Field notes
Born in Stuttgart and brought to Ann Arbor, Michigan, at nine, Voss graduated MIT at twenty-two and finished a doctorate in theoretical physics at twenty-six before being recruited — under an academic cover she only later understood as one — into a black program built around a discovery that breaks the physics she has spent her life defending. She thinks in calculation first and emotion second, sardonic in private and formal in professional rooms, with a deep horror of being complicit in harm.
Physical description
Around five-foot-six, spare and lean, with the build of someone who forgets to eat when the work is good. Dark brown hair lightly threaded with grey, kept short or pulled back and given no real thought; pale grey eyes; fair, Northern-European skin. Reading glasses she pushes up when she's deep in the data, neutral and functional clothes she chooses without interest, and a contained, economical presence that defaults to a deliberate blank.
