Amundsen Barrett, who typically goes by Barrett, is a member of Constellation and a potential companion. He is an eccentric, intelligent man with a pronounced sense of humor. He is scientifically minded, but approaches most situations with a laid-back, seemingly carefree attitude. His oddness is often referenced and appreciated by other members of Constellation. He is remarkably at ease with dangerous situations and familiar with risk. With few exceptions, he is rarely caught lacking for a response to what he encounters and is generally excited by discovering new things.

Before joining Constellation, Barrett worked as a United Colonies physicist. By the recommendation of Sarah Morgan and former chair Aja Mamasa, he joined Constellation in 2305, where he met his late husband Ervin Madani. Ervin died in the Colony War. Beyond Barrett's surface level antics, he demonstrates grief over the loss of his husband and struggles to come to terms with Ervin's death.

He is largely responsible for setting the events of the game in motion by having unearthed multiple artifacts. Two years prior to the events of the game, Barrett discovered Artifact SIGMA in the Constellation archives and received a vision from it. He then commissioned Argos Extractors to excavate two other artifacts, one on Ka'zaal and one on Vectera. Both digs were supervised by Lin. On the latter commissioned dig, he encounters the Player.

As the previous captain of the Frontier, he attracted the attention of the Crimson Fleet. Following the dig on Vectera, he entrusts command of the ship to the Player, with Vasco as a companion.

Like all members of the group, Barrett wears a unique version of the Constellation spacesuit with his skill patches sewn onto the left shoulder. Initially, he uses a (non-inventory) modified Eon, and will self-upgrade to a modified Sidestar with .27 Caliber ammunition. Because he does not have any weapon-specific skills, he is better as ship crew than field operations. Occasionally, he provides various food items.

Related missions[edit]

Personal

New Game Plus[edit]

Should the player opt to replay the main quest in NG+, Barrett will be found as usual in the mission Back to Vectera. If the player chooses to skip the MQ and immediately reveal they are Starborn, the mission will also be skipped and Barrett will be found waiting at the moon's Mining Outpost where he may be recruited.

Barrett's quest Worlds Apart may also be started early with a Starborn-specific dialogue option. While this quest guarantees access to an extra tier of the power Parallel Self, Temple Sigma may also be part of the NG+ rotation and can be found naturally or by asking Vlad for temple locations. As such, it is optional to fulfill Barrett's quest to level up this particular power in NG+.

Quotes[edit]

  • "You know what I hate about these pirates? Completely resistant to my otherwise irresistible charm." --Barrett's remark hints at his ongoing conflict with the pirates, although it falls short of escalating to the point where they engage in immediate hostilities. His statement implies that he typically relies on his charismatic nature to navigate such encounters, making him surprised by the unexpected resistance shown by the pirates. It underscores his confidence in interpersonal skills while expressing his bewilderment at the pirates' uncharacteristic response.

Wants to Talk[edit]

While Barrett is a follower, he will from time to time ask to talk. These talks each have an opportunity to change his affinity.

For players with the Empath trait, choosing answers that he likes will temporarily improve your combat and persuasion. Instead of flirting, it is usually better to choose these answers. This will also increase affinity more quickly.

There are additional options depending on career, skills, and starborn status.

Andreja and Barrett[edit]

To edit this section: Andreja/Convo Barrett01

Andreja:

  • Barrett, I know you have explained it before, but I still do not understand...
  • I still do not "get it." Could you try explaining one more time?
  • I have been thinking about it, but I still do not understand your reasoning.

Barrett:

  • This again? Okay, let me try one more time.
  • I don't know how else I can explain it to you.
  • Does the phrase "agree to disagree" ring a bell? Okay, I'll give it one more shot.

Barrett:

  • All I'm saying is that I consider it a win if I can talk my way out of a fight. Outwit my opponent..
  • It's pretty simple: If I can use my wits and charm to avoid a fight, that's how I prefer to do things.
  • It's better to talk things out than to slug them out. I'd rather outwit someone than out... punch them.

