Being a Navigator, maybe I was temporarily on the base waiting for a new assignement, and started after a few days to notice the strange beheaviour of the more permanant staff, and decided to look into it? How does that sounds? About my goals, as I am from the Industrials, I saw my parents being used basically as slaves by the governamemt, and so decided from an early age to enroll in the navy, climb in rank, until I could captain one of their ship, then defect and becoming a rogue asset, disrupting their trade lanes and giving back to tge people in the small amout I could. So he obviously raised in rank up to navigator, and I think it's only an unhappy coincidence that Harlock waits his next assignment at this particular station. He doesn't miss the occasion to see there's something aloof in the station, that may (or may not) help him in his endevor (I think it fits the narative well and fits also his power hungry trait)
What do you think? I'm happy to chanve everything if need be :)) Also, my items include a "weapon" but I do not know what weapon! Shod I make a roll for that?
