Shirai McElroy
Shirai McElroy, textile mechanic and pitcher for the Core Mechanics wearing a variety of homemade fabrics. Her pink hair is covered by a hard hat which resembles a sea snail shell, and she has two eyestalks with built-in lidar sensors. She has a woven smart shirt with a flexible screen controlled by a sewn-in touchpad. She also has a knitted hyperbolic scarf, a woven kumihimo bracelet, and quilted pants. The picture is animated: The shirt is changing between different colorful patterns and the text "one fear", while the squares of the pants are changing color to simulating Conway's game of life.

Box of Shirai McElroy Files

Dust billows as the file box lands on the table. While many archives in the Interdimensional Rumor Mill are unified in some way, this... definitely isn’t one of them. The accompanying Rumor Registry explains all of the contents... wherever it is... but for now you grab the folder labelled IF-97.66 and start reading...

Background

Shirai McElroy is a famously private individual, and not much is known about her personal life or history. When approached with questions about her life before joining the Mechanics, McElroy reportedly responded, "What are you, a cop?" before ziplining out of the room.
