Colony Ship update #31 - The interface

[Binky]

Bill Garrett had been 14 years old and on his own for one whole week when he got his first lesson on human nature, a double-cross which cost him every credit to his name. After that he began to pay attention, and what he learned was that smooth talk and manners were a blind. Every man was a snake and a back-shooter if you gave him the chance and, except for smelling better, women were the same. Better to save the talk and do your shooting first. That way you control the situation. That way you stay alive.

Bill has spent the intervening decades taxing the Ship's organic recycling systems with the remains of everyone who got on his wrong side. Many of them didn't know what side they were on until they saw the muzzle flash. With a reputation almost as big as the Ship itself, no one approaches Bill Garrett unless they have business with him, of one kind or another.

I don't think there'll be any dialogue checks with this guy as your party member. Shoot first, ask questions later. The questions being, "Where can we find more people to kill? Do all people make such funny noises when they die? etc."
