- — Ray
Ray (named Seventeen by Dr. Vinderman) is the Commander's Assistant and notifies the player of storm data and objectives.
History[]
Pre-Save the World[]
Ray was Dr. Vinderman's assistant in the storm defense project. She thought he was insane to think something like the storm would appear, but she trusted him and kept helping him with the project.
Her name, personality, and her voice were based off of Vinderman's previous lab partner Desiree, after Desiree abandoned him thinking he was insane.
Save the World[]
Ray was present at the Stonewood Homebase Outpost, broadcasting a distress call for help ("If anyone can hear me, I need your help. I'm all alone out here").
She was there with Pop, Lok, and Kevin. Once the Commander arrived, she briefly introduced them and requested assistance in helping Ramirez rescue a group of survivors and launch a rocket.
She instructed Pop to set up a Storm Shield to help Ramirez and the Survivors defend against Husks and Mist Monsters. Ray provided the Commander with resources to build a fort around the Storm Shield for protection. Afterward, they obtained the ATLAS blueprint and constructed multiple devices to combat the storm.
During the second Storm Shield expansion, Ray revealed to the Commander that the shield essentially functions like a bomb and expressed uncertainty about why it creates a shield instead of a crater.
Throughout various missions, Ray assists the Commander by scouting balloon landing sites and tracking the Storm's movement during defenses. Ray makes appearances in most Event Questlines.
Personality[]
Ray is helpful, but her actions often lead to unintended problems, such as when she accidentally broke the Air Strike device, or sent SEE-Bot off into the desert because he was becoming a nuisance at Homebase. Her naïveté is apparent, especially during the spring questline where she repeatedly fell for the storm gold trap, driven by a bit of greed at the sight of gold. Safety hazards don't seem to concern her much either, as shown when she got Pop struck by lightning to wake him up. Ray also tends to take serious situations lightly, like when Pop became evil, and she dismissed it as just an "evil phase."
On the flip side, Ray sometimes gets overly serious about things of little importance. For instance, she became convinced that Easter eggs were placed by a "serial decorator" and got incredibly hyped when the Heroes were launching fireworks.
Trivia[]
- In some missions, Ray's name is misspelled as "RaY". It was possibly an easter egg or a bug.
- The voice actress of Ray is Ashly Burch.
- In the Long Road Home questline, Ray is seen as Dark Ray
- Her former name "Seventeen" is referenced by her cosmetic set, the 17 set.
- In early online tests of the game, Ray was absent as the player was instead instructed by an unknown male voice called in the game files "announcer" (which it was discovered later that the VA is Nolan North). [1] In later online tests, Ray made her debut and, whilst still voiced by Ashly Burch, had a slightly different voice tone.[2]
