Then, before I had a chance to act, it went into forced-sleep mode...|[[Sy]]|the Rescue Command Post}} Sy is incredibly interested in both [[Pikmin]] and the [[Onion]], making several statements and theories on how Onions operate: one such theory is that the Onion has a mind and will of its own.{{cite quote|Wouldn't that indicate that the Onion has a will of its own?|[[Sy]]|the Rescue Command Post}} Sy and [[Pitunia]] (coworkers on the research team) each have their own theories on the Onion: Pitunia claims that the Onion was artificial or in some way intently created, however Sy believes that because the Onion is alive with it's own will and needs it must mean that it is a natural specimen.

Kit is a research task force recruit that's studying raw materials. His name may allude to the {{w|Akita (dog)|Akita Inu}}. He is from the planet [[Siguray]]. Kit is one of many minor characters that can have different color hair this may have to do with the color the leaves were as a leafling {{cite youtube|1b0UNeacmwY|published={{date|4|September|2023}}|retrieved={{date|15|January|2024}}|m=32|s=51|showing Kit being rescued as a green leafling and having green hair}}. Kit is another member of [[Chet]]'s team. He is [[Osa]]'s junior and it is thanks to him that Kit became part of the task force. Kit is a lot more slow and methodical compared to Osa, however he admires Osa's energy. Kit has put some research into ores and minerals on [[PNF-404]] as well as [[raw material]], he had figured out that raw material is not a mineral but instead a "highly pure conglomeration of fossilized creature remains" something that has not been observed elsewhere in the universe leading Kit to believe that either it's a process that happens only on PNF-404 or through a "unknown life-fourm". Kit is very interested in minerals in one quote saying "The resources I've found on this planet are exceptional! Did you know that the purity of the minerals in the ground here is..." he cuts off before apologizing for rambling, his favorite mineral is iron and talks about oxidation. Kit claims that when he found a "beautiful ore that shimmers in all the colors of the rainbow" on PNF-404 and "it cracked when I fell to the surface" the ore may be referencing bismuth a colorful and brittle ore, this message also implies that the research crew landed on PNF-404 without issue but as they were taking off they crashed due to the fact that Kit found bismuth "here" and it cracked as he "fell to the surface".
