Altagracia Gonzalez

Altagracia Marianne Gonzalez is an aspiring pilot. She wears a Utility Flightsuit, carries a leveled handgun with ammunition, common leveled Aid, and rare leveled Credits.

Altagracia can be found at Jake's during the night, and outside Apex Electronics otherwise.

Commentary

Her greetings include:

• "You won't find anything at Henrik's. That place is where good selection goes to die."
• "I'm gonna be a big time space pilot someday. Gonna have my own ship, my own crew, my own corporate sponsor..."
• "Jake's is a good place to meet contacts. It's got the right amount of booze, and the right amount of schmooze."
• "I'm not gonna be stuck in this place for long. All I need is a crease, and I'll turn it into a break. You'll see."
• "You think Deimos Staryards would hire me? What am I saying, of course they would. I'm the best."
• "Got pilot exams coming up. I've been studying so hard, I haven't seen the sunset in days. My last night was your last week."
• "Signed up for a test pilot program just the other day. I'm not gonna end up like these lifers and well-rats. No way. Not me."

If you stop speaking mid-conversation:

• "If you got something to say, say it. Don't leave us in suspense."
• "You still in there?"
• "Look, if you don't say something soon, I'm gonna just butt you in the head."
• "Am I supposed to put some creds in you? Get you going again?"

She will end conversations by saying:

• "Later."
• "See ya."
• "Uh-huh."

Dialogue

Are you a pilot?

"I'm working on it. Taking the UC Vanguard exams, saving up for my own ship, you know how it works."

"It's just taking a little longer than I expected."

...	Player	Response
	I've already passed the exams myself. I'm something of a pilot myself.	Damn, hot shot, what are you doing down here then? This is the last place I'd be.
	Don't worry, these things take time.	Yeah, but I ain't getting any younger. And every day in the Well is like four days topside.
	Being a pilot is hard. Give up now and save yourself the embarrassment.	Maybe it's hard for you. I'm gonna ace that test and fly circles around anyone's who's ever doubted me.

What can you tell me about the Well?

"You want food? Go to Kay's. You want an attitude? Try Jake's."

"You want to feel empty inside? Get your bags and move in."

"Seriously though, this place is half doom and all gloom. Which is precisely why I'm leaving."

...	Player	Response
	I like the Well. In fact, I have an apartment here.	Let me get this straight. You bought a house, here? With credits? It wasn't like, given to you as part of your prison sentence? Because if I had to choose between death and living here... sure, I'd still want to live, but it wouldn't be an easy choice. That's how much this place sucks.
	I like the Well.	Where'd you grow up, a septic tank? It's about the only place worse than this dump.
	Most people who grow up here don't leave.	Only because they're all a bunch of quitters whose only goal is to make it to the weekend. I got plans. I got ambition. All I need is a shot.
	I agree. This place is depressing.	Yeah. The only saving grace is, you stay here long enough, you forget about the smell.

Location Scenes

Henrik Zuran:

Hey Al. What's it gonna be?

Altagracia Gonzalez:

Ugh, how many times do I have to tell you Henrik, don't call me Al.

Henrik:

I'm not saying your whole name. It's a goddamn mouthful.

Altagracia:

You can call me Allie or Grace. Just not Al.

Henrik:

Al's easier.

Altagracia:

Al sounds like a mechanic who uses his shirt as a snot rag.

Al sounds like the guy whose favorite instrument is an armpit.

Al sounds-

Henrik:

All right, all right, Ms. Altagracia Marianne Gonzalez. Is that better?

Altagracia:

It's a start.

Altagracia Gonzalez:

Jake. Jake the Snake. Jake the Mistake. Jake the two ice creams short of a milk-

Jake:

What. Do. You. Want.

Altagracia:

A beer. And a smile would be nice. You ever try one of those on for size, Jakey boy?

Jake:

Only when you leave my bar.

To edit this section: The Boot/010 TheBoot Intro

Altagracia Gonzalez:

I'm telling you Bianchi, something's wrong with the boots you sold me.

I wear them to the Metro, suddenly the shuttle runs late.

I buy a cup of coffee, and the barista screws up my order.

It's like I'm walking under ladders with a broken mirror in my pocket.

And the only time it happens is when I'm wearing your boots.

Antonio Bianchi:

So? What do you want me to do about it?

Altagracia:

I want. A damn. Refund.

Antonio:

Fine, fine! I'll take the boots back! Just don't tell anyone you bought them from here.
