Another! I can’t be stopped!

Epsilon’s has actually been my favorite of these sheets I completed so far; I really like both how his design and concept turned out. Maybe it’s a little blasphemous of me to say as an RVB fan but I honestly liked Epsilon more than Alpha in terms of Churches. Maybe my bias is showing here. 

Here’s some information about this funny little guy:

- During this series, most of the fun of it has been figuring ways to translate Red vs. Blue canon into Star Trek canon. So, for Epsilon, I had to think on it for awhile before I came up with a way to turn an AI program into something less physical than an android (which Church is) but still computery. And, I finally hit upon a hologram! If you can’t tell by his name, Epsilon is different from a hologram like the EMH; he was created by the Director specifically to use in the development of the Alpha android. Basically, he was like a Cloud backup, saving all of Alpha’s information so if something went wrong all the work would be saved. He could also be used to do diagnostics on Alpha’s programming.

- Like in canon, after the collapse of Project Freelancer, Epsilon was stored away for years and years, until being reactivated by Caboose after Alpha’s destruction. I imagine Epsilon would be stored on a little chip in a compartment somewhere on Alpha Church’s body, and in the Season 6-equivalent downtime, Caboose is dismantling Alpha’s body to try and get him working again and discovers Epsilon. 

- As RVB is a comedy show, I think its hypothetical Star Trek equivalent would be much more silly and weird, like Next Gen and TOS as compared to the ultra-serious modern shows. So, with Epsilon being a hologram, you KNOW there would be so many ridiculous holosuite shenanigans. I think he would really get a kick out of participating in that nonsense. 

- One last little note about his uniform; the rest of the uniforms for this series are all Next Gen-based, but I wanted to make Epsilon’s based on a Voyager uniform, both as a way to differentiate him from Alpha Church and as a nod to the Doctor. 

You probably think this song’s about you, That’s just your narcissistic point of view.

Red vs Blue Season 14: Mobile Theme Headers

Church:No no no, Tex, no. I think I just figured out what the Director couldn't. And Alpha either. It was you, Tex, all along. See I thought- I thought we, made you. The Director, and the fragments... but that's not the case. You made us. When the Alpha was created, you just kinda came along for the ride. You gave the Director the idea that he could make something more. That he could split the Alpha up. Don't you get it you were the memory. You were the key. You were so strong, you made a whole other person. God - he always wanted to find you. You know to get you right. To just see you one last time. And he wanted me to be able to do the same. To find you in here or... to find you in here or just, go down another iteration. Figure out this little Tex problem. Figure out how to do it right. But now I know. I know how to fix all o' this. How to end it once and for all. It was so simple all along. I just had to tell you three words. Three words I wasn't capable of telling you before.

Tex: Oh, okay, wait a minute... are you gonna say "I love you?"

Church:No Tex, no, I'm not gonna say I love you. I'm gonna say I forget you.

Church:I forget you. I'm letting you go.
