Magallan is a field specialist employed by Rhine Lab, operating under a cooperation agreement with Rhodes Island. She is currently based with us as she prepares to launch a new expedition. Magallan is skilled in the operation of highly modular drones, using them for attack or support as the situation dictates.

Imaging tests reveal clear, normal outlines of internal organs, and no abnormal shadows have been detected. Originium granules have not been detected in the circulatory system and there are no other signs of infection. At this time, this operator can be confirmed to be uninfected. [Cell-Originium Assimilation] 0% Operator Magallan shows no signs of Oripathy infection. [Blood Originium-Crystal Density] 0.14u/L Regularly operates in unknown environments, must take appropriate protective measures.

[Originium Arts Overview] 'Lutra Workshop and Rhine Lab Development joined forces to create Magallan's custom-made exploration suit. It includes a wide variety of sensor systems, as well as an Egret-type support drone!' Multi-functional survey sensor systems High temperature, low temperature, high pressure, all-environment work capability. High endurance, high efficiency, guaranteed operation time. Error tolerance <1mm, meets the highest testing standards. Improved laser port for measurement/attack/radiation, one tool with many functions. Internal systems come with all the latest software for your convenience. Egret-type support drone Preinstalled modules: 4 Number of drones that can be controlled under normal operations: 2 Number of drones that can be controlled under [redacted] operations: 5 Backup drones: 3 Be sure to equip your drones as appropriate for the situation on the ground. Module list: R23 module: High efficiency refrigeration module. Default operations impede targets, capable of freezing on activation. LRBD module: Laser mining module. Default operations fire an industrial laser at the target, capable of increasing power output for a short time upon activation. #66 module: armed attack module, default operations make use of the survey apparatus's assault port. When enabled, attacks a target within range. Activation greatly upgrades the assault port. [Redacted] module: effects unknown, please contact the module technician for more information. Huh? What's this supposed to be? Am I not a Caster? What's going on? --Caster Operator Z.R.'s note upon reading the report.

As a field specialist for Rhine Lab, Magallan has participated in numerous exploration projects over quite some time. her primary area of interest is sparsely populated ice sheets. Whether this is out of personal fascination or habit at this point, we cannot say. Normally, she sets out in early summer so as to return before the start of winter, gathering data herself from the unexplored land to the north of Rhine. During the last round of personnel transfers, Magallan received new orders and she began preparing to move her base of operations to Rhodes Island. Prior to arriving at Rhodes Island, Magallan's resupply was largely handled by experienced couriers, thanks mostly to security concerns. As such, she is familiar with a number of logistics firms. Interestingly, Magallan seems to have a good relationship with the boss of Penguin Logistics, 'Emperor,' such that some operators have expressed envy. Why exactly that is, no one can be certain.

Magallan's cabin was built with a small secret compartment, which upon getting approval from the operator responsible for corridor engineering was allowed to be expanded, without changing the internal structure of the ship. We won't have any problems with illegal alterations like with Mayer's workshop. The compartment remains rather small, but is big enough for Magallan to conduct her research. One wall was turned into a large display screen, showing the results of her recent expeditions, including her notes and theories, as well as photos of important places taken in the field. Specimens and test results litter the room, and although she has done her best to keep it all organized, one can't help but feel a little overwhelmed by it all. Rhine Lab's research projects involve a lot of cutting-edge technology, and some projects are beyond the capacity of even Rhodes Island's researchers to analyze. If somebody cried out in the cafeteria, 'are those Rhine Lab people all geniuses?' It wouldn't even raise many eyebrows. But if you climbed up into Magallan's lab compartment, you'd realize it's not just raw talent that produces such results, it's also an entire cabin's worth of effort. And more.

From the Black Flow of Bolívar to the high plains of Kazimierz to the submerged volcano of Iberia... Terra holds countless gems worthy of exploration, but humanity's curiosity has long been obscured by the haze of conflict. Magallan stands alone in the desolate deserts of ice. Away from relatives, friends, and the comfort of civilization, she seems to have little to keep her company except the ice and snow in her hands. Even though the results from her expeditions yield great research value, there are many who cannot understand the choices she makes. However, Magallan's motivations are simple - the goals she wants to pursue have always been crystal clear and unwavering— The nursery rhymes that were whispered into her ears as a child told her about the icy lands of the far north that had been forgotten by humanity, finally reduced to legends and tall tales. The final verses sung of an ancient history lost and buried beneath the ice, never opening their arms even to those who would try to remember them. These fantasies have long been Magallan's reality. Praised as a child, doubted as a young woman, criticized as an adult. While no one can understand her choices, the motivation for Magallan's constant exploration stems from her love for the pursuit of knowledge and the persistence to chase her dreams. Rhine Labs opened their doors to her, and after submitting her application, she chose the codename that she still uses today: 'Magallan.'

'Magallan? A researcher... I remember her. She's very open-minded, good to all of her colleagues. But you know, survey operators go out on extremely long missions. I imagine there's very few people who could put a face to her name. Maybe Ifrit and Muelsyse are the only exceptions.' 'They get along very well. After all, there aren't many people at Rhine Lab who can settle Ifrit down.' 'And Muelsyse, that Muelsyse... Can you imagine what Magallan and Ifrit call her? Hahaha... Ah, hah. They call her Mewmew.' 'Iffy and Mewmew.' 'Magallan the researcher... all I can say is she's really something special.' 'You could say she's really something different from us science punks.'

Technology is a researcher's weapon. Word of warning, don't underestimate the lady before you—she's not flying solo. She's got capable assistants at her back, crystallizations of knowledge, each and every function derived from a tale of personal risk, enough to carry her forward ever further.
