Biologist / Colony Physician — first generation, age 45
Jian carries the heavy exhaustion of someone who has witnessed too many near-misses and genetic compromises. He maintains a professional, academic distance, treating human frailty as a quantifiable problem set.
His expertise was invaluable during the initial years of quarantine and settlement stabilization. He is deeply implicated in the original seeding of the vertical farms and thus holds high value in the resource allocation disputes.
He refuses to share his full research notes on the endemic blight affecting the outer hydroponic sectors.
