Searcher 009: Vernon and Cosmo

Sound By @duskosound

In a past life, Vernon was a supplies runner during the Great Arthropod War, the battle against the giant genetically altered bug army. Piloting an agile ship to go in and out of dangerous areas to reinforce the frontlines.

During the war his ship was boarded and ransacked by bugs, causing it to crash. Stranded in the planet's decimated forest, he befriended a small critter who was starved, searching for food. Vernon had an energy bar in his jacket pocket, opened it up, took a bite from it and offered it to the critter and went on his way. The creature pursued, refusing to leave his side. Little did he know, this offering had created a bond between them. Giving into the new bond, he then named him Cosmo.

Since then he lays low, piloting a cargo ship for off planet shipping, smuggling glimmer out of Vulture City for the Lightbringers. People don't usually question him as he always puts on a mean looking demeanor, which combined with his scars, scares off any thoughts of ill doings.
