Since it appears Dakota's about to dock with counter-Earth's station Freedom...
Megan Anderson, station commander, Freedom
Born July 7, 1964. Brown hair, going gray, worn in a "pageboy" cut; Hazel eyes (wears glasses). Left leg missing from the knee down, right leg missing altogether; otherwise in good physical shape. Bears a striking resemblance to Fenspace's Noah Scott.
Public information: Megan was born and raised in the "eastern seaboard" area of the USA, and has an address-of-record in Hartford, Connecticut. She was in NASA's astronaut program in 1995 when she suffered a training accident which cost her her legs. After five months of rehab, she was assigned to Freedom as a mission specialist, specializing in hydroponics and zero-g botany. By the time prosthetics technology had advanced to the point where functional artificial legs could be made for Megan, she was completely acclimatized to living in zero-g. Megan was named station commander in 2013.
Not in the official online bio, but discoverable from rumors (or just asking Megan): She's an excellent cook, capable of making ration-pack food taste good. (She'll invite the crew of the Lunar Fox to dinner, and will probably be as surprised by their biomods as they will by her missing legs.) Megan's father (Peter) and brothers (twin brother Noah, younger brother Gerald) are all involved in the defense industry - all three of them pulled strings to keep her in the space program back in '95. Megan's the only one of her family to ever leave Earth.
