Karen Webb

Karen Webb posts frontier hazard surveys the way other desks post freight manifests — calm voice, dense addenda, and the assumption that spacers think "public filing" means "paste everything to the open board."

She's human, Solaris-born, fifty-two with brown hair going grey at the temples, hazel eyes, and the sun-spare skin of someone who's spent twenty years explaining why breach profiles aren't bulletin-board fodder. Colonial Affairs Frontier Survey liaison on Khesret: she books outsider first-chart runs when a spur needs Concord registry without publishing corrosive chemistry to every mineral speculator on the lane. Ash Gap, four hops, D-class hazard station over exotic corrosive desert, dual filing — public chart plus sealed appendix — because the last hull pasted hazard data open and three claim-jumpers filed overnight.

Webb isn't warm. She's exact. She tucks a dual-filing primer in every packet and watches who throws it away unread on the ramp cam. Because she can pay an honest scout and close a registry filing — but every claims scandal she has to unwind is standing she earned over two decades, spent because a crew thought hazard chemistry was just another field on the template.

File straight and she's a client who remembers hulls worth calling for sensitive hazard spurs. Paste breach profiles to the open board and she'll settle to the letter of the contract, thank you with perfect courtesy, and make sure Colonial Affairs knows what kind of scout you are.
