@ Lakritze: I am the first to admit that a little bit of the typical "Karen" jokes goes a LONG way. Honestly, it was really the haircut on the artwork that made me laugh, and I only used Karen so most anyone would instantly relate. In all other ways, Cletus' mother is actually not a "Karen" in the classic sense--she is actually very nice to all of the other Starfinders, and even to her servers at the local Absalom Station Space-Applebees! Her unfortunate haircut is the only thing that causes me to laugh just a bit. Otherwise she is simply an overbearing (but very loving) mother that makes Cletus a little grumpy. It's obviously not my intent to offend or make anyone feel bad, especially a fellow player who I am enjoying playing this scenerio with. In many ways, this Karen is breaking many "Karen" stereotypes.

Cletus' comm device lights up with a recorded holo transmission from his mother. "Cletus honey, I hope this isn't a bad time, but..."

Cletus curses and shuts off his comm device, and returns to optimizing the engines.

Suddenly, a comm device left on the table near the dwarf's backpack begins ringing.

A hologram of a matronly dwarven woman pops up above the comm device's projector. "Cletus...CLETUS! Are you there? Are you doing one of your little starfinder adventures again? Please don't forget your anti-emetic. You know how you get sometimes when you're nervous."

The woman looks around and sees all of you. "If any of you see my Cletus, tell him to call his Mother. And please, someone make sure he brought is stomach medicine..."

The communication then ends.

I am feeling somewhat sheepish, as Arlo replied to the discussion group in Valen's Starfinder game that he ran (and it has recently ended, much like this one). I believe my character from the Starfinder game will reply here. Actually, his mother will.

This is all clearly my Cletus' fault. He runs off and joins this 'Starfinder' group, and then gives me absolutely terrible directions on where to pick him up! And who are all you people? Have you met my son Cletus? Always running around with that stupid drone of his? I hope he didn't have to take that stomach medication of his. His digestive system always gets tied in knots when he does his Starfinder things..."

Thank you Valen. Both Cletus and Arlo have their chronicle sheets.

-LATER-

Karen Gravelfinger arrives at the Lorespire complex to pick up Cletus and take him home. "Cletus! I can't believe you let that poor android lay there on that alien planet!"

Karen turns to T Ox32O. "I'm so sorry. He's usually quite considerate. I hope you're doing better after almost getting bit in half by that creature. CLETUS! Come with me. We're going home. Did you take your stomach pills today?"

Cletus looks dejected as he leaves all of you.

The memory of Karen Gravelfinger resonates in Cletus' mind as he peers down the corridor on this boney ship.

"You should have listened to me. I knew these Starfinder's would just be trouble for you. You should have been happy with your work on the Roger Glip Gorp show each morning, but no, you had to go off on your little adventures. You probably didn't even take your stomach medicine...."

A matronly dwarven woman enters the conference room. "Has anyone seen my Cletus yet? This is his first day with the Starfinders, and someone told me he would be here. He forgot this--would one of you make sure he gets it? When he gets excited, he gets a bit of a stomach condition, so he might need this."

The dwarven woman smiles broadly at all of you, and hands Kybosh an antiemetic medicinal. "Could you give this to him? I'm sure he'll be along anytime."
