History: Reagan was born to Randall and Tamiko Ridley, both having neglectful tendencies. Growing up, she showed great enthusiasm for conducting science experiments and building her own inventions, thanks to her father's influence, but was not a very sociable child overall. Despite her advanced intelligence and ingenuity for her age, Reagan rarely, if ever, received any sort of genuine affection or emotional support from either of her parents, Randall even being cruel enough to ridicule and mock his daughter for any failed experiments she conducted. To "accommodate" for his and his wife's lack of presence in their daughter's life, he built Bear-O, a robot companion that would hug and accompany her whenever she sought the attention of her parents all throughout elementary and middle school. Bear-O's hypervigilance and her parents' neglect ended up traumatizing Reagan so much that she would end up repressing early memories for years until they finally resurfaced in her 30s. Despite her social ineptitude, Reagan eventually met Orrin Carthwait in the 4th grade, and the two became fast friends. He was her only friend and the only person to ever take a genuine interest in her, and was even able to single-handedly make one of her birthdays a happy one. However, their friendship would unfortunately be short-lived. Randall, wanting to use Reagan as an "insurance policy" of sorts at Cognito Inc., should he be terminated for any reason in the future, used one of his inventions to wipe Reagan's memory clean of Orrin ever being her friend so Reagan would have no qualms with skipping the rest of elementary and middle school, having been recognized as a prodigy by her school principal. Randall's decision would destroy any chance of Reagan both developing important social skills at an early age and living a normal life. Homecoming Young Reagan and present Brett share a tender moment together. Teenage years Once again, Reagan continues to struggle socializing with others, often being the victim of bullying and ridicule from most, if not all of her peers. On the homecoming night of her senior year in high school, Reagan remembers meeting a man named Brett for the first time (thanks to a paradox occuring in "Inside Reagan"), and he takes her to the homecoming dance. They are both ridiculed by the rest of the students there, but Reagan still appreciates Brett for just being there, and reveals she was going regardless of having a date or not, since she had actually rigged numerous buckets of fake blood to rain upon all the students present. Upon graduating high school, Reagan would shortly thereafter go to college, becoming the best of MIT and youngest graduate at the age of 13. Present day TIMECARDS While Reagan's competence and dedication to her work is noticed by J.R, he notes that her intensity and lack of social skills make her stand-offish and unfit to lead. With her father now retired from Cognito and the organization now headed by J.R. Scheimpough, Reagan now works at the company with the pretense of being his successor as the company's head roboticist and team leader. Her coworkers include half-dolphin half-human supersoldier Glenn Dolphman, biochemist Andre Lee, head of PR and Media Manipulation Gigi Thompson, and psychic mushroom Myc. As committed as Reagan is to her job, her difficulty parsing social situations has led to her being intense with coworkers. To help this, J.R. assigned the most normal-faced American man ever, Brett Hand, as her right-hand and co-leader. Reagan dismisses him at first, but after a tour of the Cognito premises she makes him the first to see her latest invention, Alpha-Beta (then named ROBOTUS), a robot copy of the president that she plans to use to replace the real one. She catches on fairly quickly during their talk that Brett offers no legitimate skills that would make him an asset to the team or the company in general, and was merely hired on a whim to accommodate for her own lack of charisma and people skills. Brett meets the rest of the team during lunch, in which everyone takes an immediate liking to him. Reagan, sitting by her lonesome, is approached by Myc, who jokingly offers to slip rat poison into Brett's next cup of coffee, an idea Reagan genuinely entertains before Myc begins to mock her for taking him seriously. Later that night, Reagan confides in Rand about the current situation, inquiring about how unlikeable he thinks she is, and Brett's arrival. Yes Man Reagan is less-than-thrilled about her new co-worker. Rand is quick to suggest that J.R. may be trying to force Reagan out of the company using Brett, but she counters claiming that once Alpha-Beta is finished and the president has been successfully swapped, J.R. will recognize that Reagan doesn't need any sort of co-leader. The next day, Reagan showcases Alpha-Beta to her team, J.R. and the Shadow Board, though concerns are expressed about the A.I. potentially going rogue, Reagan assures them the robot is "too patriotic" to rebel. The meeting is interrupted suddenly by Brett, who surprises everyone with a box of bagels. J,R, and the Shadow Board express their satisfaction with Brett, which quickly draws away any sort of attention or recognition from Reagan, deeply upsetting her. She visits Brett in