One of RIM Billiton's more famous explorers. Asbestos was recommended to Rhodes Island for treatment by Operator Magallan, and signed an agreement to become an operator after negotiation.
After professional training, she uses a large shield that she personally modified to protect other operators on the front lines.

Imaging tests have shown the outlines of her internal organs to be indistinct due to abnormal shadows. Originium granules have been detected in her circulatory system, confirming her to be infected with Oripathy.
[Cell-Originium Assimilation] 7%
A small amount of crystals are distributed across the surface of the body, and the disease has caused her eyes to change color. So far, no other complications besides the discoloration have been found.
[Blood Originium-Crystal Density] 0.22u/L
The operator contracted Oripathy at a young age and had not done anything previously to respond to the condition, which means that the original symptoms could be very profound. However, due to her frequent expeditions and excellent physical condition, her symptoms have been relieved to a certain extent, and stabilized further after receiving treatment from Rhodes Island. Requires regular treatment.

Asbestos is an explorer with a foul attitude.
She's never friendly with anyone and is the epitome of 'doing things my way,' but if you can withstand her verbal abuse, you'll find her to be a mature and capable individual.
She spends most of her time exploring outdoors, and rarely makes public appearances when she is on Rhodes Island. Occasionally, she is seen forcing the Doctor to drink.

Even though she denies it, it is clear that Asbestos is a true explorer. Of course, she is very different from Magallan.
On one hand, Magallan is employed by Rhine Lab. Though the desire to explore the frozen tundra was her own, the core reason she undertook her exploration had a great deal to do with Rhine Lab. Additionally, Magallan's exploration was better planned and thoroughly measured.
On the other hand, Asbestos's exploration is completely amateur - nobody asked her to do it, and nobody is backing her financially. She merely follows her own ideas, walking around and recording her observations in her travel notes and publishing them in magazines.
In fact, almost all active explorers on Terra are affiliated with either some country or company, such as Magallan is, and explorers with no backing, such as Asbestos, are very rare. Realistically speaking, a desire to explore the world cannot be fulfilled solely through courage, but requires capital as well.
Though Asbestos is reluctant to reveal her background, we can surmise that there's likely nothing exceedingly bad or traumatic. As for why she decided to become a maverick explorer, Rhodes Island does not intend to pry too much. That is to say, on this point, she differs greatly from Magallan.
As for the differences in their views on exploration, Asbestos claims that she's just 'in it for the excitement.' While it is true that when we mention explorers, we often have an impression of them as being pioneers, trailblazers, delvers into the unknown, or torchbearers for those who come after them, etc., none of these are substantively different.
'Opening the way for those in the future' is generally the result rather than the cause. For example, while Magallan has always wanted to be an explorer, that desire fundamentally stems from her longing for the frozen tundra. Rather, those who try to act out of one of these clichéd ideals of righteousness usually end up giving up halfway through.
From the footprints that Asbestos has left and the records she has taken, there is no doubt that she is an excellent explorer.

Unlike most operators who are introverted or have trouble managing their interpersonal relationships, we can determine two things from Asbestos's interactions with others: First, she knows how to see a task through to its completion, and second, she knows exactly how to get along with people.
It's just that she doesn't want to do it.
She doesn't care if she acts in a way that makes others hate her. As a matter of fact, she even revels in that animus, especially when people say it to her face. She understands that the true way to alienate others is not to rudely refuse, but rather to be calculatingly evasive, or to be ambivalent.
Rather than saying she doesn't understand interpersonal relationships, it's more accurate to say that she sees them far too thoroughly and hasn't chosen not to maintain certain norms after recognizing all of this.
Like Magallan, she knows how to endure loneliness, but a major difference is, one of Magallan's greatest motivating factors is the fact that someone is waiting for her. Asbestos, however, has no need for such motivation, nor is she trying to compensate for that with something else. She simply has learned to draw her motivation from other things.
It's little wonder that some operators think she's very cool. She's willing to bear the consequences of her decisions, alone.
Even though we have no way of finding out about her past without her cooperation, based upon the result, she claims to actively want to be a 'jerk' that antagonizes everyone, and is intent on staying that way until the end of her life.
It is not for us to judge whether her lifestyle is correct, nor do we expect her to change. However, from Rhodes Island's standpoint, we always hope that operators will be able to trust us. In this respect, Asbestos may be one of the most difficult operators we've ever dealt with.
However, thanks to the Doctor's persistent efforts, Asbestos is now willing to recognize Rhodes Island as the company behind her, and she has made respectable progress.

