Midnight Blue web comic cast.

This cast list is *very* incomplete.. as more characters are introduced and more information is revealed, these will be updated.


Main cast -

Benton Hemlock

Aka 403

Bio : Benton's career, such as it is, is composed of three-to-twelve month postings in many roles both around the world (and several off-world contracts too). But she's never gone far on the career ladder except sideways.

She's a jack of all trades, but mostly a technologist.

When she finishes up with the Chiron platform, she'll need a new gig, so when that happens please send info on upcoming roles to benton.hemlock@temp.chiron-pansolar.com.sol.earth. Benton would prefer a situation off-world. She's not really a people person.

Past : When quite young, Benton had a state of the art Skullpod, a neural interface, implanted into her brain. It was deactivated ten years ago after the device caused her clinical death. She was revived, but it took her a long time to recover. It's always a shadow on her mind, figuratively and literally, and it cannot be removed without causing severe brain damage or worse.

Beatrice 'Bee' Sudakov

Bio : Bee is project manager, and it's her job to oversee the staff and contractors involved in the Spire refit. This includes Benton.

She's a likeable, happy person who wants to make friends with her charges. Well, they'll be in each other's pockets for the next six months at least, right?

Bee has issues with technology though and really relies on her people to be honest in their reports.

Bee's single, too. Not that that has much to do with anything. In fact, don't even mention it. But if you want to send her a resume please send an email, with an attached headscan if possible, to Beatrice.Sudakov@corp.chiron-pansolar.com.sol.earth. She's looking for someone hard-working, intelligent, and funny.

Others -

Gatekeepers

Gatekeepers handle security on the platform. These jovial souls enforce both physical and electronic security. They see and hear potentially everything. They have access to a constant stream of information and status reports via their wireless 'Steel Butterfly' headcomms, coming through in a heads-up display, video, and audio.

Security is everything at Chiron Pansolar. Gatekeepers don't always have the resources, but they do have the access and the justification to do almost anything to protect the corporation, the data, and the thousands of souls on the platform.
