Haud Ignota Loquor [Latin] - I Speak Not of Unknown Things
Science and theology share a common vulnerability: both have great potential for abuse and neglect. My skepticism leans more towards theology than science, but I distrust any institution that gains massive appeal, as this is often where the exploitation and oversight become most pronounced. - Akio Tsukino
Akio Tsukino immigrated from Japan to the United States with his parents at the age of four. His father, Haruto, was a pilot in a private space program. Akio served as a Navy SEAL and was awarded the Bronze Star Medal with Combat V. He earned a bachelor's degree in engineering and a doctorate in psychology before joining Lehrer/Sheen Industries as Chief Technology Officer (CTO) in the field of robotics. Just before the Global Revolution, he remotely trained Christian Lehrer during his early days on the space station Laurasia, and later continued as a volunteer, becoming a dear friend of the Lehrer family.
Akio, a name combining "bright" (昭, aki) with elements meaning "husband, man" (夫, o), "male" (男, o), or "hero, manly" (雄, o), and Tsukino, translating to "moon field" (from tsuki, "moon," and no, "field"), reflects his heritage.
Akio was the primary psychologist for the space program, a division of Lehrer/Sheen Industries, who manufactured the space stations Laurasia and Gondwana. His wife, Chiyeko, worked with him at the space program as an administrative consultant focused on medicinal advancements.
Chiyeko, pronounced CHEE-yeh-ko, is a name that, while commonly used in English-speaking countries before the revolution, might be a respelling of Chieko since the syllable 'ye' does not occur in Japanese.
Quo Vadis? [Latin] - Where Are You Going?
You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself in any direction you choose. You're on your own, and you know what you know. And you are the guy who'll decide where to go. - Dr. Seuss
