Eleesha is an investigative journalist for SNC (Sol News Channel). She managed to obtain the medical files of several financial and political leaders in the Federation, proving their Mush infection. After her report was taken off the air, Eleesha fled to Jupiter for fear of being eliminated. She revealed all this to the crew of the Daedalus and is currently on board posing as an mechanic.

How to play

Bronze Tips

Tracker: Eleesha's unique skill, which allows you to: (1) view the direction of people's movements in the room events log; as well as (2) double the expiry time of the logs to 16 cycles; and (3) print the once-off List on the Tabulatrix. This skill is absolutely essential in investigative Mush Hunting, and the only reasons why you shouldn't take this skill are if the Mush are all somehow dead before you have the chance to take it...or if there are no Technicians on the ship.

Technician: Would've been your best skill, if it weren't for the fact Eleesha's unique Tracker is absolutely essential for Mush Hunting. Unlike Tracker, however, Technician is universally useful from the beginning to the end of the game. Free points, the ability to dismantle objects as well as the bonus it gives to many NERON Projects makes this one of the best choices for Bronze.

IT Expert: A versatile skill that gives you 2 points per day, which you can use in nearly any terminal (research, project, planet scanning & analyzing, and communications), plus a bonus to some NERON projects. It is especially useful when coupled with Technician, as it means you can contribute significantly to research/projects while still mush-hunting! In addition to that, with this skilll you have 50% base chance of hacking into a terminal with the Hacker Kit. It's not a bad skill, but not one should take when Bronze.

Observant: A skill that provides Eleesha with some defense, as discourages the Mush from using Covert actions while you're in the room. It can be especially useful when relaying or doing expeditions while Mush are still alive. It also allows you to search for hidden items in a room for free, which is situationally useful. It's not a bad skill, but not one should take when Bronze.

Determined: Absolutely not worth taking as Bronze, or any other modes. It's easily one of the lousiest skills in the game.

Silver Tips

Unless for some reason the Mush are already dead, the only consideration with Silver players is which skill should be taken in addition to Tracker, which also determines what role you're primarily going to play on the ship.

Tracker / Technician: Allows you to be an invaluable member of the team from the beginning to the end. In most cases, this is your best bet.

Tracker / IT Expert: Is especially useful if the ship already has a Technician and your {{Character|Paola} is inactive or your ship urgently requires help in Lab Research.

Tracker / Unknown skill: A mush hunter powerhouse. A good combination if your ship is extremely active and thus doesn't need help in any area, thus allowing you to focus solely on swiftly erradicating the mush.

Technician / IT Expert: A rather magical combination of skills that allows you to be very useful in NERON projects, Lab Research and PILGRED repairs. However, it does come at the expense of your invaluable mush-hunting skills.

Gold Tips

The only acceptable choice here is to drop Determined, as it's the only of your skills that almost completely useless.

Useful tips

• Eleesha is high on both the Comms Manager list and the Neron Admin list. You should be familiar with these roles should you end up holding them.
• Janice can cure your Chronic Vertigo if she has the Shrink skill.

Biography

3124 

Born on Earth.

3132 

Death of Daryn Williams, Eleesha's father, in suspicious circumstances during an expedition on Tamina. The family were only given a few details regarding his death. As she grew up, Eleesha became convinced that he was still alive.

3140 

Eleesha studied computer science at university in Mexico. She got good grades, but spent most of her time searching for information on the Tamina incident on the school's network. She eventually discovered that every member of the expedition team in question disappeared, which seemed to support her theory.

3141 

Eleesha showed the results of her research to a friend who suggested she make a documentary for the SNC. Eleesha accepts and spreads her findings throughout the world of space exploration..

3142 

When going through her research data, Eleesha managed to locate Zhong Chun, the only surviving member of the Tamina exploration medical corps. Zhong told her that she had been present, and witnessed first hand the agony suffered by the team. Eleesha learns for certain that her father actually died on Tau Ceti, and now wants to know why.

3143 

Interview with Kim Jin-Su upon his return from the Tau-Ceti expedition. Eleesha questioned the famous explorer thoroughly, but he denied having any information about the events. This sequence marked the end of her documentary which was broadcast the following year by the SNC.

3144 

The documentary made the citizens of Earth aware of the opacity of the Federation's expedition system. Faced with this crisis, the minister for space exploration resigned from his post and was replaced by the explorer GL Maubrick. In continuing her research into the Tamina incident, Eleesha began compiling a report into working conditions in the mines.

3145 

Following the rebellion on Tau-Ceti, Eleesha had to cancel her trip. Throughout the years, she will report on the events of the war on Sol in sometimes dangerous situations.

3146 

An unplanned parachute jump whilst following a team of SDF paratroopers, resulted in Eleesha developing an abject fear of flying. Every flight she takes has now become a genuine ordeal which doesn't make her job as a journalist any easier.

3147 

Fortunately, Eleesha stumbled upon the work of biologist Finola Keegan. The descriptions of observed myceliums named Mush were identical to those of Chun. She got in touch with Finola immediately and set about publishing her findings on the SNC. Her report was broadcast for the most part, but Maubrick considered Eleesha a dissident and neutralised the effect of her work by producing a series of broadcasts which ridiculed the work of these women.

3149 

After the uprising on Ross154, the federation finally accepted the Mush theory but became stricter when dealing with dissidents. Finola and Eleesha are put under constant surveillance, but nobody interferes with their research.

3150 

Eleesha escapes from SDF surveillance and manages to sneak in to an official office at Valparaiso. There she discovers incriminating documents proving that a Mush alert was declared on the 4th of January 3150 within the federation itself. According to these figures, the number of infected and the spread of the disease is dizzying, and President Maubrick is clearly involved. The fact that there has been no subsequent action taken to this alert is particularly worrying to Eleesha who tries again to air a report on the subject. When this one is taken off the air at the last minute, she realises that it is too late, and the only choice she has left is to flee.

3152 

After two years of civilian life, Eleesha joined the crew on Xyloph-17. She met the Daedalus team to whom she told her secret. Kim Jin-Su, leader of the project, offered her a space aboard the ship. Eleesha accepts, but still doesn't trust the man she still believes to be responsable for the Tamina catastrophe.

3152 

Eleesha really wants Finola to join the team. She managed to build a Mush detector which would allow for any mistrust in the team to quickly be dealt with. Unfortunately Finola declines.

3153 

Finola finally lands on Xyloph-17. Handcuffed. Eleesha is up in arms about their methods, but secretly hopes that she is capable of building a detector herself.

3154 

Following a regrettable diplomatic error, the federation takes control of Xyloph-17. Eleesha takes part in the expedition to retake the Daedalus in order to flee. Once they are in orbit, the team decides to fly the ship towards the Magellan cloud. Eleesha is cryogenically frozen for the first time in her life.
