The Driver hums to themselves as they steer, eyes fixed on the horizon and the promise of horizons beyond. Every risk is carefully calculated. Occasionally they allow themselves the thrill.

Actions Requirements Effects Notes
Speak to the Judicious Driver
The crew have stopped complaining when the Driver takes the wheel.
Changes after changes
"I thought I'd miss it. The Verdance. Not being alone. The invulnerability. Funny, despite the feeling I almost died. I thought my fear could only be conquered by the thing inside of me – now I see I was wrong. Oh, I know I don't have to be reckless all of the time..." Their hands spin on the wheel. You grab a strap and hold on for dear life as the train careens through a field of space debris, just missing the largest chunk with a perfectly timed burst of the jets. The Driver grins. "But some of the time? That's another story!"
Speak to the Judicious Driver
They steer with a smooth, earned confidence.
Confident driving
"Another Captain taught me an important lesson. It's sometimes good to be reckless, but only if you've the smarts to know when. I'm still learning that, Addressed As(SpeechFormal), one day at a time." They swerve out of the way of an incoming asteroid, just a little later than necessary. And grin.
A Secondment: Listen to the Driver's suggestion
Recently, they've been roaming the corridors of your engine, whistling and getting in the way. Is there something they want?
An idle fancy
The Driver blinks. "Can't keep anything from you, I see. I've been feeling a bit on edge. Would like to make myself useful, if I can. There's races at the Royal Society. Maybe we could go there, and you could drop me off for a bit? I could make us both a bit of money." They take out a coin and flip it in the air. It comes down on heads. "Just a thought, anyway."

Game note: The Driver will join the Rochester Club to take part in races and generate winnings for you while on Secondment.
