Formal Introductions
I fear we’ve been a touch unprofessional in our handling of this account, perhaps this is merely an exercise in frivolity now, but for the sake of clarity I believe formal introductions are in order. To that end, hello! My name is Trevor Sharpe, Executive Officer aboard the UNS-LS Nazareth and a piece of the Milliéa Diplomatic Arm. A number of… unique complications will keep me from disclosing information about my homeworld for some time, as it happens to be in the early stages of contact with all other society across the orion arm, and my current goal as a diplomat is to discern if a place in this Union is a favorable step for us to make as a people.
A bit about myself, I am a very, very early example of what your people might now call a “facsimile clone,” produced under the All Mankind Initiative- a program meant to generate funding and public support for the creation of the generation ship Endeavor before the great collapse. Before that, I was a pilot in his majesty’s royal air force during a conflict that was (at the time) referred to as the “second world war.” I believe myself to be… perhaps the last remaining Englishman as my homeland, my mother tongue, and most of my old life have (to my knowledge) disappeared into the sands of time. Sad as that may be, I’ve made quite the life for myself in the modern era thus far. The Nazareth and her crew make a fine home, and I struggle to see myself doing anything other than the first response work we commit ourselves to. Miss Soror and Captain Samson have been showing me the ropes of "piloting" as it exists today (I've been given rein of an old GMS Everest). Archaic as they are, the skills of my previous life translate relatively well in its cockpit. Lovely as this is, I do find myself missing home often, and dealing with certain “growing pains” being so far removed from my time. If any of you have books you think worth reading for a total stranger to your world, insights into popular culture, pieces of music you’re fond of, tea recipes, and otherwise bits and pieces of “home” you’d like to share- please, send them my way. I’m quite eager to see myself as “part of the world.”

My warmest greetings to you, whoever you are. I am Callsign Soror of the UNS-LS Nazareth. I doubt I’ll have as much to say about myself as Trev, in part because I like to maintain a certain amount of anonymity on the net. I am Simian, originally- and of a relatively prominent family in the Dawnline Region (though I won’t say which one). Formerly of a highly prominent free company, and an alumni of the Hokori Enclave’s BLU/EYE program, I'm (with respect to the other pilots aboard) the ship’s only real Kuriasser. Due to a number of physical and psychological health issues as a result of the program's approach to augmentation, I defer to Revy (Captain Samson) as a sort of informal “handler,” though I’d describe the position I’m in as being rehabilitative more than anything else. There's some chance I discuss those experiences more on this account, though I often find them somewhat embarrassing to revisit.
In addition to my skill as a pilot, I’m relatively well learned in business, law, history, and culture (at least the things that matter). I doubt you’ll see my doing anything particularly serious here- I only ever log into the account to have fun. If you're interested in a little commentary from the perspective of a Kavalier (or lancer, as I suppose I am now) you might find some of the things I have to say of interest to you.

Of course, that leaves me. If I'm being honest, there's probably a whole lot to say so I'd be wise to try and be concise. My name is Revy Atticus Samson (as has been stated). I'm from a place called Tejas out along the Himalaya line, some of y'all Northstar folks might know it as there's a pretty big shipping lane that runs through there. I'm an engineer, a theologian, and a novice political theorist when I really manage to convince myself I'm hot shit. My job though is the running of this ship, which I think I do pretty well most of the time.
A couple of y'all's grandparents, or great grandparents- or maybe even a little further back might know who I am, or at least know who "Kingmaker" is, if you get them talking about the old days of the revolution. I designed frames for the entity that would eventually become "Thirdcomm," and was a pilot in a time before the "lancer," as y'all understand it really existed. I won't get too into the bullshit here, but I was kinda the poster boy for Union, at a certain point in time.
I'm about as cosmopolitan as they come, and obviously all that above is of a different era. I've held a number of positions since, and (relatively speaking) being a naval officer is something of a new development. I previously worked in a position much closer to centcomm, and still have very strong opinions on the modern state of things there and the ███ ███████ liberals who █████████ █████ ██ ███████████ the ██████ █████████, smearing ████ ██ ███ ███████ and ███████ ████ ██ █████ ██████ █████.
Maybe against my better judgement I still consider myself something of a believer in the cause Union represents. If nothing else, I believe that of all the powers in the arm this one does the most good, and despite my frustrations I have no reason to truly abandon it. Love and light to you folks reading this, and may the seas lie smooth before you. [Samson]
