Role in Plot
Events of Season 1
While her boss Miller was chastising her coworker Sarah for not fixing his Mongoose in Wish, Nicole chose to side with Sarah and insinuated that Miller's love for the vehicle was the reason their headquarters didn't respect him. After Sarah storms off, Nicole insults Miller by calling him 'crusty' before going after Sarah. Later, in HQ (episode), it's revealed that Nicole was convinced by Sarah to watch the Lord of the Rings film series with her as they both discuss it with Nicole's sister June Vega.
Sometime later, in Fax, she chats with Sarah while she uses the fax machine. When it breaks and Miller walks in asking about a fax from HQ, Sarah storms off as Nicole follows. As Sarah gets to the communication room and gets Geff to leave, Nicole slowly makes her way too her. Nicole then continues chatting with Sarah as the latter calls HQ requesting a fix for the busted fax machine. When the system operator tells Sarah that HQ will send a repair robot, she decides to take a rest much to Nicole's chagrin due to Nicole not wanting to talk with her sister or other coworkers. While Sarah offers Nicole to join her, she quickly backtracks and runs off to the bathroom, leaving Nicole confused.
The next day, in Machine, Geff calls out for Nicole when the repair droid sent by HQ ended up attacking Miller. Nicole ends up punching the machine continuously until it deactivated, in which Miller reluctantly thanks her. Shortly after, in Replacement, Nicole reminisces about Jace Casper's transfer with Sarah and June to Geff before Miller enters to chastise them. Nicole and Miller proceed to exchange insults to one another before Sarah then asks Miller what he's done for humanity lately after he mentions his participation in "the Invasion War". Miller then storms off, much to Nicole's delight.
