C. J. Orkney has just fired Blue Phoenix’s medical/scientific advisor, Dr. Riley Eckhart. Serves Dr. Eckhart right, that traitor - you looked at everyone’s bios, of course, and Dr. Eckhart not only went to medical school in Dribia, but even wanted to stay there! People who think of Emera as a second-choice country are the reason why the country’s in such a mess. Well, C.J.’s use of Dribian sympathizers like Dr. Eckhart failed, and now you will be able to direct Blue Phoenix’s space program for the needs of the public.

It’s about time for you to do something this big, too. The government’s a cesspool of bureaucrats who don’t understand your worth, who stick you with jobs where ten people all do the same thing, watching one another so that nobody can show initiative. Well, you’re going to show initiative. You’re going to watch C. J. closely to make sure there are no shenanigans going on, and you’re going to show initiative whenever C. J. makes a bad decision. 

You’ve looked at the remaining employees’ records, and they’re all positive. Too bad the company has been in such dire straits, but oh well - it may be bad luck, and if the company turns itself around, you’ll still get some credit. 

Taylor Orkney is C. J. Orkney's only child, universally called Junior. Seems competent, although you doubt Junior would’ve gotten to be mission control without that family name. You will not berate Junior in C. J.’s presence, unless you’re deliberately trying to assert your (and the government’s) authority over C. J.’s. But it’s clear Junior had some involvement in the fatal accident in 4395. 

Harper Aiken is a ladder-climbing asshole. Aiken is a good pilot, but not a great one. One of the people whose main skill is getting people to like them. 

Avery Bissel is methodical and thorough. You have looked through all relevant files, both from Blue Phoenix and from the employees’ past, and have been unable to find anything negative on Bissel. On the contrary, Bissel impresses you, and reminds you of how both public and private workers should act: there really is no i in team.
