But, like, what is everyone’s actual job on the project? Based on the output Maura read at the end we have 55 official crew members on the Space-Prometheus. It stands to reason, given Henry’s hyper focus on them (plus their proximity to Maura in the pod) our main cast may be in major crew positions?
So what are they?
Eyk, I’m guessing, could conceivably be ship’s captain. It would make the transition into the simulation easier and Sebastian (for all his low down sneaky…) shows him due respect most of the series. If Maura is heading the simulation, it would also put them in direct contact with each other as well.
My running bet is Clémence is the head of security. Jérome and Lucien are tied to a military background, and coupled or not, the three of them are closely associated with each other. Add to that her practicality jumping straight into pants for freer movement and it makes a weird bit of sense.
Virginia is clearly an administrator. Probably managing passenger transition/relocation on and off the ship.
The Anker family is a bit of a mystery, since we only see the parents and adult children in the pods. They could be legitimate passengers or any number of them could be misc. crew members and brought the rest of their family with them.
Olek obviously serves as a resident medic, medic’s assists, or counselor. With the exception of Maura, he’s the one character to directly aid multiple others in managing their distress. He also does so instinctively without considering the potential risks to himself first. While his technical skills maybe suppressed, that kind of compassion is really hard to fake and honestly he just kind of screams doctor after a while.
Any other suggestions?
