interview:How did you hear about the Veritas Lux Mea? I was playing a few dice games with the Verren mechanics at The Hub. They talk fast and take money faster; by the time the night was over I was all out of cash. Thankfully they pointed me towards a ship they'd recently helped patch up which was looking for a crew. And here I am, Captain
How well do you deal with a high stress situation?As well as anyone, I would say. I keep the conversation flowing between people, things can get tense but as long as people are talking to eachother they're way less likely to snap or panic from my experience.
What do you think about the government?That's a bit of an odd one to ask in an interview, isn't it? Not that I mind, of course, don't worry. I'm not human, so my interaction with the human government is pretty much just what I hear from travellers. I've heard some bad things. I don't know if you're pro-government or anti-government but you know better than me, so I'll defer to you Captain.
What do you think about people not of your species?I think well of them, even the Glaos are friendly enough once you get to know them. Though I keep being asked by some humans whether it's strange for me to be serving under a captain who is female and younger than me. I don't understand humans sometimes, why does this matter?
How do you feel about less than legal operations?Ah, this is
that kind of hauler, then? Nope, that's not a problem at all. Well, so long as we don't hurt any of the good guys I'm fine with it, but I don't think that's the kind of trouble you're looking for. You seem like a good guy, if you didn't I wouldn't be here
How would your acquaintances describe you?Friendly, companionable. One of the best chefs they've known to serve on a ship. If they're being a bit on the ruder side they'd say I can be a little overbearing, but it's something I've been working on fixing.
How would your mother describe you?She'd probably call me something rude because I missed our last family meal, which if you're going to hire me Captain then I'll need at least 5 days off in a year for those kinds of occasions and it'd be great if the crew came too. I can promise you she'd feed everyone, and though I scrape by as a chef with ship rations my mother taught me everything I know and she is backed up by a full pantry. Your waistline would regret the trip there more than you would.
How would you describe yourself?Happy. And that's what's most important right? Everything else about a person is secondary, to me, as long as they're happy.
What do you know about us?The Verren were convinced you were up to something big, but nobody knows what it is. You look like you mean business, and given your questioning about legal activities and the government I'm willing to make a few guesses about what that might be. But that's what they are, guesses.
Why do you want this job?I need the money, I need the time and I need friends. If I can give something back in the process then all the better
Why should I hire you?Every ship needs a cook, and I'm muscled enough for a lot of manual labour. I'll even fight, you say and I'll go, Captain.

History: Kevej has never had an overly hard life. He was born to a large family in the city of Akali, on Vin. Despite being away from the homeworld it shares much of the technology and equity. The humans were introduced to the galaxy around Kevej's 11th birthday and by the age of 12 he was enrolled into a Nakkan schooling initiative to help welcome the humans to their new home.
Kevej excelled in these studies, and as a result knows how to speak and read Spanish, English and Mandarin. He's also been to Earth several times on sightseeing tours and wrote his Catering course's final dissertation on human cuisine and tradition.
That was more than a few years ago now, though, and while Kevej's peers have found work as diplomats or scientists to Artemis Kevej has generally bounced around the galaxy, picking up a few more languages spoken by the other 'alien' races and honing his cooking skill to be more suited to a ship's mess than high class restaurants.
Having just finished serving as cook on a year-long Nakkan-run holiday cruise for humans. Kevej knocked around the hub for a while, before seeking employment aboard an old cargo vessel called
Veritas Lux Mea. The rest is history
