Class: Scientist
Background
A linguistic psychologist specializing in the study of inhuman minds — rats, machines, and anything else that thinks differently from a human. Took Sophontology as his master skill (the study of the behavior and mind of inhuman entities), backfilled the prerequisite expert and trained skills in psychology, and picked up an extra trained skill on top. Rolled well for stats but poorly for saves, going in already a little panicked. Equipped with a VAC suit (“armored scientist”), a rigging gun, and a scalpel. Travels with a pet lab rat he’s deeply attached to, eventually and inevitably named Jerry Jr.
Going into the job, his own contact — a hyperspace specialist friend — had already burned through one failed expedition chasing the Akigara and was counting on this lead to fund the next several.
The Akigara
Tried repeatedly to talk Isaac down psychologist-to-patient, appealing to shared goals and aligned interests; Isaac politely declined to be manipulated, citing its own engineering pedigree. Snapped Melina out of her entranced march toward a cryopod with a scalpel cut to the cheek — poor choice of words aside, it worked. During the final chase to the hangar, got an overloaded stim pack into Melina fast enough to save her from a broken neck, then narrowly dodged the pursuing golem’s bite (with an Athletics roll he only barely made), still taking a solid hit across the ribs for his trouble. Hauled Ned toward the dropship in the last stretch before the Akigara’s jump drive went critical.
