Profile
Orphaned Survivor

The Megumi Yakushiji of 2188 was one of the 15 residents of the 2188 space colony. She was the daughter of the late Nozomu Yakushiji, and one of the last humans to escape Earth's nanomachine infection. She had no formal job on the colony, due to being an 8-year old orphan.

Story
Before the Nanomachine Infection

8 years before the Nanomachine Infection, Megumi Yakushiji was born as the daughter of Nozomu Yakushiji in 2180. Nozomu Yakushiji was a prominent member of the military, and comrades with Takatoshi Hijiyama and Juro Izumi.

On the Colony

Megumi Yakushiji was flown to the 2188 colony by her father, Nozomu Yakushiji. However, Nozomu was already infected with nanomachines when he arrived at the colony, and Takatoshi Hijiyama refused to let Nozomu or Megumi in through the airlock. Juro Izumi, knowing that Megumi may not be infected, decided to take a shuttle to retrieve her. With Megumi's life in Izumi's hands, they wait 24 hours in a shuttle together before returning to the colony, now proven uninfected.

Death

While it is currently unknown how the 2188 Megumi Yakushiji died, it can be inferred that she died before the Ryoko Shinonome and Tetsuya Ida.
