Eve

Eve

Eve is a deuteragonist in the Blaster Master series; she serves as a support droid for Jason and SOPHIA in the Blaster Master Zero trilogy.

Blaster Master Zero

Jason discovers Eve unconscious in the underground residential ruins and Sophia's equipment reacts strangely to her. She reveals that she has lost parts of her memory and has intimate knowledge of Sophia's mechanics.

After Eve is found, she becomes Jason's co-pilot in the SOPHIA III, and can give Jason information about the MA and other advice during their journey. During this time, while she's alone in SOPHIA III, she managed to gain access to a databank that is biometrically coded to her. SOPHIA III recognizes her as "Android Nora-2057: Eve" and restores her memory, though this temporarily cuts her off from Jason.

When Jason returns, Eve doesn't talk to him about these events for a while, but eventually, she finally opens up to him and tells him the truth about SOPHIA III, herself, and Fred, and their mission to hunt down mutants wherever they may be. Jason offers his assistance to hunt down the mutants, which Eve reluctantly accepts.

After the Underworld Lord is defeated, Eve thanks Jason for his help, but renders him unconscious and leaves with SOPHIA III. During the final battle, SOPHIA III was infected by the Mutant Core, and Eve tried to get SOPHIA III safely away so she could activate its self-destruct and destroy it. But before she can do so, the Mutant Core completely overtakes SOPHIA III, turning it into Invem Sophia, and traps Eve inside.

Jason tracks down Eve with the aid of Sophia Zero, but Eve, thinking she's hallucinating, tells Jason to stay away. Jason refuses and battles Invem Sophia, managing to do enough damage to it that he can get inside and free Eve. With Eve safely out of harm's way, Jason destroys Invem Sophia, destroying it and the Mutant Core once and for all.

Afterwards, Jason and Eve celebrate their victory together under a beautiful starry sky. Jason would end with a final dialogue saying "Eve, there's something I want to tell you...", implying a love confession.

“	Jason: Hey! I'm here to help! Are you alright?! Eve: ... ... ... Jason: Dammit! C'mon, please open your eyes! (From the moment I held her in my arms, my Blaster Rifle began to emit this brilliant light. The light was getting bigger and bigger, and totally enveloped us.)”

	— Jason asks about Eve's story

“

Jason: (I listened to her story, found out the reason why she's here, and learned that she seems to have lost a lot of her memory. On top of that, when it comes to tuning up and doing maintenance on SOPHIA, her skills blow mine out of the water.) Eve: It's so strange, though. I feel like I remember this sensation... Jason: (And that’s her story... I still feel like I have a lot more to learn about her, though.)”

— Jason learns about Eve

“

Eve: Hey Jason, I'm finished tuning up SOPHIA. Jason: Thanks, Eve. By the way... Now that you're back on your feet, what are you gonna do now? Eve: ... ... ... Well, if it's OK with you... Do you think I'd be able to join you? You helped me so much back there. I want to return the favor. If you're using SOPHIA to find Fred, I think I could really help you out. Jason: I'm happy to hear that... but, there's a good chance we're gonna have to fight some mutants. It'll be just as dangerous... no, probably even more dangerous than what happened here. Eve: I know, but... if you're in danger, I might be able to save you too. Jason: That's... (... She's absolutely right. I’m bound to run into things that I won't be able to do on my own going forward. If it was dangerous for her on her own, then I'm sure it'll be just as dangerous for me too. Going together is the way to do it. But, I wonder why she is so eager to lend me a hand...) Eve: I guess... that's a no, then? In that case, if you leave me... Jason: C'mon, don't say stuff like that. I... want you to help me out. Eve: Oh...! OK, you got it! Leave it to me!”

“

Eve: Jason, it looks like Fred's signal is coming from this vicinity. Jason: Is there any way we can get a more specific location? Eve: Well... looks like I can only receive the signal, not trace it... Sorry... this is the best I can do. Jason: Hey, it's not your fault. We'll just have to search for him the old-fashioned way. Eve: Hang on a second... It looks like the systems here are still in operation... and have been so for a while. Let's stay on alert. Never know what might happen.”

