Gioele is the ship-owner. He is a billionaire from Earth who is obsessed by space travel, and who financed the initial Daedalus project. Faced with the Mush menace, Gioele panicked and in extremis, with the help of the designers, managed to get a job aboard the ship as a navigator. He also managed to eject a biologist from the original crew to make space for his daughter Paola.

How to play

Gioele's role is similar to Stephen, which is to assist any area which is short-staffed. This typically involves helping in the Laboratory or Nexus but can also include relaying the PILGRED Reactor advancement or scanning for planets. Stay active on the radio and see where you're needed most.

Since he walks around the entire ship, Mush Gioele has more opportunities to extract spores and spike people. Always report how and when you get Dirty to keep the crew off your back.

Bronze Tips

Solid: Gioele's first skill. Allows you to guard the Microwave and take the Superfreezer to the Icarus Bay for easier ration making. Not a great skill, but it's free.

Paranoid: Brings your total Camera count to five. Allows you to guard areas that aren't quite important enough to justify one of the first three cameras such as the Engine Room, Medlab or Icarus Bay.

Caffeine Junkie: This skill is the reason people play Gioele. If you survive long enough to see the PILGRED Reactor repaired, you can gulp down enough Coffee to do the jobs of four men!

Astrophysicist: By the time you get this skill, you already have Caffeine Junkie. A good skill, but not good enough to lose that coffee bonus.

Panic: Useless 95% of the time, worse than Caffeine Junkie the other 5%.

Victimizer: If you manage to accuse a Mush, prevents them from spiking people secretly. If you choose a human, you've either wasted your skill or actively crippled a crew member.

Silver Tips

Caffeine Junkie / Astrophysicist: Provides extra to help find planets. With the PILGRED Reactor online, you can whiz through planet scanning so fast Frieda will give up on competing with you and go inactive in the dorms.

Caffeine Junkie / anything else: Because Gioele's other skills offer one-time benefits, they have no scaling with Caffeine Junkie. Pick your favourite, use it, then pretend you're Bronze.

Gold Tips

A Gold Mode Level 4 Gioele has all the skills he needs to kick ass and drink Coffee. A Level 6 Gioele can swap Solid for Victimizer, but you'll have to decide for yourself if it's worth the cost.

Useful tips

• Establish your dominance over the coffee machine. It is your job... no, your privilege to drink that heavenly nectar.
• Don't get tunnel vision on one job. Gioele's strength is his versatility, put it to good use.
• Consider using the Anti-Grav Scooter to zip around the ship. Combined with a cup of hot java, this is a great way of finding fires and broken equipment around the ship.
  • Should your Eleesha be active and competent, however, you're best off leaving it to her until the Mush menace is defeated.

Biography

3099 

Born on Earth.

3118 

Thanks to his father's contacts, Gioele got a space as a passenger aboard the Gonzak with the mission of exploring Epsilon Indi. It was there that he met his idol GL Maubrick. Upon his return he began to study astrophysics so that he too could become an explorer one day.

3120 

The death of his father made Gioele aware of his family's financial situation. He took over his father's prison management company but changed its operation to suit his own ends: He would send the prisoners to new systems in order to carry out asteroid mining operations.

3136 

Gioele is making a fortune but has still not fulfilled his dreams. In an advertising spot on SNC he proposes a budget of 4 billion credits to whomever can propose a viable stellar ark project allowing him to link the Milky Way and Magellan's cloud.

3137 

Meets with Kuan-Ti who, the following year, delivers a gigantic World-Ark project involving 7000 people. Gioele allocates the promised budget.

3146 

The Federation wishes to participate in financing the project and brings an additional 9 billion credits which will grease the wheels in the advancement of the PILGRED reactor. The explorer, and now official government representative, Kim Jin-Su, is named as project leader.

3152 

Gioele learns quite by chance that Jin-Su and Kuan-Ti have manipulated the original project to allow the construction of a smaller exploration vessel, named the Daedalus. Continuing his investigation, he searches Kuan-Ti'"s office and finds documents proving that Mush has infected the leaders of the federation. His subsequent fear is the reason he becomes desperate to gain access to the Daedalus and join the evacuation.

3153 

As the federation reduce the frequency of payments for the project, Gioele offers additional financial support for the project to Raluca Jin-Su and Kuan-Ti. His only condition is that Nils Carlsson is removed from the team and replaced by his daughter Paola Rinaldo. The team refused.

3154 

Nils falls ill during a serious crisis between Xyloph-17 and the federation. The SDF takes control of the project, but Kim Jin-Su organizes the clandestine departure of the Daedalus. Gioele and Paola are finally taken aboard.
