Background / History

Bai Mo originally wanted to study economics or sociology, but chose aircraft manufacturing because her family needed a practical, marketable skill. Her interest in space came later: after entering university, she decided in 2021 that she wanted to personally travel into space and investigate what she had seen. 55 231

Her high-dimensional experience occurred during an ordinary afternoon in her dormitory, when she was reading; one moment she was looking at the page, and the next she had entered an unfamiliar space. The encounter left her frightened, isolated, and driven to find an explanation. She later made a restrained Tieba post asking whether anyone else had experienced something that did not belong to their world, eventually uncovering a lead connected to the Solar Ring. 66 67

She joined Skyvault Technology after directly asserting that she was the best available candidate and that her hiring was essentially decided. Lin Xu appreciated her bluntness and hired her immediately. After studying the company documentation and code, she began work connected to the Star Traveler One project. 54 66

When Lin Xu mentioned Mars and Planetary Reincarnation, Bai Mo's composure collapsed; she recognized that he knew details of her experience that no outsider should know. Although initially overwhelmed, she regained control and began cooperating with him to investigate high-dimensional space, the Solar Ring, and the coming apocalypse. 55 58 66

Bai Mo later chose to work with the authorities and used her influence to convene high-level scientific, security, and government personnel within minutes of receiving Lin Xu's warning. She also volunteered for official research into the physical changes caused by high-dimensional exposure. 61 68 76

Appearance

Bai Mo is a young woman with short hair and a clean, professional presentation. Even in casual settings, she maintains an upright posture and gives an impression of quiet resolve. 54

• Short hair reaching her ears; she prefers it cut just past the ears rather than tied up. 54 544
• Light, clean makeup. 54
• Straight-backed posture and an air of heroism between her brows. 54
• Often carries a detached, intensely rational expression; prolonged pressure can leave visible fatigue in her eyes. 231 451 484

Personality

Bai Mo is exceptionally rational, direct, and pragmatic. She treats vague answers and indecision as obstacles to be removed, whether during an interview, an emergency mobilization, or a major engineering project. Her communication is concise: to her, “yes” and “no” should be unambiguous. 54 68 403

Her high-dimensional experience magnified this rationality. For a time, she feared that her increasingly detached thought process meant she was no longer fully human, and she consciously used reason to suppress that fear. Despite this, she remains committed to humanity and repeatedly chooses cooperation, responsibility, and practical action over the self-serving “divinity” embraced by figures such as Zhang Yuan. 75 76 222

Beneath her controlled exterior, Bai Mo is not indifferent. She is affected by loss, recognizes Jiang Xingye as a comrade after learning of her sacrifice, and privately wishes to help restore destroyed worlds. Her emotional restraint often causes others to underestimate how much she carries. 135 484

Abilities & Skills

High-Dimensional Experience
