Silence

Silence is an Originium researcher who works at Rhine Lab, LLC. She has been involved in various unknown applied research projects and clinical ore infection trials. Her primary role now is to provide battlefield treatment for Rhodes Island. One notable aspect of Silence's background is her race, which is predisposed to heavy sleep patterns that differ from those of other species. However, her infection has disrupted the regularity of her sleep patterns.

Silence is highly regarded as an outstanding researcher known for her meticulousness, keen eye for detail, and single-minded execution. She approaches her experiments with precision and flawlessly sees them through to completion, earning her acclaim and commendation from her peers and staff. While she excels in scientific endeavors, Silence struggles with interpersonal relationships, particularly in dealing with crowds. She tends to live up to her name, preferring to observe her surroundings in peaceful silence rather than actively engaging with others. However, she is not universally introverted and draws energy from the serenity of intense concentration.

When it comes to scientific research, Silence is patient and eager to listen to her fellow researchers. She is willing to discuss research questions from various angles and takes the time to understand obstacles before providing well-thought-out answers. However, due to her busy schedule in the laboratory, most people do not get to see this communicative side of Silence, except for a select few who participate in her research.

Silence's connection with Rhine Lab and Originium began during her student days when she accompanied her mentor to the company. She witnessed the results of Rhine Lab's research and the advancements in Originium transmission efficiency, which fascinated her. After completing her studies, Silence was granted the opportunity to join Rhine Lab and work on experimental projects related to important Originium technology and clinical treatment. Despite her successful career and recognition from higher-level company members, Silence never forgot her original dream of joining the Originium Technology and Life Science Applications project.

Silence's contributions extend beyond her research as she designed a medical drone produced by the Rhodes Island Base Construction Department. The drone, reflecting her philosophy as a doctor, is unpretentious and highly affordable. It is primarily designed for battlefield treatment of Operators and can administer medicine in various forms such as aerosolized sprays, deliveries, and simulations of a medic's treatment wand. However, the drone is still in the experimental stages, aiming for lightweight and convenient usage. It is a relatively fragile low-value target and may experience efficiency issues in areas with strong signal interference and complex terrain. Nonetheless, it provides quality treatment to Rhodes Island Operators.

In a classified log, Silence mentions her fascination with life and Originium's impact on human life on the continent. She expresses her desire to understand the origins of life and why Originium has infected human life. Joining Rhine Lab allowed her to explore these questions further. She shares her discovery that Rhine Lab's most subversive product, locked away in the lab, is still awaiting the right time and the right person with ambitious ideals to bring it to light. The log ends with Silence hinting at a deeper secret, implying that the listener already knows too much.
