Species: Zaran
Status: Active
Known For: Engineer aboard second Goldeneye; formerly stationed at Arcanum; sarcastic, arboreal disposition
Boolay is a Zaran engineer and technician known for his role as chief engineer aboard second Goldeneye, a Zaran-built freighter repurposed by JT Austin and Suicide for operations on Amargosa. Originally assigned to the Arcanum, he maintained and refitted the freighter when it was recovered by Suicide and JT following the occupation.
Boolay is typical of his species—arboreal, sarcastic, and acerbically brilliant. He prefers to work from suspension harnesses, disdaining human-style seating, which he derisively refers to as “butt huggers.” His tendency to hoot instead of laugh is a hallmark of Zaran speech patterns, and he often peppers conversations with dry, sardonic observations.
While not formally part of Amargosa‘s provisional government, Boolay works closely with its operatives and other resistance veterans. His Zaran background and engineering expertise make him invaluable aboard the Goldeneye, especially in keeping the unconventional hybrid ship spaceworthy.
Boolay accompanied Suicide in the operation to retake the Queen Maria Sophia, still serving as engineer aboard the Goldeneye. He supports Suicide during the extraction of JT Austin and King Edward Windsor from the surface of Mud after the fall of the Marcus Aurelius and the boarding of the Queen Maria Sophia. As always, Boolay brings sharp technical skill and sharper sarcasm to the mission. Following the rescue, he temporarily transfers to the Valles Marineris with the evacuated Compact personnel. While his role is limited, Boolay remains a steady, unflappable presence—equal parts problem-solver and irreverent commentator in the middle of unfolding chaos.
