Two days!!! We’re two days from launch! Your books are probably in the mail right this very second on their way to your door! I’m freaking out! Are you freaking out? It’s okay, we can freak out together. I’m getting good at that.
My brain’s too psyched up to put together much of a coherent update today, so I’ll leave it simple this time and go right into our daily character update. So without further ado, let me introduce you to the next two members of the Tantalus 13 expedition: medical officer Dr. Ramanathan Bachal and Mission Commander Drake Gorrister.
The leader and the healer. The head and heart of the expedition. On a year-long expedition into the unknown, these are the two members of the crew you need to be able to trust the most. If anyone is expendable on this mission, it’s not these two. But just how reliable are they, really?
Ramanathan has a big heart and a long history of helping people, but that history is stained with tragedy and growing, untreated mental illness. If this physician can’t heal himself, can anyone truly be confident that he’ll be ready if tragedy strikes?
Gorrister is a lifelong company man. He’s lived, breathed, and bled Exotech all his life. A man of spreadsheets and checklists, Gorrister knows company regulations backwards and forwards. But when the mission they’d all signed up for becomes something beyond anyone’s expectations, can he adapt when things get messy? And if it came to a choice, where would his loyalties truly lie: crew or company?
Come read all about these two characters in the Explore section of my website, and get ready to see them in action in just two days!
