Derek Hogan is a new upcoming character. He and Andie Graham may occasionally replace Wang Chao and Finola Keegan, respectively, turning the ship into an alternate timeline version where Finola was not captured and Chao didn't make it through the mission.

Derek Hogan is in charge of Daedalus security. Strong and self-confident, he will be a definite asset for the success of this extreme mission. His past is a succession of events each more unbelievable than the next. Derek has seen it all, battlefields on Sol, Tau-Ceti suicide missions... Yet he is still looking for his soulmate. Since leaving home in a hurry, Derek has devoted his existence to all females, who are not as keen towards him as he is towards them.

Derek has a special Trait: Première fois ("First time"). The first time he does the thing, his gauge is re-filled to the maximum (+14 for a Bronze player, +16 for a Gold Mode player).

Derek's skill set consists of:

1. Shooter
2. Wrestler
3. Firefighter
4. Motivateur
   • For 1 , gives a boring speech that grants 3 to everyone in the room (Can only be done once a day)
5. Hygiéniste

Notes

• As with Andie Graham, Derek's character artwork has been done by a different artist. Mathieu "Ani" Leyssenne, the original Mush artist, no longer works with Motion Twin.
• Judging by his skills, Derek seems less focused on Mush detective work than Chao, instead leaning towards the executive function of the Mush hunt.

After a few missions Derek is posted on Xyloph-17 to oversee the Magellan expedition and report the every action of scientists working in the orbit of Jupiter. He meets Chao Wang, but they spend little time together, as he prefers the company of Xyloph-17's female passengers. Poor Derek, his terrible quality reports and his increasingly problematic contact with the female staff of the station earn him a transfer back to the field.

Derek runs small missions and manages to complete each one. Colleagues often complain of his lamentable decisions, but admit that the man is lucky. He manages with a small squad to rescue Chao Wang, who was previously sent to Encelade. In the upper echelons of the SDF, some see him as a rising star, others fear his risky methods.
