About
Pilot and security aboard the NV Dawnward, and the crew's living memory of what the abundance cost in blood. A veteran of the consolidation wars that secured the peace the young idealists were raised inside, he is tired of paying for other people's ideals, and says so.
The crew's living memory of the blood the abundance cost — "he fought the ugly decades that secured the abundance," too young for the The Reach cascade war itself. His conviction (upstream): "ideals get paid for by people who didn't get a vote." Not bitter — "just done paying, and he took the quietest good job he could find."
