Biography
Eduard Kubikov was born on Ganymede in the Jovian System on the 14th of February, 2597. Somewhere in the 2610's, he left his home and parents, as he had a hard relationship with them at the time. At some point, he started working at the Brown Observatory on Titan as a supporting astrophysicist. He lived in a small flat with only five rooms, although he had a dirigible. When he randomly entered Musk's observatory while he was looking at the newly-recieved data, he found out that Musk discovered a potentially habitable planet. He decided to take him to Triton so the latter could depart using his interstellar warp drive spaceship. On his dirigible, he asked his personal robot Gadget to calculate the required speed to get to the Neptunian System, which Kubikov could afford.

He then flew himself and Musk to the IDP on Triton, then they ate at the Protei restaurant and went to Otto Anstan's office, where the latter gave them the keys to Kasar Musk's interstar.
