Kaska

Biography

Encountering Du Ge on the remote planet

Kaska presents himself as an interstellar ranger stranded near Du Ge’s remote starting point and reacts angrily when Du Ge drags out and damages his hidden spacecraft. His knowledge, powers, and access to the ship make him far more capable than the local wasteland suggests. Later discussion connects his name to the theft of the Seed of Humanity thirty years earlier and raises the possibility that help came from the accompanying universe, leaving his apparent chance encounter tied to the central interstellar mystery.
