Background

Anastasya, or Stasi as her friends call her, is the Professor of XenoArcheology at Nexus Interstellar University, who because of her Commission in the ConStel Marine Reserve, keeps getting called back to active duty to help decode, research or rebuild ancient writings and machines. She was a 1st Lt. in the CSM R&D area of the force before she retired to the Reserves, so she could go into her chosen field.

She got her epithet when she was still a teenager, because of her "Times of Sparky Madness" when she designs, builds, rebuilds or just plain slaps together components for any number of scientific items of many different things. Her Jetpack is a design of her own that she sold to Sakura Aerospace as part of their bid to build it for the CSM. Hers though, has been "modified" by Stasi to have better, longer flight time, be more robust and even more compact than usual. Her other gear have been either built or "modified" by her.

Stasi doesn't mind when they call her back into active duty because it means either a new puzzle to solve or a new thing to research and build, both of which can invoke the MadGirl to emerge, but she does wish that they would give her more than 12 hours usually. Because as she puts it "It plays merry hell with one's Social Life to leave without saying goodbye."

Description

Stasi is 5' 8" tall, with a slightly curvy but very athletic build. She is fair skinned but usually is well tanned in her arms and face. Her hair is red with lighter highlights and deep blue eyes. She prefers boots and pants with a button down shirt and a leather jacket with fingerless gloves, over any kind of skirt or dress. She is currently carries messenger bag at all times with two small sets of tools. One for her Archeology and one for her Inventing and repairing kits. She carries other small items of a daily need that changes often, i.e. bottle of water, lunch, twine, etc.. There are also always 3 journals held shut with elastic bands and writing implements inside them in the bag. There is one with a black cover, one with a blue cover and one with a green cover. The green is for her xenoarcheology legends, notes, translations and maps she jots down. The black is for her ideas for inventions and modifications of current equipment she thinks of. And she has never let anyone see what is inside the blue one.