Andreja:

  • But why would you avoid a fight?
  • You have the chance to prove yourself the superior combatant, and you do not take it?
  • But fighting is so much simpler...

Barrett:

  • I knew this wasn't going to get us anywhere.
  • You are something else, you know that?
  • Well, I gave it a shot. I'm sure we'll do this again sometime.
To edit this section: Andreja/Convo Barrett02

Andreja:

  • All right, Barrett. I have a new one.
  • Barrett, I would like to make another attempt.
  • Barrett, would you like to hear a joke?

Barrett:

  • Okay, I'm going to stop you right there.
  • Now hang on a second.
  • Wait, wait! Don't say a word.

Barrett:

  • If it starts with "knock knock"... Just don't even.
  • Is it a pun? It's a pun, isn't it. Probably a terrible one.
  • It better not have something to do with an animal crossing a road.

Andreja:

  • Argh. Never mind, then.
  • Well, then just forget it.
  • How do you always know?

Barrett:

  • Ha!
  • Ha ha!
  • Ha ha... Oh, wow.

Barrett:

  • Hey, you're trying, and that's what matters.
  • Keep working on it. You'll get there.
  • Look at it this way: you got a laugh without even telling the joke. That's gotta count for something.
To edit this section: Barrett/Convo Andreja01

Barrett:

  • Okay, Andreja. I've got an idea. You're going to love it.
  • Andreja! Hey... so, I want to try something out. Got a second?
  • Andrejaaaaa!
Andreja!
I've got the perfect plan this time. I promise.

Andreja:

  • From our previous interactions, I can only assume this will be a frustrating experience.
  • I am not certain that I believe you based on similar conversations that we've had.
  • I cannot fathom where this conversation is going.

Barrett:

  • Okay. I'm going to teach you how to dance. Take my hand.
  • We're going to listen to some old Earth music. Jazz. You're going to love it.
  • I'm going to show you how to make a margarita. I even got little umbrellas! They're adorable!

Andreja:

What is the purpose of this activity?

Barrett:

  • It's... fun?
  • Everybody loves this stuff!
  • I dunno, I'm bored. Why not?

Andreja:

  • I decline.
  • No.
  • I opt out.

Barrett:

  • Well, you know where to find me if you change your mind.
  • Well, the offer never expires.
  • I'll check back with you later, if you want.
To edit this section: Barrett/Convo Andreja02

Barrett:

Andrejaaa!

Andreja:

Why do you draw out the vowels of my name in such a prolonged manner?

Barrett:

It's like say "hey" and your name at the same time! It's friendly!

Andreja:

I do not see how that would be friendly. My name is my name and it should not be altered without my permission.

Barrett:

You know, I hadn't thought about it that way, but that's entirely fair.

Andreja:

Did you have a question for me or did you just want to attempt to say my name?

Barrett:

I just wanted to check in with you and make sure all was well.

Andreja:

I appreciate that. All is well.
Thank you... Baaaaarreeeett.

Barrett:

Okay, point made, Andreja.
To edit this section: The Lodge/Convo26 BarrettAndreja

Barrett:

  • Hey, Andreja. I hope all is well with you?
  • Andreja. Everything going okay?
  • Andreja! Hey. Having a good day, I hope?
  • Aha! Andreja. Are you doing all right?

Andreja:

  • It is.
  • Indeed.
  • Yes.
  • I am.

Barrett:

  • Good, good.
    So, I've got some new board games... Vasco and I could use another player if you're interested?
  • So, once a month or so we like to have a movie night around here... you can pick the next movie if you want?
  • So I was thinking about cooking a big meal for everybody... if you're interested, I'd love an extra hand?
  • Noel and I are going to set up an experiment to artificially simulate metallic hydrogen under extreme pressure. You in?

Andreja:

  • I am not.
  • I decline.
  • No.
  • I do not want to be involved.

Barrett:

  • No worries, no worries.
    Maybe another time, right?
  • Hey it's okay, we do this a lot. Maybe next week instead?
  • That's quite all right. Maybe another time then.
  • If you feel up to it later, let me know.

