Summary

A veteran pilot and a reasonable wrench, Lawrence has worked for years around spaceports. His last stint was Chief of Flight Operations at Big Tow, which was the stable job he needed while raising a family planetside.

His kids are now adults and his spouse tragically passed in 3225. When his favorite coworker, Henri, was let go, he saw an opportunity to make a new start and try something else while he still had some energy about him. Together, they founded Little Tow.

Summary

Henri is a man of simple needs: a cigarette, a coffee, and something to tinker. That's how he ended up with his own prototype mini tractor beam in his throat - if it kept his cigarette smoke in place, his coworkers wouldn't notice him smoking at work.

He worked for Big Tow at the time, and they wanted this prototype. Unfortunately for them, Henri has a bit of an anarchist streak. He quit, and Lawrence soon followed. Together, they founded a competitor towing agency: Little Tow.

Summary

Scorba looks like they could be blown away in a strong breeze, and they flow from place to place about as freely. One day, their precognition showed them joining the Little Tow towing agency, so that's what they did.

Though their appearance can be described as ghastly, Scorba's kind and well-meaning personality eventually shines through. Especially while doing the mostly-digital work of public relations. If only they were slightly more predictable, themself...

Summary

Kenta isn’t sure where or when they come from. They remember a deep, echoing voice in an oily black void; next they woke up in a broken cockpit, exposed to the vacuum of space.

They believe the spirit essence of the cosmos placed them where they were needed to champion the universe towards peace and justice. A process that would start with joining the towing agency that saved them.
