An expert in salvaging, Zip played a crucial role in the survival efforts. However, her time on Proteus was marked by tragedy; she died multiple times and was reprinted by the [[NoA]] (Network of Autonomous beings). Due to extreme retroviral infection, one reprinting used an older backup state, resulting in significant memory loss that erased her memories of friends like [[Nahema]] and [[Anita]].  -Zip's [[Blackboxes|blackbox]] located in the [[Graveyard Caves]] contains the **Kurul Level Access Key**, which is required to access a locked door in the [[Tadpole Pens]].+Zip's first blackbox, located in the [[Graveyard Caves]], contains the **Kurul Level Access Key**, which is required to open a locked door in the [[Tadpole Pens]].   ## Blackboxes  +Zip has two blackboxes located at different depths on Proteus.+ +![Zip Blackbox Location](wiki-images/e1/e188ff388743f0b270168dc7ed2eaa1b.png)+  | Image | Name | Location | Depth | Coordinates |-| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |+| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | ![300px](wiki-images/e1/e188ff388743f0b270168dc7ed2eaa1b.png) | Zip | In the [[Graveyard Caves]] | 300 meters | -303399, 449728, -30525 | | ![300px](wiki-images/e7/e72ebca00bec6c2b1fd11d2f68367d26.png) | Zip 2 | In the [[Karakorum Metal Farms]] | 470 meters | -137006, 395661, -47070 |   ## Databank Entries   ### Profile and Blackboxes   **Tziporah "Zip" Malk**-  *   **Gender:** F *   **Mission role:** EVA engineer, lead salvor *   **Pay rate:** Kurul [expired Mongolian Free States trademark for member of a leadership council] *   **Biography:** Veteran of multiple space construction projects in Mongolian Independent States.
