'''Sourcefield''' is a [[Epic#High Epics|High Epic]] killed by the [[Reckoners]] after she attacks [[Newcago]].{{book ref|firefight|3}} Prior to becoming an Epic, she is known as '''Emiline Bask'''.{{book ref|Firefight|8}}

== Appearance and Personality ==

Sourcefield is a middle-aged woman with curly brown hair.{{book ref|firefight|3}} She dresses in a black jumpsuit with a cape and sneakers and wears a mask which contains a plastic filter over her nose and mouth.{{book ref|firefight|1}}{{book ref|firefight|3}}

; Electrical Manipulation: Sourcefield has the power to manipulate electricity. This ability both protects her from weapons and allows her to fire blasts of electrical energy.{{book ref|firefight|1}}{{book ref|firefight|3}} She can also create electrical forcefields similar to [[Prof]]'s, in which she can entrap people.{{book ref|firefight|4}}

; Teleportation: Her teleportation ability is related to her electrical powers. She has the ability to transform herself into electricity and travel through substances she touches. The more conductive the substance, the farther she is able to travel through it. This is not true teleportation.{{book ref|Firefight|1}}

Sourcefield's weakness is [[wikipedia:Kool-Aid|Kool-Aid]]. While contact with Kool-Aid will dampen her powers, she needs to swallow Kool-Aid to fully disable her powers.{{book ref|firefight|3}} In her past, her grandparents tried to kill her by poisoning her with a Kool-Aid drink. This connection to her past is one of the pieces of information that leads David to a new understanding of Epic powers and weaknesses.{{book ref|firefight|26}}

When she was a young child, Emiline's grandparents poisoned her Kool-Aid while attempting to mimic a cult ritual. Emiline was able to crawl out to the street and get help from someone passing by.{{book ref|firefight|26}} She was raised by her aunt after her mother committed suicide, though how old Emiline was at the time is unknown. Later, she was employed as a hotel desk clerk. Two years after [[Calamity (Epic)|Calamity]]'s arrival, Emiline gained her powers and became known as Sourcefield. She passed some amount of time in Detroit, Madison, and Little Blackstone before allying with [[Static]] for several years.{{book ref|firefight|26}} She then ended up in [[Babilar]], where [[Regalia]] met her and sent her to [[Newcago]] as part of her plot to lure [[Prof]] over to Babilar.{{book ref|firefight|6}}{{book ref|firefight|26}}

Once in Newcago, Sourcefield immediately began killing random people while calling for the citizens to turn the [[Reckoners]] over to her.{{book ref|firefight|1}} The Reckoner team spent five days researching her and putting together a plan.{{book ref|firefight|5}} When they finally confronted Sourcefield, she trapped Prof in a bubble of electricity in such a way as to force him to use his powers to get free.{{book ref|firefight|4}} Leaving him behind, she went after the others, who were prepared with Kool-Aid in several forms.{{book ref|firefight|2}} Sourcefield chased [[David Charleston|David]] toward one of their primary trap points, but en route she electrocuted several [[Enforcement]] soldiers and forced the Reckoners to call a general retreat. David lured her into the room of the trap point, where they were close enough together that she was able to jolt him with a fair amount of electricity. He released the trap on Sourcefield, and the two of them were doused in hundreds of gallons of Kool-Aid. This weakened Sourcefield enough that David was able to tear her mask off. Kool-Aid dripped down her face and into her mouth, which finally completely negated her powers. David shot her just as she was coming out of the blind rage that using her powers had put her into.{{book ref|firefight|3}}

The look in Sourcefield's eyes just before she died haunted David for some time afterward,{{book ref|firefight|39}} but the hint about her weakness being linked to her past helped open up a new understanding of Epic weaknesses for him.{{book ref|firefight|33}} The flowers that [[Roy]] found in her pocket after her death were the final clue that led Prof to take [[Tia]] and David to Babilar; this eventually led to Regalia turning Prof.{{book ref|firefight|5}}{{book ref|firefight|50}}