Based upon her own account, Asbestos contracted Oripathy when she went too far into an Originium-rich zone.
Given that the possibility of infection through prolonged exposure to Originium is well known, the reality is that she knowingly put herself at risk. But, as mentioned in a previous file, Asbestos's great strength is that she can always accept the consequences for her decisions. Because she accepted this reality, there is no way to really blame her.
Of course, the life of an explorer also facilitates her liberties in a certain sense. After all, she has very little contact with people except for those needed to refill her supplies.
Because Asbestos's autonomy does not infringe upon other people, the biggest victims are probably the Doctor and certain operators who are trying to establish a good relationship with her. Therefore, Rhodes Island will continue to uphold its consistent policy of not interfering with the private lives of its operators.
But even if that is the case, just as she insists on living life her own way, Rhodes Island also has something it insists on - we will never let her die as she wishes.

To my young reader:
Hello, my young friend. I've seen the photograph you sent me, and read the letter attached to it. Luckily for you, your letter arrived during my return to Rim Billiton to write my next draft. But I am sorry to inform you that Asbestos vs. Two-headed Gloompincer is not one of my works. I did not write it. You profess your love for Asbestos Tears Apart the Mutant Mangler, but that was not written by me either. Those are unauthorized knock-offs.
As for Asbestos Charges into the Cave of Death and Asbestos Conquers the Waterfall of Blood... Yes, my editor says those two were actually mine. I'm sure my publisher has their reasons for choosing those sorts of names. I suppose otherwise I probably wouldn't have received your letter. Also, that sales tactic of 'buy the book for a complimentary miniature'... When my editor told me my books were incredibly popular among children, I was very confused, but now I understand.
After receiving your letter, I went out to buy some of the Asbestos series, including the unauthorized volumes, and I noticed that, whether genuine or not, the free item was always a miniature. Did you make the board and other items in your photo yourself? You're amazing, reading my books as seriously as you have. As for your questions...
Your first question about the color of Sami's Borea, that is, the aurora. While I've only seen and written about a green one, there are other colors such as red, violet, and blue. Your friend is right.
As for your second question, Sargonians really do use their tails for angling. According to them, there is even a species of sawtooth fin that has a special love for thin Archosauria tails, so only those blessed with such tails can catch them. You are right.
On the topic of your third question, whether the two-headed gloompincer or the mutant mangler would win in battle, I don't know about this. First of all, I have never seen either of them. Secondly, the two of them don't even appear in the same unauthorized book.
Which means you and your friend are equally matched. As for whether you two make up or not, that’s none of my business. That's something you'll have to do yourself. Also, there's no need to force him to 'seriously read the great hero Asbestos's books'. He'll read them if he's interested. I only wrote about my travels to record my experiences, impressions, and the sights I've seen. If you love them that much, I suggest you go see them for yourself. Who knows, maybe we'll run into each other. Maybe you'll be able to see even more than I have.
Finally, I have included with my reply the Asbestos and Two-headed Gloompincer miniatures I got for free with those unauthorized volumes, which you can share with your friend. If you really want to make up with him, it'd probably be better to play with him than try to prove that you're right. Hope you enjoy your time with him.
Ah, yes, there's no use replying to this letter, since I'm setting off to Columbia tomorrow. I won't be able to receive it.
