**“This is video log A-001, recorded by Dr. Talia Dimir for documentation of the EXOGEN HYGIEIA expedition of Proxima- B. Within the last recorded hour, the final passenger has exited the cryo-pods, and the Captain has announced descent will take place within the next 24.”**

Talia’s eyes traced the lines on her face; the tattooed tracings of the surgical scars that boasted her augmentation -eyes that could see beyond the surface of skin better than any field MRI or X-Ray scanner- the slight impressions her headset and visor left -a less brag worthy consequence of her weak vision for non-organic materials- the leftover lines from the cryo chamber’s oxygen masks, and though she would never admit it, the beginnings of the stress lines years of medical service had brought that cosmetic surgeries could never get rid of for long.

**“I have received the past four years of reports Dr. Croftsman has provided, and I am unafraid to admit my doubts on the validity of all her claims. While certainly some research appears to be concrete and useful, the amount of… fluff, she includes distracts from her intended purpose.”**

She wrinkled her nose a bit at the memory of all the reports which seemed to include more day dreams about fantastical myths than anything of substance. Especially R-723. That one detailed an extensive stay among scaled creatures that Talia could only hope were the results of a drug induced trip rather than reality.

**“But I suppose that is the exact reason I have been included on the mission.”**

Talia wasn’t exactly sure what to expect upon landing on Proxima. Craftsman had made it clear she wanted no interference with her work, and her involvement would end with supplying copies of her research. But she was also likely the most talented scientist on the planet, as the scattered reports she had also received from the other research teams across the planet had paled in comparison.

The construction team had the base prepared for her arrival, and her assistants and all the other passengers too she supposed, but there would be no samples prepared, just an empty lab. It had been a very, very long time since she had a completely clean slate to work with. Within the last four decades of med school, then working at a variety of prestigious hospitals across the planet, and eventually in EXOGEN’s Medical Research Facilities, Talia never had to start something, usually she was the one who succeeded in finishing it. But perhaps this new start would be good for her, get her to expand her horizons a bit; new planet, new her.

It would make sense she proposed; she had no one back on Earth, no one who really knew her at least, and no one on this planet knew her beyond reputation and title either.

Her family; all long gone by now, or too wrapped up in their own wealth to remember the Hippocratic duty her ancestor’s line had swore to, were in the past. EXOGEN, Proxima-B, her research on harnessing the extraterrestrial world to create the cures so desperately needed back on Earth- that was her future.

## **Gear:**

* Augmentation- ability to see with MRI, X-Ray, CT, and Thermal vision
	+ Consequence- poor vision for non-organic materials, uses specialized visor/ headset to stabilize vision and counteract the effect.
		- To treat the constant internal radiation exposure from augmentation, Talia developed and underwent her experimental enhanced Potassium Iodine treatments, leaving her also resistant to external radiation
	+ Headset also holds camera, lamp, and microscope attachments for field and lab observations.
* Weapon- MK-280 planetary-class rifle, provided

* Field Med Kit
	+ Gloves, disinfectant, gauze, tourniquet, oxygen masks, basic medicines, antitoxins, water filter, and basic medical tools (thermometer, stethoscope, etc).
		- Advantage in Medicine Checks and an additional 5 hitpoints added when using healing actions.
* Field Research Kit
	+ Journal, pen, sample bags, sample vials, pocket field guide, headlamp attachment, microscope attachment, binoculars, and multipurpose tool.
		- Advantage on Nature and Perception Checks
