About

Commander; First Officer of ISV Endurance. Critically wounded in the sabotaged shakedown fold (a beam across the skull, –4); placed in an induced coma by Soto, who "staked her arithmetic on it" that he would wake; comatose through in the alcove at the back of a twelve-bed sick bay holding nineteen. Wakes in The Wrong Side across the days after Sloane's death (he begins to speak on the second night; Soto orients him to 1 October 2241), takes the ship as officer commanding (; the 16 November 2241 watch log in his name), and after four deputations stands the command down himself and recommends its transfer to Mercer — the crew chooses Mercer over him.