Andreja:

  • I will not change my mind about this.
  • I doubt it.
  • No. I do not think so.
  • I appreciate the attempt to pull me into your activity. But no.

Cora and Barrett[edit]

To edit this section: The Lodge/Convo23 BarrettCora

Barrett:

Hello Cora. What are you reading these days?

Cora:

I'm reading a book about plants written by somebody from Constellation a hundred years ago!
He wrote about this experiment with some xerophytes that he found on ten different planets!
It's amazing! He made a brand new kind of plant! Like he did it all himself.
It's so wow!

Barrett:

Wow that sounds really...
Wait.
What's the author's name?

Cora:

  • Like, Marvin Madani or something.

Barrett:

  • From a hundred years ago, huh.

Cora:

I'll put the book back when I'm done, don't worry!

Matteo and Barrett[edit]

To edit this section: The Lodge/Convo13 BarrettMatteo

Matteo:

  • Hey, Barrett. We're just doing some scans on the, uhh, the artifacts. Have you seen the, uhh... the thing?
  • I was just going to do some scans, and I was looking... for, y'know, the thing.
  • Hey Barrett, I can't find the... The thing, for scanning. Have you seen it?

Barrett:

  • You're going to have to give me a little more to go on, pal. Which thing are you looking for?
  • Matteo, we've got, like, several dozen 'things' that might be useful. Can you narrow it down a little bit?
  • I would love to help you, but I'm going to need just a bit more information.

Matteo:

  • You know, the... the thing. The one with the, uhh, the prongs? Is that what they are? The bit that sort of sticks out, with the... you know...
  • Oh, come on, you know what I mean, right? The thing! The one that has the screen, with the dials...
  • Ah, right. Well, it's the one with the plugs, and the little probe things that you clip on, and... uhh...

Barrett:

  • You have no idea what you're looking for, do you.

Matteo:

  • No, I do not.
  • Not a clue. Noel told me, and I have forgotten.
  • No, but I have good intentions. That should be enough, right?

Barrett:

  • I will find you something to play with.
  • Okay, don't worry. I'll track something down for you.
  • All right, I will find and bring you an array of devices that may or may not serve your purpose. Sound good?
To edit this section: The Lodge/Convo25 BarrettMatteo

Matteo:

  • Barrett! The book I left for you in your room is about the commonality of spiritual beliefs... did you have a chance to read it?
  • My friend... I sent you a wonderful discussion about old Earth religious beliefs the other day.
    Did you have time to listen to it? I found it to be very enlightening.
  • Oh... Barrett, have you already read that text I sent you on the nature of the human soul?

Barrett:

  • Yes, Matteo. I'm aware of those philosophical stances already.
  • I must have missed it... but it's okay, Matteo. I'm reasonably aware of these philosophies.
  • Matteo, I mean this sincerely my friend... I don't think I need more information to understand the gist.

Matteo:

  • I find it to be truly fascinating how so many beliefs have so much in common. Don't you?
  • It is so interesting to me that all sorts of people came to similar conclusions.
  • I love how similar themes about the goodness of humanity shine through in so many of these texts.

Barrett:

  • Yet so much differs between the philosophies... surely that is also significant?
  • Commonalities do not correlate to actualities, my friend.
  • Seekers prefer the mathematical union of all beliefs... I prefer the intersection... the shared humanistic foundations.

Matteo:

  • The differences in thought are situational based on the history of the people whose lives it enhances.
  • I think about that too, but things involving humans may be flawed in translation, don't you think?
  • I prefer to consider the intention of the beliefs rather than the precision.

Barrett:

  • All of the data points should be considered, even or especially the ones that do not quite fit.
  • If the conclusions are significantly derivative, there's probably a flaw in the hypothesis.
  • If the methodology leads to alternative conclusions, perhaps the premise itself is flawed.

Matteo:

  • I have the perfect text for you... it clears it all up. I'll leave it in your room when I have a moment.
  • You are asking for a mathematical formula that creates hope, dreams, and love.
  • I understand why you say that, but I think it is my own fault for not explaining better.

