Crew
|
Jun Park
Flies the surface hops and the Level 1 runs out to the L5 stations. Prefers to fall most of the way down and brake hard at the end. |

Maya Reyes
Keeps the D-T reactor fed and fussed over. Tops up the tritium tank at every refinery stop, because a neglected tank is a sign of a sloppy crew. |
