Seriously injured during an over-ambitious raid against the rebels on Sol, Terrence spent 6 months in a coma. He returns to civilian life broken and bruised, stuck in a wheelchair. Terrence decided to dedicate his life to advanced engineering and the creation of drones. His life's dream is to develop unmanned fighter craft and remote-controlled drones.

How to play

Terrence is very tricky character. As him you will have three main task: upgrading Drones, NERON projects, collecting metal scrap (and sometimes killing Hunters). Also you can't move like normal person, so you should plan your movements and remember that leaving occupied room have no cost () for you.

Bronze Tips

It isn't a good choice to choose this character if you are Bronze, because you will have limited potential and possibility to focus only on one of your tasks.

Your first three skills determine the function that you fulfill on the ship:

Robotics Expert: (upgrading Drones). Your first and unique skill. It allow you to upgrade your Drones, but it don't help you in enything else (except a few insignificant projects). It is good choice if you aleady have Technician on board.

Technician: (NERON projects). If no one else have it you have to take it. But you won't be able to recive from your character personal objective.

Pilot: (killing Hunters, collecting scrap). You should only take it if you have 1 or less active Pilots. Technician is more valuable.

Next three skills support your first skills. you shouldn't take them when you are Bronze:

Shooter: support killing Hunters

IT Expert: support NERON projects

Metalworker: alternative metal scrap source, your unique skill.

Silver Tips

You can focus on two of your tasks (which is recommended) or specialize in one discipline.

Robotics Expert / Technician: (upgrading Drones & NERON projects). The first possible set of skills, but also the most effective. You can work in the Nexus, waiting for the opportunity to improve Drone. You have to rely on others when it comes to acquiring scrap.

Robotics Expert / Pilot: (upgrading Drones, collecting scrap & occasionally killing Hunters). If your crew have Technicnian and you don't have enought Pilots for acquiring scrap you can take this matter into their own hands.

Robotics Expert / Metalworker: (upgrading Drones & acquiring aditional scrap). You should take it only, if you have active Technicians and Pilots. In another case, not taking Technician or Pilot would be a great loss.

Technician / IT Expert: (improved NERON projects). If you don't like Drones, you can focus entirely on the projects, also it is a way.

Pilot / Shooter: (improved killing Hunters, collecting scrap). See Pilot in Bronze Tips.

Gold Tips

You should always take your main skills: Robotics Expert, Technician and Pilot. The fourth skill depends on which of your character's tasks you will be specialized. (If you don't want use space ships you can drop Pilot and take IT Expert and Metalworker)

Useful tips

You can negotiate with Eleesha and Gioele about taking Anti-Grav Scooter, so you will can move easier.

Biography

3110 

Born on a military base on Encelade.

3126 

Terrence was enrolled in the space scouts of Encelade for 16 years where he learned to handle a weapon and a Jet vacuum. There he discovers a talent for wheeling and dealing.

3129 

After failing his studies in military engineering, Terrence joins the SDF flotilla. His talents as a pilot are recognized, but he has some issues integrating with the team.

3146 

During the Sol war, Terrence's fighter craft explodes in mid-flight within Mars' atmosphere. he manages to eject but due to a faulty thruster his survival capsule crashes into the ground at over 120 Km/h. Terrence survives the impact but lost the use of both legs.

3147 

Terrence was a late starter in his robotics studies on Ganymede. He is particularly interested in nanorobotics and artificial intelligence courses. It was in the latter that he came to meet Janice Kent, a young cyber-psychology student.

3148 

Janice and Terrence created the first drone with a class C learning capability and it's own evolving character together. They receive the Redmoon prize for this and set up their research laboratory on Callisto.

3149 

The SDF military subsequently propose funding for the project. Their goal is to improve the learning capabilities of the drone looking to employ the drones in armed conflicts on Tau-Ceti and Ross154. The absence of a biological nervous system make these drones the perfect weapon against the Mush.

3150 

Janice leaves the project. Terrence continues the work alone, but is soon stalled by another difficulty: The SDF funding payments become more and more infrequent and eventually stop altogether. The announcement of the construction of the IOM cannon confirms Terrences suspicions as to the reasons behind their sudden disinterest. He now has to find another source of investment.

3152 

Terrence receives a disturbing message from Janice. The Mush invasion of the Federation has been going for at least two years. The directors of the Federation and the SDF are infected and the retaking of the rebel systems is simply a cover-up. Terrence leaves for Xyloph-17 where he meets Janice's new team. Their project is to build a new ship capable of leaving this galaxy.

3153 

Terrence's drones turn out to be extremely useful in the construction of the Daedalus. By linking them to the vessel's AI core, named NERON, Janice manages to further increase their productivity.

3154 

After the SDF seize control of the laboratory, Terrence has no choice but to flee with the crew of the Daedalus. He is safe, but wiped out: All his work along with his 32 assistant drones have been left behind on Xyloph-17.
