Professor Adun
Bigg’s friend · The man who kept searching
Adun has lived every year that Bigg missed. Grief altered his life without persuading him to close his friend’s file.
When Big Labs’ public campus closed and its research teams scattered, he and a handful of former colleagues kept its archive and a quiet signal watch alive. Friendship became ten years of unfinished work.

The search that continued
Adun is the friend Bigg tried to call in Issue 1. During the missing decade, he and a few former Big Labs colleagues kept the archive and searched for signals. The reason he missed that first call and his precise academic discipline remain unspecified.
