Underling Aoss (also known as WorkGek Aoss) is a farmer, botanist, and culinarian currently living at Otney Base. Originally employed by the Traveller Key-Glyph, his whereabouts were lost during the Great Shift and only recently rediscovered with the help of Nada, Polo, and the Anomaly. Aoss has no recollection of his time with Key-Glyph and is trying to reclaim his sense of self through his work with the Atlas Keepers.
Biography
The youngest of 301 siblings, Aoss was born to a traditional pair of SalesGek who expected every one of their offspring to take up the family vocation. Aoss knew that his heart lay elsewhere, but his obedient nature and deferential disposition kept his desires in check. For many years he buried his own needs and struggled to pursue his family's idea of a respectable life.
Aoss refused to consider the option of changing his future for fear of disappointing his parents until his mental health was noticeably suffering. Even then, he acted meekly. Under the guise of exploring new trade markets he managed to set off for distant star systems without confrontation and began cultivating his true interests, farming and cooking, in relative obscurity.
At this point in his personal history, Aoss either volunteers as a base companion of the Traveller Key-Glyph's or is contacted by the Beacon-Entity. It is unknown whether he is suffering from amnesia, reliving his own life, or experiencing chronological abnormalities, but Aoss believes he was recruited directly from his culinary career by the Beacon-Entity with no spectacular events in between. The only evidence of Aoss' former existence alongside Traveller Key-Glyph resides in the latter's personal logs. The reason for the discrepancy between Aoss' recollections and the written account of the Lost Traveller is unclear.
Aoss is perturbed by the implied gaps in his memory. If the reflections in Key-Glyph's logs are genuine, he grieves for the friendship he cannot remember.
Aoss currently serves as the head of the Atlas Keepers' Flora Facet. Reluctant to be a leader of any sort, he mostly keeps to himself in a specialized hydroponics wing of Otney Base.
Personality
Aoss is a quiet, humble, and nurturing Gek whose reverence for flora runs deep. Despite the courage he's exhibited in following his dreams, he remains conflict-avoidant and reluctant to challenge authority. He has suggested that his horticultural efforts are, at least in part, an atonement for the actions of the Gek First Spawn.
Aoss is both grateful and devastated to have learned of his previous friendship with the Lost Traveller. This revelation has only intensified his proclivity for existential thought.
His steadfast positivity and appreciation for life are a source of comfort to anyone close enough to take notice. With Aoss, reciprocal trust must take hold and grow before he will open up to you. When this happens, you will have gained a friend for life.
Relationships
Aoss' amiable but shy disposition results in more acquaintances than close friendships, but each relationship is equally genuine.
Base Hirelings
- Gek Navigator Sofarhei: Sofarhei was employed as Traveller Key-Glyph's Overseer during Aoss' recruitment. Over time, Sofarhei's chilly indifference towards the farmer shifted into blatant harassment, and culminated in their attempted termination of Aoss' service. Aoss no longer has memories of this relationship.
Travellers
- Key-Glyph: The Lost Traveller's logs show that She treated Aoss as an adopted sibling, encouraging and protecting him while in turn depending on his quiet enthusiasm for strength. Aoss' knowledge of his time with Key-Glyph is inexplicably absent from his memories.
- Beacon-Entity: The Beacon-Entity was able to locate and contact Aoss via the Anomaly. Aoss has since taken up residence at Otney Base as the (reluctant) leader of the Atlas Keepers' Flora Facet and has become something of a welcome sounding board for the Beacon-Entity's philosophical musings.
- Bo'gus: Aoss' research often requires working closely with Bo'gus, the leader of Fauna Facet. To Aoss' immense relief, the two get along well. Both are reliable and down-to-earth tradesmen with a need for emotional honesty in their colleagues. The two appear to have built a significant friendship.
- Bea'key: Aoss most certainly would not have fallen in with Bea'key if she were not Bo'gus' near-constant downtime companion. Aoss still finds Bea'key's exuberance overwhelming, but her open-armed acceptance of friendship has moved him deeply. Aoss, Bo'gus, and Bea'key are often found relaxing together after-hours for rounds of storytelling and games of cha'kers.

Personal Logs
Aoss has no known personal logs at this time.
Atlas Keepers Affiliation
Aoss has become the de facto head of the Atlas Keepers' Flora Facet despite his eschewal of leadership positions. He accepts the title as acknowledgement of his contributions, but will undoubtedly outsource any managerial duties to a third party should such a situation arise.
Discoveries
Aoss has perfected the means of planting, growing, and harvesting nearly every known strain of wild flora.
Important Events
- Suspecting Sofarhei: Key-Glyph's logs note that Aoss experienced a transient episode of paranoia in which he believed their Overseer Sofarhei might "not even be a Gek at all." It was never determined what was meant by this outburst, whether or not Aoss' food had been drugged beforehand, or if the episode belied a serious underlying health condition.
