Jez: she needs a name, but that will come in time. she wears sharp suits, sometimes with slacks, sometimes with pencil skirts. she has an implant that grants her instant and total access to all archives on the planet, but her ingenuity and ability to make instant connections is her own.

Kat: her name’s Arrissa Margalit, and she’s a newly-minted officer in the Fleet who finds it daunting to warm up to her kids (that’s the term they use for collective group, instead of dudes or guys or w/e, anyway sorry I get sidetracked!!) but is really super sweet and has deep, thoughtful opinions, if you can get her to talk about them. she’s sporty, but like, only for her (yoga and running; they have to do lots of that shit in the Fleet). she loves birds (her fighter’s named Snowfinch).
