From a young age, Retri has caught momentary glimpses of other realities overlaid atop his own. Unfamiliar people, echoes of strange music, spaces within the ship put to different uses. With time and work, he's been able to control the effect to an extent, even managing to make the overlaid reality briefly visible and tangible to others.

Brief and disparate as his glimpses are, they sometimes provide a picture of societies organised differently to the one he was born into, and have led him to question some aspects of his society that he might otherwise have passed unnoticed as simply the way things were. He also worries about the bigger picture - whether the cycle of civilisations aboard the Asimov rising, falling and rising again is a stable one, or whether the Fall might one day be final.

Retri wants to change the world for the better. Yes, people are happy by and large, but there are cracks and frictions showing, and he's unsure how well the people in Authority will respond to a shock. Not every reality he's glimpsed has been a happy place, after all. Perhaps the ultimate dream would be to find a way to break the cycle of civilisation in favour of forgoing the Fall and gradually ratcheting up towards a bright and shining future.

Unfortunately, his own visions don't provide enough context to know exactly how and why things are different elsewhere, and there's also the problem of evidence - vague tales of a better world to work towards based on personal visions others don't share aren't going to inspire action.

Instead, Retri believes there may be inspiration to find out in the wider universe. Historically, exploration has focused on finding viable worlds to establish colonies on, with little focus on bringing back discoveries which might benefit society aboard the Asimov. Accordingly, he has gone through expeditionary training and joined up with a crew.

He can often be found poring over records of previous expeditions in the archives, or participating in discussions with like-minded young people who want to change the world for the better.

Retri is young, enthusiastic and idealistic. This may be a dangerous combination - for himself, at least.
