Gene (OU)

Gene was a spaceship pilot who crash-landed on Archon-7 with his passenger, Nadira.

Description
Gene was an anthropomorphic gecko-like lizard with a lean build and slicked-back hair. He was attired in light combat gear with a pair of goggles perched on his head, and appeared not to sport any visible weapons.

History
In 150,084 CMT, Gene lost control of his spaceship and crashed it into the surface of Archon-7. Gene emerged from the shipwreck unscathed but got into a heated argument with his passenger, Nadira, which ended with him being punched in the face. Once Gene had picked himself up, he followed Dee towards a nearby cave that they both hoped could provide them shelter from the ongoing sandstorm. However, Evander startled them by suddenly emerging from the cave entrance, which led Dee to draw her SMG and order Evander to identify himself. Evander claimed that he posed no threat and took a step towards them instead, but Dee fired a warning shot at his feet and forced him back into the cave. Audibly lamenting Dee's hostility, Gene followed Dee and Evander into the cave and found Trantoshen inside, who Dee also held at gunpoint and asked to state his business on Archon-7. In response, Trantoshen educated Dee about the Toa species and explained that he was on Archon-7 in search of an artifact of great power. In an attempt to break the ice, Gene formally introduced Dee and himself to Trantoshen and Evander and informed them that he and Dee had crashed their spaceship and were looking for a way off the planet. Trantoshen suggested that Evander could fix their ship, which Gene hoped was possible.

Trantoshen then showed Dee the Relic and asked if she had ever seen anything like it before, which somehow caused the Relic to emit a Jopulon energy signature that alerted DU Monarch. DU Monarch immediately teleported to their location, trapped Trantoshen and Evander in stasis fields, and ordered Dee to hand him the Relic. Instead, Dee tossed the Relic to a worried Gene and activated her combat knife, daring DU Monarch to take it from her.
