ENTERTAINER

The frontier needs all kinds of people to make life bearable. Everyone knows about the pilots, engineers, Company shills, security guards, scientists, and medics. But that’s not you. You’re an entertainer—a performer, croupier, unofficial club owner, waiter, barkeep or other profession, one of the unsung folks who make life in a rundown, ratshit place bearable. At the end of a long day the roustabouts and mechanics, lab technicians and cleaners, all need a friendly face and an hour or two where they can forget how tough their life is. Your job is to provide exactly that. That’s what you do. You make life bearable on the frontier.
