• Dr. Thomas Vilken is a distinguished physicist recognized for his original contributions which have served to advance frontiers of scientific investigations in a variety of fields. According to Fayn, “He is second in command and integral to the completion of the project”. It is said that Dr. Vilken has been involved in lots of interesting projects over the years and has received many awards and kudos for solving a wide variety of problems throughout his career, including; the "Multi-Legged Vehicle Project".

• Roger Olken is a member of the research staff at the Satin Laboratories. He is humorous, good-natured but lazy and sluggish. As a research assistant he is seen operating the terminals in the computer lab. Throughout the game he recurrently complains and expresses a strong disfavor about Dr. Fayn's attitude towards her co-workers.
• Magus Canter is a former member of the ex-Thundercloud team. Now he resides in the facility, doing the cleaning, cooking and paying attention to the medical needs of the staff.

The following are the minor characters that are responsible for some of the exotic technologies that have been employed in Zero Critical, but do not actually appear in the game.

• Prof. Norma Miller The inventor of SynCore’s first "thinking machine", IPSYSJ. She also completed a translation algorithm capable of processing 'alien' speech and translating them into plain English. Miller understood that Carson's artifact was in fact a hologram, a device for phasing between dimensions namely a "phase viewer", and the alien race who have created it must exist in an alternate dimension, the one we cannot see or imagine. A dimension of which we simply have no knowledge. She’s one of the missing passengers aboard the majestic.
• Doctor Gregg, an associate of Miller, is a prominent Neuro-Tech research scientist at SynCore. He was instrumental in developing the synapse/lattice interface required for a symbiotic to brain connection. He along with Prof. Miller and Magus Canter were a part of the ex-Thundercloud project, they are all mentioned in the game.
