Mid-career Anchored recruitment engineer. Travels among Anchored institutional projects and SNG commercial-fleet working ports. Reads the working engineers; leaves marked Stave Press journal pages in break rooms; watches who picks them up; returns one or two years later if institutional reading suggests recruitment is possible. In OR series: 2137-2148 (institute years): External technical reviewer at the ISNI chamber-protocol working group across Anouk Vermeer's training years. Sixteen years older than Anouk; the institutional adult Anouk read as the one who would not flinch. (Per chapter 15 canon correction May 2026; earlier draft incorrectly framed her as Anouk's cohort-mate.) 2148: Left ISNI a year before Anouk (corrected – Anouk left 2148, Aoife left 2149). Institute issued cohort-mate bulletin entry with transferred outside fleet records tag.
