Doctor Hu
The mastermind behind the Open Intellect Pacifist Network's boldest move, revealed in Book 6's epilogue. A former crawler who sought out other survivors with a single promise: “I can only promise two things. Eventual death. And eventual justice.” He converted a Long Haul Biological Waste Management garbage freighter, the Homecoming Queen, into a troop carrier and packed it with fifty thousand hidden former crawlers, who board the quarantined system as registered Princess Posse troopers the instant the System AI approves their request. Doctor Hu predicted Carl would talk the AI into stripping the sponsors' safety protections, and exactly how the panicked Syndicate Council would respond. His ex-crawlers Tipid and Rosetta crew the bridge as the Front comes “home” to the dungeon to kill the people who run it.
