Derma was once Earth's most famed electronic engineer. His programs were used in everything from satellites, to space stations, to space fighter jets. He was part of the team responsible for writing the computer system for the Noah One and Two's central mainframe. Naturally, he was a member of the Noah One.
Derma knew he was lucky. Yes, life on the cursed planet was not pretty and he almost lost his life, but he eventually survived, and not only that, his wife and 8-year-old daughter survived as well… In the original Noah One's several ten thousand members, families like his were rare, and after his whole family had survived to get on the Hope, Derma promised he would be the most devout person to give thanks back to God for blessing his family… Of course, he was deeply appreciative of the Hope's government too.
