Ecologist in some twisted sense, she thinks even a garbage burning chamber is someone's natural environment, which has to be handled carefully.
Languages. Fluent in ten unrelated languages, knows the grammars of another seven, even less related. "Parallel courses of sense", edition of Remsh bookshop and diskbindery, the most often quoted sentence: "What different flows does the human mind assume in different cultures, it is a miracle that understanding ever occurred. The translators are therefore wizards of a kind, and people may be rightfully admiring them and yet not trusting them, because they have too much understanding for both sides".
Natureteller. Said to be able to talk with plants, but unable to translate into any language. Does worse with animals, says they think in pictures and odors, and he can't really pronounce that to them. Talks with the ship's computers on the way, tells them greasy jokes and lowers the fuel consumption.
Recorder. "Give me a wheel of oaken wood, I will make a recording on it". I charge of getting everything noted. Along the way, in charge of anything that needs to be written, sent to the League, calculated, classified. On deck, in charge of kitchen, ship's log and sailing.
Glem Ijenšo (Eyanshaw), kibernesh and kitchen boy at the same time. Feels universe and kitchen as the two places where his consciousness becomes a space, or more precisely, where it becomes a reality.
Third officer, Olgat Onstenso, is yet just an ordinary mugger, gambler, physicist. A miracle with naturally organge colored hairs, originates from some chrystal colony. The agitation of the weak radiance along ten generations could not pass unnoticed, though it is hard to find the first ancestor up the genealogos which would appear different from his ancestors. He inherited spatial empathy, chrysophtalmy (the mirky ability of noticing the color of things to happen). At least has some hinting gift. Retired pirate, he drags along as military advisor, the crew mostly thinks he lives off the old glory and steals his time from eternity. In the mirky times of his youth he was anything he had time for. Whatever he tried, worked to a point, and then he kept vanishing and reappearing later in a different role. That is interpreted as fear of importance, or a good foreseeing power. Really, one could say he never got into a big trouble - often it can be said he chose a smaller one in time.
Drives anything that has an engine and moves. When he sits to steer something he sees for the first time, he allows himself two and a half damars to think (or not to think, but let the hand decide for itself) and presses the first button. As needed, he drives excellently, dangerously, badly, clumsily, calmly, nervously, or as a beginner. Many times he tricked the chase just by driving exactly like in a school. The nickname "Å orgelj" (Shorghell') comes from an unknown language, and its meaning is not known.
The look is undescribable, because she changes it with her mood; the
only thing which never lacks is some pirate's mark on the clothes -
a deadhead with crossbones sometimes, sometimes belted arms,
sometimes a fake artificial eye. The likeon knowledge of universe
(which would say, everything). The title of Baša is a buccaneer's
tradition, and nearly fits a captain's station in almost everything.
She's into her better years, seemingly rough, and is actually refined
(premeditated?). She foresees four moves ahead before playing one.
Always ready for a change of plan, reacts from the nerve. Real name
is not known (is that characteristic of buccaneers' traditions, or
inherited from monks' orders, to change name by enthronement?).
Shorgely would be low anywhere. He is not particularly good at
anything, unless being good at nothing counts. In his youth, he was
always the third-best bully in his community, and the communities were
mostly the gradually worse inmates' virtual states, because he was
getting caught at worse crimes and sent to prisons of worse fame. He
never made any fatal mistakes - never cost anyone's life, that is,
except the victims' - so he always managed to be a crewman somewhere.
While he learned to operate almost all of the equipment, and could
almost qualify as an engineer, he remained sloppy all his life, and has
a lengthy inventory of burned makhinery.
Add the usual bunch of thugs, bagsackers, framers and others...