Barrett:

  • All right, Matteo. We'll have to pick this up another time.
  • Matteo, I love you my friend, but we'll have to continue this another time.
  • You're a kind person, Matteo.
    Maybe next time we should talk about sports instead, though.

Noel and Barrett[edit]

To edit this section: The Lodge/Convo24 BarrettNoel

Barrett:

Noel, whenever you're bored I've got a seat in the ship with your name on it.

Noel:

I don't know... I have a lot of work to do.

Barrett:

What are you working on, if you don't mind me asking?

Noel:

Analyzing some of Sarah's recent data from the field. We're going to collaborate on a study.

Barrett:

She doesn't know you're working this hard, does she?

Noel:

I've always worked hard. That was the only way that I could get here.
My work is all I have... no wealth, no connections, and my timing is all wrong.

Barrett:

You've earned the right to be here, Noel.

Noel:

Maybe I'll take you up on that seat sometime... after I get some more work done.

Sam and Barrett[edit]

To edit this section: Barrett/Convo SamCoe01

Barrett:

Sam. This is pretty serious, isn't it?

Sam:

There's just no hope. I mean what can we do?

Barrett:

I don't know how it got this bad. I really don't.

Sam:

They shouldn't have traded players. It was a bad move.

Barrett:

We traded our top player for two mediocre ones? Who makes that kind of deal?

Sam:

Ugh. I can't talk about it, I'm getting all worked up.

Barrett:

We'll get through it together, buddy.
To edit this section: Barrett/Convo SamCoe02

Barrett:

Sam, buddy. Cora borrowed some of my things without asking... you wanted me to tell you if it happened again.

Sam:

Oh good grief. What did she borrow?

Barrett:

  • A stack of my old physics books. Honestly, I'd rather she read some newer ones from Noel.
  • Some highly pressurized hydrogen locked in reverberating containment tube. Noel is going to need that soon for one of her experiments.
  • A sample of a unique mineral that displays some life-like qualities. Been in a box for years. Not a big deal.

Sam:

*sighs* I'll talk to Cora. She knows she has to ask.

Barrett:

She's a smart kid, Sam. A really smart kid.
You're in trouble, you know.

Sam:

Trust me, it's all I ever think about.
To edit this section: Sam Coe/Convo Barrett01

Sam:

All right, Barrett. You ready to play.

Barrett:

"I was born ready."

Sam:

I set you up there. That was an "oldie but a goodie."

Barrett:

*chuckle*"A rolling stone gathers no moss."

Sam:

Wait. That's a saying? No way.

Barrett:

From Old Earth. Got the slate to prove it.

Sam:

"I may be drunk, sir, but in the morning you'll still be ugly."

Barrett:

*laugh*Where's that from?

Sam:

Some guy named Churchill. Later, friend.

Sam:

No, no, no. No spoilers. Jesus, I've stopped watching SSNN because I don't want to know who won.

Barrett:

You might want to avoid looking at the New Atlantis billboards, then.

We need to watch that game soon. Before I go crazy.

Sam:

Barrett:

  • I know. Pretty nice to take a load off for a bit, huh?

Sam:

  • You won't hear me complain.
To edit this section: The Lodge/Convo17 BarrettSam

Sam:

  • Barrett... Don't you still owe me 100 credits?

Barrett:

  • What? No, I paid you back two weeks ago!
  • Are you kidding me? Matteo said he'd cover me!
  • No, no, you've got it all wrong! Don't you remember - you told me it was your treat, that I didn't have to pay you back!

Sam:

  • What? That's what you said last week! Come on!
  • That is not at all how I remember it.
  • Come on, seriously! You've gotta pay me eventually.

Barrett:

  • Okay, okay... Remind me again next week, will you? I'll get you back.
  • All right, you got me. I'll scrape something together for you... Next week, maybe?

Sarah and Barrett[edit]

To edit this section: Barrett/Convo SarahMorgan01

Barrett:

It's too quiet around here, Sarah.

Sarah:

It's times like this when I miss Aja the most. She always knew what to say.

