Hi Veronica!

1. Loki can definitely transfer over, though he won't be a senior business manager. There will be talks of a potential promotion to this position, but they'll want to see how he creates and carries out a project to better protect the subsidiary. This subsidiary's name is Tempo, by the way! Any of his familiarity with their security flaws won't be looked at in confusion, simply because it'll make sense that he was resourceful.

2. Katelin Jovavich is a pioneer in a lot of ways - she's been working for Pulsar since she was 18, having come in through the front doors of the company with a project to help improve terraforming efforts based on her own research. Through a family friend, she had managed to bribe and cajole her way into getting the appropriate files so that she could come up with a better plan. While that family friend was quickly demoted and disgraced within the company - if not fired, then forced to go back to entry level - Jovavich was quickly brought onto the team.

One of the big things that Loki will hear is that Jovavich gets what she wants once she sets her eyes on it. The biggest hurdle she's faced is that the UN government is opposed to releasing scientists into space to improve terraforming efforts, instead choosing to use people who are disposable and willing to take the government subsidy to live out their lives in space. Jovavich is opposed to these efforts, believing that their colonies are performing poorly because they don't have high-end engineers and scientists on board to help expand to space.

Her goal to become governor seems to be based on changing this. Jovavich never intended to enter politics - her goal was always to keep moving up within Pulsar to change their direction. However, she profiled well with the establishment thanks to her ambition and her tendencies as a visionary, so they began to prepare her as a politician. Jovavich started to be fast tracked following Gill-Jade's failures.

As for Jovavich's familial background, they're old money - though Jovavich is actually adopted! No one knows the reason behind her adoption, though her family was more involved in the business side of the corporate world than the science side. It seems that Jovavich's ambition and intelligence comes from her biological family, though she's never mentioned them.

Jovavich herself is unmarried - and her former employees joke that she's "married to her job." That's … quite true.

3. This is all good! Go forth and pitch it to us and we'll get back to it ASAP. We're thinking it can go up next weekend, if that's good for you guys!

4. Thanks, Loki. She'll say she's passing them to El, since she … doesn't have much use for them.

5. They have to go through a government-run driver's program. Because of the danger associated with hover cars, there are a number of hours expected for someone to have completed. For anyone new to the game, they can work with El to bypass this process - but someone needs to know how to pilot a bit in addition to just driving.
