Naomi Djerassi (b27?? - died28??) was a Clan Goliath Scorpion infantry officer who would win a significant single-handed victory for her Clan during Operation Klondike.[1]

Biography

Most of the details about the life of this warrior begin with the tale of her victory at Kepler Atoll. It may be assumed that she underwent extensive Special Forces training during some point in her life prior to Operation Klondike, evidenced mainly by her achievements.

Treachery at Kepler Atoll

Assigned to take Kepler Atoll with David Marsden as part of the Babylon campaign, the two initially met success in negotiation with Marco Wye, potentate of the sea-based city, securing an agreement to surrender for the Clans. But upon attempting to leave, they were assaulted on the landing platform by rebel troops. David Marsden killed five of his attackers before they were able to take him down after his pistol jammed, throwing his body into the sea. Naomi Djerassi killed four of her attackers before being taken prisoner.[1]

Dragged back before the potentate, she was mocked when she warned of a massive Clan reprisal for their actions. She was then tortured and beaten before being thrown into an pool that held several captured seawolves. The Keplans expected her to ripped to pieces as most victims of this practice were. But this time, the aquatic mammals actually saved Djerassi's life for reasons not understood. Being possessed of an uncommon level of rudimentary intelligence, it is theorized that perhaps they recognized a fellow victim of their cruel keepers. Naomi Djerassi maintained that she had actually died and then was reborn amid the seawolves.[1]

Vengeance on the High Seas

The consequences for the Keplans were most dire. Over the course of the next two weeks, Djerassi would take the war to the inhabitants of the city. Soon, 50 of Wye's soldiers were missing or dead, and the populace was in terror of the "seawolf ghost", who would strike her unsuspecting victims without warning and at any time. At the height of her campaign of terror, she suddenly confronted Marco Wye himself, throwing him to the seawolves, who fed ravenously on their tormentor.[1]

Djerassi then ordered the now compliant if not terror-stricken inhabitants to release the seawolves. She then told them all to flee the doomed atoll after she sabotaged the main power reactor. Scorpion recon craft would mistake the explosion for a nuclear blast. Djerassi was found drifting on a life raft with a handful of survivors nearby.[1]

Legacy

Achieving considerable acclaim and notoriety for her deeds on Kepler Atoll, Naomi Djerassi is a legend among Clan Goliath Scorpion's warriors. Her determination and prowess would become hallmarks of her Clan's most important Elemental Bloodlines.[1]
