Ramona Tallis

Ramona Tallis is an EU scientist and scientific lead of Origin Force 4, the team tasked with the unlocking the secret contained with in the Origin Signal's fourth gift, faster than light travel.

She was instrumental in the construction of the Eon Drive, the first EU drive to obtain an FTL gradiend of 0.99, which was believed to be the maximum FTL gradient achievable.

As the primary creator of the Eon Drive she was enlisted for the first journey to the source of the Origin Signal on the EU Mallard under the command of Robert Bishop.

Personality
Tallis is generally renowned for her shyness and preference for working alone.

Physical Appearance
Tallis is an augmented human with magenta eyes. Her hair is largely pink, save for a sliver of blonde hair running down the left side of her face.

Unlike other EU science officers Tallis wears a red overcoat instead of the traditional blue, which signifies her as a leader in her field.

Biography
Tallis was born in the Slovakian Frontier, during the Foundation War between the United Eastern Union and the Earthen Union.

During the liberation of the Slovakian Frontier, her mother was arrested by EU soldiers, and she was passed into the ward ship of the EU. Her genius was evident from an early age and she was soon passed through various academy schemes and eventually qualified into the science corps of the EU.

Tallis' career focused largely around the development of sub space manipulation technology. After the EU intercepted the Origin Signal, Tallis was posted to the Eclipse Research Facility on Neptune to research the Fourth Gift. After 7 years Tallis' efforts produced the Eon Drive, which was installed on the EU Mallard. Due to her intricate knowledge of the drive manifest Tallis was posted aboard the Mallard on it's voyage to the source of the Origin Signal.

ENP
Tallis' ENP is MX-01, which bears a black faceplate and a red central eye. As Tallis stripped out the majority of the ENP's excess modules to increase its processing capacity, its communication is often intercepted as being short, cold and impersonal. Unlike other Augmented Humans, her relationship with her ENP is less personal.

Nichola Bayous
Tallis and Nichola became close during their time at the Eclipse Research Facility on Neptune, primarily due to their shared interest in astrophysics and sub-space technologies and the large amounts of time they spent working together. Tallis unexpectedly found herself able to open up to Nichola about her past. The extent of their relationship is unknown, although many members of the Eclipse team suspected a romantic relationship existed between them.
