Well, now. This is a bit overdue...

Where you from stranger?

2916 Lo Corel:
Me Da died minin fer Shubin.
Weren't Shubin's doin, just unlucky in a flare.
Da was always lookin fer the big strike; heavies, iso's, exotics.
Found 'em, too, 'fore he died.
Left me Miss Stake, old '49 Prospector, near hundred years old.
She aint pretty and damn slow with them coils he put on fer Odin.
But she's tough with collider-tempered joints and double plating most places.
The big drill runs 10% more megs then stock, but stays cooler then darkside.
An she's mine, free and clear.
Mostly.
Minin ship aint enough, I know. Gotta be able ta find stuff.
Learnt the spectro at my Da's knee. EM, IR, Gas Chromo... Know all the tricks.
Can quicksort rocks a hundred klicks out from albedo alone, mostly.
I'm thet good.
Never been schooled proper, but I can field strip the main thrusters in under an hour and I'm sittin on your pads askin fer this contract with saddlebags jest full of Grade A cobalt and NiFe.
Don't got the gab fer money, need a buyer.
Da chose Shubin.
Good enough fer me.​

That was a long time ago.
Me first job at Shubin. Was maybe 24-26 standard.
Never knew me birth date. Never knew me mother.
Left Shubin a long time ago, too.
Got a lot of ships, done a lot of things, since then.
Mostly had fun doin them.
I let youngsters work them, now. Mostly.
Nowadays I build racers and custom jobs on my Crucible Moaning Lisa Overdrive.
I'm good.

Retired recently.
I've taken to touring the Verse with my wife Vibrant Penumbra in a custom Mako.

What drew you to Star Citizen?
Watching a chance streamer finish a dog-fight, land at Kareah and hop out of his ship... blew me away. Blew away the other fellers, too.

What do you look forward to most in Star Citizen? (PVP, Exploration, etc)
Modding. Customizing ships. Exploring. Touring.

What was the first game you remember playing?
Hammurabi programmed on a mainframe with punch cards. Or maybe it was Star Trek. Or Adventure. Hard rememberin thet far back, aint it?

What other games do you play?
Neverwinter Nights (I am curator of the Vault). Space Engineers (I like to make things)

How did you first hear about Test Squadron and what convinced you to join?
Third day in the Verse I won a Reliant Tana from SkyyHawk... been a loyal fan since then. Gotta have a sense of humor

Picard or Kirk?
Commander Sinclair
