Sean Archibecque

We reached Lu Hsun in hours, then surprisingly little cargo had been loaded, but at an insane speed. All 12 cranes moved at once!— Sean Archibecque, last status report (The Solar Railway)

Sean is a minor character — a maintenance technician on a Solar Railway wagon. The player finds his remains in the Main Control Room on The Solar Railway.

Blood and a severed hand mark a brutal attack; packed belongings on the console suggest he was preparing to leave. His PDA status report (23/11/2141) records the death of his superior Lorenz Harringson after a Level 5 Priority-Override slammed the wagon onto rocket thrusters and a reckless Lu Hsun loading.

Status Report: Fatal AccidentThis is my second equatorial circuit on the Solar Railway here on Mercury. The 1st run was smooth & uneventful. I learned a lot. I got detailed instructions from Mr Lorenz, my superior. He was a truly good man, an excellent mentor. Was, sadly... We left Warhol on November 19th. The first 3 days of the 7-day Lu Hsun trip were routine. Maintenance, mostly. Then it changed. On the 23rd, the wagon control received a Level 5 Priority-Override command. It instantly switched us to rocket thrusters. We reached Lu Hsun in hours, then surprisingly little cargo had been loaded, but at an insane speed. All 12 cranes moved at once! This senseless rush had its cost: Mr Lorenz died. I, I don't understand... And the safety protocols? How could it have happened?
