Director Merrow

Director Merrow runs Orchard Ring Hab Spoke 3 — grow output, security budgets, and the kind of smile that knows stock prices breathe when protein lines hiccup. She posted the Rook Nine bounty on the public docket because vandalism on her watch is a career problem.

She is precise, political, and allergic to surprises in the coolant aisles.

Merrow will pay a bonus if Rook is captured without drone damage — and she will quietly admit overtime policy is indefensible if the crew gives her a face-saving path to a charter hearing. Quarterly reports show where the cuts went; leverage is there for crews who read before they threaten.
