Biography

On August 9th, 2103, Dr. Masters was scanned for the ARK project.

On November 1, 2103, John Strohmeier asks Dr. Masters to give Dr. Catherine Chun a psychiatric evaluation. Dr. Masters’ evaluation of Catherine describes her as being “weak in character, the perfect victim to be domineered and pushed around by others”. 

On December 20, 2103, Dr. Masters wrote a report after examining Vanessa Hart, stating that she appears to be in good shape, with only bruises and mild hypothermia caused by the long walk. Dr. Masters also mentions that It’s difficult to corroborate her story as she is the only member of the Lambda Salvage Crew to return from Lambda.

Once Terry Akers managed to take over Maggie Komorebi’s team's zeppelin, he arrived at Theta on January 16, 2104 unconscious and in a poor condition. While Theta's crew was unaware of the events that took place in Delta, Akers is brought to the infirmary to be examined by Dr. Masters.

While examining Akers, Dr. Masters records herself discussing his condition. She brings to light that he has apparently been consuming large quantities of structure gel. Although small doses may be harmless, she notes how the large quantity consumed by Akers may be mutating his body and seemingly his attitude also considering he was missing his own eyes. Dr. Masters also predicts malign cell mutations because of the gel's mutative qualities. She plans to consult Dr. Eames at Omicron.

While Dr. Masters is typing up this medical report, she was abruptly attacked by Akers, who connected her to the WAU in order to keep her alive artificially.

In SOMA

In Theta maintenance, Masters' breathing body can be found in her office, still in front of her computer, connected to the WAU. She appears to have the back of her skull broken open.

A trail of blood can be found from the examination table Akers was placed on to the chair in Dr. Masters' office, leading to the assumption that Akers was the one who attached her to the WAU.

Dialogue

Audiolog Recording

  • Terry Akers, Chief Factor at Delta, first assessment.

  • Brought in today, January 16th, 2104.

  • Reportedly found in his diving suit, unconscious, in open water.

  • Akers has clearly been consuming large amounts of structure gel, for weeks probably.

  • It's difficult to tell how this has affected his health, beyond the obvious malnourishment, and if it somehow caused him to gouge out his eyes.

  • Small amounts of gel have always been considered perfectly safe to handle, but I can't recall ever hearing about any recommendations on how to treat overexposure.

  • Considering it properties, I doubt it's poisonous, but the more trans-formative aspects of the feral fluid makes me think that malign cell mutations are to be expected.

  • I think... I think I will need to consult Dr. Eames at Omicron about this.


Transcripts

Konrad - Oct 7, 2103

GUY KONRAD
Age: 41 Sex: M

Konrad is dead. He boiled his brain to pulp with a W-Rem (maser) following the ARK neuroscan. Clearly another "Continuity" enthusiast killing himself to take his place on the ARK.

Chun - Nov 1, 2103

CATHERINE CHUN
Age: 37 Sex: F

As usual Chun is quiet and does her best to avoid eye contact. She doesn't want to be here, but Strohmeier demands another evaluation. Chun isn't obstinate or dishonest, but she'd rather not speak if it can be avoided. She has a hard time dealing with people in general, including doctors. Catherine Chun is weak in character, the perfect victim to be domineered and pushed around by others. She is a scared mouse I don't want to upset - so we sit quiet and pass the time.

Hart - Dec 20, 2103

VANESSA HART
Age: 28 Sex: F

Hart appears to be in good shape considering the circumstances. Only bruises and mild hypothermia caused by the long walk. It's difficult to corroborate her story as she is the only one to return.

Akers - Jan 16, 2104

TERRY AKERS
Age: 66 Sex: M

One of the worst cases I've seen and it's most likely his own damn fault. He blinded himself and clogged up his insides with structure gel. I'd be surprised if he ever woke up from the coma.

Did make me think of Hart's absurd story about what happened at Lambda. Could it really be that the WAU is somehow able to change and rebuild the h_

Behind the Scenes

  • Her surname may be a reference to a master's degree
  • The photo found on Julia Dahl's laptop at Omicron is supposed to be Dr. Masters, according to the file name.
