Merril Brightstar: Inventor

Merril's intelligence cannot be measured by our current instruments, but we do that she was initially exploited by Calvin Blackmoon as his head research and development specialist and developed powerful new weapons and war machinery. Later, after a fallout with Blackmoon Corporation, she was recruited by the kindly inventor Vernon Yun and assisted him in developing practical uses for Yunium Ore, and was instrumental in the Isaac Project which led to the production of the mechanical pets that are so popular on Atebus and Subeta. She has accomplished many wonderful things in her lifetime and still, Merril doesn't project an 'uber-nerd' personality, you know the stereotype, the "all-brain-no-common-sense" types that we all know. Merill is sweet, compassionate, funny and long-suffering, especially of me as I blunder along as the ship's healer in a world totally foreign to me. Merry is now 'retired' from corporate life, living on a huge income of patent royalties and stock options. She continues to invent things 'freelance' and has invented some of the most curious devices and solved some very vexing problems that I have ever encountered in my work.



Merril's Inventions




The Quantum Cloaking Field Generator, (I call it my 'lurking device' ) generates a small, one-meter radius cloaking field that essentially renders the field's occupant nearly invisible. The 'lurking device, also has two-way communication of nearly unlimited range, a proximity sensor that can discriminate between thousands of individual DNA signatures stored in it's memory and alert the owner of their approach while being cloaked. The device can also generate a stasis field for about twelve hours. It is small enough that I can keep it safely hidden next to my bosom. There are only three known surviving devices, I have two and Merril has the other. They tuned to respond to a limited number of users. If taken or confiscated, the device will render the thief senseless when activated.



The Single-Point Teleportation Portal, or transporter is about the same size as the Lurking Device and is capable of opening up a three meter radius portal to any location. Merry cannot explain how it works; normally, a transporter needs two points of reference, Merry's device is a stand-alone device. You want to go to the store? Set the coordinates, press the button and 'bing' you are there. It also has a proximity circuit and it will not teleport you into a wall, in the path of a bus, or off the end of a cliff. The range is limited by its power source, I cannot teleport to Atebus to see my friends for example. However, when it is coupled to a small matter/anti-matter warp engine, the Single-Point Teleportation Portal can transport anything anywhere in this sector of the galaxy, I think.



Niles Nikola Schrodinger, my pet Steamworks Kumos was modified by Merry and is based on the research she did with the inventor Vernon Yun before he was murdered. Niki, as we call him has a positronic brain, a proximity circuit and enough memory to store all the data for the ship. Niki can be plugged into any of the devices and add power to increase range of each devices effects. Merril believes that Niki will eventually be as smart as she is and be able to replicate himself within two years.



My laboratory has many other devices that Merril invented, such as the DNA Analyzer and Rapid Process Gene Sequencer, the stasis tubes for prolonged surgical procedures and many of the analyzers I use in diagnosing disease. Merry pioneered the technique of coupling the DNA analyzer, lurking device, stasis tubes and teleporter to reassemble two of my shipmates who's DNA had gotten mixed up during a phychic healing accident. No, Merry will not to 'enhancements' on our body. Don't even ask, she will blush and hide.



When she is not inventing, tweaking her inventions or reading, she can be found with her best friends Madison, Niki and Venti Latte giggling, eating popcorn, drinking virgin pina coladas, watching old movies, or swimming in her kiddie-sized wading pool. She collects pearls because they represent how something beautiful can form over time from something ugly and irritating, much like how her present-day work of helping people and solving life's difficult problems is built around the technology she created for destruction and death. Her pearls are her 'sea stars.'



Merry is very pretty, very alluring, very single and very available. Her number is AH454-FF999-HQ13-AA88-1 and she will probable kill me for posting that here, but the girl is way too shy around boys. Male Galactic Terracoons need only call please...You don't have to be as smart as she is, just really good at kissing.