“

Eve: Now that I think about it... Jason, why are you searching for Fred like this anyway? Jason: Whoops, guess I never really explained it, huh? It's just my theory, but I think that Fred is a type of creature that was supposed to have gone extinct a long time ago. I'm no biologist, but I think Fred could be a clue in regards to the restoration of a lost ecosystem. That's why I need to find him and bring him home safely. Eve: I see... So that's why you need to find him sooner rather than later. Jason: (Finding SOPHIA, my encounter with mutants, meeting Eve... All of this happened because I crossed paths with Fred. I really wanna know how Fred, SOPHIA, and Eve are connected... But I think I'll keep quiet about that... for now...)”

“

Jason: I can't help but wonder what the reason is for these mutants to come all the way to the depths of the earth like this. (Looking back on our battles, it's hard to imagine that they have any sort of intelligence, but... It's quite clear that they have a sense of animosity towards SOPHIA. Maybe there is some sort of reason why they attack us...) Hey Eve, can you check SOPHIA for what info she has on mutants? Eve: Umm... sure. It'll take a little bit of time, but I'll look into it. Jason: Much obliged. Let me know if you find anything.”

Eve: Hey Jason... about the mutants... Jason: Did you find something? Eve: There wasn't anything concrete about mutants, but I found some info about something that resembles them... Jason: Resembles...? What would that be? Eve: I found an image of something that looks like a mutant, and I searched more from there. However, this info is still pretty incomplete... but I gathered up as much as I could. Jason: (Eve pulled everything up on the monitor. By indiscriminately taking all of the planetary resources they can, they end up turning the living creatures of that planet into some kind of inorganic life-form. Also, if they aren't continuously acquiring resources, they will be unable to survive. It looks like they aren't intelligent life-forms, but they are able to perceive other signs of life, and they are extremely violent towards them.) Got it... Maybe they are attacking SOPHIA because she has living beings like us on board. (It's kinda hard not to think that something bad is gonna happen when you have very little information like this...) Thanks, Eve. Eve: No problem. If I find anything else I'll let you know.”

However, if SOPHIA can't get close to a lock, you'll have to access them on foot to get them open. Jason: Got it. Thank you. After all this, how are things going over in the Glacier Area?

Looks like I'm getting a signal from a chip that seems like it could help with getting SOPHIA through the sea. Jason: The chip is in the sea though...

Jason: So, you had something you wanted to talk to me about... Eve: Before I do that... Fred, go over and sit with Jason. Fred: *ribbit ribbit* Jason: (Fred was sitting in the palm of her hand, and he seemed to understand our language because he hopped on over to me and sat by my feet. All his injuries look like they have been healed thanks to Eve's medical treatment.) Eve: Our drone here, also known as Fred, had but one purpose when it came to this planet: To blend in naturally with the creatures that lived on this planet, and search for the whereabouts of mutants. Jason: Eve...? What are you saying? Eve: Then, the mutants began to consume all the planet's natural resources and lifeforms, and the planet fell into a state of ruin. The mutants once invaded my home planet, too. Thanks to the help of some extraordinary people, we were able to hold onto our home, but the destruction was massive. That's when we developed something that could oppose the mutants that were scattered throughout space, and rescue people on other planets at the same time. That would be none other than SOPHIA III here. There was also a project that set out to create a support bot that could perform maintenance and adjustments on SOPHIA. As for that support bot... well, that's actually an android... Model number "NORA-2057: Eve." In other words, that's... me. Jason: Whoa, hold on just a minute! What are you...Are you saying that you got your memory back...? Eve: Yeah. Sorry that I didn't say anything about it until now. Jason: No worries, Eve. But, is everything that you just said really true? Eve: Yeah... honestly, I'm not supposed to be telling you this. Excessive interaction with a planet's native lifeforms is forbidden. But, since you saved me, I felt that you had the right to know... No, that's not it. I really... just wanted to tell you everything. Jason: Eve... Eve: Thank you for fighting alongside me all this time, Jason. This is... where we part ways. I have to continue this on my own. Jason: ... What do you mean? Eve: It's exactly as I said. You found Fred... so, that means you accomplished what you came here to do. That's why there's no need for you to keep putting yourself in danger fighting against these mutants. Leave the rest of this to me. I want you to return to the surface. Jason: ......... ......... No way. Eve: But Jason... why...? Jason: There's still a lot I don't get, but if these mutants are aiming to destroy the earth, then I can't just walk away now. Eve: You don't have to worry, I will... Jason: Can one really do this all alone? Where is the guarantee in that? If you fail, do you have some other way to stop the mutants? Eve: Well, I... Jason: Even if you don't think you are gonna fail, you should always eliminate any risks you can, right? You know what needs to be done in order to make that happen. Eve: ......... Jason: Eve, I... want to be there for you. Just like you are there for me. It's my turn to support you, Eve. (I held out my hand towards her.) Eve: Jason...... Will you... give me your support? Jason: (Eve's hand joined together with mine. I held it as tightly as I could.) Yeah! Leave it to me!”

