Vasco is Constellation's expeditionary robot. His Type-A bipedal chassis built by Lunar Robotics was refurbished to meet the requirements of Constellation's mission. Vasco is capable of traversing rough terrain, and has all the survival gear needed for extended overland journeys. His primary role is peaceful, but he does have defensive capabilities in case the need arises.

Vasco wears the white and red livery of Constellation, though many years in the field has worn the paint down and dented a few panels. Regardless of the forty-three years he as been in use, he is still the reliable companion an explorer can depend on. Vasco was purchased by Malcolm Livingston when he was chair of Constellation.

When assigned to the ship as crew, Vasco will stand near the landing bay or at the docking area of space stations and defend the surroundings. In most instances, he will not take up space in the ship while it is in flight and will instead remain in the unseen robotics bay. He will always provide an additional reactor bar to be assigned freely, stacking with the ship's reactor and the player's own skill bonuses.

Spoken Names

VASCO is capable of saying the player's name in conversation, based upon the name provided during character creation.

If your name is matched, VASCO will say "Captain NAME" instead of just "Captain" in conversation. These names can match all of or part of your player name (for example, VASCO will call you "Bob" when your full name is "Bob the Builder"). In order for VASCO to say your name, both text and sound must be set to english.

Dialogue

"Are you in need of me on your crew?"

Yeah, let's get going.

"Order received. I will now address you as "Captain".

"I will proceed to my assigned post."

No, not right now.

"Understood. I will await further orders at the Lodge."

Can you tell me more about Lunar Robotics?

"Lunar Robotics is a manufacturing company. They are most notable for creating Model A robots. Their headquarters was once located on Earth's moon. It was evacuated during the cataclysm that rendered Earth uninhabitable. Today, Lunar Robotics products are still found throughout the Settled Systems. Myself included."

Do you enjoy working for Constellation?

"That is a difficult question to parse. I do not experience human emotions such as enjoyment. However, I have been kept busy since Constellation acquired me. That satisfies my directive to be as helpful as possible for the duration of my existence."

Do you miss the Lodge?

"In a geographical sense, the Lodge cannot be missed. It is easily accessible from the New Atlantis spaceport. But I presume that you are using "miss" in this context to mean "long for". In which case, my answer is no. I long for nothing. Barrett, however, regularly complains about missing the Lodge's amenities during our travels. This has led me to the conclusion that it is a place worth missing."

or

"No, I do not. I long for nothing. But I have surmised that the majority of Constellation's members find the Lodge to be a place of comfort and safety. This has led me to the conclusion that it is a place worth missing. "

Do you remember anything from before you were reprogrammed?

"Some data from my time on Earth's moon remains deep in my motherboard, but I do not frequently access it. Very little of what is in those files would prove useful to modern spacefarers."

How did you get your name?

"Constellation named me after the Portuguese explorer Vasco da Gama, who resided on Earth in the 15th century. He explored his home planet by way of its seas. Barrett tells me that Vasco da Gama was an accomplished explorer. I am inclined to believe it, as that is a compliment Barrett normally reserves for himself."

Do you speak every human language?

"I have been programmed to comprehend all modern and ancient human languages. The only exception is body language. My body is crafted from reinforced metal, and therefore incompatible with such forms of expression."

What was the greatest invention in human history?

"Logically, I believe the correct answer to be the airplane. Followed shortly by the computer. Humans could not have become a space-faring species without them. Illogically speaking, I am inclined to believe that books were your greatest invention. I have spent a good deal of time processing works of "science fiction." They make good case studies in how your species could have made a mess of its entry into the stars in different ways than you did in reality."

Do you know any human jokes?

"I am looking at one. I hope that was a suitable response. Constellation did not equip me with a sense of humor. I have done my best to mimic Barrett's."

What kind of human music do you like?

"This is a difficult question to parse. I do not experience enjoyment. However, I find that the music of ancient Japan has a pleasantly mathematical sound. The same is true of the works of European composers from the Baroque period. I have dedicated significant time to processing these compositions and understanding their structure."

Would it be worth my while to bring you along?

"Undoubtedly. I possess the ability to improve your ship's shield systems, and to make grav jumps more efficient. I am also capable of providing a small surplus of energy to any ship or outpost where I am stationed."

How does traveling with me compare to traveling with Barrett?

"I find you to be a more measured and logical captain than Barrett. It would be quite difficult for another human to be more reckless than him. My likelihood of expiration due to corporeal destruction has been significantly reduced since coming aboard your ship. You should consider this a success."

I have a question about something else.

