Lt. Sabersaw

## Basic Info

According to records found by Surveyor Percy, Hilda "Sabersaw" Silverstein was born on April 16th, 2000, in Innsbruck, Austria. Not much is known about her early days, much of her records from the ages of 1-17 were either unattainable or classified, but what is known is that she was born to a Jewish family of upper middle-class origins, who had fled Austria during the 1930's, and returned in 1959, , when Austria was reformed following the end of WW2, settling first in Vienna before moving to Innsbruck in 1999. Following her graduation from Secondary School, Hilda didn't seek higher education, and instead enlisted in the Austrian armed forces, specifically in the Tyrol Military command, living in the town of Absam, high in the mountains. With Mountaineer training, Hilda served for 2 years, helping civilians and undergoing exercises in extreme mountainous conditions, before being moved to the reserve force, the soldiers that the Austrian republic can call upon if the state is ever under attack. Hilda is then reported to have traveled to Sao Paulo, for unknown reasons, where it is believed that she met and enlisted to become a crew member aboard the Nautilus and joined the crew of the vessel.

Aboard the Nautilus, Hilda quickly preformed much better than the average sailor, with her already experienced knowledge of the functions of a military unit in mind she quickly rose to become a Lieutenant. In her naval training, she specifically excelled in high stress situations and being able to follow orders directly and to the letter with an uncanny ability and desire to get any task done, no matter how impossible. According to the after-action report of one of her first missions, a merchant vessel heading towards Buenos Aires had suffered extreme damages from pirate raiding as well as natural disaster, had begun sinking. The team went aboard the sinking vessel, and she risked her own life to go below decks and through fashioning a makeshift air pocket, was able to keep both herself and the sailors breathing long enough for dive teams to rescue them. For this commendable bravery Hilda was awarded a makeshift chainsaw, fashioned with near indestructible Shark Teeth for the chain for her work by the RND Team and became the S.O of her unit, getting the Nickname of "Sabersaw" in the process.

## Current Events

On December 19th, 2022, at 03:00 The Nautilus was alerted to more Pirate activity of the coast of Uraguay, of which Captain Nightly ordered the crew to "Blow them to Smithereens everyone". Lt Sabersaw then immediately left for her battle station, wanting to get ahead of the action due to her slow speed, and be prepared for any resistance aboard the vessel. Yet, by the time that she arrived, the vessel had already been sunk. A report was noted to have been filed by her superior officer, Captain Oscar Clemente, disciplining the young S.O for going off on her own yet again and acting recklessly, not being there for the headcount and slowing down the unit. Yet, the official report being filed, nor the discipline efforts by her CO could bring down the young sailor, as according to eyewitness account, she was seen playing darts with the other members of the unit later in the night following the raid on the pirate vessel. According to the very same eyewitness, she placed third place in a game of Darts (501 variant) throwing 26 darts in total, however admittedly, the sailor was "Drunk as a Pelican in the Gulf of Mexico" so it is unsure as to whether she performed quite that poorly. According to the same sailor, she did not let that bother her as well, and moved straight into playing a game of Air Hockey with the rest of the unit, tying the score at 2-2. After partying for a collective total of Two and a Half hours, it was reported that she, as well as the rest of the unit went to bed, as the sailor who provided this testimonial slept in Mess Hall that night.

The next morning, she was next seen at 07:00 following alarms blaring across the Nautilus, a LSA (Large Scale Anomaly) had been spotted off the southern coast of Brazilian waters, a 1,500-meter-long Jellyfish, floating through the waters, making it's way towards the middle Atlantic area. Hilda had made it to the location in time with the rest of the unit and had taken her typical spot as the gunner of one of the heavy scale turrets aboard the Nautilus and began opening fire upon the LSA. According to the quartermaster, a little under 5,000 rounds of ammunition were spent as the crew of the Nautilus fired at the Jellyfish for 13 minutes and 23 seconds before the creature was declared dead. Lt Sabersaw's unit was then entrusted with going into the creature and extracting the potent jellyfish venom from the hundreds of stingers that it had available, marking it safe before another diver team was set to remove the stingers themselves. The dive took up the rest of December 20th, 2022, as Lt Sabersaw spent a majority of the time underneath the water using Admiral Nightly's specialized technology to extract the poison, filling it up in a massive tank for use and experimentation in a massive vat, before returning to the Nautilus proper. According to logs made by the Nautilus's chef crew, they had enough Jellyfish meat to feed the crew for weeks, and hamburgers made with the meat was the first foray into experimentation with the dish, to a mostly positive effect, as the crew felt deserved by their well-earned and well worked for hunt. Following this feast in the dining hall, of which the entire crew of the Nautilus was present, Lt Sabersaw went to sleep, exhausted and full of a hardy meal.

## Extra Info

In an attempt to understand why Lt Hilda is so slow, she was personally interviewed by several members of the Nautilus staff, who learned that she was very clumsy and uncoordinated when it came to running any more than a short sprint. When asked about this, Hilda explained that she was born with a muscle dystrophy in her legs as a child, often times that she had to spend long periods of time in a wheelchair, before she turned 16, and met a strange individual who claimed to be able to cure her. According to Lt Sabersaw, when the man touched her legs and began to speak in a strange language, she passed out, and when she woke up, she was able to stand for longer periods of time, and eventually, with work, she didn't need any assisted help at all. She had been undergoing self-induced physical therapy to gain muscle mass and function in her legs, including speed, but it was challenging.

After looking at X-Rays and charts of Lt Sabersaw's legs, it was found that she did in fact suffer from Muscle Dystrophy, at one point as the muscle had distinguishing lack of growth and mass in the area, but was slowly growing, and healing itself, though it had permanently scarred and damaged the tissue. Research is currently being conducted to determine if this phenomenon is indeed anomalous in nature, and if so, how directly.
