Lumen, on the recommendation of Elysium and Kal'tsit, is now working as a Rhodes Island operator in Iberia, helping render medical aid to Infected persons in Iberia's territories. Additionally, Lumen will also participate in joint meetings between Rhodes Island, Ægir, and the Inquisition, offering suggestions based on his own perspectives and working with all parties to find a possibility of mutual aid in the face of future contingencies.

Hm? Am I able to be of help to you? I can't contribute anything towards your meticulous plans or lofty ideals, but if you wish me to attend you... that happens to be my specialty.
Sitting for extended periods of time will cause muscular atrophy, and that's not going to help, Doctor. Come, I'll walk with you around the deck. I've also been wanting to hear about some of Rhodes Island's legends. No, sifting through the archives isn't as interesting as hearing it from you.
My grandfather was involved in the construction of that great lighthouse. But now, haha, all I do is stay behind in the church, tending to the sick and elderly... No, I'm not complaining about my job as a caregiver; seeing their smiles brings me great joy! It's just that...
Skadi, Gladiia, and Specter... I never thought a day would come when I would stand on the same side as those Ægir greats; I mean, I barely know anything about the Ægir... Huh? You're putting me on the same team as them? Please, have mercy on me...
That Inquisitor fought to the last breath for our sake. When I saw the light of his lantern pierce the darkness, I suddenly realized: they are all fighting for our future. And though I might not be as strong as them, I don't wish to remain a bystander. I want to stand with them.
Achieving great things is not easy for me, but even facing life itself is not a trivial task. Doctor, don't worry, I won't give up. I will try my best to catch up with everybody on Rhodes Island.
For us Iberians, our relationship with the 'sea' is a complicated one. The sea symbolizes terror and danger, while also holding nostalgia for a bygone era. But even as the great vessels of Iberia sink before our eyes, we... we require a bit of change.
Caregivers have to respond to all sorts of different situations. Some people are difficult to deal with, but the gratitude we receive makes it worth it. Doctor, all that you do, day in and day out, must be for a very similar pursuit, right? You know the joy of being able to make a difference.
Working in the Inquisition is difficult, and not everyone is as fair as Lady Irene... But, had I not experienced it, I never would've gotten to work with amazing people like you, right?
Doctor, Doctor? You're going to catch a cold if you fall asleep like this... Let me fetch you a blanket. Is it alright if I dim the lights for you a bit?
Operator Lumen, real name Jordi Fontanarossa, was born in an Iberian town on the decline named Gran Faro, and has long worked there as a caretaker for the local church. Perhaps because his guardian there was the town's mayor, Lumen's status as an Ægir Islander did not bring him any trouble for a long time, a rare occurrence in areas under the direct control of the Inquisition. However, a more likely possibility is, the person most responsible for Lumen's peaceful life is himself. Putting aside his identity or profession, this operator has an innate affinity for carefully paying attention to the needs of each person around him, and reaching out at the right time. Even if his ability to help is limited, Lumen is more than willing to be a kind and compassionate listener. Even more remarkably, he seems not to understand how precious his ability to develop sincere and strong relationships with everyone really is. We should be thankful that such a rare quality took root and blossomed in Iberia, a place where life can normally be described as harrowing and harsh.
Jordi occasionally shows up at the workshop to fiddle with some odd trinkets. His level of experience is far too rudimentary, not even mentioning his technique. Even the way he holds his tools is awkward. But, the things he makes are indeed rather interesting. I asked to borrow a couple samples of his work so I could study them. They were some kind of light-emitting unit, but their light was so weak that they had no practical use. However, I can barely even speculate as to how something like that works in the first place. It seems connected to the Originium technology we are used to, yet its technical route uses an entirely different paradigm. He said, those things were based on what he saw from his parents' notes, a cheap knockoff of the lighting units used in those fabled Iberian lighthouses. Those notes may well be worth researching. I once had the privilege of seeing some technology brought over by a great Ægirian, and Jordi's engineering method seems to be a combination of Ægir and Originium technology. However... Wait, hold on, if what he said is true, he learned how to make these things purely by looking over some notes? ––Engineering Department Operator
Gran Faro is a special town that once carried a whole generation's dreams of revitalization. They tried to build a fort here and once again challenge the unknown dangers of the depths brought about after the Profound Silence. Lumen's biological parents as well as Mayor Thiago, who would later look after Lumen, were all part of this project. According to Lumen's onboarding documents, his parents participated in this project as lighthouse engineers tasked with rebuilding the connection with the 'Eye of Iberia,' a lighthouse stranded in the ocean, in order to pave a way back to the ocean for the people who were unwilling to relent to calamity. They continued to believe that their work would bear fruit, even giving their lives to the cause. In an operation that was later deemed to be too reckless and ambitious, the two engineers and an entire operation team disappeared into the thick fog. However, after countless investments of time, faith, and blood, this plan was eventually abandoned. On one fateful night, the Inquisition cleaned out almost the entire town, taking away most of the Ægir Islanders. In a report that followed, the Inquisition claimed that some of the Ægir workers in the town had been corrupted by the Church of the Deep, that their foul conspiracy had been sundered, and that that just punishment had been meted out. Lumen said that he was too young to be able to provide us with more information about this part of Gran Faro's history. But according to our information, Mayor Thiago's wife, an Ægir named 'Marin,' was taken from the town during the turmoil and never returned. It may well be the case that nobody will ever know the full truth of that incident, now sealed away in some file cabinet in the Inquisition; it may also be the harsh reality that the truth no longer matters. Be it any of the witnesses of this event, or Lumen himself, only one choice remains: continue to live on, and try to prove that there is still a purpose to living.

