Sorenson

Categories: Shipboard Characters

Rolf Sorenson is a subordinate officer to Captain Greene on Melissa's starship, the Apocalypso. Sorenson was once stationed on a planet named Troy,¹ with millions of inhabitants.

During their mission, they decrypted a transmission indicating that their enemy, the Covenant, was going to glass Troy. Sorenson, quite emotional, assumed that they would immediately drop their mission, inform the authorities, and start a massive evacuation.² Captain Greene explained that there might be more important factors to consider, and that it was not their decision to make. Sorenson remembered that the Captain had family on Troy, but Greene would not allow that to affect her judgment.

When the ship found a mysterious cylinder adrift in space, Sorenson donned a spacesuit and entered the cargo bay to examine it.³
