THE BRIDGE

Command crew,
loosely defined.

A fully cross-functional bridge crew who each, independently and without coordinating, decided that "deny by default" was a personality trait worth taking off-world.

CHAIN OF COMMAND, ROUGHLY

Everyone you'll never quite reach on support.

All avatars are wireframes, beamed in at reduced resolution to save bandwidth. This is not a budget decision. This is a design philosophy.

Cmdr. Björn Uptime

Chief Engineer, One-Nine Division

Personally responsible for the 94.5% SLA. Considers the missing 5.5% "somewhere between the stars," not an outage.

Interstellar Customer Success (Success TBD)

Answers every hailing frequency with a follow-up question. Has closed zero tickets. Has opened forty-one new ones across three star systems.

HOW WE HIRE

A fully logged, deeply questionable process.

Every candidate is interviewed by whoever is nearest the console when the hailing frequency opens. References are checked across time zones that no longer technically apply. Offers are extended based on vibes and, occasionally, relevant experience.
