Neringa Zvikaite


 * Lieutenant Neringa Zvikaite
 * The Communications Officer is lieutenant Neringa Zvikaite, a blue eyed, real blond beauty. Her family is originally from Litvania near the Baltic Sea, but her ancestors in the 21 Century lived at the Independent Deep Sea Colonies of the Pacific Ocean, and they recieved some kind of genetical enchantment in the time of the Eugenic Wars, to be sea-born. Now Neringa is a kind of selkie with a hipnotic sound (and sea-gills on her neck, and webbed hind feet and fingers), and she uses her talents to better communicate with people, and better manipulate them. She is deeply religious in her feelings, in the time of the begining of the story she is an iniciate in the Secund Order of a catholic christian monk-prelature (more plainly: she is a nun). However, she is secretly attracted to the stoic conn officer of the ship, Yunupingu, who is the only genetically enchanted human in the Federation, whom she ever met (beside her family). (The -te suffix at the end of her surename means in litvanian language, that she is single.)
