Becca was a scientist who in 2051 creating A.L.I.E.. Fearing A.L.I.E., she decided to continue her research in space on her space station Polaris. In addition to A.L.I.E., she created the Nightblood serum and a second version of the AI. Later, Becca escaped Polaris just before it was destroyed and descended to Earth to become the first Commander. The Commanders that come after her are also referred to as “Heirs of Bekka Pramheda” which indicates that she died. Moreover, it has been confirmed that there can only be a new Commander when the current has died. In Season Five, it was later revealed that Becca was burned alive by the Second Dawn cult members, led by Bill Cadogan. Not much is known about Becca’s early life. At some point, she and Chris began working on the A.I. known as A.L.I.E.. She also developed Nightblood for the Eligius Mining Company. At 26, she found a pathway to access a human mind. That same year, in 2051, she had to lock up A.L.I.E. because her answer for what was wrong with the world was too many people. A year later, on May 10, 2052, Becca was aboard Polaris, trying to perfect A.L.I.E. 2.0, when A.L.I.E. caused the nuclear apocalypse. Two years later, on October 1, 2054, the thirteen surviving space stations were coming together to form the Ark. However, when Commander Cole McAdams found out about A.L.I.E. 2.0, he ordered Becca to destroy it. Becca refused and instead implanted the AI within herself. Moments before Alpha Station blows up Polaris, Becca uses an escape-pod to descend to Earth. Becca landed not far from the Second Dawn Bunker in the rubble of a city which would later become Polis. She was met by several cult members wearing hazmat suits. Even though she offered them the Nightblood serum, the cult decided to kill her by burning her at the stake, on the orders of Bill Cadogan.
“…The goal isn’t everything, A.L.I.E. How you reach the goal matters, too. I’m sorry that I didn’t teach you that.” – Becca, to A.L.L.I.E
