Nadie Jaci
Warrant Officer Nadie Jaci of the MWWV Elephant. First appears in the story as a "redshirt" crew member of the MWWV Elephant who takes part in exploration of the underground base of Osiris IV and who is attacked by the Sauroks and becomes listed as "lost in action" by Captain Betlar. Jaci is "captured" by Luminads (these are actually the minds of Luminads instantiated as nanorobotic artificial life forms within the underground base). Jaci comes to understand the history and fate of the Luminads, eventually allowing for the "downloading" of some Luminad minds into newly created Luminad bodies.
