Amelia Garbur is a character in Transistor. She is a reporter whose posts appear on OVC Terminals.
Role[]
Associate Editor Amelia Garbur is a reporter who posts periodic news articles throughout the destruction of Cloudbank by the the Process. Subjects of her posts, which are available on various OVC Terminals, include details on missing persons investigations, relocation efforts as the Process spreads through Cloudbank, and a heavily-attended public vigil held in honor of Red.
Garbur's last post describes the experience of standing shoulder-to-shoulder with the rest of her community at the eastern perimeter of the city as the destruction draws closer. Refusing to leave despite imminent death, she declares herself at peace and bids Cloudbank an emotional farewell.

Trivia[]
- Garbur is not associated with any function or limiter and the only information available about her is in the contents of her news posts. As she was never taken into the Transistor, no other part of her survived the Process.
- As Red approaches the terminal in the Empty Set box-office upon which Garbur's last post becomes available, the terminal's text reads "Author: At Risk," which quickly changes to "Author: Being Processed" and then to "Author: Deceased."
