Imelda Siqueira, QA Forensic Analyst

QA Forensic Analyst
Groomed for science from a young age, Siqueira’s parents were both members of the Technocratic Union: her mother was a Scientist and her father an Extraordinary lab technician. She was raised in a series of extraterrestrial colonies, moving whenever her mother’s assignment changed. On rare occasion, her family traveled to Brazil to visit her grandmother.

At 13 years old, Siqueira’s Enlightenment was induced… maybe. The event occurred during her mother’s experiment intended to induce Enlightenment; the results were never reliably duplicated. She then spent the next four years in accelerated studies and was deployed to Earth at age 18. College was a cover story as she worked in the labs shadowing the Human Genome Project.

Siqueira lost contact with her parents when the Dimensional Anomaly cut off their Deep Universe colony; she’s since convinced herself that they must be dead. It was the only way to proceed with her life, rather than pine for their return. She poured herself into her work, explicating and elaborating on the human genome.

So it was somewhat appropriate that Quality Assurance approached her because they required her DNA. One of her mother’s old projects had gone rogue, terrorizing the Argentine pampas. Siqueira keyed off the DNA she shared with her mother to convince the beast that she was its creator, and peacefully brought it into Union custody. After that assignment, Siqueira stayed on with the amalgam and has served as its forensics analyst since.

Image: Lost somewhere in her thirties, Siqueira is a plump Brazilian woman with a permanently hurried air about her. Her long black hair is pulled back into a single ponytail. She favors simple, solid-color shirts and trim slacks, over which she throws a quilted silver jacket with a high collar. When on the job, she carries a “suitcase lab” for gathering and processing evidence and a high-resolution camera often swings from her neck.

Roleplaying Hints: You’re kind of a grunt doing scut work, but it’s important scut work, and you’re part of something much bigger than yourself. Your job is to track down incredibly dangerous experiments gone awry and keep them contained so they don’t hurt anybody, and it’s hard to argue with the value in that. So you hurry and you do your best, hoping against hope that you find the answers before the answers find you.
