Lance Grant

Backstory

Lance Grant spent fifteen years in deep-space military reconnaissance before transitioning to civilian exploration. He's pragmatic, decisive, and trained to recognize threats—qualities that made him invaluable to the Pluto expedition as security chief. But his military instincts were dismissed as paranoia when he first flagged inconsistencies in the aliens' behavior patterns. Now, as the crew's true situation becomes clear, Lance is haunted by the knowledge that he saw the danger coming and wasn't heard. He's determined to get the team off this planet alive, even if it means making choices that will haunt him forever.
