Human Security Officer

Sergeant Cole Vasek

A veteran soldier who trusts his gut — and his gut says the command is lying.

Backstory

Cole is the Arca Mundi's head of deck security — a former UNEDF special operations soldier who took the Compact's contract because he wanted to be part of something historic, not because he believed in corporate space colonization. He is practical, loyal to his people rather than to rank, and deeply suspicious of the command structure's handling of the Deck Nine lockdown. His developing feelings for Dr. Osei are real and distracting, and his friendship with the ship's AI administrator MIRA has given him access to data he was never supposed to see.
