Service History
How long did Reese have it? Did she buy it new? I think I mentioned this at some point in Earthrise. The 'lonely years' that it was only her and Allacazam. Hired Kis'eh't 3 months after the twins and Bryer a month after and that was about 3 years now She had Allakazam 7 years now page 15/4% of Earthrise
First Crew
Most of the crew of the Earthrise were hired 3 years before the start of the book Earthrise. Reese hired the twins (Sascha and Irine) first, then Kis'eh't 3 months later and Bryer 1 month after that. [1] The exception to this is Allacazam who had been with Reese for 7 years when Reese's story begins.
