FORGE
Engineer
Engineer. Expert in mechanics, chemistry, and applied sciences. She built a crystal-powered mechanical dog. It was not approved. It is hers.
Physical Profile
Large, powerfully built female. Near-red hair, Northern European appearance. Physical presence consistent with extended hands-on technical work. Carries tools as standard regardless of environment — noted across multiple prior service observations.
Service Record
Expert in mechanical engineering, applied chemistry, and structural fabrication. Service history spans USP technical corps and prior independent contract work.
Prior independent contract work details:
Selected for Athena deployment: engineering profile, FORGE variant suit compatibility, and documented experience with crystal-powered systems — assessed as directly relevant to the mission environment.
Unauthorised Equipment
Prior to departure, subject constructed an autonomous crystal-powered quadrupedal unit of her own design and brought it aboard. It was not approved. It does not appear in the equipment manifest. It was identified on inspection. It was not removed.
The FORGE variant suit was modified post-manufacture to accommodate it. The modification is functional. The matter is closed on record.
This unit is not listed in any official manifest. It is on the deployment.
Psychological Assessment
Direct. Technical. Dry humour under pressure. Warm to trusted personnel, openly hostile to administrative authority. Does not perform either.
Follows orders when she agrees with them. States her objection before complying when she does not. This is on record. It is also, in part, why she was selected — the Athena deployment requires an operator who identifies problems before they become casualties.
Full psychological evaluation:
Equipment Issued
Praetorian MK1 — FORGE Variant. Field fabrication, structural repair, crystal tool integration. Built around the operator. The operator had corrections during the build process. Those corrections are reflected in the final configuration.

The crystal-powered quadrupedal unit was flagged by two separate inspection officers. Both recommended removal. The decision to retain it on the deployment was made above the level of either officer. The reasoning is not documented at any accessible clearance level. FORGE does not know this. She believes the fight to keep it was hers alone.
