Carol Emeka

Carol Emeka is Nomad Techie and member of the Aldecaldos in.

Biography
Like many members of the Aldecaldos, Carol is a veteran of the Unification War, from which she has unpleasant memories of being stuffed in panzers.

In 2077, Carol's clan leader Saul Bright was kidnapped during a patrol by a Raffen Shiv gang called the Wraiths. A distressed Carol acted in his place while worrying about Saul's wellbeing, the clan's supplies being stuck outside Reno, and the prospect of the Wraiths returning due to the vulnerable the state of the camp. Panam Palmer, a fellow Aldecaldo who had seperated from the clan earlier, would not stand with their inactivity and took it upon herself to rescue Saul. For that reason she brought in a mercenary friend named V and, together with clan member Mitch Anderson, presented a plan to infiltrate the Wraith Camp and extract Saul. Being in over her head, Carol simply stood by quietly and let Panam carry out her plan.

Together with clan members Teddy, Cassidy, and Taco, Carol then met a group of Scavengers in Santo Domingo to sell them weapons as the Aldecaldos were in dire need of money. As their delivery was delayed, however, Carol and the Scav leader agreed to a 15% discount. V can walk into their discussion, causing Cassidy to be surprised and slightly annoyed, saying that they do not need to be patronized. While Carol tries to salvage the tense situation with the jumpy Scav leader, V's presence will then prompt him to recognize them for being the merc that took out the Scavenger hideout to rescue Sandra Dorsett.


 * If V simply deserts the Aldecaldos by departing the scene, Carol will write a text message, saying "We put our hopes on you, V. Fool us once, right?". Carol moves on that, due to Panam seeing something special in V, she is going to let it slide this one time. Apparently her and the others survive their dealing with the Scavs even without V's assistance, though.


 * The negitiations go sour as the Scav leader is triggered by V's presence. After defeating all Scavangers during the ensuing firefight, Carol will be very annoyed by V ruining the deal, even if the latter pointed out that the Scavs had a sniper hidden in the back. Cassidy jumps in and points out that V might have prevented a much worse outcome, and Teddy opts for looting the Scav corpses and cars.


 * V can intimidate the Scav leader, who then relents and closes the deal as agreed. Even though Carol remarks that V's words "sent chills down her spine, literally.", she is grateful for their help.

The different outcomes described above do not alter Carol's dialogue after that mission.

Together with Teddy, Cassidy, Bob, and Mitch, Carol subsequently supported Panam's plan to strengthen the clan by stealing a Basilisk tank from a Militech convoy through the Badlands. The plan was to solicit V's help and hack a derelict train at Union Railroad to block the convoy's way. Saul staunchly objected to the risky undertaking, but Carol was convinced of Panam's plan, which she called "Damn short, sweet, and pertinent". She also hacked the Militech comms channel to make sure the entire thing is not a setup. At the abandoned railway station, Carol jokingly remarked to simply keep the locomotive instead of getting the tank, adding that Saul would be on board with that. She then instructed Panam and V to get the authorization code from the station's control tower so that she could hack the train. During the job, Carol remained somewhat sceptical and distanced towards V, noting that Panam rallied her fellow Aldecaldos to help, but still called V, too, which she found interesting. On the eve of the heist, the group sat by the fire together, where Carol noticed Panam being nervous about defying Saul. She added that Panam was not the first one to stand up to Saul, indirectly referring to Teddy, and later remarked that it is for the Aldecaldos to make a name for themselves again that they were doing what they did. Despite encountering more Militech resistance as initally anticipated, the group successfully hijacked the convoy and stole the Basilisk tank the next morning.
