Akiko Takada has joined the crew.

Class: Scientist Role: Exogeologist Speciality: Harvesting Background: Environmental activist Flight time: 60 days Crew ID: 141

Age: 40 Nat: JAP Rnk: n/a

Akiko is a 40 years old exogeologist, daughter of Japan industry Minister Nobuo Takada. Her mother Yumi Takada is also well-known for being one of the leaders of The Great Gaïa Church. She studied geological risks at the University of Kyoto and graduated with two PhD in mineral analysis and exogeology.

During her studies, she became involved in politics and joined an environmentalist NGO as a spokesperson. Her wisdom and charisma, in addition to her exceptional scientific capabilities, allowed her to take a very important role in the organization.

Thanks to her growing fame, she quickly had the opportunity to work where she always wanted to and joined the Red Destination Company as Chief Operator of the Lunar Helium-3 Extraction Base. She gained a lot of experience and participated in different perilous space missions, making her an exceptional astronaut. She left Red Destination in 2082 to join Octal Corporation and began preparing for the Io-1 mission.

Akiko is a valuable member of the Io-1 crew. She not only brings a very solid scientific and space mining knowledge, but also her incredible personality and psychological skills. Akiko is a wise and calm woman, with a very poetic and philosophical way of approaching problems. She is committed to respect and team values and is considered a rock to rely on by her teammates. On earth, she loves hiking, nature photography and meditation.
