Stephanie Burns
Stephanie Burns is Eric Burns' wife who wore a trademark blue hat. The newlywed couple were travelling on the RMS Titanic as part of their honeymoon.
Stephanie became upset at her husband for spending more time with his camera and his photographs than with her. A non-crucial part of the mission gives you the option to explore their cabin, when Eric goes looking for Stephanie. For that, you first have to talk to Eric when he relays how his wife being a bother to him. He asks Carlson to find her, after which the player has to go directly forward to the larger Grand Staircase, where she is standing near a sofa and plant. Clicking on her will ensure Carlson to be able to tell Eric that he has found her. Eric will dash off, following Frank Carlson's good advice to tell her how much he cares about her and leaves his cabin unlocked for a while, enabling Carlson to get in and have a look at his darkroom, where he can develop some photos showing Colonel Zeitel, Sasha Barbicon with a crucial package, Willi von Haderlitz and Claris Limehouse.
After the ship hits the iceberg, she goes to the Boat Deck, but her husband is nowhere to be seen.
Stephanie cannot be interacted with by the player other than clicking on her. You can only hear her voice when you visit the Burns' state room in the later stage of the mission, when Eric has new photos to show you. As Eric speaks outside his cabin, Stephanie will start calling her bidie-in from the room and demand his presence, or requests him to return to bed, which prompts the mildly impatient Eric to give up and say goodbye to Carlson, retreating.
