Underling 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 Nexus. Aoss has no recollection of his time with Key-Glyph and is trying to reclaim his sense of self through his work for 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 changing his future and disappointing his parents until his mental health was noticeably suffering, and 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 finally cultivate 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. The reason for this discrepancy is unclear. However, regardless of whether he is suffering from amnesia, reliving his life, or experiencing chronological abnormalities, 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 Her personal logs; the Gek himself has no recollection of it.
Aoss is perturbed by the implied gaps in his memory. If the reflections in Key-Glyph's logs are genuine, he grieves for this 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 the specialized hydroponics wing of Otney Base.
