Looking back over character creation, I don't have anything tying me in to @TheGenerator for history and aspect building yet. Maybe something to do with Phillip's work as a library assistant? I'm open to any thoughts/suggestions.

That can work. Is it possible that the library was also some kind of communication hub? Secret room in the back? Or perhaps the library needed your help to communicate with another library?

Ooh, I like that last idea. Something of an interplanetary interlibrary loan. How about I assisted the library in setting up a communications hub for research vessels to request and receive library data and Phillip was part of the library team on that project? So we've heard each others' names but we don't actually know each other.

Perfect :D Let's do it that way!

You could go for something like I know my way around a library or Phillip owes me a favor.
Maybe you found something while working with library data that you shouldn't have. I know a dark secret

You can really go anywhere you like, I think.

Okay, I think I've got a good aspect that could provide some juicy hooks/compels. Any feedback/comments?

Phase 3
During his time in ORBCOMM, Gavin was involved in a project to set up a set-point uplink beacon for research vessels near Farley's World to be able to communicate on a consistent basis with the main library on the planet in order to access previous research reports and other resources to support their work. The project involved multiple individuals connecting via email and instant message, including one library assistant named Phillip McHeart.

There was a lot of back and forth between the library, the research vessels, and ORBCOMM. And while Gavin had the seniority and experience to make decisions and he tried to do the best he could for the benefit of the project, he ended up stepping on some toes in the process.

Basically, Gavin is like a land of contrasts as far as ORBCOMM is concerned. Some members think he's great and others think he's the devil's own child. At different times, Gavin suspects that some members of ORBCOMM were trying to slow down or complicate his work while others worked to help push things forward.

Aspect: ORBCOMM and I have a love/hate relationship with each other.

Nice, and I like how that adds to Gavin's characterization and makes ORBCOMM feel like a real-world bureaucracy.
