Background

A.J. Marley is the captain of the Trans Soma emergency medical rescue vessel Nightingale 229. He is writing his doctoral dissertation in Anthropology on Tom and Jerry: Catharsis and Cathexis.

During the events of Supernova (2000) played by Robert Forster

Nick Vanzant and Marley play ping-pong. Later, Marley makes a recording for his doctoral dissertation on old Tom and Jerry cartoons. An emergency distress signal is received and Nick tells them that the signal is five days old and is a direct call specifically to the Nightingale. Nick continues that the signal is from Pohl 6822, specifically the mining operation of Titan 37.

Sweetie tells them that Pohl 6822 was expelled from its orbit and is now a rogue body. Marley tells them that due to the distance they will have to make a dimension drive jump. Sweetie then tells them that the sender of the SOS is Karl Larson. Before the dimensional jump, Marley has Kaela Evers switch dimensional stabilization units with him. They arrive at their location and find Marley's unit has malfunctioned causing him to partially fuse with the polyglass window. The Nightingale is hit by a debris storm and their fuel tanks are breached. Marley asks Kaela to kill him and she uses her laser cauterizer to kill him.
