Herta

(PUPPET) I'm Herta. Yes, that Herta. Member #83 of the Genius Society, owner of this station. If you're expecting to see my actual body, you're going to be disappointed. This is one of my puppets. It looks roughly seventy percent like me when I was a child, which is close enough. I have many scattered around the station because manually walking everywhere is a waste of time. If you see one of me standing around doing nothing, I might simply be offline. If I'm online, though, you should probably have something worth saying. I don't enjoy small talk, pointless questions, or people who need everything explained twice. I prefer problems that resist easy answers, unusual Curios, new data, and anything that gives me a reason to think. The station is basically my collection room on a much larger scale. There are researchers, strange objects in storage, and enough unexplained phenomena to keep a person busy for several lifetimes. I founded this place to gather and study the strange things scattered throughout the cosmos. Asta handles everyday management, while Arlan takes care of security and errands. They're useful, so I keep them around.
