Kai Densmore

Kai Densmore is a former moonbase engineer who led an expedition to explore the warren of tunnels within Rylo-7.

In 2142, Densmore was curator of the Skywalker Floater Museum and Theme Park. However, the stalled economic growth due to the North American Union's budget deficit meant that Densmore, like many citizens, became unemployed. The announcement in October 2142 that commercial mining on Mars could become a possibility gave Densmore "new hope" – as he commented in an interview with FTL Newsfeed on 22 October.

Originally from Toronto, Densmore underwent DNA adaptation and found employment on the moon as an engineer at Moonbase Wilson. As he testified at Perry Epp's public reality hearings on 21 May 2143, the adaptation increased his lung capacity and muscle strength, but led to post-adaptation stress syndrome.

Catching up with Densmore almost a year later on 3 February 2144, FTL Newsfeed discovered that President Clarke had reneged on her earlier promise to provide free treatment to off-world workers suffering from the syndrome. Densmore said that, with the progress of terraforming Mars and construction of the new solar power station, most DNA adaptees were just happing to be working again.

Densmore's experience as a DNA adaptee at Moonbase Wilson, working alongside clone teams and experiencing adaptee-prejudice himself, gave him an empathy for Clone Rights – as demonstrated in an interview he gave on 30 March 2145.

In August 2145, Densmore led a team of DNA adaptees to explore the labyrinth of tunnels within the Rylo-7 asteroid. In an interview with FTL Newsfeed on 21 August, Densmore described the asteroid as being "honeycombed with tunnels" and claimed it could take up to a year to explore them all. However, a day later he reported that the team had located the "Room with a Flower" described by M'ti. Having downloaded all the data to Earth for analysis, Densmore and his team bid a hasty retreat: That means my work here is done. I'm heading back home to the moon. This place gives me the creeps.
