"Somewhere between the incoherent hissing and the dynamic interaction with Akkalah architecture and civilization is an animal that will stop at nothing to protect us. The world could freeze over and they would still serve."

[Appearance]
Like all Periplaneta somna, Jorg #52 is a graceful and in no way repulsive beast-thing. In-depth analysis of the Akkalahan Roach body can be found in the species link.
[Apparel]
N/A
>General Information<
[Occupation]
None
[Birth Region]
Cargo Bay, Foredoomed Marlowe-class Deltawing, Somewhere in Sol
[Home Region]
Nomadic; pursuing Mercedes Jorminganger Yggdrasil
>Personal Information<
[Personality]
Completely obsessed, Jorg #52 has the psychological and physiological drive necessary to keep going even under tremendous stress. Jorg tries Jorg's hardest not to get in the way while still performing Jorg's duty. Loyal to the end, utterly fearless, and decidedly shy around others, Jorg makes for a reclusive service animal.
Periplaneta somna often have a single anomalous trait distinguishing themselves from one another. #52 is a kleptomaniac.
[Goals]
~ Live until parthenogenesis.
~ Reshape the world to fit Mercedes as best as possible.
[Relationships]
Mercedes Jorminganger Yggdrasil (purpose in life)
Jorgs #1-51 (deceased family)
[Biography]
Dedicated to a single path for Jorg's entire lifetime, Jorg has very few moments in life that are worthy of note. Jorg's social memory consists of little more than being named by Mercedes, leaving the shuttle for the lifeboat, and the tumultuous plummet into Earth -- horrifying for Jorg, as Jorg could not fight gravity to reach and shield Mercedes at the time.
The actual story is much more complex. "Jorg" is a name assigned to every single Periplaneta somna found on the failed colony ship by Mercedes. A single fertilized roach was brought aboard and kept in a special container for the duration of the flight. Their goal was no more complex than to spread across the exoplanet much faster than the colonists could, gradually rewriting the planet's ecosystem into something more habitable by Brumassians.
No one, not even the computer, could have expected the delay. Since the trip was meant to be near-instantaneous, the roaches were left out of stasis. The ship's single C-3 service bot moved the container over to the Marlowe-class Deltawing when Mercedes awoke and located Earth. The Jorgs were her single best shot at establishing a sustainable ecosystem once Mercedes reached her destination, and besides, they acted as natural filters. If something went wrong and they skipped Earth entirely, well, the roaches would keep them alive for a while..
..but thankfully there was no need for such drastic measures.
Jorg #52 is the only cockroach still surviving, having been chosen by Mercedes to take up what little space was left in the lifeboat. Unfortunately, none of the male sperm samples were preserved, so Jorg #52 can only reproduce by parthenogenesis. No matter what happens, Periplaneta somna will go extinct after just a decade, leaving Mercedes alone on this strange new world.
Until then, the Jorgs will serve.
