Miriam Wagner

Miriam Wagner is one of the crew members in The Long Journey Home.

Description
Miriam originally joined IASA as an applied physicist, working on semi-conductor technologies that became part of our standard scanner array. Recently, however, she took the lead on our "Space Is For Everybody" campaign, fearing a future where only scientists still looked up at the stars. She has spent much of her time trying to encourage more to join IASA's mission, and to make it a place to share the dream.

Background
Miriam is the most empathetic person aboard. She is always trying to solve all human conflicts.

As a diplomatic person with a sense for culture, she can communicate with other aliens more efficiently than anybody else and as a scientist she is able to operate computers in ruins and wrecks.

Miri brought jewelry and her laptop onto the ship.

"Earth will always be our mother, but children must leave the nest. We will not truely grow up until we can prove we can make our own way in the universe."
