Joe Santoso

The late Joe Santoso was an expert diver, both respected in his field and beloved by fellow crewmembers. He was the only fatality in the Amphibian of Terror attack on the Odessa Lake ammonite dig.

Joe was a tirelessly friendly guy, the kind of person you could go to with your troubles or get drunk and tell fish tales with—and as an experienced exoplanet diver, he had a lot of fish tales to share. He used to love pulling the junior researchers' legs with tall tales, winking, "It's all so wild out here, who could say? Just me n' the stars."
