Well, with the stories of the USS Fortitude out there I thought I would expand upon the adventures of Fox White leaving the Fortitude and becoming his own Captain. So before we kick off season one of his stories I thought we might introduce the crew of the Asclepius. The character names are in game with Fox I thought it would be nice to flesh them out a little. So without further delay here we go:
