Kal Suri, The idealist #67 [Icarus - International run]

Interpretato da: E. P.

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:

Suri was born and raised on Earth, and grew up with the dream of being one of those few brave people who fight for a better future, to make a difference. An idealist, you could say. Unfortunately, this Earther realized all to soon that the beautiful blue planet was no place to follow those noble dreams, privileges are taken for granted by the people and damned politics corrupt every good deed. Over time Suri began to despise Earthers, lost friends because of the loud critics to their lazy and arrogant way of life, struggled with self-loathing, and in the end decided to leave.
Suri left UN agency and cut off every root, became and Earth immigrant on the Red Planet and joined the Martian army: believing in the great dream of a proud and prosperous Mars. Even if suffering had to be endured because of the rightful prejudices about Earthers, the marine was enthusiastic, effective and wishful to become a motivated and ruthless soldier. Now K. reaches Icarus Station as a Mars commissioner although the double origin (or maybe being chosen for this job because of it) and wants to prove how loyal a converted immigrant can be. Martians are morally superior to Earthers, not to mention fucking Belters. And even if Suri is mistreated both by Martians and Earthers, this Marine will continue to fight for Mars ''Till the rains fall hard on Olympus Mons!''.

Relations:

Vodyakin   is a kindred spirit with a great potential, but such a burdensome family name could bring trouble. Higashi   is just as prejudiced as any other martians, but voice is, the commissioner family is not so honorable. Adeyemi   is a noisy stalker, too curious to be up to something good.
Raven   was the best friend before Suri decided to leave Earth and join MMC. Raven wasn't able to forgive Suri for that.
Petit   mistreats Suri because of K. origins but often asks for information and listens carefully to Suri arguments.
Leandros   is in charge of the Omega shift, pacifist, diplomatic, maybe too paternalistic.
Suri a friend of the Vazquez  : the family: the marine's parents are hard-core martian veterans, and they promise their son will follow their steps.
Many Martians know the story of Van Dez  , once a promising scientific officer and now a deserter rotting in the most secluded corner of the Belt. What can possibly have reduced a good soldier to a broken husk ?
