

Biography
In 2077, Rachel had heard Joshua Stephenson's story being told in the media and saw an opportunity to exploit it to make a new braindance of his experiences. Rachel approached Stephenson in prison and offered him a deal: Stephenson would be released from prison under close NCPD supervision and permitted to visit the families of the victims he murdered so that he may try to seek forgiveness. In exchange, Rachel would be permitted to record all of his experiences, including his death by crucifixion and sell it as a high production braindance.

Rachel believed that Stephenson was crazy for deciding to end his life in such a brutal way, but that was irrelevant to her, she saw that Stephenson genuinely believed in what he was doing, which made it a truly unique experience for a braindance compared to actors. She titled the braindance "The Passion" and made arrangements for Stephenson's final days.

While traveling with Stephenson and NCPD officer Vasquez to visit Stephenson's victim's families, Rachel encounters Bill Jablonsky and V, chasing their vehicle. After Vasquez collides their vehicle into a truck, he confronts the pursuers. If V does not intervene in the altercation between Vasquez and Jablonsky, Stephenson asks V to accompany them on his mission, to which Rachel loudly objects as she does not want anything to distract or interfere with Stephenson's emotions while they are working on the braindance. Stephenson insists that V joins and Rachel reluctantly accepts in order to keep on schedule.

Rachel listens in on the conversations between V and Stephenson in the car rides to and from the El-Ahmar residence and becomes increasingly concerned about the nature of the conversation as she feels it is changing Stephenson's emotions. When the group stops at Pie-Z for lunch, Rachel ushers Stephenson and Vasquez inside so that she may talk to V privately in the car. She explains her concerns about V's conversations with Stephenson and offers to bribe V with money if they simply walk away and stop interfering with Rachel's project. If V refuses, Rachel becomes annoyed and enters Pie-Z to join Stephenson and Vasquez. Rachel tries to control her temper while V continues talking to her and Stephenson but ultimately snaps. She ends V's involvement in the project and abruptly leaves with Stephenson and Vasquez.

Some time later, Rachel organizes the crucifixion event for Stephenson in Stage 11 at Fourth Wall Studios. However, shortly before Stephenson is due to lay himself upon the cross, he begins to become very nervous and refuses to do it until he has spoken to V. Rachel, concerned about completing the project, agrees to call V and summon them to the studio. When V arrives, Rachel is clearly very stressed about the whole situation, concerned about the fate of her project rather than Stephenson's well being. Rachel shows V to Stephenson's dressing room and gives them a moment before interrupting to inform them it is time for Stephenson to go through with the crucifixion. If V agreed to Stephenson's request to have V nail him to the cross, Rachel will initially object, but quickly complies just to finish the project. Rachel explains to V what to do and that their lines will be on a teleprompter for them. After V or an actor has nailed Stephenson to the cross and the scripted lines have been performed, Rachel watches on and waits for Stephenson to die. She then thanks V for their help in getting the project finished and says she will contact them and wire their payment once the braindance has been released.

Depending on V's conversations with Stephenson, Rachel later calls V and sends their share of the sales from "The Passion". If V had been supportive of Stephenson, Rachel will call V ecstatically happy that the braindance was a huge success and thank them. If V was pessimistic during their conversations with Stephenson and sowed doubt in his mind, Rachel will call V absolutely furious that they ruined the project.
