Igliim is a bit of a hard boiled character. 8 years in the Star Marines made him completely at home in microgravity and spacecraft. 8 years of working undercover has given him sharp eyes and a few tics. (Yes, I believe he does know of the Belters Freedom Alliance, ahem…someone might recognise him, but he will insist that it wasn’t him.) He drinks a lot and even smokes. His ungroomed appearance and rude slang belies a professional behaviour. Though when sober he can be seen to have a few twitches and tics. He can dress up when needed, in fact he can put together a costume for many different places. But, working with the ‘scum’ around the Glisten subsector has definitely rubbed off on him. In the card games he likes (spades, which he cheats at), to the holovids (raunchy dramas), and transport (no car). While he hasn’t visited Tsarina in a couple years, he does stay in touch with his sisters.

Much of this tiny world’s terrain is dusty desert plains, swept by the thin winds that result from a short rotational period. The populace are insular to the point of being downright surly, and resent even the traders who bring them luxury items for trade. Maybe they are hiding something? Maybe they have cooler stuff than just the exquisitely embroidered cloaks and sandals. Perhaps there are ruins that they contemplate while drinking their "blood-chai" and smoking? Perhaps there are massive subterranean caverns concealing signs of early settlements including preserved spacecraft? But, we may never know, as their own dogma restricts this knowledge. Maybe Igliim knows but thinks nothing of it. Or when he does, he remembers some initiations, and he drinks...

"Protected Forces Training" means training while wearing protective suits. So in the Marines that would fit in with practicing microgravity ops around a Battleship being refitted. Sayaka being a small craft pilot works well. Igliim's first term, he was a wannabe tough guy learning the ropes. He would have appeared a bit of a hayseed, though from a famously scary place.

Sayaka at this time is probably enjoying anything that gets her away from paperwork - in particular if she's assigned to transport marines around and allowed/encouraged to do various wacky manoeuvres normally not recommended. Definitely a bit more excitement than making sure all of the 63 mm bolts are accounted for. Sayaka is quite relaxed at this stage and more approachable than the 'typical' naval pilot. She will listen with interest to youthful brashness and the exploits of marines, seemingly enjoying their company more than her fellow officers. Before the arrest, she kept a deliberate distance, but the lines got more blurry after. Sayaka, is probably more than a little worried about him. Igliim is probably wondering why Sayaka would even return his holo calls. But, stay in touch they do, at least intermittently. That's a potential context that they could hang out, the fencing gym.

During his early time as a mercenary Commando with the Varangian Guard he was used in a lot of short duration gigs and was used as a reconnaisance specialist for special ops. Later though, they got a few contracts to take out pirate crews, which he had practiced before in the Sword Worlds particularly. (With Darian on some ops in fact.) I was imagining Bridin seeing Igliim a couple years before the war, when he was trying to get out of Tirem with several wounded team members, no uniforms, and a lot of expensive kit. Then again more recently, spotted him as part of a group of radical BFA/ pirates, covered in tattoos/ paint, drug use etc. (Ciaran) He was referred to as a "bad penny" or a "spiker", someone who boards ships as a saboteur for pirate crews. His connections and work took him into the orbit of Bridin’s ex-husband. A few of those mutual connections might have gone missing over the last eight years (prison or air lock).

After this time he became enamoured of a cause. In fact it was the belters that he had come into contact with on Tirem. Though, when he mentioned that he wanted to help out they were suspicious.
