Thirty years of Martian infrastructure experience, pushed aside by cleaner systems and still very aware of what they forgot.

Profile

George Harris spent thirty years keeping Martian infrastructure alive before cleaner systems and younger departments decided his kind of knowledge was obsolete.

He trusts old hardware because he remembers why it was built: redundancy, local control, and the habit of assuming things will fail.

When modern certainty starts looking thin, people like George become more valuable than any dashboard admits.
