Sharon Valver:

A tech researcher who boasts the greatest knowledge within the expedition team. She possesses a mysterious power, the fruit of her tireless research. She speaks in a calm, soft manner. She is not one to mince words, but there is a mischievous side to her. She takes part in research at the military laboratory, and she has access to technology which can restore data files within old machines.

Sandra Waynwright:
She easily wields a giant shield, and has taken on the role of intercepting enemy attacks for her allies. Because of her small stature, stubborn personality, and dislike of carrots, she is self-conscious about not being taken seriously with her childlike appearance. On the other hand, she holds a deep trust for Quinn, who speaks to her without such prejudice.
