Eric

An overweight, greasy-looking cook employed in the barracks mess hall at the Voss Campus. Originally known only as “The Cook” when Ronnie first approached him about a supply-stealing side hustle in Session 01, his name was revealed in Session 02 when he turned Ronnie on to Xander, a scientist in the Voss Dynamics R&D department looking to sell a drained meteorite fragment on the black market.

Eric’s willingness to broker deals and his connections across the base — from mess hall logistics to R&D scientists — suggest he operates as a middleman within an underground economy at the Voss Campus. His role as mess hall staff provides natural access to supply logistics, inventory systems, and informal communication networks throughout the barracks.
