she works as a medium-level physics advisor on a space station, an industrial satellite orbiting a planet where its' unique gravitational energy is harnessed for space travel - however, she doesn't know if she wants to work there anymore. the isolated planet's population is unhappy with the energy being drained from their orbit, and the fly-in, fly-out workforce they think will abandon them to the mercies of a black hole once the extraction is done. however, her friend and coworker who used to hold similar concerns now seems to be buying the industry line, and people who say they'll quit the job always seem to mysteriously change their minds.

# data[].attributes.body
Horror / sci fi short story

# data[].attributes.body
Key personality trait is probably GUILT. So, she tries to offset that by minimising how much perceived burden she lets fall on other people, which generally means lying by omission.

She comes from a big family and has a very "let me handle this" attitude because of how much she's responsible for around the station & gang, but is also generally the funny one out of a group. Think your favourite English teacher kind of vibes.

Given she's often away from her family (two wives, two kids under 12), she has a hard time feeling like she fits in anywhere off the station, and especially feels out-of-the-loop. So she overcompensates, which often feels like criticism or looking for problems where none exist.

She's trying desperately to not fall back into her smoking and over-caffeinating habits again.

# data[].attributes.body
Thom is quiet and unassuming. Often introspective and desiring self-growth.

# data[].attributes.body
She hates bystanders and selfish people because they remind her of herself. She despises people who don't care when others are suffering. She dislikes alcohol, lies and bugs.

# data[].attributes.body
Lottie is essentially a space Fly In Fly Out worker, repatriated to Mars from Tranquility Station on Luna (i.e. mining colony over Tranquility Sea on Earth's moon) when the mine was shutdown because it was being fully automated. She's got a bit of a country vibe about her.

She has a prosthetic arm, from her own arm being torn off in a mechanical accident in her mid-teens while fixing a large bore drillhead attachment in the Luna workshops. She tinkers with it constantly, and has a love-hate relationship with it.

She's juggling a massive secret project which only one of her wives knows about, so is also dealing with the very real possibility she might come out of the project as a double-divorcee.

Likes winding wool or crocheting some trinket or other into her dreadlocks when she's got time to kill, or coding flash games on her tablet. Loves her a space shanty (also used to gauge time when all engineering spaces are full of overlapping alarms you can't keep track of).

Also likes setting off a thought experiment (read: argument) among the higher-ups in the engineering department (especially her second-in-commands, Nina and Matt) over radio comms when things are too quiet at the station. Reference Lovelace from WOLF-359 special episode 'Change of Mind'.
