Allison Church

"But don't say goodbye. I hate goodbyes."

- Allison

Allison is a character mentioned in Red vs. Blue Revelation, but was first referenced in Reconstruction. Little is known about her except for the fact that she was a loved one of Dr. Leonard Church who died because of her own failure. She made her first physical appearance in the Season 10 episode Remember Me How I Was.

Role in Plot
In Three's a Crowd, as Carolina begins to fight Tex after Eta and Iota are implanted into her, the Director enters the room, angered at the fight that's going on and immediately calls out "No, Allison!" after noticing Tex in the ensuing brawl. Suddenly, all of the A.I. react to this and mutter "Allison," nonstop. The Sarcophagus also begins to make growling sounds in reaction to it. This is probably due to the fact that the A.I. are fragments of the Director himself so they all could have residual memories of who Allison was and reacted in the same dismay as he did. This also brings light to the fact that Tex is a shadow of Allison so the Director could believe Tex to actually be her.

In Remember Me How I Was, Washington was implanted with the A.I. unit Epsilon. During this time, Wash began to experience memory hallucinations of Allison. This causes him to go into an extreme panic and is eventually sedated. He is then taken to Recovery afterwards.

Legacy
The memory of her death lingered on in Dr. Church's mind so much that when Alpha was created, a "shadow" of Allison was made as a by-product of the process. She was put into a robotic body and given the codename Freelancer Agent Texas, believing herself to be a real human and interacted with Alpha (who also believed himself to be a human soldier and thought Leonard Church's name his own), remembering him as her boyfriend due to Allison's relationship with Dr. Church. The failure that caused Allison's death has yet to be disclosed in the series. It is assumed that many aspects of Allison and Tex are similar, at least from the Director's point of view. It is also possible that Tex's relationship with Alpha mirrors that of Allison's and Dr. Church's.

Trivia

 * Allison is the first character in Red vs. Blue to be displayed in live action.
 * It is revealed by her uniform that Allison was a UNSC Marine, possibly explaining Tex's fighting and weapons skills.
 * It is revealed in Don't Say It that Allison was actually the mother of Carolina, making the Director, in turn, Carolina's father.
 * The video that the Director constantly watched in remorse was apparently the last he ever saw of her, implied by her comment that he would see her again.
