Background
Cal feels safest hanging at home, snooping on Coast Guard comms with a few beers and some private browser tabs open. He’s at the low tide of America — and happy there.
Role in the story
Casual paranoia loves company, but his friend Jason has bigger plans. Cal’s habit of intercepting the right chatter at the right moment makes him a recurring source of tips and warnings.
