Teo Varga

E2 E3 E4 born about Y+16 Running

Alsolonghand; T.V.; DRN T.V.; the planner

A calm architect who livestreams EARTHLIGHT, a city for the Moon, by hand as longhand; his free sheets became Noor's base, his stamps move its robots, and on one night he voids her home and then redraws it with her; afterwards only his drawings, his initials and his lighthouse remain.

Teo is Episode 2's calm voice: kind, precise, never the villain, and the most dangerous man in the series because whatever he stamps, the robots on the Moon build. He did not know a child lived there until she called. His tenderness only ever shows as precision: a timeline for one, a scale figure 1.38 m tall, a note that says no work on occupied modules, ever. After Episode 2 he survives as files and habits: his set is a download, his title block is a credits row, his Rev B note is a house rule, his lighthouse sweeps a stranger's wall, his wrong-way bus shelter stands in a park.
