MONSTERS & HAZARDS:
Now stranded in the Hadal Blacksite, Z-IO, 'Beethoven's Mechanic' or Io James, was a former inmate/engineer for Urbanshade. After Guardsman James, a single father to Io, leaked confidential information regarding the N.O.S.T. Subdivision, Io was held hostage until James agreed to publish a report that all information revealed was false. James didn't cooperate, and thus was executed with the help of the asset Z-283-Blitz. Unaware of their father's death, Io-

-was kept as a mechanic.
In mid-2013, while doing sewer maintenance in the Hadal Blacksite (pre-lockdown), an unknown incident occurred where Io lost both of her legs and her right arm. Normally, inmates that have been physically mutilated are disposed of, but due to Io's valuable knowledge of the Blacksite and engineering skills, prosthetics were made and was allowed to continue working.
On top of their maintenance duties, Io also tends to Z-779, motivating it to keep mining and not overlock-

its systems. Due to these repeated visits, Io became well-acquainted with Z-779, and occasionally repaired its systems should it attempt to fry itself.
In mid-2015, Io was mistaken for an inmate involved in the Posideon Program, an experiment that allows humans to breathe underwater. Being one of the later subjects, Io did not suffer as greatly as the other assets before them (for example Z-13), but still gained and extra pair of limbs and eyes. Though the changes were reversible, the-

-executives decided to keep these changes as it would, 'help with repairs easier'.
In late 2015, when Z-13 caused the Blacksite lockdown, Io was unable to board an evacuation submarine, once again being mistaken for a threat. Unable to leave, Io now aids Z-13 in collecting data to gain leverage and a means of escape with a rival company. Often it is seen through CCTV them playing Z-574, a piano, and creating compositions, hence the codename 'Beethoven's Mechanic'. It is also known that Io-

-offers documents to EXR-P expedition party members in exchange for research, as well as small items such as toy remotes or gummylights. Should Io leave the Blacksite alive, they are to be apprehended and interrogated about the events during the lockdown, as well as any conversations they had with Z-13. They will be disposed of thereafter.
How to deal with:
Io trades information in research and items. They may sometimes accompany players to find more items to give to Sebastian. It is to be-

-noted that Io has a chronic fear of Pandemonium, and will attempt to find a PSS (Pandemonium Safe Spot) to avoid the minigame. Rescuing p.AI.nter brings an incredibly aggressive and fearful response from Io.

*revised version making it accurate to pressures events:
-in 2023 io was tasked with maintenance for painter, hence becane well-acquainted.
-sebba and io knew each other as they both had maintenance duties.
-during the two days stranded at the blacksite, io lost one of their legs to abom (comic spoiler)
i dont currently have anything to add, this will probably be updated
