TORI
Captain Keller, the fourth, of the independent cargo vessel Chimera. Admiral Keller the third in some bizarre parallel dimension where where up is down and space is made of cheese, and sole heir to the mighty Keller Dynasty. Hi there. How’s it going? I know what you’re thinking. What happened? Maybe my parents jinxed me by calling me Victory. Personally I think the fun gene just finally managed to beat off the stuffy killjoy gene that is strong in my family. I can’t say I’m complaining. I have it pretty good here. I have my own ship - well, 10% of my own ship with a billion easy repayments to go, a crew that can’t argue back -
A robot whizzes past behind Tori.
