Kseniya is a maintenance engineer of section 9 and Kurt's usual partner in experiences, since a survival game they shared by chance hundreds of cycles ago: he handles the strategy, she the most direct action. Robust, deep-voiced and always flat in tone, she is brutal in a fight and calls Kurt "[jefe]". Many people avoid playing with her, saying she struggles with the parameters of experiences and with self-control.
In Descent (2258)
Aboard the ship
Kseniya fights beside Kurt at Hadrian's Wall and drives the tank "Mjölnir" beside his mech in the "Battle for Draconis", which she calls the best cycle of her life. In a vigil she goes outside the gravity ring to a data cubicle so that Kurt can compare Omega's backup code with the running one.
After the crash
After the crash Kseniya joins the Reclaimers, who began by clearing away the dead and now search the wreck for materials, and who are not well liked. She favours a camp on the periphery, by a pool, where she cooks karmabog stew with a secret ingredient from the ship's printed food. She takes Kurt there on his first night, and later finds the parts for his transformer and fits a cargo platform to a tracker robot for the expedition.
The expedition and the split
For the rebellion Kseniya takes Kurt's Mjölnir pendant with her to the dozen engineers he names, to win them over. She arms the exploration robot with a harpoon launcher, her "specs update", fights hand to hand in the convoys while Kurt frees them, and throws him a club when he faces Wang.
