Always a driven and plucky woman, Mira started life low on the rungs of society. Her parents, though poor, worked tirelessly to put Mira through the best education available, nurturing her natural intelligence. A hardy girl, her childhood was nonetheless a rough one and alongside her formal education was a more sinister, informal one. She learned quickly how best to avoid the gangs that roamed her neighbourhood.
1. While she pushed hard for a university education, her parents were simply unable to afford to send Mira anywhere that wouldn't offer her a full scholarship and her only recourse for further education was through an academy. Applying for a position with the police, she quickly set her sights on forensic investigation, refusing to give up her dreams of becoming a doctor. After years of unnecessary (to her eyes) weapons and vehicles training, Mira finally made a break into the more scientific world of crime prevention, taking with her a pair of friends from the academy.
2. However her success was short lived as her quick mind picked up a little too much. She became deeply embroiled in an investigation. One in which all the evidence pointed to a police insider - when she followed the trail to its source she was dismayed to find her superiors, who offered her a choice: Silence, or a messy end. She escaped, barely, and learned more about first aid than she had ever cared to know, staunching her own gunshot shoulder while help arrived.
3. With her injury preventing her from field work, Mira finally made her way to the academic world. Using the connections she'd made at the academy she was able to get a seat in the forensic department as a true scientist. Her past came back to haunt her as her old DI tried to bribe her with advancement to hold her silence in court, but she refused him once more and secured herself a solid place as a forensic investigator through determination and hard study.
4. As Mira entered her thirties, she became much more active in the international field. With constant advancements in technology, she led the field in robotic forensics, giving talks and writing papers on the subject world-wide
5. Her past never quite left her behind, however. Released on good behaviour her old DI came back with a vengeance, trying once more to set Mira up to fail with the temptation of advancement. She spent a year laying low, relying on the success of her career to carry her through, but with the threats of the past coming back, so too did her old shoulder wound, flaring up again and causing her chronic pain.
6. At forty, and feeling especially low about her future, Mira was given a golden, miraculous opportunity - she was offered a position on a new task force dedicated to space travel and cybernetics with her old academy mates. She spent a year reinvigorated, learning once more and finding her new passion. With stellar travel becoming more advanced and less expensive, she was able to embark on a number of orbital experiments into new forms of life support.
7. But disaster struck. After years of research and planning, Mira's own project - a new form of mechano-organic life support - was ready for testing. While some of her peers had reservations about its safety, she was able to convince them to allow her to test it in the field. Her work was imperfect, and the systems she had installed froze mid-mission, almost dooming her and a dozen colleagues to a slow and agonising death. While all hands were rescued, Mira became isolated once more as blame fell squarely on her shoulders.
8. One failure seemed to follow another in Mira's life. While her work continued to break new ground and she rose through the ranks of academia, the peers whose lives she had endangered turned even her closest friends against her.
9. Despite her devotion to her work, she found she could no longer drum up the support or funding needed for her most adventurous projects. Mira began to work by herself, using her knowledge of biology and engineering to train herself - preparing for a final mission to the stars...

Mira's Lab Ship (50%+5mCR paid off):

1 old ship quirk: Jesus, a result of 2 on a lab ship is Leaky Reactor... I think I'm gonna keep ol' Betsy in orbit where she can't IRRADIATE MY EXPERIMENTS or I guess my crew too...
