What is recorded
Site narration
- ConfirmedGlad the shop is open again (previous shopkeeper 'got kidnapped in the night or something'). Introduces himself as Chief Engineer Nellis — *The* Chief Engineer — in charge of maintaining the old rusty station. Not all Command officers sit on the Bridge. Most essential machinery is in the Lower Levels. Asks for food.
- ConfirmedAfter auxiliary life-support repairs he asks beer or snacks. Lower Levels people think the Captain only serves the Upper Levels, but Nellis says the Captain fights to keep the station together against Upper-Level demands, corporate pressure, lack of Republic help, and radical Revolutionaries. Quality of life slowly improved since he took command; no major armed conflicts since then.
- ConfirmedHe offers broken modules he just replaced.
- ConfirmedAfter a Command meeting he cannot stand Upper Level Councillors, 'completely out of touch'; department heads keep them in check. He wants drinks and treats to forget the meeting.