Lucilla5★ · SupporterSo you're... the Doctor? Pleased to meet you. My codename is 'Lumen,' and I will now be serving as a Rhodes Island Operator. Even if I can only bring you a thin filament of light, I will give all my strength.
Do we... really have to face such terrifying things?
No, I can't accept this. I've just been doing my job, nothing worthy of a promotion. Please, you don't need to look so dejected. Fine, I'll take it!
I'm just an ordinary person, and it takes a huge amount of effort to even keep up with the others. However, if you really need what little I can offer... then I will be there for you at any time.
Don't worry, Doctor. I'll catch up to the others.
Me, squad leader? Umm... Can you give me a few minutes to sort things out in my head?
Looks like it's too late for second thoughts. Time to move out.
I'll do my best to keep everyone safe!
At your disposal.
As long as I can help.
I can handle this!
It's fine, as long as I can muster up the courage!
Don't worry, I'm here with you.
You can do this. Here, the first step is a deep breath.
Hang in there, the treatment will be done in no time!
Please stay calm. It's a bit tricky, but as long as you give me some time...
Doctor, that you've shown me such a great project, let me become a part of it, and even had me stand by your side, means the world to me.
We did it, Doctor! Even though this was a small victory, the day will come when these small rays of light will grow numerous enough to dispel the darkness.
Enough frowning, Doctor, it's bad for your health. If everything always went according to plan, what would motivate us to work harder and better ourselves?
Doctor, please evacuate! If I can hold the line and buy you a future, then I...
Rhodes Island is a beautiful ship, but sadly... I cannot feel the breath of the sea breeze.
Do you need a hand?
The thing I enjoy most is looking out the window at the surrounding scenery, relaxing away my afternoon. Want to join me, Doctor?
Arknights.
Back when I was a caregiver, at the turn of every year, everyone would exchange presents and offer New Year's blessings. Even though I'm working in a different environment now, I hope to keep this little custom alive. Doctor, I wish you... a peaceful and prosperous new year.
Doctor, need me to give you a shoulder massage? I'm pretty well-known for my PT skills.
Kal'tsit mentioned that today is your birthday, Doctor. I don't have the means to gift you anything precious... but please take this. It's an audio recording of the waves in my hometown. If you ever find yourself in a bad spot, please give it a listen. Of course, you're more than welcome to come to me directly.
Now that I'm saying it out loud, it's a bit embarrassing... Doctor, if I could become like you one day... Err, never mind. Just being allowed to join Rhodes Island, and stand by your side, is already like a dream come true.
Lumen does not have many opportunities to visit Rhodes Island, as his work with the Inquisition does not allow him to come and go as he pleases. However, when these opportunities do come by and he gets to stay on the ship for a period of time, Lumen will almost always spend a lot of time in the Intelligence Processing Room. He thoroughly enjoys watching operation records and shows great reverence and enthusiasm towards the Doctor, as well as the operators featured in those records. Those experiences that we take for granted are legendary tales for Lumen, who stayed exclusively in his hometown since he was born. Lumen always describes himself as an ordinary person, and seems to harbor a hidden fear in his heart about becoming an operator of Rhodes Island. Despite that, just about every operator is more than willing to work alongside Lumen. Indeed, Lumen's body and spirit are no different from ordinary people. He cannot release powerful Originium Arts, and is not an expert in any academic field. Beyond that, however, he still possesses certain qualities that are less obvious, but no less important to us: for example, extending kindness to all irrespective of identity, a determination to always keep moving forward, and courage in times of desperation. Rhodes Island is not, and should never be, a place reserved for the 'elite.' While some of our operators do have incredible abilities, and others hold prestigious positions, our cause is not just driven by these people. Every single person who aspires to make this world a better place, every little bit of power they can contribute, enables us to stand up to this hardship-choked land. So, when you find Lumen toiling away in the training grounds, or hard at work delving into the complexities of Originium Arts to no avail, it won't hurt to bring him a bottle of water and pat him on the back. After all, every little bit of progress he makes is apparent to all of us.
[Classified Log] 'Lord Carmen...' 'Jordi, starting today, you will become my disciple.' 'Y-Yes, sir.' 'This is not some sort of reward or repayment, young man. I also don't have any great expectations for you. Frankly speaking, what you bring to the table is completely mediocre, and there's nothing else worth commending other than the little bit of medical common sense you possess. You don't even have the qualifications to be drafted into the Penal Battalion.' 'Yessir, you're absolutely right.' 'Yet you still stand here in front of me.' 'I...' 'I know what you're thinking. You deem yourself a symbol, proof that the Inquisition is changing itself, proof that Iberia is extending its hand to Ægir by recruiting an Ægirian into its ranks.' '......' 'Let me ask you this, Jordi. Why did you choose to go to the Stultifera? What were you searching for there?' 'I don't know. I just...' 'You saw Dario die on that island with your own eyes. What do you think the Inquisition's sword and lantern exist for? Answer me, Ægir. Look at my eyes, and answer me.' 'They exist... so that the people have the energy to wipe the dirt off their faces, Lord Carmen.' 'What are you talking about?' 'Erm, I didn't express myself very well...' 'You said, so the people have the energy to wipe the dirt off their faces.' '......' 'There is no way for you to become a warrior. But starting from now, I will still instruct you and train you. You must become worthy of the Inquisition's burden, and you must learn to become a part of our ranks.' 'I, I know.' 'Follow me, disciple. Don't forget what you told me today.' 'Yes, Lord Carmen...' 'Starting from today, you are to call me Master.'
