michele diaz (she/her, 58 yrs old as of april 2082) >> once a high-ranking militech officer, but she got demoted after losing shares and stakeholders following the incident with the spaceship elysium. she's set on restoring her status and will do whatever it takes to get the respect she believes she deserves sergei voronin (he/they, 29 yrs old as of april 2082) >> michele's assistant of several years, a similar position as cassidy shaffer used to be in many years ago. went to school with the valentine siblings and used to be part of the friend group that relentlessly bullied aubrey. he gets demoted with michele and once the elysium incident is connected to aubrey, sergei will not rest until the fixer is dead lennox fletcher (she/her, 30 yrs old as of april 2082) >> michele's bodyguard and best friend of sergei and axel. lennox was in the same year as sergei and aubrey and james valentine and she even is james' ex. never had serious beef with aubrey on a personal level but just liked to create problems on purpose. lennox is fired after she resists being moved elsewhere in militech's ranks and is then rehired by michele as freelancer axel shao (he/him, 32 yrs old as of april 2082) >> michele's business partner who also gets demoted after the elysium incident. he was a year above his friends in secondary school but also belonged to the same friend group, and he was mostly in it to feel like he belonged somewhere. now that he's made a name for himself at militech- and is risking to lose it all- he takes a lot more initiative to get valuable information out of aubrey in order to get his position back
