Do you want the astrobiologist to actually learn the answer? That is, it's the main enigma for the campaign? Or is that just a driving motivation for the character to get out and explore?
Thanks! I'll check out Secrets of the Ancients. Looks like it's available as a free download from Mongoose.

I don't have a problem with her learning the answer, but from a realistic perspective it seems unlikely she'd be able to do it without a vast amount of financing and a long period of peace. The woman playing her is a scientist herself, so she understands that if we play the game realistically, the character may never find out the answer. I do like the idea if we pick up playing in the Third Imperium a descendent of hers does discover the truth.
