Background

CUMMINGS @GreenSnake "I'm not usually late folks." Is heard just as another avatar appears in the virual room. The avatar is of a slender male in a tight racing costume from the last century. There is an apparant tic from a slightly misaligned communications antennae perhaps. The grey jumpsuit has a black X on his pocket and he is wearing a blindfold. "Heard that you could use some help and I have some community service time to rack up as it happens." He gives a very pleasant smile. The avatar is recognizable now, some may remember it from an art installation that was underground-popular a decade ago. The pilot of a very souped up hopper impacting a wall at high speed. RacerX "I can help with any transport and access type issues you might have. I've been to Heinlein before, though it was a while ago."

Other aspects they use for XP recording as a minor influencer are "Red Dragon" a mercenary/influencer, contacts on Heinlien Station (Cheyenne et al). "Blue Cheer" is an adventurer/ influencer striving for the top. Largely burned on the last Martian Op.


Ringu Immelman

Years ago, flying through the mountains and islands of the Philippines, Ringu was in his happy place, dropping off hikers, sightseers, occasionally government surveyors and what have you. On these trips he met a young artist, Chelle, they painted and photographed life and nature. Sometimes they brought in destructive elements that showed their fears of the fragility of it all. Over their years together Ringu took up art as well, to help him relax and later actually sold a few pieces.

When the crash happened Ringu and his friends were unemployed and trying all kinds of scams. At first there was still some market activity but that quickly fell away and they joined the thousands of destitute in SE Asia.

Ringu was a late escapee from Earth, not only did he escape by accident but was only ransomed by accident as well. The double good luck thing did his head in. He had lost everyone. After years of working and searching he did find an uncle, whom he had never met, who got him trained piloting cargo ships throughout the solar system.

Suddenly his sponsors appeared, the ones who had helped with his uploading and threatened to send a fork to ruin his new life. The sponsors were Extropian based Pirates. Resigned to his new life at first, he learned the ropes and then went over to a contract with Gorgon running ‘small packets’ and turning on his former sponsor/ kidnappers. There is enough bad blood to go around.

Throughout, Ringu has been a gregarious and humorous comrade to his friends. A bit of a hard bargainer to others. Lifeforms tend to have a positive response as well as memory of dealing with Ringu.
