[b]Hob[/b]

Status: He's currently being examined by Dev before starting his shift, confused and waiting for the other shoe to drop. Once logged in, he'll meet up with OLGA to help her data mine. What they'll find? We'll just have to see. And (related) there will probably be a few more random Ghost sightings such as Connor had... I had an idea as to why the mining bay was left in such a state by Second Shift.

Future: Things will probably actually get worse before they get better for the NI-techs, especially if Hob and OLGA start finding things out that people don't want known! If it comes to that point, who will ally themselves with them? I would like to see the character pursue a relationship, healthy or unhealthy, although whether it's with OLGA (who may not truly understand the concept?) or someone else is up in the air. The ending I see for Hob is one where he's finally at peace and free to make his own choices. What happens in the story would determine what sort of choices he makes in the end and whether any of them are final or not.

Status: Trying to cage a kiss from Penny!

Future: A side-character (and, let's face it, comic relief), I had no immediate plans for him other than to build a still and to sincerely pursue a relationship with Penny. Should Henry or anyone else interfere with the latter, we'll get to see a considerably darker side of the Newfoundlander. Otherwise this leaves him free to get involved in whatever else turns up. Ultimately, I'm hoping he gets his wish, that somewhere on New Canaan his family rebuilds a place like Newfoundland with all of its virtues, its vices, its simplicity, and its quirks.
