<p>Prophet aspect: Artemisians have been at this longer, start giving advice, etc, which influences the direction of the LV society for better or worse</p>
<li>Tycho Brahe - astronomer, in a bit of hot water for answering without consulting, chosen as delegate while handled by True Name’s stanza</li>
<li>Codrin Balan - clerk for meetings, historian for info coming from remote ship</li>
<li>Tycho Brahe - overwhelmed, gawking tourist, trying to glean as much astronomical knowledge as possible, almost uninterested in Artemisians qua Artemisians</li>
<li>[several Artemisians] - society is like comprised of four different species gathered along the way, they are shaped like lizards skiltaire human-ish post-natural taur-types (original species), all went post natural but first went post-biological (beyond implants) before uploading/launching; mostly just the five, but some are seen outside in common sim: room/tower is DMZ<ul>
<li>Stolon - translated name from something like root runner - lizard</li>
<li>Iska - kind of a hissing, spitting noise, but goes by that - skiltaire</li>
<li>Artante Diria - fairly similar family name setup - humanish</li>
<li>Turun Ka - similar to Jonas clade naming scheme - post-biological</li>
<li>Agree to fall into trajectories that aren’t diverging so quickly (using attitude jets and angling solar sail, though Castor is still moving slower and has little chance to catch up/Artemisians don’t want to slow down)</li>
<li>Decide that same representatives on both </li>
<li>Artemisians upload into dmz to meet with amanuenses, Answers Will Not Help, and True Name. Lots of discussions.</li>
<li>Climax??? Maybe there is a subversive faction of both humans and aliens who figures out how to break through the DMZ on each? Or perhaps humans are invited to join the other 4 species on the ship, also expand the DMZ (can’t/won’t change it from one-way, but folks can send forks into it to live, communicate through perisystem border. Codrin finally figures eir shit out so ey can make the proposal to also send forks to the DMZickles Dear because can’t merge forks back</li>
<liclass="done0"> Codrin not sure how ey feels about always being the amanuensis for everything big. Not tired, really, but frustrated?</li>
<liclass="done0"> Tangents/interludes throughout about how The History and Mythos affected launch-side society, maybe also sys-side via transmissions</li>
<liclass="done0"> Codrin struggles with feeling completely reactive and unable to be proactive. It’s not that ey doesn’t want to take on the project, but ey feels obligated to; it’s not that ey can’t decide whether or not to join the Artemis, but that ey can’t do so unless Dear and its partner do so first. Eir character arc is that ey gets over that.</li>
<liclass="done0"> Artemisians don’t have forking (except for very special cases like representatives), but have time management and reproduction (even between species)</li>
