The captain, Gāo Yanmin, feels the tension in her chest rising. When she was young, she was assigned a maturity director as many prestigious families were in Zheisang. Her director, a cruel and stern person, drove her over the edge of depression and anxiety one too many times, causing her to lash out. She struck the director over the head with a priceless family vase, instantly killing them. When panic overflowed inside her, she entered a state of eerie calm and proceeded to drag the corpse out to a nearby patch of woodland, where she spent several hours digging a pit before burying the body.
A detention order has been issued pending her trial. Somehow, they've found her out. She doesn't regret it at all, nor does she sympathise with the family of the deceased. To let such a cruel force out against children... she considers herself to have acted justly.
What she regrets is the impact this will have on her crew. A select field of crew are indisputably assigned and directed by the ship's captain, not any corporate entity or hiring body. Absolute trust is placed in the captain to manage them efficiently, and allocate them to the correct stations. But now... whoever replaced her was just as liable to fire all of her selected crew, some of whom she had grown especially fond of during her two years of work.
Yanmin thinks on her past choices. Who she appointed in the top positions on LVFdS.
As Top Navigations Officer, she chose:
>Marina Albrecht, a level-headed woman fresh out of a senior-level course.>Danica Weltz, a stern but rowdy older officer with years of experience.As Head Starsling Engineer, she chose:
>Aiko Hirata, an exceptionally kind but somewhat bumbling middle-aged woman.>Iris Bergsdóttir, a bitter war refugee with a prosthetic arm and no patience.As Ship Psychologist, she chose:
>Victoria Baychon, an analytically-minded and esteemed researcher of human condition.>Louis Fauber, a shrewd and clever doctor eager to please his superiors.As Security Chief, she chose:
>Bethany Klipp, a war veteran from Calford. Exceptionally loyal.>Suzie Sachezi, a brusque security officer with a decade of experience on LVFdS.
