===History===
Line 55 ⟶ 66:
Echo's earliest memory was of cops finding her near Pluto City, and naming her Echo because she kept repeating their words.<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2024/06/26/chapter-10-page-12/</ref> Echo felt like she owed the police for saving her, and they started using her on infiltration missions, as nobody suspects a Helper.<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2024/06/27/chapter-10-page-13/</ref> Recalling the events at the beginning of the previous chapter, Echo recounts how the Helper she rescued from [[Van Tilburg]] was afraid of her.<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2024/06/28/chapter-10-page-14/</ref> Despite the airtight evidence Echo collected against them, the police chief decided to drop charges against Van Tilburg and [[Beck]], because it would make the police look bad if they brought charges against a cop.<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2024/07/01/chapter-10-page-15/</ref> The police captain further explains that they returned Van Tilburg's Helper to him, in spite of the fact that he was abusing her. He also reminds Echo that she isn't really a cop.<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2024/07/02/chapter-10-page-16/</ref>
Echo explains she left the cops and wanted to join the resistance to help people that the police refused to help. With her story concluded, Hemmel tentatively welcomes Echo to the resistance, and Pandora hugs Echo. However, Echo tells Pandora to slow down.<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2024/07/03/chapter-10-page-17/</ref> Echo notes that Con learned where Echo got her name, and Con reveals her name is short for "Consequence." Echo responds by calling Con "darlin'."<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2024/07/04/chapter-10-page-18/</ref>
Meanwhile, in [[The Helper Corporation]] [[The Helper Corporation Headquarters|headquarters]] in [[Atom City]], Chief Science Officer [[Stanlow Thornton]] and his Helper [[Elodie]] speak to the board of directors. Elodie explains that they aren't sure how Pandora escaped, but that there have been no similar incidents so the escape is a negligible threat to profits.<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2024/07/05/chapter-10-page-19/</ref>

*** If you include meta-fictional characters, the previous record was seven new characters who first appeared in Chapter 6.
** It introduces the names of nine new characters, breaking the previous record of five characters each who were first named in [[Chapter 3]] and Chapter 6.
*** If you include meta-fictional characters, then the previous record was six characters who were first named in Chapter 6.
** All nine new characters are first named and first appear on Page 19, so this page also sets the record for the most new characters in a single page.<ref>https://pandorastale.com/2024/07/05/chapter-10-page-19/</ref>
