			Raina is a researcher of section 9 who works as a therapist, treating crew members with problems adapting to reality or to the transitions between experiences. She is not a citizen, though she works enough to be one, because Omega does 99% of the administration anyway. Pale, with light straight hair, she has a penetrating gaze that never changes with the rest of her expression, and she has never been seen wearing a [zeichen]. She is one of the few people who still read.

She suspects the crew may already be living in a recreation: the mission's volunteers were drawn by an experimental games AI that promised to let them recreate three times longer, and the reports of fuzzy memories fit a deep recreation. Kurt checks [[Omega\|Omega]]'s code on her account and finds nothing that settles it either way.

			{{Spoiler\|Descent}}
			On the expedition Raina talks to everyone, makes a mark in her journal whenever Kurt or Wang acts, keeps a crystal fragment, and calms the frightened with drugs from her bag. She has had Kurt followed since their return, and walks into his cubicle just in time to save him from Pedro's men.

			Kurt persuades her on her own terms: if this is a game, she must join the side with the better chance of winning. She promises to keep him in the game, win over a hundred undecided crew members and take two dozen guardians out of action. Disguised as a guardian, she frees Kurt and [[Kseniya\|Kseniya]] when they are captured, and supplies [[Nikau\|Nikau]] with medicines for the wounded on the march east.
