Astrid Newman

Astrid Newman, briefly known as Resonance of Falling Sky, was a survivor of Project V and eventually a member of the Argonauts, after Victor Moore and Vaughn Porter rescued her in 2078 from the clutches of Lionel MacTavish, who had performed experiments on her involving contact with The Chasm.

She later went on to serve as a mystic and Chasmic medium in the Argonauts, as she was the only other member (besides Victor) who understood what the Chasm was, and had some historical contact with it. The ethics of her incorporation were a topic of argument among the Argonauts. Victor and other strong believers of the Chasm found her inclusion among the group essential, while others, such as Garrett Murakami, cited that her behavior and beliefs stemmed from deep mental trauma as result of being kidnapped and tortured, and that she would be better off seeking professional help and pursuing a more conventional line of work.

In November of 2089, she took her own life, which was also a subject of vehement debate within the force, from the same groups and citing similar thought-forms.
