Andromeda is one of the protagonists in Conduit 2. She meets Michael Ford in Atlantis after he awakens her from cryostasis.
Profile
After being awakened, she demands that Prometheus show himself, calling him a traitor. Andromeda later reveals to Ford that her purpose is to aid the Destroyer, who Ford has now become after acquiring the Destroyer Exoskeleton suit[1], with Prometheus later telling Ford that Andromeda knew the previous owner of the Destroyer suit.[2]
After Ford returns from Washington, D.C., Andromeda discovers the path of Adams, moving from certain Progenitor energies to another. Prometheus reveals that he fought alongside her thousands of years ago, but is reluctant to tell Ford the entire story between them. When Andromeda finally realizes Prometheus' presence inside the All-Seeing Eye, Prometheus attempts to apologize and explain himself, but never gets the chance against Andromeda's furious yelling.
All through the course of the game, Andromeda either mocks Ford or treats him with anger because of his relationship with Prometheus. When Adams manages to infiltrate Atlantis, she is rendered helpless by the blast of a grenade, but after a while she reaches the console to reprogram the main conduit so Ford can take the battle to Agartha. After the apparent death of Prometheus and the rest of the Progenitors at the end of Conduit 2, she expresses regret, saying that perhaps Prometheus' intentions were noble after all.
