Biography[]
Kay-Em 14 is the model and designation for a gynoid designed by a university student named Tsunaron. Presumably, she is the fourteenth such model developed in the Kay-Em line. Although she was a robot, Kay-Em did possess a manner of sentience in that she was self-aware, possessed a personality, and expressed desires and the capacity for human emotion. Many of Tsunaron's classmates teased the notion that he was using Kay-Em for sexual gratification. Whether this is true or not remains unknown.
In the year 2455, Kay-Em and Tsunaron were stationed aboard The Grendel as part of a scientific field trip to Old Earth. They recovered the cryogenically frozen remains of a woman named Rowan, who was still alive, and Jason Voorhees, whom they believed to be deceased.
When Jason Voorhees revived, he began slaughtering the people stationed aboard The Grendel. Tsunaron gave Kay-Em 14 what he called an "upload" (he probably meant to say "upgrade") and put her in Jason's path. Armed with twin assault rifles and enhanced physical traits, Kay-Em was able to put Jason down. Unfortunately, Jason's body interacted with the nanotechnology devices aboard the ship, transforming him into a cybernetic "Uber-Jason". Despite Kay-Em's enhanced features, she was no match for his revitalized killer. Kay-Em's head was separated from her body, but her central processors remained intact. Tsunaron recovered the head and took it with him as he escaped from The Grendel. Presumably, he provided Kay-Em with a new body at some later date.

- Kay-Em 14 is one of the few characters in the Friday the 13th mythos who can give Jason a run for his money. Other characters who have proven to go toe-to-toe with Jason include Freddy Krueger in Freddy vs. Jason and the psychokinetic Tina Shepard from Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood.
