Dr. Val Desanka

Under no authorization from Altertechnologies, Desanka orchestrated the 1984 detonation in Arcan Town's Major Mine; contaminating and ultimately cutting the town off from its primary resource source. Unconfirmed death count: 12. Determined to have encountered Influence Of The Rift [Status 4]. Discharged in 1985, undergoing psychological evaluation and 2 year house arrest.

Zealous in her scientific work, and with prior military experience, Desanka was an asset during surveys; if obstinate in nature. Recovered 14 year old Kaede Tereda and assisted in her reintegration, cumulating in her adoption into the Val family. Died of an overdose.
