Alright, I read through most of the IC that I missed, now I need to think of what to write... it's going to be difficult to come up with an explanation for why Olorisa didn't do anything during Carter and Vrondich's fight or the incident with the psyker, since her main goal is to protect the crew...

What if the wiring that Aarla was fiddling w/ disabled Olorisa's systems and scanners inside the cryo chamber, effectively tying her hands before she grabbed Mihal?

Right now I think I'm just overthinking it and getting myself really nervous.

Just like New Udonia said!

No need to feel nervous about coming back in! If you have some thoughts or ideas feel free to put them on here and we can discuss what you think would work best for your character.

Once we move onto the next chapter I think Olorisa should be part of whatever ground misadventure we're going to be in next. Maybe we even find a better body for her.

Currently, I have two ideas for Lee to be doing something while the rescue is happening. He could sit in a chair, put on some tunes, and try to process all that has happened. It doesn't have a hook and would be mostly irrelevant, except for maybe mentioning his stuff. Or he could talk to Olorisa, but Foxfound seems to be busy. Anyone got a better idea?

I see nothing wrong with those two options.

I'd have him try to talk to Orissa first. If Foxhound can't reply, I would do the introspective to start to characterize Lee a bit. Not every scene needs to involve everyone after all.

I'm alright with whatever you guys want to do.

I guess what's happening is I keep getting more and more nervous the longer I go without making a post for you all, and that makes it harder for me to write a post, and so on. Or something.

You can make a simple reply post if that would help. Mihal has just asked her to run a scan.

Okay. I admit that before I thought to ask you, I already made the post, and posted it. Once I realized I should ask you first, I saved the draft and deleted the post.

No, it's fine.

I think I'll be able to post today anyway. Unlike the rest of the week I don't have to go anywhere.

I'd missed that, but it's fixed now. I haven't read much about the ship being detected yet, so I don't really know what details to add.

Character Description
    Name: Dr. Saessa of Anac
    Species: Kiellar
    Gender: Female
    Age: 62
    Appearance:Image


[b]Strengths and Weaknesses
    Skills:
    Intelligence - Saessa has always been praised for her smarts. Hailed as a prodigy in her youth, she is one of Command’s leading scientific minds for good reason. Although her primary field of expertise is hyperspace research, her accomplishments range from cybernetics to genetics and she doesn’t believe in limiting one’s mind to a particular discipline. Only amateurs deny the importance of a holistic approach in modern academia, anyway.
    Weaknesses:
    Civilian - Born into the upper echelons of Kiellar society, Saessa was raised in relative comfort and security. She’s never known true hardship and has never needed to fight for her survival. As a research scientist, she doesn’t know how to fight and hasn’t fired a weapon in her life outside of a range. If she was threatened with physical violence, Saessa would hardly even be able to put up a fight against a trained foe.
    Arrogant - As a Kiellar citizen, Saessa grew up being taught that she was superior to both xenos and Kiellar slaves, simply by dint of her birth. Her intelligence only exacerbated the problem, as she was constantly reminded by grades and accolades of her superiority to her peers. That’s not to say that she’s heartless or needlessly cruel, but her sense of self-importance can rub some people the wrong way.


Background:
    Role on Ship: Researcher assigned to a classified Kiellar Command mission, in transit aboard Defiance.
    Crimes Committed: n/a
    Personality:
    Backstory: Saesa is the daughter of a high ranking colonial administrator and a professor - both from established Kiellar families. She wasn’t at the very top of Command society, but she was close enough that she got to enjoy all the benefits of living within a sprawling interstellar empire that dominated its region of space. Her family owned a retinue of slaves, and Saesa was adored by her parents. With no expense spared on private tutors and her education, she was brought up with an appreciation for the sciences and a natural curiosity that bordered on an obsession. Easily skipping past the abilities of other children her age, Saesa’s parents proudly threw all the knowledge and opportunities they could at their child - a privilege which she took and ran with within Kiellar society.
    By 17, Saesa had already graduated with her first degree and managed to catch the eye of the Kiellar Research Institute - the military, and by extension the Empire’s, premier scientific body. With the offer of a position with her own academic freedom, along with a personalised course of study to further her education, Saesa was given the opportunity of a lifetime to pursue her passion. Not one to turn down a challenge, and her parents’ blessing, she moved to the Capital and soon began making a name for herself within the highly competitive program. But even at the Institute, Saesa found her classes too easy and slow for her liking - or at least she did until she landed a place in an advanced course on Hyperspace Physics. It was a whirlwind of complex maths and proofs that sought to bridge the divide between entire dimensions, and it left Saesa stunned. For the first time, the young prodigy had stumbled on something that was beyond her - and she was hooked.

    Pouring herself into the field, she dedicated her nights to grappling with the existing research. After publishing her first paper on Skrim Drive optimization left the established community speechless, her future was set. The rest - as they say - is history, and today Dr. Saesa is one of the leading experts on Hyperspace (if you ask her, she’d say that she was the best - but such a claim is hard to prove). Working for Command and the Research Institute would occasionally bring up a moral quandary or two, especially after collaborations with the military’s psyker corps, but Saesa reasoned that it was justified in the name of scientific progress and the security of the Empire. The galaxy was a dangerous place, after all, and Command had to make difficult decisions in order to keep the Kiellar safe.

    Saesa’s life was going well, until one fateful day she was visited by a Psyker Handler named Iobhal. He came with an instruction that she couldn’t ignore, with a mission that annoyingly pulled her away from her work. Even worse, the time sensitivity of the matter meant that they had to travel aboard a prison ship! But when she awoke to find that a mutiny had taken place, and that Iobhal was dead, Saesa found her entire life collapsing around her.