— The truth

“

Eve: I checked over the intel we got from Fred, and I managed to find the location where all of these mutants are originating from. It's a place even deeper into the earth... Jason: How are we gonna get there? Eve: Looks like there's an old transport tunnel in the Industrial Area that they used for mining purposes a long time ago. Jason: Right on, thanks for looking into this. (Now that we have the WALL ability, there could definitely be an area that we previously couldn't get to without it.)”

— Hint to return to Area 3 (Talk with Eve)

“

Jason: (Since Eve's memory returned, I learned that our enemy's end goal was to drain the earth of its resources and destroy it. In other words, they need to be destroyed at all costs. There is one mutant that commands the rest of the horde... The Mutant Lord. Through its process of mutation, it has acquired unfathomable amounts of intelligence.) Eve: There's a very good chance that this commander mutant was a survivor from a battle that took place a long time ago. The reason they are attacking SOPHIA is probably because it bears resemblance to an aircraft we used in our battles with them. Before they are able to destroy the earth, they need to ensure their own survival, which is why I think they are treating SOPHIA as a top-level threat. Jason: Well, if that's the case, then it looks like we know why they are on the offensive. So, that means we gotta hurry and find where this Lord is hiding. Eve: Yeah, and to make matters worse, it can create new mutants... We also have to consider the possibility that it could create a new mutation for itself, too. Jason: OK, let's look around for any places we haven't searched yet.”

An AI that has not just emotions, but the ability to think and act on its own is still just a dream. Makes me wonder just how technologically advanced Eve's home planet is. I can only imagine at this point, though.) Eve: If you're gonna stare like that, I'm gonna wonder just what in the world you're thinking about... Jason: Ahh, sorry about that. Man, I really can't see you as anything but a normal human. Eve: ...... Are you saying that you like chicks who are robot-like? Jason: Nope, I think the way you are now is good... Eve: I... I see... Well, that's good. Hm? Why do I think that's good...?”

Jason: (SOPHIA III - a tank vehicle bearing the name of Eve's home planet. It was created as a battle tank that could destroy the mutant threat that is plaguing many planets. It's made to operate automatically, but it also has a "Blaster Rifle," a weapon that needs to be operated by hand. From a perpetual motion system to an auto-repair function, this tank sure has a lot of features. It even has a support bot that helps it perform emergency maintenance. The bot activates when SOPHIA's AI has a tough time handling the situation at hand.) Eve: That should pretty much sum up all the info I have on SOPHIA. If you have any questions, I'd be happy to answer them. Jason: Well, there is one thing... Up until now, SOPHIA's been fighting against mutants, right? Eve: Yup, that's right. Jason: So... when in the world did the mutants and SOPHIA come to this planet anyway? Eve: Hmm... I would say... they probably arrived hundreds of years ago. Jason: Hundreds of years ago? It's crazy to think they've been here so long. Eve: Due to a twist in the dimensions of space, by physically traveling between my home planet and the earth... It seems like a rift in the axis of time was created that reversed the flow of time... couldn't tell you how or why, though. Jason: Rifts in the axis of time, huh? Solving a mystery like that is definitely out of my league... Although, speaking of mysteries, I remember reading about an unidentified comet that hit the earth hundreds of years ago... Eve: Makes me wonder if that's how the mutants came here. But, that would mean the Mutant Lord has been dormant this whole time... When we pursued the mutants to Earth, I feel like it wasn't that long ago. Jason: I see... so that's how it went. (Poor thing had been fighting by itself for a long time. Thank you, SOPHIA.)”

