Day 11: Blue Planet - Olaitan, native village doctor and eco-protector

OK, this year I have some timing issues, so I will cut down on the description here. Olaitan is a descendant of colonists from the first wave - ca. 2085, we have 2199- and had lived in a small village very similar and somewhat close to the one we met in the last posts. His community has a lot of dolphins, and he has always felt closer to them than the other humans. His home wasn’t destroyed, but instead saw Anasi planting down a small mining outpost. Life… changed. Olaitan understands what the corporations are about to do, and has decided to fight back. His parents, as most first-wave colonists, were aquaforms, essentially treated genetically and with minor surgery to give them aquatic-mammal-like characteristics. Their blood binds more oxygen, they tolerate cold better, see in low light conditions - they can dive longer and more deeply, and stay in the water a lot longer than unmodified humans. The genetic changes were coded to be dominant, and so Olaitan inherited all of those; the surgical changes were done using medical facilities well before Recontact. Since the advent of Long John, more modern, better-designed Aquaform modifications exist; alas, he has the old-school one.
