Goliath | Directly from the Wyvern massacre

[not_the_philistine]

The gargoyle who still permits the humans of Stacy to call him by a name has little love for humans, and little trust for the technology they use so casually.

Yet this technology is still an asset in his new goal of protecting the castle that is all he has left of the clan he lost. Goliath has no close friends among the department of engineers, but the quiet repairman called Billy has a humility about him that the gargoyle respects. He is a loner among his people, and that makes his company more tolerable, for all that they are both alone in the crowd that is this crew.

The gargoyle does not have to use Billy's name to make his presence known in the Engineering department. He ignores the other engineers and goes to the human's station, presenting his damaged communicator.

"I would be grateful if you would see to this matter for me."

His diction, ever formal, is not unfriendly. Goliath is rarely unfriendly with anyone. But then, he is rarely friendly with any of the crew's humans either.

As always, Billy's head lifts when he recognizes the shape of the shadow approaching him. Goliath's presence in the laboratory is a welcome sight after the isolation from his crewmates. Even if he is able to contribute more powerfully than Billy can, in a way, they both understand this feeling---which is more than he can say for many.

"How did this happen?" It's a question Billy always asks, just in case the answer reveals a design flaw in his own work. Next time, perhaps he can make it stronger. Luckily, he thinks with a small twinge, communicators have always been something of a specialty of his. He could probably repair this in his sleep.

"If it was the heat again, we've just obtained a new metal with a higher melting point. I'll see about integrating that."

"Nothing so complex. I landed on it."

Occasionally getting thrown across a room by an Ohm grunt is a common hazard among the warriors of the crew.

"I do not need it until my next mission." He doesn't use it for recreational or casual purposes, not when everyone he talks to can be reached in person. "If I hear of one in advance, I will notify you."

Billy winces---not because Goliath felt anything, but because he imagines the poor death of his precious electronic. One of the few remaining friends he has. Unlike many other things, though, his toys can be fixed! And made better!

"I'll reinforce it for you, then. There will be a limit on how strong I can make it without damaging usability, but I haven't reached it yet." His goggles are on and he's quickly checking over a list. Nothing too bad yet.

Missions are a strange part of life on Stacy. As a noncombatant he's not often chosen, and he's usually worried when he is, but so far he's come out alive---with the little strength all that martial arts training had left him, a well-wielded gun, or the protection of someone else. He never liked that last one.

"We've just disembarked, we can't be that close to another planet yet. Nevertheless, I'll hurry. Unpleasant surprises are all too common around here."

[not_the_philistine]

Unfortunately Goliath has no sympathy for electronics. They're tools. They can be fixed. They are not to be afforded care, not when everyone Goliath afforded his care is long dead or vanished, probably collecting dust in the far reaches of space.

"That is true. Then I will return in time close enough to a week to check your progress."

Billy could deliver the device, but Goliath does not, under any circumstances, allow humans - or anyone else - in his castle. There have been arguments upon this point, but none he has yet conceded.

"It should be done before then. If a mission comes up and you're called, I'll come to the deck with a spare one for you."

The deck wasn't one of Billy's favorite places. It meant missions, actions that he might've been well suited for once. But no longer.
