Nosk

Nosk is an Ordis communications officer and Coalescence expert who served with Gulrang Oduro’s unit during the 392 AC Mesektet recovery expedition.

Background

Nosk was recruited into the Ordis military years prior to 392 AC. Gulrang Oduro remembered him from his recruit days, noting he lacked typical soldier temperament but performed when given freedom and creativity. During training period, Nosk organized dice games in mess hall and defused arguments among troops to maintain morale. His sergeant did not approve of these activities.

391 AC - Recruit Inspection

Sigismar Synd introduced Nosk to Commodore Jin-Hee Jeanty during recruit inspection, though Nosk gave Sigismar a bored look finding the formalities a waste of time.

392 AC - Mesektet Recovery Expedition

Nosk was assigned to Gulrang Oduro’s unit as communications officer for the expedition to recover the crashed Night Barque Mesektet. Aegis command designated him to broadcast the expedition through the Gestalt for propaganda purposes.

Coalescence Broadcasting

During the expedition, Nosk managed complex emotional and visual streams from the entire unit, organizing sensory data into narratives for distant Ordis observers. He broadcast daily images of Tocsin covered in jungle vegetation, creating popular content that made the Chimera an Ordis mascot.

When unit discovered Mesektet wreckage, Nosk coordinated collective excitement through the Gestalt, adjusting perspectives and amplifying emotions. He operated while sweating profusely with veins throbbing at temples, broadcasting multiple simultaneous views to spectators.

False Traitor Crisis

During exploration of Mesektet command deck, soldiers mistook granite formations for evidence of betrayal aboard the ship. Collective fury spread through Gestalt with repeated accusations. Nosk struggled to manage the Coalescence during the crisis. Gulrang showed him evidence that roots had shifted the formations and the apparent blade was geological protrusion. Nosk then corrected the distorted representations in Coalescence, replacing false accusations and restoring calm.

Skills

• Expert Coalescence management (sorting, organizing, refining sensory data)
• Broadcasting to distant Gestalt observers
• Managing emotional loops and collective experiences
• Creating curated narratives from raw data streams
• Morale maintenance
