Traveler crew member, nine years into tour of duty, applying for surface transfer. Has been in irregular text communication with an unknown surface contact through a side-channel in the ship's relay for eleven months. The most interesting thing in his current life.
Born on the Traveler. Has been to the surface three times. Has been thinking about what he might be missing for nine years and is applying for a transfer to find out. The reason is not dissatisfaction. It is a form of curiosity he has not been able to resolve any other way.
Eleven months of irregular text communication with an unknown surface contact through a side-channel in the Traveler's relay. Text only, deliberately non-identifying. He has been responding because the communications are the most interesting thing in his current life. He knows what that tells him about his current life.
On duty rotation, engineering deck. The repair patches on the institutional blue-gray map his career across the ship's sections. Three expired post IDs on the lanyard alongside the current.
