Agathon Higashi, The dutiful Martian #36 [Icarus - International run]

Interpretato da: M. V.

Toggle Work Group description

“Cooperating is often tougher than leading”


Icarus is a privately owned mining facility, but past events and an unstable political situation require a closer look on the mining operations. Both Earth and Mars sent their own delegations to keep a stable and trusted presence on the asteroid. Their main task is to ensure the extraction of precious fissile material proceeds as planned, and to see the agreed royalties are paid in full each month.
Both commissions are made up of top level personnel selected among the elite of their planet: high-tiered Diplomats in charge of the delicate inter-planetary relationships, Military personnel appointed to oversee security and Scientists entrusted with supervising studies in the Labs.
Being part of one of such delegation means representing one of the major powers operating in the Solar System, someone prepared for any challenge.

LOYALTY - CUNNING - VISION - DETERMINATION

Teaser:

Higashi grew up in a Martian military family, led by the example of an older sister. She taught A. everything about commitment and duty to Mars, to the family, to improving the life of the people on their planet. Thanks to her, A. is honest, even blunt, always aiming for the best result: A. believes in being accountable, conforming to the highest standards, leading by example, and bearing whatever consequences orders might bring. That’s why, when the older sister killed herself, A. didn’t believe that for a moment: she was involved in some confidential matter regarding Earth and was killed because of what she knew. The world threatened to come down on Higashi, everything A. believed in shattered, if it hadn't been for the deep commitment to the only family the marine was left with: the MMC and its values. In fact, Higashi is known for being honorable, loyal and dedicated, to the point of often feeling isolated even among the Marines themselves, and sometimes being looked upon as an arrogant ass. Integrity might well be A’s middle name, but flexibility nor compromise have a place there. Rigor might be a double-edged sword when looking for the truth that A. knows is out there, buried under all that earther load of lies.

Relations:

Is abashed on how Vodyakin   is steering away from such a family legacy and that the other doesn't understand how important is the MMC to everyone's safety, both from Earth and OPA. Higashi tries to lead the other by example, as the other's ideas are not going to help, are dangerously seditious towards orders and the establishment. Dove   is scary also for Martians, and even if obeying, Higashi keeps a respectful distance -even if they met in the past, as the other is preceded by the fierce reputation of a hound on the prey. Despite not knowing Suri   very well, it's pretty clear this one is just an earthling playing Martian. Higashi openly despise the colleague and believes that once a turn-coat, forever a turn-coat.
Maathai is a traitor to Mars and the martian dream, it's a duty to uncover the other's rebellious plots.
Higashi was stationed with T. Makimura   some years ago, a good marine who doesn't know how to behave. Kassad   has been one of Higashi's instructor, but has become a digrace for Mars. Knows Caron   back on Mars from some personal business and is anxious for a confrontation. Grudgingly respects Rozovsky  , for an Earther and a politician seems clean enough and able to keep a given word.
