Katyusha Chaykovsky

À cet instant, Katyusha savait qu'elle avait fait une erreur. Elle se battait mentalement pour avoir oublié que le pilote automatique ne fonctionne pas avec la trajectoire de rentrée.. jamais. Son esprit voulait qu'elle bouge pour prendre le contrôle manuel de l'embarcation, mais son corps était gelé dans la peur. Elle n'était pas habituée à des situations de haute pression comme celle-ci, surtout quand elle était hors de son champ. C'est pour ça qu'elle n'était pas une ingénieure de combat. Elle a entendu Xi appeler le protocole d'urgence, ce que l'AI a heureusement reconnu. De tels mots seraient sortis de sa bouche si elle n'avait pas été en état de choc. L'ingénieur a fermé les yeux quand l'IA a annoncé « Brace for Impact ».
La nacelle a finalement atterri après ce qui semblait être une éternité de chute. Soudain tout s'est arrêté.
"Icare I. Life Pod a réussi un atterrissage dans un état critique. Les scanners montrent un système météorologique à venir de vents à grande vitesse, de particules de sable denses, et.. bzzz.. ichzz." L'IA a coupé.. Elle s'est retournée voir Xi éjecter l'unité de l'IA. Elle a rapidement relâché ses propres contraintes en courant après tout le monde. Elle s'empresse de taper la petite console de son poignet, donnant vie à son drone, Dimitri. L'arpenteur de 3 pieds a rampé après qu'il soit propriétaire.
À leur arrivée dans la colonie, elle s'arrêta derrière les autres, qui furent accueillis par un autre groupe de survivants. Kat s'est tenu en silence alors que les deux «chefs» se parlaient de la situation. Ses yeux erraient autour de l'endroit pendant qu'ils parlaient, son esprit s'éloignait d'un autre endroit alors qu'elle pensait à ce qui pouvait être dans cette colonie abandonnée. Elle est revenue à la réalité alors qu'on s'adressait à elle, "I-C'est Katyusha. Katyusha Chaykovsky. Et je serais heureux de jeter un coup d'oeil." Elle a étranglé légèrement, se demandant si son nom de famille signifiait quelque chose pour les gens ici. Elle ne savait pas vraiment comment les Azaali connaissaient son nom, puisqu'elle ne s'était pas présentée à l'avance, mais les extraterrestres travaillaient de façon mystérieuse.
Elle a fait un clin d'œil rapide à Xi avant de se hâter vers le Power Core; les jambes de Dimitri s'accroupissent alors qu'il suivait de près derrière.
Katyusha Chaykovsky







Age
24
Species
Human
Profession
Engineer/Surveyor
Personality
Katyusha is an intelligent, pragmatic, diligent worker. Dedicated to her profession, Katyusha is less sociable compared to most. This is not to say that she's anti-social or aggressive toward others, she just simply doesn't know how to communicate with them through regular conversation or small talk. If someone was to talk to her about machines and whatever she's working on, Kat will be talking for at least an hour. She doesn't pick up on social cues and is generally quite dense when it comes to such things. She has an easier time talking to her machines than she does talking to people.
Biography
Katyusha lives and breathes engineering. Her parents were engineers, their parents were engineers.. you get the idea. Her family had generations of engineering plastered all over their name. Her homeworld, Olympus III is known for it's exploits in the field of mechanics purely because of her family. As a child, Katyusha was already being trained to become an engineer. Rigorous mathematical tutoring and constant mechanics workshops were what filled her daily schedule. Because of this, Katyusha never really made friends with anyone her age. Most, if not all, her acquaintances were adults who were around her parents ages. The young Chaykovsky heiress had an enormous weight of her shoulders. To succeed her family's legacy and continue it for the rest of her life.. Not that it bothered her, she quite liked engineering anyway.
She was also interested in Geology. Studying the various minerals and compounds that made up the crust and inner most layers of known planets. While her destiny was to become an Engineer, she also wanted to use her knowledge of various materials to create more innovative machinery, which her parents were very impressed with. Dimitri, the Surveyor drone, was Katyusha's first solo project. Although many surveyor drones had been made in the past, Katyusha was determined to create an even better one. Smarter, stronger, versatile. As with any project, she had to push passed failure after failure, but soon enough her galactic partner in crime was created.
When Katyusha became independent of her parents, she was stationed at Faren V to assist in their engineering exploits. This was normal for the Chaykovsky family as her extended family was also spread across the systems, furthering technology for everyone.
Equipment


Katyusha's weapon is a plasma pistol that doubles as a multi-tool.



Dimitri is a 3ft tall Surveyor drone which was constructed by Katyusha. This autonomous drone possess Katyusha's Matter Manipulator and can use it to greater effect due to it's upgrades. Dimitri's sharp legs allow it to move through almost any terrain, as well as operating as digging tools to break the surface. Dimitri also has a complex learning AI that slowly learns how to socialize through social interaction, although it doesn't really learn much from Katyusha because she's.. mostly awkward.

Relationships
Katyusha is quite close to her family, but not close enough to have a need for constant contact. She can go for months without sending a single message to them, however she does enjoy sending them funny pictures of things. She doesn't really have any relationships outside of familial ones.
Other

The Chaykovsky family is seen as more of a guild or clan, even though it only consists of Katyusha's huge extended family. Aunts, uncles, cousins, etc.
Katyusha has a deep love for Orchestral music.
She wants to turn Dimitri into a massive excavator some time, because it'd be amusing.
