Satellite Hermits AU | First meeting with Zedaph
Zedaph is a planetologist, a nomadic mystery of Minecrea. He doesn't operate stations much, doesn't build infrastructure or anything — his job is pure research (nobody understands what he's doing, though). He often moves from base to base due to this and the rest of the hermits are kinda used to his sudden visits and odd requests.
Skizz meets him on his first day on the planet, at the Central base, when Zed rushes to send in a report and leaves unsuspecting Skizz to look after radiation hazard. Needless to say, both are immediately charmed by eachother.
When Skizz's adventures on Minecrea begin, Zedaph is busy moving his main lab from the nearby valley to Mt. Gate-2. This later turned out to be a fatal decision, that kick-started a chain of crucial events.
