Ovsol.Nestmile.Nivium.Cibo.18.Avrora

18th awakening of the Cibo twig of the Nivium branch family of Nestmile.
Icy New Life of the Neosiran Taiga on her first solo mission shepherding a self-piloting ship to Krill carrying 23,000 tons of raw gene-silk and unwittingly accepted an offer to be an approximately local guide to none other than the newly installed Margrave.
Hilarity almost certainly ensues.

  • Virtue: Probably immune to poison
  • Vice: Confusion and naivety
  • Rank: Not even a peasant but a foreigner!
  • Allies: None
  • Enemies/Rivals: None (?)
  • Aspirations and Goals: It seemed like fun and a good source of experiences, now just survive this pit of snakes (thankfully I'm probably immune to poison)
  • The Empire has good customers for things Nestmile produces.
    • It's all so very inefficient. Analogue controls, really?
    • The formatting of the Monadist faith demonstrates poor compatibility with the Salvation Code despite kernel-level equivalencies
  • Poison Resistance: Made of hyperplastics and composites
  • Feats of Strength: Cinematically absurd
  • Computer Hacking: Making it look easy
  • Melee Fighting: Electromagnetic Bajiquan
  • Sensorium: Did you know I can see through walls?
  • Drive Kernel Tuning: I can literally see Ahab Waves
  • Imperial Technology: Not her passion
  • Range Weaponry: A decent shot
  • Merchant: Mostly still book skill
  • Bureaucracy: Imperial functionaries are infuriating
  • Politicking: Naif
  • Protocol: Rapidly out of her depth
  • Streetwise: Rapidly out of her depth
  • Incorrect Assumptions: Top Marks
