Thoughts of a Guy who lives in an Orbital ring.

Thinking about doing something on this. A corporate drone that lives in one of those little houses that you really want to beam laser.. oh, that's just me then.

I need you to help me build his/her/its life. Is... let's call he him to save the life of my keyboard, he happy in his job, what's his name, does he dream of being a space pirate.

I have a picture of a guy with ideas. For example, he wonders why the hell he has to commute to his job in the space port along only one strut in his orbital which is an hour's public travel away (the other strut is even farther away). He has written several letters to the people in charge that they need to build more struts. Surely it can't be too hard, the 3dtv shows that orbitals are all over the universe.

So.

What's his name?
Where does he live?
What's his job?

Just for a bit of fun., let's build a life.

Try not to trample on our gentle whimsy.

...his sister Ranya lives three doors down, and is married. she used to work for Lakon as an upholsterer, covering the seats. they don't see each other much since their mother died. Bastion always says he'll drop by soon - and he means to - but there's always something else that needs doing at the office. he's due for some holidays in a another month or so, perhaps they can catch up then.

He loves the smell of lavender, which always reminds him of his grandmother Reit. He can't afford to have the real stuff imported in, of course. The pathogen and biological pathogen scanning fee alone is more than he makes in a month. But every half year or so he has a shipment of synthetic lavender sent to him and he sprinkles it outside his house.

Ranya is a shrew. She's married to Thomakin. Thomakin used to hang out with Bastion. Ranya forced them to live here beyond their means to have a starry view. Now they're heavily in debt with the Galactic bank of Zaonce. At one point Thomakin thought he might make it and be able to afford a small second hand Gecko space craft and pursue his dreams to become a star explorer but he was forced to abandon those dreams. Ranya likes to go to the bars after work and drink. Sometimes she comes home late. She's a strong willed independent woman but was laid off from Lakon because of her lack of commitment once the unions were dissolved

Thomakin used to be a stallion, strong, bold spontaneous, funny, these days, he stares out at the stars through the glass, wondering what could have been...a beaten dog...

Bastion grew tired on waiting for his lazy sister to make the first move, so he made her a swan beak for her shisha pipe and took his car over to see her. At first, ranyas husband Thomakin thought you was the cheating postman and loaded his blaster, but after a few near miss due to his poor aim, yanya ran over and greeted her brother. Rumors of a thargoid invasion swept the station.

His name is Zaphod Beeblebrox and he was once president of a galaxy, far, far away in a universe that had a restaurant at the end of it. He spends his spare time looking at all the ships landing out the window of his flat while listening to Led Zeppelin IV and the Beatles White Album on his Sony Walkman. He works for Acme Inc., a small mail-order company that makes rockets and other explosive munitions which are often bought by coyotes living in the deserts on distant Sol. His boss at Acme is Darth Vader who long, long ago was No. 2 man in another galaxy, also far, far away. Zaphod's highest aspiration in life currently is to steal the Planet Express spaceship that periodically lands on landing pad 5 and use it to run rare commodities out of Lave along with his best friends Bender, and James Tiberius Kirk.