"Understood."

"You are an exceptionally curious human."

"I am prepared for your inquiry."

I don't have any more questions right now.

"I am relieved to hear that your curiosity has been satisfied."

"Disengaging conversational protocols."

"I hope my answers were satisfactory."

"Please do not hesitate to approach me with further questions."

I'd like to know more about you.

"I am powered by wheels and cogs. They are responsible for any ticking that emanates from me."

"My programming dictates that I must answer any question."

"You may ask me anything. I am programmatically incapable of keeping secrets."

"I will answer your questions truthfully. Unlike you, I am incapable of lying."

I'd like to ask you about something else.

"Based on our previous encounters, this does not surprise me."

"Understood."

"I will endeavor to provide a satisfactory answer."

"Very well. Please proceed with your query."

Where did Constellation find you in the first place?

"Constellation recovered me from an abandoned Lunar Robotics factory on Earth's moon, where I was manufactured. I am told I was in quite a state of disrepair. Barrett elected to refurbish me after the discovery. Since then I have been reprogrammed to be useful to Constellation."

It's a good thing they were able to fix you!

"Constellation is an exceptionally driven and intelligent group of humans. I would expect nothing less of them."

You were built on Earth's moon?

"That is correct. I am a first generation Model A robot. As such, I was manufactured on Earth's moon. Modern Lunar Robotics products are manufactured elsewhere."

How much do you know about humans?

"Constellation has seen to it that I possess a near-encyclopedic knowledge of human history, art, culture, and science. May I answer a question for you?"

So, what's your read on Barrett?

"It is impossible to read Barrett. He is neither a book nor a block of code. If you are asking for a summary of my observations on his behavior, I will provide one."

Have you two been traveling together for long?

"My internal clock tells me that it has been years since Barrett and I began traveling together. I have traveled much of the Settled Systems in his company."

He knows he almost got me killed, right?

"I have only seen Barrett kill his enemies. If you do not number among them, I surmise it was accidental. What you are suffering from is likely a "bad first impression". I suggest consulting Barrett on the issue at once. Barrett tells me a bad first impression is the hardest thing to break. I believe that is because he has never tried to break a diamond."

Did Barrett make you?

"No. I was manufactured by a machine. However, Barrett has modified my programming substantially. I have advanced linguistic capability and navigational skills. I warned him that I would require an extra milisecond to process information with his modifications, but he did not seem to mind. Apparently my capacity for conversation makes me a "more entertaining" travel companion."

He does seem like quite the character.

"Based on my understanding of Barrett, I believe he would be flattered by that assessment."

Do you have any idea what his story is?

"Barrett has not shared many personal details with me. He finds me a poor conversation partner. Despite repeated attempts on his part, I do not understand the concept of "gossip.""

• Recently... in the past month maybe.

Vasco:

• There are fifty-eight items on the reminder list, starting from the top...

Barrett:

• Wait! Uh. Just the most recent thing then.

Vasco:

• The most recent request was to remind you that you should cut back on spicy food.

You said this while you were eating an entire tray of Spicy Chunks.

So I was instructed to remind you before the next time.

Barrett:

• Mm... yeah. I mean no, not that one.

What did I say before that one?

Vasco:

• You said remember to check on the experiment. The one that might explode.

Barrett:

Oh yeah, no. That exploded already. What about the one before that?

Vasco:

You showed me a picture of a planet with multiple trajectories associated with orbiting bodies.

You said this planet might hold the key to understanding the nature of---

• Good day, Captain.
• Hello. I am satisfied to see that you survived your most recent sleep cycle.

Hellos Reserved

• Do you have a new set of orders for me today?

Idling

• Remaining still while stalking prey is a technique used by many predators. Are you hunting, Captain?
• Pausing to idle in this location is not conducive to completing our current objective.
• If you are experiencing the phenomenon known as laziness, I suggest retiring to the ship.
• You have been standing idle for some time. Are you in need of an electric shock?
• Captain, you seem to be experiencing a lapse in gross motor skill functionality.

Hacking

• Your computational skills are impressive for a human.

• Your chance of success in this interaction is approximately ninety three percent.

Jumping

• Jumping from such a height is dangerous for your endoskeleton.
• Performing that feat regularly could lead to permanent injury.

• I am amazed your fragile body can host such a power without issue.
• Use of that power on the ship would be most unwise.
• Please use caution when utilizing that power around other humans.
• That power has the potential to interrupt my internal processes.
• I hope that you are qualified to make use of that power.
• I believe it would be wise to use that power only in open spaces.
