Caretaker

A Caretaker is a necessary role filled by a minimum of one representative per TurTek division in any given era, allowing the company’s databanks and vessels to withstand the test of time. The caretaker routinely checks all physical installations and stations to make sure they are running to full specs. He or she has the authority to duplicate anything or anyone needed to make necessary repairs to any detected malfunction. The Caretaker is usually a duplicated individual who had fulfilled a specific mission long ago and had to grasp the reality of living out the rest of his or her life wherever they found themselves stranded (in deep space). The role is always voluntary, and could be abandoned at any time, with most TurTek installations having a built-in failsafe with a backup caretaker ready for duplication from a preset sub-atomic blueprint. These backup individuals come from the most loyal TurTek stocks, and are much less likely to ever leave their posts.
