At only 29 Krystka has more experience under her belt than her years would imply.  A native of Krakow, Poland, Krystka worked with the Krakow police for tow years before transferring to the bomb squad in 2017.  In June of that year, she was badly injured by a booby-trapped explosive found in a Hezbollah safe house in Gdansk, and carries a small piece of shrapnel in her left leg to this day.

Her injury put her in the hospital for weeks, and left her with a barely noticeable limp and a weakened endurance; it was enough to prevent her from continuing with GROM.  She left the unit later that year, seeing work in the civilian sector.  In 2020, after three years working in the civilian demolitions, she signed on with OrionTech.  Her official title is demolitions consultant and salvage specialist, but there is a reckless streak in Krystka that has limited her upward mobility.  She is coming aboard the McCurdy in an effort to show that she has matured.

Krystka's good looks and disarming smile keep the men happy and her innocent nature helps her befriend other women rather than making them jealous.  Her English is good, but her Polish accent is always present.  She knows commercial explosives and demolition techniques inside and out, and is a solid asset to the team even when no explosives are needed.  She is ambitious and a hard worker, is at hand without complaining.

Despite her injuries, she is unafraid of explosives and will taunt the rest of the team by throwing bricks of C-4 into open fires, or by molding and using pieces as candles.  This recklessness has earned her a somewhat shaky reputation, though she's yet to have a explosion that wasn't intended.
