Bobby Katz in the Commercial District

Bobby Katz's birthday is on June 11th. His parents arrive late to New Atlantis and he is almost given to foster parents.

When you first arrive at New Atlantis you see him as part of a refugee group from Starstation RE-939 beeing welcomed by UC Functionary Brooks and someone from UC Security. Brooks tries to console him because his parents Martha and Philip are missing, but Bobby is adamant that they will arrive soon.

Dialogue

He will have a unique greeting if you speak to him after his introductory scene:

"I've never been in a battle before. Everyone kept telling me to keep my eyes closed, but it's kind of hard to do that when you're running. At first I thought it was Ecliptic mercenaries shooting at us, but it wasn't. It was these other people, yelling about serpents and stuff."

Serpents?

"Yeah, it was like, "Snakes and serpents will eat you all! Aggghh! The stars will squeeze you! Agggh!" Or something like that. I think they need psychiatric help."

What does a little boy know about mercenaries?

"When it comes to Ecliptic, I know everything! It's not like it's a secret. They're mercenaries, so they work for money, and it's like... for ENOUGH money, they'll do anything. I've heard a couple of SSNN stories about them. My dad says they're horrible. Like, they can pretend they're working for someone and it's "official" so they do anything they want."

These options will progress the conversation:

The galaxy's a tough place, kid.

"Is that really an appropriate thing to say to a child?"

You've got to be the bravest kid I've ever met.

"Probably. I'm pretty brave. A kid tried to bully me once, and I punched him in the head. "Don't take shit from anybody," my mother says. And I don't."

I can't imagine losing my parents. Hang in there, pal.

"It's fine. My dad just has terrible navigation skills. Mom says it all the time. I just hope they don't take too long. I'm sure that foster family is nice, but..."

Regardless of the previous option, he will then continue:

"Anyway, I'm fine now. I hope my parents don't take too long getting here..."

Conversations

He will take part in the opening scene to New Atlantis:

UC Functionary Brooks: "I can assure you this unprovoked attack on a United Colonies research facility will not go unanswered. We'll get you settled into your new assignments as soon as possible. For you Bobby, that includes meeting your new foster par-"

Bobby Katz: "My parents aren't dead. They just took a different shuttle. I'll see them when they get here."

UC Functionary Brooks: "Oh! Well... of course... That's sure possible. We'll ju-"

Helena Chambers: "Helena Chambers. ID SSCOM1327:HCHA - I was the station administrator. I'll need to report to MAST ASAP for a full debrief. My treatment thus far has been entirely unacceptable. My authority a-"

UC Functionary Brooks: "ANY authority you had was forfeit the moment House Va'ruun Zealots breached the station's perimeter and you failed to initiate proper evacuation protocols. Thank you for your service. We'll find you a new position commensurate with your experience. And Mister Bosch, let me just say how honored I am to meet you. By all accounts, you're the only reason anyone made it out of there alive."

Ricardo Bosch: "Just glad I still remembered my flight basics. It had been a while. So was, ah... shooting a gun."

Bobby Katz: "I read all about New Atlantis. So cool. Is it true the NAT train goes 5,000 miles an hour? Or that citizens get special discounts? Or that the whole city celebrates when it's your birthday? Mine's June 11th, by the way. My parents took me to Akila City last year and it kind of smelled. But I don't smell anything here."

UC Functionary Brooks: "Um... No, yes, no, and I will certainly mark June 11th on my calendar. As for Akila City, well... the air purifiers here in New Atlantis are state of the art."

Helena Chambers: "Akila City? Oh don't even get me started on those simpletons..."

Ricardo Bosch "Little unfair, don't you think? Freestar Rangers helped me out quite a bit a couple years back. Got ambushed by Spacers near Narion. They assisted, no questions asked, even helped with some repairs so I could do an emergency jump home. Good people."

UC Functionary Brooks: "In any event... you all must be exhausted. Just give me a moment to coordinate some details with security."