Barrett:

After Ervin died, she found me in my room and sat with me until I fell asleep.

Sarah:

I imagine she said something wise and comforting... do you recall?

Barrett:

I don't, actually. I just remember her being there. I know she said something... but for the life of me I can't recall what it was.

Sarah:

Sometimes it's not the words that matter, I suppose.
To edit this section: Barrett/Convo SarahMorgan02

Barrett:

Sarah! Question for you.

Sarah:

An academic question or... some random bizarre Barrett question?

Barrett:

So, hypothetically speaking... let's say I forgot to check on an experiment for a while...

Sarah:

Good grief. Which experiment, Barrett?

Barrett:

It doesn't matter which one. Probably. I mean this is just hypothetical.

Sarah:

Barrett.

Barrett:

I just need to know if you have any extra superconductors... maybe some liquid helium...

Sarah:

Are you asking if I hypothetically have superconductors and liquid helium?

Barrett:

Uh... yep. That's what I'm asking.

Sarah:

Noel moved them to a new storage unit when we organized the materials in the lab.

Barrett:

Well, that's a relief! Hypothetically!

Sarah:

Hypothetically.
To edit this section: Sarah Morgan/Convo Barrett01

Sarah:

So, how are you feeling, Barrett?

Barrett:

Same as I was a few moments before you asked. Why are you looking me like that?

Sarah:

I'm worried about you. That time you spent as a prisoner with those pirates, it couldn't have been easy.

Barrett:

Honestly, it wasn't as bad as you're picturing. Don't get me wrong, they weren't exactly having me over for dinner, but I wasn't being tortured, either.

Sarah:

Okay, I'll trust that you're telling me the truth. But, if you ever need to talk, I'm always available.

Barrett:

I appreciate that. And who knows, maybe I'll take you up on that one day.
To edit this section: Sarah Morgan/Convo Barrett02

Sarah:

A moment, Barrett? We never finished our conversation about your little soiree on the Eye.

Barrett:

Here we go. Look, I already said I was sorry. What else is there to discuss?

Sarah:

Well, there's the small matter of a bill I recently received. Five thousand credits for "assorted petit fours?" You want to tell me the real story there, Barrett? You and Vladimir don't exactly strike me as the "petit fours" type. More like beer and pretzels, if you ask me...

Barrett:

Listen, Sarah. We were hosting a party and I don't know what to say. You have to impress, right?

Sarah:

The Eye isn't your personal vacation home. It's a delicate instrument. If you don't want me to revoke your docking rights...

Barrett:

Uh, uh, uh. No need to say another word, skipper. I read you loud and clear. Oh, and, uh... I'll settle that bill for the umm, "petit fours." Don't even worry about that.

Sarah:

  • Spending some extra time in the Lodge, are we?

Barrett:

  • Yes, ma'am. Noel's not the only one with a scientific background, you know.
  • You may recall that very recently, while on mission I have been both rendered unconscious and kidnapped. I thought being here might be a nice change of pace.
  • There is only so much universe to explore, boss. I've got to pace myself.

Sarah:

  • Fair enough. Carry on.
  • Well, I do insist that we sit down and catch up properly sometime soon.
  • Let's just keep the hijniks [sic] to a minimum, shall we?
To edit this section: The Lodge/Convo19 SarahBarrett

Barrett:

  • Hey, Sarah. You holding up okay? Can't be easy being in charge of all this.

Sarah:

  • I didn't exactly need a reminder, but I'm doing fine.
  • Barrett, expressing actual, honest concern? I am shocked!
  • You needn't fear, Barrett. Possibly the biggest mystery in history rests on our - my - shoulders, but I'm sure it will be fine.

Sarah:

  • Unless, of course, you're suggesting you'd like to take over?
  • I don't suppose you're after the job, are you?
  • Why, would you care to take the reins for a while?

Barrett:

  • We both know I am the last person that should have that kind of responsibility.
  • Oh, no thank you! I am quite content with my lot.
  • Not a chance! I'm glad I dodged that bullet!

