Renata Espinosa was a woman who worked as a Field Worker on PATHOS-II, stationed at Tau.[1]

Biography

Espinosa lived in Tau Cabin B with Antjie Coetzee.

Espinosa was one of the staff at Tau who were killed during the failed evacuation to Omicron. Her body was found by Julia Dahl, having apparently almost cut in half by "something big" (presumably the Leviathan), and this convinced Dahl to leave the remaining members of Tau to their fate.

Behind the Scenes

Function

She is the only known person on PATHOS-II with the function of ‘Field Worker’. This might be an antiquated name for the function of Field Service Technician, but this is in no way confirmed, and it could be something only tangentially related.

Originally a survivor

It seems that Espinosa was originally planned to be one of the survivors of the failed Tau evacuation, as she is signed under a cut document, along with other members of the ARK team, which arrived to Tau 7 months after the failed evacuation.

In this iteration, it's possible that she would go on to pass away on the left bed in Cabin B, being the ‘cocoon’ inside Cabin B, as the map editor names it corpse_omicron_female_lying_down_1, and there were no other applicable female personnel from Tau.

  1. TAU Evacuation
    On September 13th Vic Auclair ordered the staff at Tau to evacuate and move up to the plateau. Together with engineer Alan Waldeck I descended into the abyss to assist the evacuation. Following protocol we waited at the Climber platform for 140 minutes and made several attempts to contact Tau. I decided to move towards the site, thinking I might intercept them. That's when I noticed the guiding lights flickering and soon the whole path shut down - Omega Sector swallowed by darkness. I pushed on with my floodlight until I heard screaming over the short-range radio. It carried on, breaking in and out of range. As I hurried closer to investigate I came upon the lacerated body of Field Worker Espinosa - something big had almost cut her in two. I considered the importance of saving Tau and more specifically Ross, as I heard Espinosa's colleagues getting massacred over the radio. Seeing no way to possibly improve the situation, I hurried back to the Climber and left the people at Tau to their fate.
