Chief Medical Officer Helena Russell

Dr Helena Russell is the Chief Medical Officer on Moonbase Alpha. She is the widow of Lee Russell who disappeared, presumed dead on a space exploration mission.

Conscientious, and hard working, she does not seem to be intimidated by higher authority and her frank views earned her the ire of the International Lunar Finance Committee who were pressing for the launch of the Meta Probe at all costs. This happened when she tried to link the deaths of workers at Nuclear Disposal Area 2 to the apparent sickness of the Meta Probes flight crew.

Russell can sometimes come across as a bit cold, and at times can be a bit sceptical. An example of such was when she examined Astronaut Tony Cellini after the failure of the Ultraprobe mission. She concluded that his story of aliens must be false and he was trying to pass the blame for his own error.
