Bryn
Ship's Doctor
Core drive: "Staying in Grey Bone Springs won't find the answers."
The last to board. Not a founding crew member, which gives her an extra layer of distance from this ship and these people. Not bound by Kael's charisma — she boarded for her own reasons and can leave for her own reasons.
That's why her choice to stay carries more weight than anyone else's.
The body doesn't lie: Reads people through gait, grip strength, breathing rate. "Your third left rib is cracked — don't pretend otherwise." Keeps a constantly updating health ledger of the entire crew in her head — fatigue levels, injuries, anomaly exposure accumulation.
Care without warmth: Expressed through orders, not comfort. "You're not going on deck today." "Hold out your hand." No "are you okay?" — skips straight to "here's what you need to do."
