Bes Isis

Bes Isis, born Nancy Hartley[1], is the ex-keyboardist for the band Samurai. After the end of her musical career, she became an investigative journalist for Network News 54.

2000s - 2020

Nancy Hartley was the keyboardist for the band Samurai. She was a member of the band until 2008 when she spent seven months in jail for throwing her abusive husband out of their 83rd story apartment through the window. During her incarceration, the band was dissolved.

At some point after her release, she took on the name Bes Isis and became a major media presence on Network 54 due to her persistent pursuit of stories nobody else dared to cover.

Sometime in 2011, Bes Isis was in Mexico City, working on a story about the American nomad underground in the region, specifically about the 1990s band Justifiable Homicide. While having a drink in a local bar with the band, a 16-year-old soldier came to her, giving a story about 600,000 nomad workers marooned in South America, trying to get out by walking 3000 miles, in an event known as "The Long Walk". Bes Isis documented the story and was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize for it. Later, she participated in The Long Walk itself.

2045

By 2045, Isis continues to run a show on the Data Pool,[4] having a mixed reputation compared to other Medias due to her rule-breaking investigations, as well as having replaced her leg and chest with chrome replacements to feign injury to obtain a "meat jumping" story.

Bes Isis is a well-known freelance Media who has a reputation for being slightly off-balance when it comes to scooping other Medias. More than once, she's broken a few rules to get the inside scoop on a big story, sometimes at significant personal cost. She has one chrome leg and a similar replacement for half of her chest. These were necessary after she faked injury to get a story on "meat jumping."
