| ~ Bur |
Bur was a Nomai from the Vessel who landed on Ember Twin with Escape Pod 2.[1]
Escape Pod 2[]
Upon landing on Ember Twin, Annona asked if Bur could find the other escape pods' distress signals.[2] Bur heard both signals somewhere in the star system but did not believe that they crashed on Ember Twin as well.[3]
Life on Ember Twin[]
Bur was an admirer of the Quantum Moon, wondering where it disappeared to when it was not orbiting Ember Twin.[4] They helped build the Quantum Moon locator, noting that sometimes the locator could not tell where the Quantum Moon was.[5] They thought that perhaps there was a problem with the device, but Melorae proposed the idea that perhaps there was a Sixth location that the moon travels to.[6]
At one point they traveled from their home in the Sunless City to help Melorae search for the missing Coleus.[7]
Trivia[]
- A bur is a seed with hooks on the exterior, to catch on the fur of passing animals.
