You appear to be scruffy and disrespectful. Because, fundamentally, you know you can afford it. "Genius and madness", they say behind your back when they think you're too distracted by your thoughts.

The Zavtra is a spaceship born from a strange Country, one that radically reinvented itself over the decades. Inexplicable nostalgia for their tragic past mixes with their absolute determination to ensure a bright future.

Sure, one could say yours is an easy job, but one must also acknowledge it is a vital job.
