So 4B looks like a pretty tropical climate... Are there bugs? Giant alien mosquitos? Do you have space bug spray?

“We were never really above sea level long enough for me to know for certain. And, for safety reasons, we pretty much never took off our suits outside. But, considering how little the skyray strays from land, there must be something other than fruit or whatever fish are crazy enough to come too close to the surface for them to eat. Besides, there had to be something there for the wildlife to decide creating such wondrous foods. If I ever make it back, I’ll remember to check.”

Well, since its 6 am an i cant sleep. And you don't have any questions. What do you do when you can't sleep?

“I’m pretty sure I’m the worst person to ask about this. Father tells me I need to get to sleep earlier. But it’s hard when everything on this planet is so interesting. There’s little I’d rather do than watch the fish go by out the window.  Then again none of us are really sleeping anymore. Maida suggested keeping busy. Father says the best way is to just close your eyes and wait. I’d much rather sit and watch the world go by in an underwater sea-base that isn’t constantly filled with shouting.But each to their own I guess.”

“I’m all out of questions and as peaceful as the quiet I’m able to find down here is, it wouldn’t be right for me to leave you all hanging.”

How you located any warpers? Or maybe have one swimming right outside your base?

“I’ve only seen one, and it was simultaneously the scariest and greatest moment of my life.”

How do you deal with the stress of the isolation, if you dont mind me asking? I've been feeling very... Isolated. Alone. It's getting ridiculous, and I'd like to know how you've handled it

“It’s hard, but the best way I’ve found is by simply keeping myself busy. I’m not alone here, even if it might seem that way. The creatures here are more than enough company for me. And soon, I’ll be helping them in return. I just hope I can help you with your isolation first.”

What are your hobbies?

“Before arriving here, I had very little time for anything but learning the things I couldn’t through digitraining. Now, I spend a lot of my time watching the creatures of this astounding planet, and learning everything I can from them. It’s essentially a hobby of mine now.”

Youre such a sweet lil nerd and i love you i would fight a reaper leviathan to the death for you if i had to (i would hope i wouldnt have to because last time i had to go toe to toe with a reaper i forgot my stasis rifle and i was just scanning it and i left with 2 health)

“ I appreciate the thought, but I’d rather not risk the livelihood of anyone, human or leviathan. Not without ample reason. I’m glad you survived your encounter though, however close you were to losing yourself. “

Tell us a little about you!

“ There isn’t much to tell. Father’s been teaching me how to run the company since… well since I was born. I’m not as fond of the numbers and leadership and I think he hoped I’d be. Unluckily for me, he can afford as many liver replacements as he’d need to make sure I’m headed on the right path. If we get off this planet, I plan on doing what I can to give this remarkable planet the attention it deserves.  “

do you have a favorite fish yet?

“ All the fish on this incredible planet serve an equal part in the eco-system and subsequently our survival, which makes it hard to choose any in particular. The Crabsnake, while intriguing is no more interesting than the peeper. And compared to the aquatic lifeforms of Earth, they’re all spectacular. I doubt I’ve even been able to scrape the surface of the life forms living here, and don’t suspect I ever will. But I suppose to answer your question simply, I must admit I have a special sort of fondness towards the gasopod. It… reminds me of father. “

Are you really Mongolian?

“ Half Mongolian, half Scottish. My father is Scottish and my mother was Mongolian. “

You have a cute smile

“ Thank you, for another reason to keep my spirits up. “

So, have you bonded with the scary lady? Maida? I bet she has some... Interesting stories.

“ If it hadn’t been for our crash landing here, I don’t think I would’ve ever spoken to Maida, at least not meaningfully. Though it’s hard to get to know each other in our current situation. And while we haven’t exactly bonded, not to the level of sharing stories from before we landed, she actually listens to me. Maybe in time we’ll have time to share interesting stories without risking our sea-base falling to pieces. “

How do you feel about your father?

“ It’s difficult to put my feelings towards my father into words without sounding ungrateful for all he’s done for me. I wouldn’t have even been born if it weren’t for him after all. And well, he’s family. But it’s hard not to feel negatively towards him when he ignores my input because he’s too stubborn to see that I might have a good solution. I suppose I can’t blame him though, after all that’s happened he’s trying to keep it all together with a three man crew on an alien planet. I think he’s doing better than any of the rest of us would be in his position. “
