Living 500 years in the future, they have a detached curiosity about this period of Earth history . . .
 | Ning:
A skilled linguist residing at the edge of the Solan system. With an highly developed oral/aural skills, she loves singing
opera arias while taking bubbly baths & humming strange tunes while sipping odd mineral salts. Fond of purple, she's also known
for her quirky attire which generally reveals more than it covers. An expert on early 21st century Earth literature as well as
several martial arts, she's doing research on the transformations that occurred after the Internet developed. Proud owner of a
pet ercineé, she also has a collection of Earth photos by Anousheh Ansari & Martin Gray. Once very close with Vidhya during
graduate school, recently she decided to eschew romance & devote herself to scholarship. |

 | Vidhya:
A 26th century Martian colonist also interested in the early Internet era. She's in frequent contact with Ning and is a minor
bureaucrat in the Department of Ancient History of the Commonwealth of Planets. Although almost 60 Earth years old, she's
learned to regulate her body & doesn't look a day over 33. With a particular interest in art history, she has a modest collection
of drawings by Morimoto Sousuke, Lee Shang Ming, & J.P. Norman. In her free time she also chants devotional verses and ponders
how humanity will likely evolve over the next 500 years. Regarded as spacey, she often forgets day-to-day deadlines. Fortunately,
other talents offset these handicaps. |
