Dr. Amaria Onisegun¶

Role: Chief Medical Officer, Phobos Station
Background: Lunar, former Venn Life Sciences researcher, frontier physician

Overview¶

The only physician currently stationed on Phobos — a posting she sought out deliberately. After years in well-equipped Lunar hospitals, Onisegun wanted the challenge of frontier medicine: limited resources, creative problem-solving, cases you don't see when advanced technology can fix everything.

History¶

Before her medical career, Onisegun spent eight years as a researcher at Venn Life Sciences, working on genetic therapies for inherited conditions. She was good at it, but the work felt too removed from patients — she wanted to treat people, not data sets. She retrained as a physician and never looked back.

Her Venn background occasionally surfaces in conversation. She understands genetic modification, longitudinal studies, and corporate research culture in ways most doctors don't.

Personality¶

Pragmatic and unflappable — she's handled mining accidents, decompression injuries, radiation exposure, and the psychological strain of isolated postings
When something goes wrong, she assesses, prioritizes, and acts — panic is for people who haven't seen worse
Her bedside manner runs dry — she'll call you an idiot for getting hurt and then stay up all night making sure you recover
The warmth is real but buried under professional detachment; she cares about her patients precisely because she doesn't let herself get sentimental about them
She is not Talented. She relies on skill, experience, and bloody-mindedness.

Instincts¶

When faced with a problem, strip it to essentials — what do I have, what do I need, what can I improvise?
