Juliette Keyes

Introduction "There is no better high than discovery." - E. O. Wilson Although she doesn't look old enough to be doing so, Juliette Keyes works for Lehr & Associates, a consulting firm heavily involved with government and military contracts. When the government can't, or won't, hire someone themselves -- which happens all the time -- Lehr is one of the short list of nationwide consulting firms that they reach out to to handle whatever the problem is. After all, it's easier to dismiss a contractor than to fire a permanent employee, and especially so when the employer is Uncle Sam. Juliette doesn't have a lot to say about the details of her work -- she's probably signed a stack of confidentiality agreements about six inches high -- but she describes herself as an "aerospace engineer", and she's the sort of bright young woman with occasional social awkwardness issues for whom that job description is remotely plausible. For all her regular grumbling about the people she works with, she certainly seems dedicated; indeed, she's been heard to say that she has the best job in the world. And she wasn't being obviously sarcastic. [ edit ] Stereotypes Dangerous. Mostly the reactive kind of dangerous, though. Dangerous -- the unnervingly proactive kind of dangerous. Weirdly compelling, but they have about as much future as the coelacanth. Not my problem. So very much not my problem. I hope they're not my problem. It's hard sometimes, but look up! We're going to the stars. [ edit ] Contacts Gloria Talking to you is such a relief. Martine Kind of a bitch. But in an amusing way. Matthew That's no way to treat fine machinery. Hand me a wrench. Taylor Makes me wish I understood people better. Which is to say, "at all." Thana Good artist. Not very practical. But I repeat myself. [ edit ] RP Hooks Awkwardness: Juliette is, to put it nicely, inadequately socialized. She doesn't have a good sense of when things are appropriate to say and when they aren't, and she doesn't consider it rude to just look over your shoulder and ask what you're doing. Which ... could be good or bad. Computer Nerdery: Although she's not really the computer scientist of the family (that's her sister Lucy), she's still very gifted by the standards of any normal person. And she has strong ideas about freedom of information -- which is to say, if she needs information, she has no qualms about going and getting it, whether she's "supposed" to have it or not. Family: Juliette has five sisters and one half-sister, all of whom are exceptional engineers or scientists of some variety in their own right. If you're heavily involved in one of their specialties, you may know of or perhaps have met one of them. The family includes Lucy (computer science), Marie (pure mathematics), Aurelia (electrical engineering), Kyra (biology), Emily (chemistry), and their half-sister Allie (human psychology). Fixing Things: Most of her job is on the design side rather than the construction side. But sometimes the only way to test your ideas is to build something yourself, so when necessary, she can build a autonomous dune rover out of spare parts, or repair anything from a refrigerator to a 747. Smart People: If you're exceptionally bright and she picks up on it, she'll be very interested in you, and may try to convince you to consider employment with Lehr & Associates if you show even the slightest interest. Space!: One of the few things Juliette is really passionate about is space exploration. Are you interested in the Final Frontier? She's up to date on all the latest news from NASA and around the world. [ edit ] Logs No pages meet these criteria. Gallery Definitely not what Juliette looks like. [ edit ]
