[b]Specialty:[/b] Miniature Drones

[b]Equipment:[/b]
 - Two 'Pixie' drones, modified to work underwater. The Pixie model is very small, power efficient and mobile 
  making them perfect for long term observation, though they can be re-purposed for other tasks. Can be 
  controlled manually or given rudimentary 
  instructions.

 - Advanced Scanner, or "Datacorder". Used by everyone from healthcare workers to bomb defuses these devices are 
   a staple of any expedition 
 - A very expensive and high quality civilian issue Sonic pistol, in perfect condition (read: never been used)
 - PDA datapad

[Hider=Personality]
[b]Personality:[/b] 
 - Even amongst her colleagues Amélie is described as 'professional'. Only a few people have ever really gotten 
  close to her emotionally
 - Loves to talk about her work and others, whether it's the latest text on the void-gliders near Xxattra V or 
  the new line of Pixie drones (which obviously aren't as good as the the previous model). Unfortunately this 
  leaves her quite awkward around people who don't understand these things
 - Has no history in violence and despite being directed to practice with her sonic pistol before leaving on 
  this expedition never actually did so, hoping she'll never have need to use it
 - Comes from a rich family, which paid for her education. She has a stiff accent and bearing which gives it 
  away

[hider=Backstory:]
Amélie has never really struggled, whether in studies or life. She was born into privilege and given every advantage, and has flourished. Her name and standing were cemented when she wrote 'The definitive Guide to Droquillan Biology and What it Means to YOU' completely out of coincidence a few months before the species joined the USS, some 7 years ago now. Originally meant to be just her graduating text it became a hit best seller as the political situation unfolded on and off the planet, despite only mentioning anything to do with the conflict in the foreword. 

Unintentionally Amélie had become the household name on the Droquillan species and devoted the rest of her study towards the topic for the next few years, eventually becoming a Doctor and publishing the text 'Nautris: The Great Blue Mystery' despite never having stepped foot (or submerged one) on the planet. It was a text on eco-sphere and a touching on local culture. It would once again be released perfectly timed and sell amazingly well as a few months after publication it was announced 'The Trident' was approved and green-lit.

Given her recent string of success in the field she was approached by the USS Navy and met by Rear Admiral Gildeon Omarkei, where she was brought onto the initiative in an advisory capacity, briefing the operatives and developing understanding of the planet and it's inhabitants. Despite not wanting to leave the comfort of her lab for the confines of a stuffy space-ship she knew it would be career-suicide not to follow this opportunity.

Although she has technically served with The Trident since its launch she is only making planetfall on this second year, now that the situation beneath the waves is a little more safe (if not stable). Her reaction to this is mixed; on one hand she wants to keep herself safe but on the other hand she wants to make sure her book and legacy is as accurate as possible.
