Bob
is the A.I. brain that controls the Jupiter 42, the fastest ship in the galaxy but he suffers from agoraphobia, the
irrational fear of wide-open spaces.
Bob has panic attacks at the worst times, such as when the ship is being chased
or when it's halfway through an unstable wormhole. When that happens, the only thing that can get him to move is T'Nuk's uniquely vulgar brand of abuse. The fact that he responds only
to her curious fusion of drill sergeant and dominatrix makes one wonder what kind of freak must have programmed him.
"Looking through all that cold dark space gives me the willies."
"We're
all gonna die! We're all gonna die! They'll hunt us down like animals!"
"Oh, pardon me. I'll just keep my hernia to
myself."
LIKES:
- Hauling ass
- Quiet nights inside (spacedock)
- Virtual Prozac
DISLIKES:
- Performing under pressure
- Making his own decisions
- The thought of waking up to another bleak, pointless day careening through the galaxy as the unwilling conveyance of a
band of morons
SECRET AMBITION:
- To lure the entire crew into one airlock so he can jettison them all into space
