Lucas “Doc” Walters
Walters acts as the emotional and medical anchor for the Security team. While Riley Thompson is the ship’s official physician, Walters serves as the hands-on, frontline medic. His grounded demeanor and strong moral compass make him a quiet stabilizer when the situation escalates. He’s not flashy, but his presence reassures his teammates. His ethical dilemmas—such as covering for Riley or Captain Morrow—hint at a man who feels the burden of his position deeply, even if he rarely shows it.
Book 1: Launch Point
Specialist Lucas Walters serves as the Aurora's embedded field medic and trauma response specialist within the Security Division. He trained in battlefield medicine during his service in the outer colonies and later received extensive cross-training for spaceborne trauma operations. His dual certification in field surgery and emergency triage makes him a vital asset both in combat and during exploratory operations aboard the station.
Before volunteering for the Aurora mission, Walters served alongside Ferris in high-risk operations, and their professional bond is clear. He was selected not just for his clinical expertise, but for his adaptability and temperament under pressure—something invaluable when treating injuries in zero-G or with scarce resources.
