Magos Aedifex Vector van Flange

-Head Magos of the Infrastructure Department; well regarded by his subordinates.

-Had been absent for some time, having vanished during an exploration of the lava tubes, where his telemetry continued to report his location and status as alive, but out of reach—he went there searching for an optimal cargo route through the planet between two of Asterion's hives. Sojourner Wakes considered this a non-issue at this time, and neglected to appoint a replacement leader for the Infrastructure Department, evidence of the friction between the two.

-Van Flange has since indicated similar dislike (and mistrust) toward Wakes; their cognomens indicate the source of this discord, as the van Flange line believes in the need to improve upon practical engineering and technologies, whereas the Wakes line is focused on seeking and understanding new/lost technologies. Due to this conflict, I made sure to be clear of my ongoing respect for van Flange after adopting the Wakes Cognomen, the truth of which he appears to have accepted.

-Was safely recovered during by team due to interest in aiding/gaining influence with the Infrastructure Department, and possibly obtaining insight into the location of the lost Traquiel Fortress; these goals have been achieved. In addition, this mission led us to the discovery of the 508 and it's denizens.

-Long absence occurred due to the actions of Ssar Wolstina, in her misguided attempts to preserve and protect the Chosen 508th.

-Van Flange has confirmed that Anvephone Traquiel enlisted his confidential aid in constructing a throughway to the original Traquiel Palace; how she discovered its location to begin with remains unknown. He later provided a means of entrance to Fort Orpheon, and joined us in our initial exploration. His presence necessitated him being made aware of the Asterii Devices, when one was encountered.

-Attended the Gubernatorial Wedding alongside Magos Dominus Voltaire 19-A and Magos Biologis Kolabite 62-Ø; gifted the couple a Manufactorum.

-Since we were unable to sway the election toward Magos van Flange, we have attempted to maintain our positive connection through other means. This includes formatting our Manufactorum to produce cable necessary for infrastructure projects.
