Loita is a Bloom party kua-tin who replaced Zev as Carl and Donut's primary PR contact partway through Floor 4. She censors their between-floor interviews, eliminated food and drink access in the Desperado Club, and her appearance is accompanied by ominous hints about what happened to Zev.

Description​

  • Race: Kua-tin (aquatic/amphibian alien)
  • Affiliation: Bloom party
  • Role: PR agent/handler
  • Previously served as Hekla's PR representative before reassignment to Carl and Donut

Role in the Story So Far​

Loita was assigned to Carl and Donut mid-Floor 4, replacing Zev without a clear explanation. She clamped down on between-floor interview access and eliminated the food and drink perks in the Desperado Club lounge. Her matter-of-fact manner and the absence of any explanation for Zev's departure left the circumstances of the transition ominous.

Her Bloom party affiliation connects her to larger intergalactic political factions watching the Earth crawl.
