Sarah Andarsyn
CPD Officer of Titan Station
Sarah Andarsyn was a CPD officer aboard Titan Station and the girlfriend of the Unitologist agent Franco Delille. Unaware of his secret mission, she fought beside him through the early hours of the Sprawl outbreak before he betrayed and killed her to keep his task from being delayed.
Sarah Andarsyn was a CPD officer aboard Titan Station, the orbital city known as the Sprawl. She was the girlfriend of the engineer Franco Delille, and when the Necromorph outbreak began in 2511 she accompanied him through its early hours, fighting at his side as he carried out a series of repair tasks across the station. What she did not know was that Franco was an agent of the Church of Unitology, sent on a covert mission to free Isaac Clarke from the Titan Memorial asylum, and that her presence was the chief obstacle delaying it.
Service on the Sprawl#
Sarah Andarsyn served as a CPD officer aboard Titan Station and had previously worked with a partner named Hodgkens. Just before the outbreak she became involved when Franco Delille was ordered by his superior, Weaver, to repair a malfunctioning door at the CEC Facility, and she volunteered to accompany and assist him. On arrival Franco noted that the door appeared to have been deliberately tampered with rather than simply broken. As the two completed further repairs reported by other engineers, including a corrupted computer system that also looked sabotaged, they were drawn into a steadily worsening situation.
During a spacewalk to mend a damaged solar panel, Sarah teased Franco about his dislike of working outside the station and promised to keep him from drifting away. When he panicked and began to float free of the surface, she pulled him back. The pair narrowly escaped exposure to vacuum when a meteor strike breached an airlock seal as they returned. Soon afterward Weaver contacted them with word of an outbreak spreading across the station and ordered them into the field, and Sarah received a separate call from her old partner Hodgkens requesting help with a hostage situation involving a man named Armado Creeg.
The outbreak and her death#
As the outbreak deepened, Sarah and Franco fought their way through failing, lightless sections of the station, taking shelter at one point inside the Church of Unitology and passing through areas given over to the dead and dying. They saw groups of survivors slaughtered by the creatures, made for the hospital in search of others, and at one point uncovered a sealed room in a school filled with murdered children and a single trapped Necromorph, a horror that station command ordered concealed to prevent panic. Throughout it all Sarah grew increasingly troubled by the messages Franco kept receiving and by his evasive answers about who was calling him.
Sarah did not survive the outbreak. Although she repeatedly held off the creatures so that Franco could complete his repairs and reach safety, he ultimately turned on her rather than let her delay his mission any further, abandoning her on the wrong side of a sealing door or striking her down himself and leaving her to be overwhelmed. A later audio log recorded Franco coldly noting that his "partner situation" had been "resolved," a reference to her death.
