Physical Description:
Dr. med. Hailey Bay is a female doctor, age 29, standing at around 162cm. She has red hair, usually tied back, and is of American descent. Hailey has blue eyes, and a noticeable lisp. Her lab coat is in a well-kept state - however her ID, that is attached to her coat, is not. On the ID, her clearance level of "3" is crossed out with a red marker, and instead, has a "2" roughly written next to it, slightly slanted. She has a remarkably bad posture, with a slightly hunched back.
Backstory:
She never stopped thinking about the future, and "what could be". As many children, she had a knack for astronomy. Something being out there, beyond our own planet, always seemed to fascinate her. This wore off around high school. Instead, she garnered a new interest - Biology.
It provided her just what she was looking for. She loved getting a "Do-It-Yourself" science kit from her parents, and every time, would feel like she was transported to a new world. There was a lot to research, and unlike astronomy, it was achievable without having to build a rocket first. With this, she pursued Biology, more precisely Pharmacology. Being able to alter the body & the mind with pharmaceuticals was fascinating to her.
Hailey met Dr. Paul Ekkman at the University of Colorado Denver, while pursuing her PhD. During a group research project that Dr. Ekkman was overseeing, he found Hailey's way of thinking and her methods of research fascinating. Her brain runs faster than her mouth, whenever she tries to explain something she ends up drifting to other topics related to whatever she's talking about. She talks very quickly, and can be hard to understand with her lisp. There was a flaw about her, though. Hailey is clumsy. Extremely clumsy, and while she can do very precise work, you wouldn't want to trust her keeping your sample uncontaminated.
Still, he saw potential. Dr. Ekkman had prior connections to the Black Mesa Research Facility, most notably with Dr. Richard Keller. Once she finished her PhD, he immediately directed her towards Dr. Keller, handing her a recommendation, and securing her an interview. This was incredibly sudden for Hailey, considering she didn't even know this was happening, and it's a LONG way from Denver to New Mexico. This was, however, her moment to shine.
She was, practically, guaranteed to get the job, however she completely messed up the interview. Here's a passage from it;
Dr. ()§)$/§)=%: Alright, Hailey. Please visualize this. I would give you a sample of a spore molecule. Detail your process in an experiment in which you'd isolate and sequence a protein from it.
Hailey Bay: Okay, so, like, I'd take the sample, with, like, you know, not my hands, maybe a pair of tongs or with gloves, and I'd crush it in a lysis buffer. So, that would crack open the cells and the, uh, I mean, get the proteins out. Then I would spin it in a centrifuge, to, you know, remove the gooey stuff, and use a gel electrophoresis thing to get the protein I really want. I'd need to chop the protein with enzymes..
Hailey awkwardly performs a motion, in which she hacks something with her hands.
Hailey Bay: And run it through a mass spectrometer. I guess I could, uhh, figure out the amino acid sequence, yes! Phew, that was good right?
She started working at Black Mesa in 1997. She started with a clearance of level 3, however was bumped down to 2. Her clumsy nature has provided some interesting new guidelines for facility staff to follow.
(this is my first ever application, I had to resend it due to it getting deleted for some reason? not sure if this was due to a rule break but i wasn't warned beforehand or after it)
Tasked with leading Project CHORUS, an experimental initiative aimed at studying the harmonic properties of exotic materials recovered from anomalous events.