his new office, and he commends her for her hard work. Reagan, unsure of how to respond, merely returns the thanks, telling him he did a good job bringing bagels for everyone, Brett reveals he's been tense since he's stepped foot into Cognito, hoping to make a good first impression. Reagan quickly begins to prey on Brett's anxiety, attempting to convince him it'd be best to leave the company while he still can. Brett dismisses the idea, preferring instead to remain positive, and stick with the job. Reagan begins to suspect that perhaps Brett is not entirely what he seems or claims to be, and decides to conduct a personal investigation on him. The next day, Reagan arrives noticeably late to work, having stood-up all night gathering "evidence" on Brett. She interrupts a meeting in which Brett was showcasing his own ideas for the company, and nicknames for his co-workers. Reagan's "evidence" turns out to be nothing but technicalities and insignificant details on Brett's previous field of work and high-school years. J.R., not seeing any of this as a reason to distrust Brett, and being overall frustrated with Reagan's current mental state, takes her off the Alpha-Beta launch and essentially firing her, telling her to take as much time as she needs to clear her head, he then puts Brett in charge of the Alpha-Beta mission launch, feeling confident that he is well-suited for the task. Hysteria Alpha-Beta's sudden betrayal causes mass panic at Cognito Inc. Reagan, dejected, goes home and watches the news that night with her dad, where she finds out Alpha-Beta has gone rogue, and is planning on placing the entirety of America into the "Americube". Rand reveals that he had actually tampered with Alpha-Beta' code, and should for any reason Reagan be removed from the company's payroll, it's inhibitor chip would deactivate. She suddenly receives a call from Brett, who reveals Alpha-Beta going rogue has caused mass hysteria within Cognito, and begs for Reagan to come back and help set things straight. The two of them make their way to New York to stop Alpha-Beta' plan, when they reach him, Reagan quickly decides that the best way to convince him to stop, is to connect him to the internet, and show him how terrible America really is. After a few brief moments of analyzing, Alpha-Beta deduces that all of humanity is horribly flawed, and the most merciful thing to do is to destroy it. He calls the Pentagon to launch the nukes, though they wait for further confirmation. He then opens a safe, containing what appears to be a metal briefcase, that actually has the controls to arm the nukes. Reagan attempts to swipe it from him, and ends up burning the side of his face with the jet fuel Brett brought, but two Secret Service agents bust through the door to protect the "President". Reagan and Brett flee from the scene, jumping through a window to do so, while Alpha-Beta kills the two Secret Service agents after his cover is blown, thanks to the left side of his face now missing due to Reagan melting it with jet fuel and escapes to the roof of the building. Reagan and Brett reveal themselves, who were actually hiding beside the window after jumping through it. Reagan picks up one of the guns dropped by the Secret Service, and attaches an improvised laser-sight onto it, realizing they have no choice but to neutralize Alpha-Beta'. They begin to chase him up the stairs, though Reagan lags behind due to her lack of stamina. Brett then carries her on his back, full-on sprinting up the stairs, revealing he is still in excellent-shape. Reagan contacts her team via her tablet, though they aren't of much help, due to all being high on "super molly". Reagan berates them for their incompetence. Brett suggests he get a turn at talking to the team, and successfully motivates them, and to follow Reagan's orders, which include "un-kidnapping the President" and a media cover-up to calm the masses. The two then catch up to Alpha-Beta, who hijacks a helicopter, taking control of it. They follow him inside, and there is a brief scuffle as the helicopter takes off. Reagan holds Alpha-Beta at gun-point, though he arrogantly believes Reagan doesn't have the heart to destroy him, her life's work, and suggests the two of them aren't so different, both deep-down being nothing but cold, heartless machines. Reagan proves him wrong but slicing him in two with her laser-sight pistol, and disarming the nukes. Reagan accepts that J.R. may have actually been right to fire her, but Brett assures her the company is entirely unable to run without her. Reagan corrects him, stating that the company can't run without the both of them, and finally accepts him as a part of the team. Reagan and Brett make their way back to Cognito to see that mass panic has been averted, as the President refers to "Americube" as an "epic troll". J.R. expresses he never doubted Reagan at all, despite firing her. In celebration, Brett offers to take everyone out for margaritas, Reagan is hesitant at first, but after noticing Rand flooding her phone with numerous messages, she eagerly accepts. Brett expresses remorse that Alpha-Beta had to be destroyed, only for it to be revealed Reagan never actually destroyed him, and is hiding him in a secret compartment within Cognito
