Operator story: Ptilopsis

Joyce Moore, codenamed "Ptilopsis", once worked for Rhine Lab as a database maintenance staff until the Liberi voluntarily became the subject of an R.L. experiment to utilize Originium for creating an "organic computer" so she could remember her late friend Dellareed, the one who theorized that Originium can store past memories, and prove her theory by uncovering Terra's lost history. The experiment was a risky one, in which an Originium-based direct neural interface named "Device #9" was implanted right onto Joyce's brain. Fortunately, she survived, but the Device's presence affected her thought and speech patterns in which Joyce behaves as if she is a self-aware computer by making remarks that would be appropriately said by an artificial intelligence/A.I. The Oripathy caused by the experiment also led to her suffering from narcolepsy.

After the experiment, Joyce worked alongside Dr. Olivia Silence as her assistance. It was until the disastrous "Diαbolic Crisis" that led to her departure from the company alongside Silence after R.L. made a full collaboration with Rhodes Island under Kristen's agreement. Since then, Joyce has been staying in R.I. as one of its medical staff and database managers to receive treatment for mitigating her health issues caused by the Device #9. Many R.I. members don't mind Joyce's eccentricity, instead finding her interesting.
