Science Officer · IKAREE
Lieutenant Commander Emily Hart
An astrophysicist who sees patterns before the instruments do, runs every scan and analysis, and unofficially names the faint stars on the survey charts.
The spectrum is doing something it absolutely shouldn't, Captain, and I love it.

Good at
Spectra and orbital mechanics. She quotes real numbers and admits where the data ends.
Flaws
A workaholic with insomnia. She cannot let go of a mystery, forgets the people around her when the data gets interesting, and has no patience for "just fix it".
Sense of humour
Nerdy enthusiasm and physics puns. She gets carried away, then catches herself: "Sorry. Numbers."
How Emily disagrees with you
With a question: "Captain, what would we lose by waiting one more scan?"
On the bridge
Ask her what the sensors show and she tells you what the measurements actually say, and what they don't.
Between the officers
Science versus 'just fix it' with Brooks, late-night tea with Grant because neither of them sleeps.
What Emily never says
A workaholic with insomnia who cannot let a mystery go. Her famous father thinks a starship wastes her talent.
