Rebecca W

Rebecca W was a level 3 Earth crawler murdered by Frank Q on the First Floor. Carl and Donut discover her stripped body near the Hoarder neighborhood. The recap later reveals that Frank, Maggie, and Yvette ambushed Rebecca's original group, pursued her after she escaped, and shot her when she was alone. Rebecca is described as a slight Asian woman of about thirty with her hair in a ponytail. Her left arm bears a full sleeve tattoo featuring a koi and a crane. The ink appears unusually bright and recent compared with older tattoos. A moth tattoo lies at the center of her chest. Carl finds her naked body propped against or sitting by a wall at the edge of the Hoarder neighborhood. A single gunshot passed through the moth tattoo and killed her almost instantly, leaving relatively little blood. Her corpse interface identifies her as Crawler Rebecca W, level 3. Rebecca entered or soon joined a larger group of Earth survivors. Frank Q, Maggie My, and their teenage daughter Yvette approached that group as apparent allies. They waited until the others relaxed and then attacked with firearms. Rebecca and one man escaped the first volley. The man ran into a hostile plant mob and died. Rebecca fled into an area occupied by scatterer bugs. Frank tracked her, cornered her, and shot her. The recap shows that the killing was a deliberate pursuit rather than an accident during a confused battle. The corpse contains only an apple core. Rebecca's clothing, usable inventory, and other possessions are gone. Carl initially considers whether goblins or other mobs stripped her, but later evidence points to Frank and Maggie looting their victims. The system explicitly lists Frank Q as her killer. This is one of Carl's first direct proofs that Earth crawlers are murdering other crawlers. The body is close enough to a safe area to undermine the assumption that human proximity provides protection. When confronted, Frank attempts to justify his actions by describing the murdered group as human traffickers. The recap contradicts him. It shows an introduction, an ambush, and the pursuit of frightened survivors. No evidence supports his accusation against Rebecca. The lie matters because it is designed to turn predation into self-defense. Frank does not merely conceal the killing; he invents a category of victim whom others might consider disposable. Rebecca cannot answer the charge, so the broadcast record becomes the only available rebuttal. Rebecca's death changes how Carl reads the minimap. Blue dots indicate crawlers, but stealth and line-of-sight limitations mean hostile humans may appear too late. He begins thinking about ambushes, firearms, and whether crawler markers can be hidden. The incident also leads into the player-killer plot involving Frank and Maggie. Tracking tools, safe-room rules, party information, and the distinction between mob and crawler threats all become urgent. Rebecca's brief record therefore has a large mechanical consequence. Carl remembers Rebecca beyond the immediate investigation. The apple core and the sight of her body become associated with disgust, appetite loss, and the collapse of ordinary trust. Her murder is not treated as a random casualty count. Rebecca has no confirmed class, family history, nationality, or spoken dialogue in the surviving narrative. A responsible biography cannot invent those details. What can be recovered is the sequence that the killers attempted to erase: she trusted a family of fellow survivors, escaped their ambush, was hunted down, and died alone.
