Dr. Klaus Jäger is the lead of the hematology and radiobiology division at Luna Research Dome 4 (operational since 2109), having held the position since 2117. He is the lead author of the MHA-1 paper (2121) — the first full biochemical characterization of the “black blood” material reverse-engineered from tissue and notation samples recovered during the 2105 Dominium Hominis raid.
Jäger’s public candor about the research’s ethical origin — “the choice in front of us wasn’t between an ethical origin and an unethical one. It was between letting what happened to them produce nothing, or extracting something that might protect people who choose this work freely” — and his explicit invocation of Bondarenko’s Svarog programme precedent (“it buys time, the same way Bondarenko’s compounds bought time two generations ago”) made him one of the Era II record’s most ethically self-aware researchers. On the bone-density research line, he drew a hard line at embryonic application: “that crosses lines Dome 4 will not cross, full stop.”
