The Botanist.
Just five more minutes.
The escape route matters. But has anyone had a proper look at that fascinating little specimen?
BEHIND THE HELMET
A little about The Botanist.
Dreamy, warm and scientifically sharp. Easily distracted by something alive; very capable of noticing what everyone else misses.
THE ROAD TO OUTPOST 81
The Botanist is the fifth member of the crew sent to Outpost 81. She brings a scientist’s interest in living things, an imaginative streak and priorities that do not always line up with the maintenance droid’s.
A unicorn dream is an excellent reason to ask for more sleep. A remarkable specimen is an excellent reason to look twice. Neither, unfortunately, makes the air supply last any longer.
- Her place in the crew
- Scientist with a specimen pack
- Dream interruption
- A unicorn and floating gardens
- Under pressure
- Still curious. Still collecting observations.
