Biography
Shayna Strickland oversees the carrier’s Vista Genomics interface, cataloguing samples and coordinating safe handoff for biological data gathered far from regular labs. She has the patient concentration of someone who genuinely enjoys careful work.
Her background in field science makes her unusually tolerant of battered sample cases, exhausted scouts and notes written in cockpit shorthand. She can translate all three.
Among exploration crews, Strickland is known as the officer who takes strange findings seriously without ever making them sound theatrical.
