Professor Martha Meitner (玛莎•迈特纳), also known under the nickname Laplace (拉普拉斯) and target designation Capita (死罪, lit. “Capital Offense”), is an American Relic Technology scientist formerly affiliated with the Relics Agency, and later an important member of Paradeus. She was instrumental in the creation of Nytos.
Background
Meitner studied at the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore along with Gray Blackwell.[1][2] A dedicated scientist, she lived and worked at the applied physics lab after her graduation, leading to the Relics Agency recruiting her.[3] Meitner became renowned for her research on Relics,[4] especially for the Holy Grail Project.[2] She also participated in the creation of the Dog Tag System and Daybreak Squad, and gave Aliana her name.[5] Both projects were inspired to her by a paper from Arthur Hume she bought from the black market for a trifle.[6][7] However, she was fired for conducting unethical experiments.[8][2] What happened to Meitner after this is unclear, but she eventually left the United States for the Neo-Soviet Union.
In 2047, two years after the start of World War Three, she and her daughter Sana arrived in the small town of Beslan. Meitner was apparently serving prison time and was on a three-months probation to teach introductory physics in the local high school, but her nationality made her a target for the patriotic people of Beslan, especially since she replaced a teacher who had enlisted and died in the war.[1] She survived Operation Eternal Flame, the massacre of Americans in the town by the Beslan Guard Regiment,[9] and made uneasy friends with Anna Tsoi,[10] who gave her the nickname Laplace, from Laplace's Demon.[11]
After Sana died during a terrorist attack in Beslan,[12] Meitner sent a letter from Beslan in 2050 and made a desperate plea for Blackwell's help to resurrect Sana and take revenge against the Relic Agency.[13] In 2051, in Moscow, Meitner pursued experiments to resurrect Sana by restarting the Holy Grail Project[14] under the name Hela Project,[3] but Blackwell deemed the project a failure the same year.[12] Blackwell also judged that the Hela Project was contradicting the Hippocratic Oath and stopped supporting Meitner.[3] In a letter, Blackwell accused Meitner of having sacrificed one of her students and that Meitner's goal was never for Sana's sake.[15] Ironically, it is Blackwell who introduced Meitner to Rudolf von Oberstein,[11] who eventually recruited her into Paradeus.[8] Despite her efforts, the progress of the Hela Project was very slow and clones of Sana never replicated the child as she envisioned.
In 2051, the United States conducted Operation Couatl and deployed Daybreak Squad to capture Meitner, who was known under the name Laplace and target designation "Capita". The mission was a failure and Meitner escaped.[16][17][18][19] Meitner continued to exchange letters with Blackwell in 2058, sharing the difficulties of the Hela Project and hoping to meet her in Bremen,[20] though Blackwell may already have been replaced by her Nyto clone.
Meitner was involved in two of Anna's fabricated memories she relived in 2064:[21] she allegedly faced Meitner after she escaped the American troops during Couatl,[12] and in 2061, she was allegedly attacked by Ramzan, her brother turned by Meitner into the cyborg Ganglati.[22]
Character Info
Meitner is a cold and ruthless woman who believes science shouldn't be slowed down by ethics,[8] demonstrated by the enormous amount of test subjects she discarded over the lifetime of the Hela Project. She talks bluntly and easily disregards social conventions, making her very unfriendly. Her absence of patriotism and distaste for authority landed her in hot waters in war-time Neo-Soviet Union.[1] According to herself, she only discovered she would make a bad mother after giving birth to Sana and neglected her,[11] but paradoxically went to extreme measures to resurrect her after her death.
Story Involvement
In 2064, Meitner resided at Avernus in the Dead Sea near Berlin. After Angelia's capture, she used her as a test subject and performed brain surgery on her,[23][24][25] manipulating her memories along with RPK-16.[21] She apparently successfully fled Avernus before it was destroyed at the conclusion of the Battle of the Dead Sea.
