Song for the day: Untrust Us by Crystal Castles

Howdy! You've been taking care of yourself, haven't you? Make sure you eat, go outside, and look in the mirror and tell yourself you've got this. 

Oh right, it's Sunday. Well, that's another week down leading up to the release of Braver than Our Demons, isn't it?

Ah. Guess it's my turn.

Nice to meet you?

Cassie is the ship navigator, as is the most common position for Fauna even in the later Auspicias' reigns. However, this has nothing to do with her knowledge of airspace in foreign dimensions-- Cassie's job as a navigator is actually extradimensional. Since Fauna can sense timelines, they are employed on ships to specifically pick out the dimensions where conditions are most fortunate, such that the crews have the best chance of achieving some objective.

This breaks down heavily the closer you get to Celestial Hierarchy members (divine beings and system administrators), such as, say, seraphs, which makes her position next to useless in this job.

That's where we come to Cassie's other job: she's the group's manager. Cassie is always on top of the situation, from planning rations to planning every minute of the day. She schedules breaks, sure, but she *schedules* breaks. She's also insistent on keeping up on the mental health of everyone on board, which means that everyone gets a faceful of friendly Fauna on the hourly, which surprisingly doesn't automatically improve their mental health. Cassie never takes 'no' for an answer, though, so she's determined to make sure everyone is okay whether they want to be okay or not.

(Reminder that this is still a Q and A... I will be taking questions for crew members through November 1st, as the characters are revealed. I will be keeping the Q and A spoiler-free, so consider this their first transmission as they board the ship together!)
