==Biography== | |||
Roman was born in the [[United States of America]] in [[2034]]. A child genius, Roman attended [[Berkley University]], from where he graduated by age seventeen with a bachelor of science in Physics, a bachelor of Arts in English and a master of science in Physics. He decided to sign up with [[NASA]] after reading about their search for astronauts in the university newspaper. | |||
Roman was accepted as an astronaut in [[January]] [[2051]] and began a two year training and evaluation period, excelling in every field. He was the youngest member of the Bowie Base mission, noted for an instinctive talent for mechanics. | |||
In 2059, while escaping from Bowie Base One, he was infected by [[The Flood (The Waters of Mars)|the Flood]] when a single drop of water fell on his cheek. He warned [[Adelaide Brooke]] and the remaining members just before he changes. Mia screams and sobs as he is infected, but Yuri restrains her, and so they all make for the shuttle. After his transformation, Roman and the other infected personnel went to the glacier and screamed so they could crack the ice. Roman and the other infected personnel were killed when Adelaide blew up the entire base. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Waters of Mars (TV story)|The Waters of Mars]]'') | |||
