Izayoi Sendo – known as the Sentinel Ishi to the organization Firewall – was one of the best operatives the group possessed.  Ishi was an Argonaut by birth, and a Gatecrasher by trade.  Ishi had the benefit of being raised in the outer system – more specifically Saturn (though she was not a Titanian).  She eventually made her way to Titan, though, and got a job for herself working for Gatekeeper, who controlled the original Pandora Gate.  As an Argonaut, Ishi had a certain scientific and technical expertise that was welcome to the extrasolar exploration company.  Her primary specialty was in forensic archaeology, helping to find out what happened to other discovered civilizations – like the Iktomi.  They had been her pet project for a long time.<br/><br/>At least, until Firewall found her.  When it did, it wasn’t so hard to convince the girl that transhumanity needed protecting.  She’d seen plenty a thing that would have harmed her if it hadn’t been for the business end of her shredder, or Direct Action A30 submachine gun.  And she had vivid memories of the Fall and how the TITANs had wiped out so much of their race.  Ishi had signed on, gladly, willing to help out however she could.  She put her studies into the Iktomi on hold and redirected her energies into the TITANs, as well as picking up a few more disciplines that might help in her work.<br/><br/>As part of Firewall’s sentinels, she had been part of many, many exoplanetary investigations and missions – primarily from Pandora, but after a time, she made her home on Portal – the only exoplanet to connect to three of the five known gates.  She stayed in her niche, and that was what she did.<br/><br/>She never should have agreed to her current mission.  Someone had gone missing – someone Firewall needed to find – and Ishi had been in a prime position to look for them.  They were on Venus, and Portal connected to the Vulcanoid Gate near Mercury.  She was experienced, cautious, and above all…an unknown factor in the inner system.  Almost perfect.<br/><br/>The early part of her mission had gone right.  She’d set up a hiding hole for herself on a Venusian hab, and with Firewall assistance, gotten most of her equipment into it – the rest was back on Portal.  She’d found the target and made the initial set of reports.  Then, the time had come, she had to infiltrate the place the target was being held and get her out.  Before she did, she left one last log, letting anyone who might have to follow her what she’d learned.  It was not pretty, but she was certain she would make it out alright.<br/><br/>Of course, if she had, we wouldn’t be here…
