<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>[four aliens] - visitors/emissaries, learning about system, humans, life, etc, got their own subtle machinations going on</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Remote ship:<ul>
<li>Tycho Brahe - overwhelmed, gawking tourist, trying to glean as much astronomical knowledge as possible, almost uninterested in aliens qua aliens</li>
<li>[several aliens] - society is like [something], they are shaped like [something], they are originally from [somewhere] but they were post-biological (beyond implants) before uploading/launching</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/aliens don’t want to slow down)</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.</li>