Blaster Master Zero 2

Following the events of Blaster Master Zero, it is revealed that the Mutant Core left behind a series of mutant cells within Eve's body. She began to rapidly mutate on the right side of her body, growing an elongated arm, one of her eyes being visibly corrupted, and a number of blue-tinted infections visibly grew across her body. Jason searched the underground for a cure, to the point where Sophia Zero and his Blaster Rifle were breaking faster than Eve could fix them, but there were no leads to be found.

Jason concluded that if a cure did not exist on Earth, it might exist on another planet. More specifically the planet Sophia, where Eve and the SOPHIA MAs originated. From the remains of Sophia Zero (and thanks to an unspecified accident), the two created Gaia-SOPHIA, the first Earth-built MA, capable of theoretically unlimited space travel thanks to its Gaia System.

As the crew lands on Planet Flosante, G-SOPHIA's Hover module suffers a critical failure, forcing the crew to scour the planet for parts to repair it. After dispatching several mutants, they finally fix the module and can move on to the next planet. Throughout the exploration, Eve consistenly displays trouble staying conscious, as even with G-SOPHIA's energy and life support, she still struggles to keep the mutant corruption at bay.

On Planet Montoj, Eve and Jason would meet another Metal Attacker pilot, Gonbei. After the two fight, Tae and Eve would interrupt, making Gonbei realize the whole ordeal was a misunderstanding. Tae and Gonbei would mention that their MA, Kuebiko, was heavily damaged. Eve would offer their resources to Tae's delight, but could not directly assist due to her circumstances. Eve and Jason would assist Gonbei and Tae with Zavira, Gathervira, and their requests before moving on.

Approaching Immigration Ship L-229, Eve spends most of the journey unconscious. Jason comes to realize he needs an extra power source for G-SOPHIA, as all the sub-weapons and modules, while necessary for exploration and combat, leave less energy to allocate for Eve's life support. Eventually, Jason would manage to obtain the Burn Spark which would allow Eve to properly come back online. By the time she did, Eve was in time to see Jason battling against the mutant-controlled Defend Them All.

On Planet Stranga, Eve would mention feeling unwell, possibly due to the weird electromagnetic fields on the planet. Jason and Fred seemingly display no symptoms. Eventually they would meet Kanna and Kenwood, the pilot and support droid of the MA Eir, with the former attacking them almost immediately after introductions. Following the fight, Kanna would force them to retrieve three fruits to get the Access Key to the next dimensional tunnel. When they returned, Kanna would admit she didn't actually know where the Access Key was, but used the fruits and a flower attached to her head to create a potion for Eve to feel better. After the defeat of Cerbeboss, the two would assist Kanna again by retrieving a certain plant for her that apparently shot off into space.

In Area D, G-SOPHIA would be attacked by the Garuda and its pilot Leibniz. Leibniz mocks Jason for keeping a "broken doll" like Eve around, angering him and leading to a battle. Following the attack, Jason and Eve would flee to safety. After reaching orbit, Eve would reveal that, as the support droid of the G-SOPHIA, if Jason had attacked someone like Leibniz did, she would be programmed to deactivate or even self-destruct the MA as MA's are not supposed to fight one another. She wondered why the Garuda's support droid would fail to stop the attack, with Jason wondering if it even had one. Later, while on foot, Jason would face Leibniz alone. After Leibniz falls, he seemingly became despondent over the fact that Jason wouldn't throw Eve away, with Jason noting it being as if Leibniz wasn't actually talking to him.

On Planet Divido, Eve and Jason would meet Tesset who, at the time, was separated from her Metal Attacker Atom and her partner Stein. After their conversation, Tesset would become separated from the two by the powerful dimensional rifts on the planet. After Jason and Eve made their way across Area-D to Divido's other side, they would encounter Stein, however Eve quickly realized his communication system wasn't active, and Eve set about manually activating it while Jason fought Atom. After Eve succeeded in activating the communications, Stein would apologize for his attacks, not realizing people were aboard G-Sophia and thinking it was a Mutant Attacker. Eve and Jason would assist in defeating Dig-Rawler and getting Stein a booster.

