Somers decided to send the Icarus fleet - minus the flagship, whose vines were too embedded to break free - to the black hole on which she was stranded. However, it is found that this will only delay further growth of the vines. When the Legends returned from Gaea with several Carthage spiders, Somers used their enzymes to create a serum that would help to vaccinate the populace and stop the vines. Somers, confused and distressed at the mention of her son, wondered aloud how Ash knew about her son, with Wattson suggesting the inscription on Pathfinder’s newly constructed statue. Before leaving, Ash stated that Somers was doing great work in protecting Lilian Peck’s legacy, and that her son would be proud of her. Somers was saved by Ash, who pushed her away from the falling debris. Immediately after, an earthquake struck, causing the ceiling to cave in. While conducting research with Wattson, she was approached by Ash, who forcefully requested structural engineers to secure a local Arenas site. As the epidemic continued and the Medusa vines spread, Olympus continued to suffer heavy structural damage, damaging equipment and troubling Somers, who didn’t wish to see her home destroyed even further. While some of the other Legends departed for Gaea, Somers stayed on Olympus to help mitigate the Medusa outbreak. Determined, she found several more before rerouting a phase runner to her old home, where she was met with a recording from herself in the past, revealing that her time travel research proves fruitful. One day, during a match on Olympus, Somers found an audio log from Newton. Somers met with Pathfinder during his search for his creators, discussing branthium, a crystal used as an energy source and the origins of Project: Iris. Reid based on her work with Somers, not knowing how she betrayed her. While his mother was stranded in space, Newton served as a member of Project: Iris and was one of Pathfinder’s creators. She received an offer for financial support towards this endeavour from Hammond Robotics, but she declined it, still not ready to place her trust in others. Still wishing to fulfil her promise, she decided to join the Apex Games in order to fund research into time travel so she could return to her son. As a result, Olympus was abandoned and in ruins, and Newton had passed away long ago. Despite only 246 days passing for her, 87 years had passed on Psamathe due to time dilation. However, nothing was the same when Somers returned. Somers struggled, but eventually extracted her own branthium with the help of N.E.W.T., her vacuum drone, and was able to use it to return to Psamathe. However, Reid betrayed Somers, detaching the capsule’s tether and leaving the latter stranded in the orbit of the black hole. Somers set out in a capsule to obtain a small piece of branthium, which she successfully transferred back to Reid in the main ship. He was left in the care of Peck during her journey. Before departing, Somers promised her son Newton that she would return to him. In 2646, in an attempt to save The Outlands, Somers and Reid made an expedition to a black hole to obtain the element. However, branthium could only be naturally found on the accretion disk of a black hole. Ashleigh Reid, discovered the element branthium, of which even the smallest shards could serve as an extremely potent energy source. Scrambling to find a solution, Somers and her assistant, Dr. Philanthropist Lillian Peck proposed that, due to the limited resources within The Outlands, a critical energy crisis would occur within twenty years. She obtained a doctorate degree in Astrophysics, as well as gave birth to her beloved son, Newton Somers.
Mary Somers was born in 2608 on Psamathe.
She joins the Apex Games as Horizon, master of gravity, just in time for the next season to debut on Olympus-where her old life once was and where she had promised to return.ĭr. Now Mary is determined to fund her research to find a way to go back in time and be with her son.
But time moves differently on the outskirts of a black hole, and she was 87 years too late. Using her wits, Mary modified her robotic vacuum companion N.E.W.T. Reid betrayed her, stealing the Branthium and sending her shuttle into the black hole’s orbit. Mary promised her son Newton she’d return safe and sound. Reid departed on a dangerous mission to prove her theory right. But Branthium can be found only on the accretion disk of a black hole, so Mary and Dr. Reid, Mary discovered Branthium - an element she was convinced could be the key to limitless energy. Mary moved her family to the scientific research station on Olympus and set to work. Mary Somers, a charmingly eccentric astrophysicist, was hired to find a solution.
