Antari Scientist

Responsible for attending to Expeditions that use the Space Station as a base, the Antari Scientist is member of the werm project working out of the Space Station Lab.

The Antari Scientist is infested after successfully infesting the player with Starfish parasites on her breasts. She can then be fully infested with other parasites to create more or simply be ignored. If the player does not get Starfish from her they must wait until they are left under the desk during part 2.

Because she has the Starfish in her Lab it can safely be assumed she is working with Joan and possibly knows who the player is. For that reason it is likely a farce when she claims that the player is a thief sent to steal her research as it was never intended for Chet/Chloe to ever find out the scenario was staged.

Claiming the player is a thief is also in line with what Joan says later about someone trying to derail the work on parasite development as this is seemingly the only plausible way a stranger would be this close to the parasites. The exception of course being the truth- that she was allowed to as a test of the parasite's effectiveness with sentient hosts.

Finally if the Antari scientist actually believed the player was a thief sent to steal secrets it would be counter-productive to attach the starfish to the player's breasts. This would essentially be giving away the research as any organization brazen enough to infiltrate the labs would only do so once they had the means to reverse engineer the parasites.