After finishing their work on Divido, the two would make their way to Area G, where they are once again accosted by Leibniz. He would continue insulting Eve, and learning of Jason's work across the universe, mocks him for coming to "save" Area G. After a brutal clash both in MAs and on foot, Leibniz would mock Jason, telling him it would be better for him to take what Jason holds dear before Planade-G does, just as it took everything from him.

WARNING The Hostility Of CLASSIFIED INFORMATION This article contains spoilers for the endgame of Blaster Master Zero 2.

Jason and Sophia would land on Planade-G, but Eve would quickly warn Jason that, should they destroy Planade-G, the energy stored inside would tear the universe asunder. Jason would use the Gaia System to drain Planade-G of energy, ultimately defeating it, but they would be caught in the resulting surge from its death.

Bad Ending

Should the player not have collected the three Emblems, then Eve, Jason, and Fred would become separated in Area Ω. Eve would realize she failed to help Jason, and simply stood back as he handled all the hard parts. She thinks back to the other MA pilots and their partners, and wonders if they had something the G-SOPHIA crew were lacking. With her corruption spreading without G-SOPHIA's energy, Eve would call to Jason one last time as her consciousness fades.

True Ending

Should the player have collected the Emblems, Eve would lay in Area Ω, thinking about how she always leaned on Jason for everything. After a few moments, she would come to the realization that Jason may be in trouble, and she needed to go to his aid and save him. She would rise, surprising even herself with her energy and determination. Traversing Area Omega on foot, Eve could even use her I-HIX to fight mutants using some sort of "purification energy".

After a battle with another Dig-Rawler, Eve would find the broken pieces of a Blaster Rifle. Her mind immediately goes to the worst-case scenario before she realizes that it's a different model from Jason's. A few areas later, Eve encounters Leibniz and Garuda, with the former ready to scrap Eve, alone and without an MA. Suddenly, Eve notices something further ahead, revealing a girl and another MA. The girl introduces herself as Elfie, a support droid. She explains that while fighting alongside her pilot Roddie, they were sucked into Area Omega. They bumped into the Mutant Cocoon, a beast said to be even stronger than an Overlord, which damaged the MA and separated the crew, leaving Elfie to fix things by herself. She asks if they've seen Roddy somewhere, but verges on tears when she recognizes the broken Blaster Rifle Eve holds as his. Leibniz begins to panic, demanding that Elfie stop mourning since she and Eve are just supposed to be "dolls". Elfie's response on how sad he himself must feel cuts deep, and he begins to go into hysterics. Elfie simply responds that her spirit is all that remains, since her injuries from the Mutant Cocoon became fatal after she tried working on her MA. Leibniz is shocked until he receives a report from Garuda that Elfie has no readings, nothing resembling a sign of life. She is, for all intents and purposes, a lingering spirit, and proof that even support droids have souls. In deep thought, Leibniz reveals the purpose of the Emblems to Eve. They are actually "All-Purpose Interplanetary Markers", capable of opening a wormhole to the corresponding MA from anywhere in the universe. He tells her not to lose them until she finds Jason again, then leaves claiming he has some business to attend to. As Garuda flies away, Elfie invites Eve to pilot her MA, since she cannot do so as a spirit. As Elfie fades away, she leaves the words "May 'bravery' guide you-" as Eve boards the MA, now named Andreia.

Traveling in Andreia, Eve finds Fred, collapsed but still alive. As the G-SOPHIA's support lifeform, Fred has an innate sense of where it is at all times, allowing Eve to find it.

