A PhD researcher studying orbital mechanics and near-Earth objects.
Methodical and quietly persistent, Mei follows a small orbital discrepancy until it becomes impossible to ignore.
Mei Tanaka is a PhD researcher in orbital mechanics. She follows an anomalous near-Earth object and sends the raw findings to Nakamura.
She is in her late twenties. At the mountain observatory, loosened hair frames her face and she wears a light cardigan against the cold.

Mei Tanaka · Individual
PhD candidate specializing in orbital mechanics and near-Earth object tracking. Key contributor to anomaly detection efforts in TAO’s current observational run.
Thinks three arcseconds of drift is a big deal, which, annoyingly, she’s probably right about.
Mei Tanaka · Individual
Escalated her anomaly findings to Nakamura; intercepted and compromised before delivery, with dataset removed.
She was right, and that was precisely the problem.
