The Lonshore Crew is the nickname of the GEO Patrol members based
in the town of Longshore. It is also the name of a Blue Planet
campaign based around these characters.
The characters are:
- Captain Travar N'gama (played by Kevin)
- A career GEO Patrol officer and Silvan hybrid, he was held as a
shining light for the integration and development of hybrids in
mainstream human organizations. However, he then dropped out of
public sight and is now running the Longshore Crew GEO Patrol team.
- Lieutenant Kalina Esta (played by Steph)
- A GEO Patrol officer, specializing in forensic science and
forensic psychology.
- Corporal Joe Donna (played by Jef)
- A GEO soldier seconded to the GEO Patrol. A quiet and taciturn
man, his temprament is well-suited to his MOS of sniper, but less so
to police work.
- Dr Gary Fulmer (played by David)
- A Cat hybrid and a physican at the Longshore clinic, Dr Fulmer
often helps out with the patrol by providing medical assistance and expertise.
- Milo (played by Paul)
- A civilian contractor, Milo provides a range of technical
expertise to the Longshore Crew.
- Maxamillian Payne (played by Levi)
- Max is an experienced bush pilot who has worked for the GEO Patrol
for several years.
- Jamirika (played by Steve)
- A colonial Warden, Jamirika has offered to help the Longshore Crew
as they hunt for David Transson's killer.
Dearly departed
- Warrant Officer Jason "Solid Snake"
McKinnery (played by Levi)
- A GEO military pilot seconded to the GEO Patrol. He has a rather
low opinion of Natives, and is much happier performing a bombing run
than doing the legwork required in an investigation.

Additonal Character Details
- Captain Travar N'gama
- GEO psychological evaluation - Agent N'gama, Travar
This is Agent N'gama's second psychological evaluation in his
current post. Previous records are available in his file.
Background
For the past five years, Agent N'gama has led one of GEO Patrol
units in the Longshore area (Region 1 District 2). In this time, he
has shown intelligence and perception in the execution of his duties.
Prior to this period, there is no information available due to a
security seal (code A871/22Z) on previous records. He is due to
retire in two years.
Evaluation
As noted in the original profile, Agent N'gama shows signs of
depression and a certain level of fatalism. Both of these traits have
become more deep-rooted than previously observed. This seems to be
linked to an increasing cynicism with regard to Incorporate activities
on Poseidon, particularly with regard to Native culture. We recommend
evaluation of any Native connections.
In general, Agent N'gama is keen to retire from active service
although, as is common, he has not clearly expressed any plans for his
retirement. We recommend that he be assessed for a high level of
counselling prior to retirement.
- Dr Gary Fulmer
Gary was educated on Poseidon at the Haven General hospital. The lure of
working for a cause which would help people both here and back on
Earth appealed to him. While studying he was approached by the
natives to see if they could get his support. The ideas the natives
expound are in many respects better than the GEO standard line. The
thought of destroying the planet so that a few wealthy elite can live
forever seems poor at best and diabolical at worst.
Thus Gary's sympathies lie with the natives. But, as a doctor, the
idea of taking another's life is totally repugnant to him. (Excluding
self defence.) So while he would side with the natives their approach
is not one he can not condone. He would prefer to try
and influence things from within the legal laws. This has put him at
odds with the fundamentalists in the native faction. They believe that
his approach will never yield any fruit. But I guess he has not given
up hope that things could be made better. Having studied the works of
people like Ghandi, Gary would rather try a non-violent
protest.
The people who have the power and control over things annoy him. The
methods they use and the people that get hurt or destroyed in their
own self pursuits depresses him. There is enough world for everyone
if they simply behaved nicely with each other. The ravishment of the
planet seems simply short-sighted and misguided. So although the GEO
are not the best people they at least follow a set of laws which
theoretically means everyone gets a fair deal. He does not support
the corp's as they try and plunder whatever they can.
In summary, Gary is a bit naive but is a "good guy" trying to help the world
turn for everyone, not just the super rich or elite.
His activities were probably not very subtle and may have triggered
some sort of "watchers."
