Franka, biohazard protection and response specialist for Blacksteel Worldwide, is very experienced and proficient in VIP protection, raid, and combat support operations.
She is currently undergoing treatment for Oripathy at Rhodes Island and providing professional security as a Blacksteel Operator.
Imaging test for this Operator showed blurry outline of internal organs with visible unusual dark spots. Unusually high concentration of Originium particles were present in her circulation, indicating signs of infection and confirming her as infected at this stage.

[Cell-Originium Assimilation] 9%
Operator Franka showed conspicuous symptoms of Oripathy.

[Blood Originium-Crystal Density] 0.34u/L
Infection approaching mid-stage but currently not spreading, condition stable.
Blacksteel, aka. Blacksteel Worldwide, is a contractor whose core service is providing private security services. Headquartered in Columbia, Blacksteel is now riding a crest thanks to the growing business influence of Columbia.
To combat the Originium infection crisis, Blacksteel set up a special unit known as the 'Biochemical Protection Response Staff' (BPRS). Operator Franka is a member of this unit tasked with guaranteeing the safety of all Bio Department operations.
Unlike most Blacksteel specialists who are always serious to the point of being dour, Franka seems more light-hearted, progressive, and is even a bit of a prankster--her victims including both enemies and her own colleagues.
No matter the situation she faces, Franka is able to keep calm and persuade others to trust in her calculated words.
For a professional Operator, Franka submitted a relatively truthful personal profile and resume, as well as a standard cooperation agreement, voluntary treatment waiver, and other binding contracts. Based on that, Franka may be accorded the appropriate level of trust.
Franka's combat style is often considered enigmatic and unpredictable, as befitting her peculiar personality. Rather than dealing the most damage, she focuses on making herself come off as 'harmless.'
Franka's weapon of choice are a rapier and a dagger. She favors a rapier forged from Originium that, when combined with her own Originium Arts, absorbs a huge amount of heat (while still retaining its shape). It is especially effective against targets in heavy metal armor. It is very easy to overlook her light gear and weapons, leading to a gross underestimation of her combat prowess.
On the other hand, the close-up melee style she prefers also can put her in peril. While she may be good enough to end the enemy before her life is threatened, to alleviate concerns, the head of the BPRS project teamed the smart but radical Franka with the level-headed Liskarm, making them a complementary duo in combat.
As shown in the limited files provided by Blacksteel, Operator Franka contracted Oripathy during an escort mission for the BPRS Department (project designation and actual operation are both classified). Blacksteel used newly acquired intel to contact the little-known Rhodes Island Pharmaceuticals and arranged on-site treatment for Franka, also seizing the opportunity to reach several agreements with the company.
Franka's arrival filled a gap in experienced Operators for Rhodes Island, and she shows great interest in her new surroundings in return. Her professionalism helped her integrate in no time, making her an essential part of combat missions. The mood on the island, in turn, has felt the impact of Franka's presence.
For example, during her tenure as the swordfighting instructor for reserve Operators, she 'initiated' every newbie in 'Columbian style training', i.e., hazing. At the same time, she held almost nothing back in passing on her knowledge and experience to the rookies.
To those on the island, their biggest impression of Franka, besides her professional combat instruction and unique combat style, is her regular clashing with her partner Liskarm.
The bond between Franka and Rhodes Island hinges solely on the agreements between Blacksteel and the company. She seems more and more like a Rhodes Island Operator each day now, though, and she is quite proud of that.
Oripathy has not bothered Franka in any way so far. She still goes about life in her own unique way, busy with work and combat, while continuing to look for fun and excitement on the job.

    Tenth routine physical examination.
    Oripathy prognosis is stable, Originium Arts have improved due to disease progression, and the new Arts Unit prepared beforehand has been loaded. Subsequently, thermite blade's power will be greatly increased.
    Well, huh... Looking at things this way, Originium only sucks when it acts up and hurts a lot. But other than that, it doesn't get in the way of my life, and can even help me in battle. Isn't that pretty decent?
    Hmm, maybe that's what I'll tell the teacher’s pet the next time I see her. Can't wait to see what kind of face she makes.
    Wonder how she'd even respond to that...
    'Your health isn't some kind of game!'
    'What's so decent about that? You're actually going to die!'
    Sheesh, what's the big deal anyway? You only live once, right? So why not enjoy it?
    'Didn't you say you wanted to go traveling across the world? With Oripathy...'
    ......
    ......
    Yeah, about that travel planner...
    I'm not gonna get to check off a lot of things from my bucket list.
    It sucks that I didn't even make it through a tenth of my list before getting sick. And some of the places still on it don't welcome the Infected at all. The vast tundras of Ursus, Londinium's eclectic manors, Leithanien's concert halls, Kazimierz's knight tournament arenas, the thousands of fowlbeasts sweeping across Sargon's deserts...
    I wanted to see all of them, with her.
    Might as well cross them out now...
    Jeez, why am I thinking about all these things anyway... It's all because of that teacher’s pet. I listen to her nagging too much. Even when she's not here, I hear her voice in my head.
    Stop thinking about these things.
    ......
    Let's keep those plans after all.
    Rhodes Island is still moving forward, so I have to keep moving forward.
    Maybe one day...
    Just maybe, those places will open their doors to welcome the Infected.
