“Whatever happens, we know”

Unlike what most people believe, space is no silent place. Constant chatter, background noise and different kinds of transmissions need to be managed, isolated, filtered, received and decoded. Radar & Comms operators are the eyes and ears of the station, as well as being the only authorized way to communicate with the outside.
Personnel in this room is the very first to know what’s happening on the station and in the space beyond it. That’s why they are often required to keep the space around Icarus under control, identify incoming vessels and receive or transmit any type of transmission.
Every Radar & Comms operator is a patient, focused and perceptive expert, perfectly capable of keeping the station’s communication schedule. Their primary task is to keep clear and viable lines of communication with the company, the Belt, Earth and Mars. Moreover, Kowmang considers itself a caring family, and knows how tough life on an small asteroid can be for its employees. The management understands the needs for personal communication, that’s why Radar & Comms has been authorized to accept and forward a limited quantity of personal messages, so that the employees can hear from their loved ones and feel less lonely.

PATIENCE - FOCUS - ALERTNESS - RESPONSE

Teaser:

Every man or woman who served will tell you the same thing: it's hard to be something else when you give up being a soldier. The past haunts you with vivid dreams of atrocities, your mind gets filled with remorses and second-guessing. The ones who once respected you, turn their backs on you now. G. Caron knows this very well. After a tragic mission a couple of years ago, the former gunnery sergeant just wasn't the same, and could not honor the uniform anymore. But that wasn't the end of it: the soul was forever tainted by the past, and the scars failed to heal. The fear of flying is still there, and the sleepless nights as well. Now Caron tries to find some peace of mind as a radar operator on the rebuilt mining station. Handling communication with the outside world, trading messages coming from homes and families seems to bring some solace to this tormented soul. The shame in other martian's eyes is almost gone, and Caron holds a quiet and respected position in the new community. Perhaps this life could work out int the end. Perhaps Caron will be able to mend the wounds of the past... until the next time another nightmare will awaken the past.

Relations:

On Mars Caron knew Higashi   as a member of a family of dutiful martian militaries. When in the army Caron served together with Sobotka  , and they both went through their share of hell. Caron had enough of it, and left the army to get hired on the Slingshot by D. Whedon   but the two didn't get along.
Among the comm station colleagues, Ibanez   is just a loud mouth: you can't find solace in all those empty words. Caron works well under Anders  : a solid boss, keeping mind only to work, not distracted by silly gossips. Raisin   seems to be driven by good intentions, but doesn't know when it's time to back off. Still, it would be nice to open up to someone, and the colleague is known to be a good ear but not a gossiper.
