I have read

  • Maya Voss-Keda

    Systems technician, Facility Sigma-12

    MedianFirst appears · Book One

    Twenty-eight, and the seventh generation of the Lineage of Sanctuary. Maintains the atmospheric systems and files honest reports about dishonest things. Reads rooms the way other people read faces, lays her tools out in a fixed order, and carries a brass key that opens nothing.

  • Lord Cassius Vex

    Councillor
