Captain Vollmer

These are interesting times we exist in indeed! Finally, after hundreds of cycles after a near extinction event that, to this day, has left our civilization with a galactic sized mystery and source of insecurity as a species, we are now in a place to begin asking questions. A think tank has been created and freelancers evaluated for field research.
Yet for every step forward, for every new clue uncovered, we meet resistance, even hostility. To that end, we must draw others to the cause, making allies and friends. And, if scientific protocol is to be observed, these persons of interest must be meticulously cataloged! Today it is my distinct pleasure to start the process off with the honorable Captain Vollmer.
CAPTAIN VOLLMER
Home Station: Tau Station Affiliation: Consortium Role: Security
Captain Vollmer is a native of Tau Station, born and bred there. He received his training in security directly from the Consortium military service and very quickly became a career officer. He earned a number of commendations during his early days, leading raids and helping establish a more secure station for its residents.
It has been reported that the Captain is both staunchly law abiding, as well as enforcing. At the same time, we have found him to be a helpful personality who seems to go out of his way to help citizens when they come to him with unusual requests or interesting problems. Recently, for example, he was instrumental in stamping out a rather ingenious hacking scheme, reportedly with the help of an outsourced professional.
I would conclude this report by stating that Captain Vollmer, in this analyst’s most humble opinion, will be invaluable for our own purposes. His expertise in all matters of security and investigation, as well as his willingness to go above and beyond, especially should his own curiosity be titillated, can be harnessed as a real boon to our own investigations.

Cur8

Humanity is finally moving on from the bare struggle for survival, into an era where hope can once more resurface. However, there is still much work to be done, and so we look to individuals who may prove to be key players in improving our future! Last time we focused on the righteous Captain Vollmer, a person of convictions and actions, and now we’re happy to present another candidate – the likeable android Cur8.
Androids, gynoids, and xynoids have the potential to be staunch allies in our quest for answers. There is much we don’t know about them, despite Benevolent Dynamics’ best efforts, but that doesn’t mean we should ignore our mechanical brethren! In addition to being unable to cause us harm thanks to the rules that govern them, if we pique their curiosity we may be able to secure their assistance.
Cur8
Home Station: Orwell Stronghold Affiliation: Independent Role: Work Allocation for Benevolent Dynamics
Orwell Stronghold is a station of scientific discovery, but it also requires the work of more pedestrian individuals to keep things running – no matter how advanced their cleaning robots and ration dispensers are, someone needs to clean spillages! Cur8 works to ensure everyone in Orwell is ideally matched to their job, and happy with the work they’ve been assigned, a task that seems unusual for an android.
As an individual, Cur8 has a calming presence, with refined speech patterns and comforting gestures, although these are somewhat undermined by the repetitiveness of his physical motions. His work within Benevolent Dynamics has encouraged other androids, gynoids and xynoids to seek more official positions, including his partner Qui9, now a Humanoid Support Worker. In dealing with such personal issues such as job satisfaction, Cur8 has proven that androids can work with people’s feelings - even if they sometimes require outside help.
As someone with an intimate knowledge of Orwell and Benevolent Dynamics, Cur8 would be an important asset to us. He seems devoted to his organisation and unwilling to go outside of the confines of the rules, so caution is advised. Perhaps framing requests as a collaboration to improve quality of life, both biological and mechanical, will make them more appealing.