Eve finds Jason and G-SOPHIA, turned into stone in front of the Mutant Cocoon Drolrevo. Fearing the worst has come to pass, she's relieved to find there's still a faint vital sign coming from Jason. Eve battles Drolrevo, but cannot keep up with the mutant's regeneration. In theory, Andreia's Acceleration Blast could damage it enough to slow its healing, but it's been locked due to previous damage and firing it now would destroy the MA, assuming Drolrevo even gave Eve an opportunity to charge it. Just as all seems hopeless, a transmission comes in from the other MA pilots. Apparently, Leibniz stopped by each of their planets to tell them that the G-SOPHIA crew needed their help, and they're on their way. Sensing an opportunity, Eve continues to fight to try and damage Drolrevo a bit more. As the MAs Kuebiko, Eir, and Atom come barreling through wormholes, Eve overrides the safety on the Acceleration Blast. While she regrets destroying Andreia like this, Elfie's spirit whispers in her ear, reassuring that their memory will live on in Eve. As the MAs distracted the Mutant Cocoon, Eve charges Andreia's Acceleration Blast, enhanced with her own purification energy. The resulting blast rips Drolrevo's exterior and miraculously frees Jason and G-SOPHIA. The battle is not yet finished however, as the Cocoon breaks to reveal Drolrevo Mastro, the Mutant Cocoon's true form. Unfortunately, the Acceleration Blast has all but wrecked Andreia, and Eve is left no recourse but to pray for Jason's success.

Triumphing against Drolrevo Mastro, the G-SOPHIA crew finally reunites. They thank the MA pilots and their crews as they all return to real space, where the G-SOPHIA crew gaze upon planet Sophia. Jason and Eve reminesce on their journey, and remark on how they've already accomplished their goal, since it seems Eve's purification-boosted Accel Blast also removed her mutant corruption. Just before the credits begin to roll, Eve begins to say, "Jason, there's something I want to tell you..."

Other Appearances

Worlds of Power: Blaster Master

Eve makes her debut as an original character in the Blaster Master novelization. She first appears in the deep pit that Jason jumps down while chasing after his frog, Fred. She accompanies him throughout the first part of the quest, but ends up being captured by the Plutonium Boss. Eve gives him the Gun, shows him how to pilot the Sophia 3rd, and generally educates him about the Plutonium Boss's plans.

Eve is the closest English equivalent to her true name, which is Yvtrkijz. Hailing from another planet, known as Signar-el, Eve has a poor grasp of English and its linguistic subtleties, as seen with her struggle in understanding various slang phrases. Well-trained by her father, a leading "astroscientist," she is the youngest winner of the Red Nova Science award for her theories on intergalactic life forms. Her studies in this field led to her discovery of Earth. It was here that the Plutonium Boss made itself known; listening in on her transmissions to Signar-el, it realized it had found a new source of plutonium, and fried Signar-el in a catastrophic flash of nuclear power. Eve, knowing that she had inadvertently led the Plutonium Boss to another defenseless planet, followed it to Earth and had planned to take it on herself with Sophia 3rd, when Alex and Jason showed up.

Eve is a serious, straight-forward person who expects others to be observant to their surroundings to catch on quick. She's bluntly honest, and absolutely driven to defeat the Plutonium Boss. Physically, she has long red hair and freckles, appearing like a typical American teenager.

Blaster Master: Blasting Again

Eve pictured alongside an older Jason in Blasting Again’s instruction manual. The game marks both the first time the Japanese games recognized the American Blaster Master lore, and her first physical depiction.

Eve is the wife of Jason and mother of Roddy and Elfie. She does not make a physical appearance here, only a spiritual appearance, having died of an unknown illness 5 years before the events of the game. After Elfie is kidnapped by Kaiser, Eve replaces her as Roddy's spotter. When Kaiser is defeated, Eve's spirit ascends into the sky, proclaiming that she can finally be with Jason, implying that her spirit had been on Earth since her death.

Trivia

• Eve does not have an official surname. However, since Blaster Master Zero indicates that her parents are Kane and Jennifer Gardner, her full name is presumably Eve Gardner.
• Eve is implied to be poor at cooking. During a conversation with Jason regarding the Gaia System's creation, she describes the preceding accident as "just like when I mess up a recipe in the kitchen!", to Jason's (internal) consternation.
  • Even before Blaster Master Zero 2, this is implied via the official artwork made to celebrate 100,000 downloads of Blaster Master Zero, showcasing life with the Sophia crew. One panel shows Eve attempting to add a box of radioactive material (which incidentally looks like the one that mutates Fred in the original Blaster Master) to a pot, but is stopped by a VERY panicky Jason.
