Hey Leviathaners,

I am delighted to welcome another one of my favourite writers to the Levi. Hjortur Ingi will be a familiar face to a lot of you, for me it was on the Viking where Kara Nakuto first encountered his towering, Icelandic Intel Chief, and I found myself hugely impressed with the depth and the confidence and command of his characters.

He’ll be taking up the CIO spot on the Levi, bringing an already established character who sounds absolutely fascinating. And his arrival has come not a moment too soon, as I feel confident those intelligence skills will come in handy as the Levi continues to creep towards the impending danger of the Alini system anomaly!

Welcome onboard, Hjortur. I’m so happy to have you joining us! Drop off your bags and strap yourself in, for this ride is about to get very bumpy…
