These are my final orders. Rendezvous was a failure. Intercepted a transmission from Alterra HQ, couldn't hear all the detail. Seems they sent a data package to the Aurora. That's your best hope. Consider CTO Yu and I lost at sea. Keen... out.
― Second Officer Keen, Data Downloads
Second Officer Keen was a member on board the Aurora. He escaped the crash in Lifepod 19, which landed in the Deep Sparse Reef. He was ordered by Captain Hollister to send a message to all the other survivors and regroup at the Floating Island.
Pre-Crash
Keen observes two crewmembers arguing, stating that he sees nobody at fault, however, the two blame each other. Keen says he'll rephrase what he said, claims them to both be equally incompetent. He states that they've lost time, but they're closer to the planet, and they should be able to pick up the Degasi. One of the crewmembers asks why they were even bothering to help the Mongolians, considering that they were the competition. Keen asks if he enjoyed his leave from Sanjei station, and asks if he likes having fuel in the tanks, and to thank the Mongolians. He adds that they run the scans, show them they didn't find anything and say thanks for the free dinner. The other crewmember informs Keen that they've detected something odd on the surface, and Keen demands that the recorder be shut off.
Post-Crash
After the Aurora's crash, Keen was ordered by Captain Hollister to send a message to all the other Aurora survivors, giving him coordinates to a landmass, leaving Keen to assume command. However, only he and CTO Yu made it. After the two met up, Yu wanted to search for more survivors, for which Keen attempted to stop her from doing. However, he ended up going with her, as he didn't want her going alone. He sends a message to his PDA two hours later and deems himself and Yu lost at sea.

Trivia
- As Keen was the acting commander of the Aurora after its crash, his name could be a reference to Commander Keen, a popular video game series for computer platforms in the early 1990s. This includes a later reboot title by the same name for the Gameboy Color.
