Kristine Martin was the Director of Research at Universal Omnitech since at least 2050 and probably a lot longer. She is possibly the one of the top researchers in her fields of Biotechnology and Genetic Engineering. She sometimes posts on Shadowland BBS with the handle "KAM", presumably her initials. In 2050, she was called as a witness during a class action lawsuit against Universal Omnitech. Brad Williams, who will later become Vice President of the CAS, was the trial lawyer, and caused her to break down during cross-examination.
