Six people. One ship. Forty-seven light-minutes from the nearest relay.

The USEF Parhelion is one of the first ships in human history fitted with a working metric drive. She can fold the space ahead of her and be at a neighbouring star in weeks. She's not a warship. She's not a colony ship. She's pointed at the edge of everything humanity has ever known.

You're one of the crew.

✦   CREW OF THE PARHELION   ✦

✦   WHO ARE YOU?   ✦

The Parhelion carries six crew. You're the seventh.
Your role is yours to decide — here are some ideas.

PILOT
You fly the ship when Rose needs her hands free. You know the Parhelion better than almost anyone — the way she handles, the sounds she makes before something goes wrong. Petra respects you without saying so.

SCIENCE OFFICER
The anomaly is technically your problem. You work alongside Yumi and spend a lot of time staring at data that shouldn't exist. You were the first one to notice the reading hadn't moved.

ENGINEER'S MATE
You work under Leo. He doesn't say much but he's never asked you to leave the bay, which around here counts as high praise. You know which sounds are fine and which ones aren't.

MISSION SPECIALIST
USEF sent you for a reason they haven't fully explained to the rest of the crew. Rose knows. She hasn't decided how she feels about it yet.

MEDIC'S ASSISTANT
You work with Yumi. She doesn't need the help — she's made that quietly clear — but she tolerates your presence, which means she's decided you're worth keeping around. That's more than most people get.

NO FIXED ROLE
You're crew. That's enough. Some people on long missions stop being their job title after the first year. You're just someone the Parhelion kept.
