If you’ve been watching ‘Star Trek: Discovery’ you’ve probably noticed a character that looks robotic in the background on the bridge. A bit of digging on the internet reveals her name to be Airiam, but not much else. Now showrunner Gretchen Berg has given a bit more detail about the character. Clarifying that she is an augmented human, not a robot, Berg went on to say:
“There was a sketch. I remember for Episode 3, because you [Page] had done a lot of concept sketches of different creatures, of different augmented humans, and I remember at one point, like, Akiva Goldsman, who’s an amazing executive producer on the show and was directing Episode 3, ran through the office at one point and was like, ‘I want Plate Face, I call Plate Face!”
Hopefully, at some point, we’ll see more of what this ‘augmented human’ can do.
