  There’s actually more information in here than I would have expected.

  I’ve [Alok] been augmented, and I have been cryoed. I am cryo chambered, and I am super old, but my young gun can live for those years of the pain and or rectify the years of pain. And I think he a lot does a lot of that, he is trying to get past his stuff with the use of the team.

  We wrote the backstory [for Zeph] that he’s actually paraplegic. He did it to himself by trying to augment himself. And the suit is his wheelchair. He’s completely dependent on the suit, but the suit gives him all that extra power and strength… Obviously, in the future, we’ve moved past debilitating diseases, but there are still reasons that you might need assistance or a wheelchair. And the idea was to do a really positive iteration of what a wheelchair is by it being a suit.

  I think when we first come to her [Garrett] in this adventure, she’s very by the book, very tightly wound, black and white, there’s no gray area in her life. It’s right or wrong. Yes, she’s a stickler for that kind of thing, and so she appreciates the systems that she exists in. She feels comfort in knowing what’s expected of her… I’m there to look over things, to make sure we’re coloring inside the lines, at least in the beginning. I’ve been placed here as a little bit of a taskmaster, stickler for the rules, and maybe the ebbs and flows.

    Curiosity rising. Just a little. But it’s something. ;)

      “Unfrozen augment” certainly got my attention.
