Kristiina Law

Kristiina Law was born in Cappadocia North on Cubeo III in 3266 (41 years old in 3307). She has a stoic disposition. She falls neatly into the attitude of a standard Imperial citizen. She stays out of news and politics, instead devoting her life entirely to her work; from which she gains a great amount of fulfillment. She often comes across as brash or rude, due to a lack of social skills. She is much more comfortable in a work environment than in a personal one.

Family

She has an older sister, a brother in law, and a nephew who live in Capital City, though her parents still live in Cappadocia North.

Education

Kristiina was educated at Emerald University, receiving her degree in geology. Though she does not hold formal degrees in xenobiology or archaeology, she is also competent in these areas, having spent several years as part of a combined research team studying old human civilizations on a variety of earthlike worlds.

Wellspring Philanthropic

Kristiina Law was one of the founding members of Wellspring Philanthropic. She joined the organization at its founding on 05-15-3307, and remained employed with the organization for slightly over seven months, resigning on 12/19/2021 in order to work for CMDR Nick Marick, who offered her a signing bonus of 50,000cr.

As head scientist for Wellspring, Kristiina oversaw several projects for the charity, including water reclamation projects on several drought stressed worlds. Her final mission was on Beta Octantis 3, a ringed earth-like world in the Beta Octantis system. She was part of an investigatory team sent to the planet by Wellspring as part of a collaboration with the conservationist Jason Minnow. Minnow believed that the initial surveys of the planet were incorrect, and there was large scale life already living on the planet beneath its surface.

The expedition went horribly wrong when the team's ship was attacked by a large burrowing creature described by Kristiina as a "large badger-like creature the size of an elephant." The creature destroyed the team's ship, and in the process killed all the research team expect Kristiina. She survived because she had been outside the ship at the time of the attack, taking mineral samples.

Rescue from Beta Octantis 3 and meeting CMDR Nick Marick

On 11-29-3307, CMDR Nick Marick recieved a crude distress call created by Kristiina from salvaged parts. He found her refuge site and rescued her from the planet after she had been stranded there for 49 days. A rescue team had not been sent, because the original mission was meant to last for three months, and the attack happened only a few days into the mission (Open in Discord Desktop App / Browser ). At the time of her rescue she was suffering from malnutrition, two broken ribs, and a punctured lung. After a few days in the hospital she made a full recovery.

Nick Marick brought her back to Cubeo after rescuing her, and took an interest in her. He offered her a 50,000cr signing bonus to join him as an assistant. She agreed to this, and resigned from her position at Wellspring in order to join Nick on an expedition ([[discord|https://discord.com/channels/205356098293727233/338167552028966913/922188642666029086}}).
