"That diplomatic staff key card was a life-saver. The Haqhans are all over the maintenance and staff areas, so getting to go through the shiny, clean staff areas let me avoid trouble."
Still no answer.
"You're still alive, right?"
A hissing, then a synthesized voice answers, "Yes."
Oh. A Gosoon. The residents of the twin planets Gosoon and Golater were mostly aquatic species. If the lights were on, you'd have seen the aquasuit immediately, of course.
Mostly, you've just been following him around because he has a gun.
"Contacts," the synth grinds out out as the light come back- whoa, those are close. The hat-crabs, as they've been nicknamed, scuttle at you on their three chitin-plated legs. He opens up with three-round bursts of his rifle.
This. This is why you followed him. After all, it lets you conceal your dark past as...
<A> A career criminal. Mobster, basically. Ironically, it was your ambassador's connections to organized crime that got you this gig.
<B> A gang member. In the slums of Earth, you do what you need to for survival, even if it doesn't make you proud.
<C> A UN spy. Some retirement you're having. Oh, and the bit about being bad with guns earlier was a lie. Need-to-know basis and all that.
<D> A megacorporate spy. You did... some bad things... in the name of the bottom line. You're lucky you managed to get out of that business alive, no pun intended (Pun totally intended).
<E> A former cultist. Yeah, your parents were a little nutty and you had an interesting childhood. It would be unwise for the Haqhans to get too close to that cleaver of yours.
<F> What!? No! You don't have a dark past! You're an upstanding citizen! Why are people making these assumptions?
<G> A Homicidal Cyborg. That's also a dark present, though. Also, you're about to backstab the Foud'n security staff person dood.
