Yuri Zavoyski

Yuri Kravchski is a character heard on the Ascension radio messages. He was an assistant to Gersch until he was transferred, due to his alleged delays and setbacks on the Gersch Device. Yuri clearly stated his resentment over the transfer, as he claims his intellect is being wasted "blasting a bunch of monkeys into the atmosphere!" He then finds a diary (presumably by Dr. Maxis or another of the Group 935 researchers) pertaining to Element 115 in some boxes (presumably confiscated from Der Riese), which he then experimented with in secret ("Away from the destructive hands of Gersch!"). Possibly due to his experimenting, Samantha Maxis then began to take control of his mind, driving him insane (like Richtofen with "The Voices") until he broke down, and agreed to something with her, (possibly by finishing the Gersch Device to her specifications, as he later admits to Gersch that he "can't take all the credit"). Yuri then tricks Gersch into activating the completed Device, where something (possibly Samantha?) drags the latter into a black hole. Yuri then laughs in triumph, but then panics as he realizes the consequences, screaming "No!" and "What have I done?!"