Barrett:

  • But hey, you know where to find me if you ever need anything, okay?
  • I am glad to know you're all right, though.

Barrett:

  • Hey, Walter! Did you follow up on that investment tip?
  • Well, Mr. Stroud? Did you investigate that company I mentioned?
  • So, Walter. That tip I gave you. Panned out, didn't it?

Walter:

  • It appears you may have provided information that Stroud-Eklund could profit from in the future, yes.
  • You know very well I don't publicly disclose my investment strategies. But.... yes, it looks very promising.
  • It's possible that I may have found your information useful.

Barrett:

  • Told you!
  • Ha! I knew it. You didn't believe me, but I was right.
  • Ha ha! No need to thank me, Walter. Just slip a few credits under my pillow when you can.

Walter:

  • All right, where exactly do you get your sources? I have to know!
  • You can gloat all you want, so long as you tell me how you came by that information in the first place.
  • Barrett, seriously, how do you find these things out?

Barrett:

  • Oh, I know a guy. And he knows a girl, and she went to a conference in Neon. We all had a few drinks, traded some stories, and here we are.
  • Bumped into a fellow in Paradiso. He was there on vacation, I was running a lead. We got to talking. Turns out he's got connections. I guess I do, too.
  • Why, Walter! I'm offended. What kind of man do you take me for? You have your methods, I have mine.

Barrett:

  • Yes. Classic.

Vasco:

  • Number two: Your wisecrack about the Ashta and the miner to the patrons of the Stoneroot Inn.

Barrett:

  • I was on a roll!

Vasco:

  • Number one: Your counter to the demands of the Ecliptic captain in orbit around Tau Ceti V.

Barrett:

Hmm. That was a good one, but I'm not sure it's the top.

Vasco:

That is the list you provided to me, in the exact order you dictated. Shall I update the listing?

Barrett:

  • Recently... in the past month maybe.

Vasco:

  • There are fifty-eight items on the reminder list, starting from the top...

Barrett:

  • Wait! Uh. Just the most recent thing then.

Vasco:

  • The most recent request was to remind you that you should cut back on spicy food.
You said this while you were eating an entire tray of Spicy Chunks.
So I was instructed to remind you before the next time.

Barrett:

  • Mm... yeah. I mean no, not that one.
What did I say before that one?

Vasco:

  • You said remember to check on the experiment. The one that might explode.

Barrett:

Oh yeah, no. That exploded already. What about the one before that?

Vasco:

You showed me a picture of a planet with multiple trajectories associated with orbiting bodies.
You said this planet might hold the key to understanding the nature of---

Vasco:

  • Understood. I will prepare my system to begin the diagnostics.
This will run as a background process, honey bundles of joy.

Good grief. Who did this to you, Vasco?

Here... just settle the tab then.
Don't tell me the amount. I don't want to know.

Jack:

I'm adding a tip.

Barrett:

Before you close it out... add one last shot of that schnapps, will ya?

Jack:

No can do. Never reordered it. Had to scrub for weeks to get out the stink of squirrel farts.

ECS Constant[edit]

Barrett:

Captain Brackenridge, I cannot imagine the hardships of carrying a vision through to the end that was bequeathed to you by choices made before you were ever even born.

Captain Diana Brackenridge:

It's what I was raised to do.

Barrett:

Not many people would be able to live with the constraints of such an assignment. It's remarkable.

Captain:

We all knew what we had to do to get here.

Barrett:

You know more than anyone that leadership isn't just about steering the ship.

Captain:

Of course. It's about redirecting fear and anger so that peace is possible.

Barrett:

Or... so that a goal is possible. You decided to pursue peace on your own.

Captain:

I choose to believe that most of us share that goal.
But I will never expect it to be the default case.

Neon[edit]

Barrett:

Saburo! How's business these days?

Saburo Okadigbo:

  • [Q:455 & Q:460 & …?] It could be better my friend, but I'm not complaining. I've worked hard to keep these doors open.
  • [¬Q:455?] I'm not going to lie to you, my friend. It does not look good.
    Making ends meet gets harder and harder... I need to consider something more drastic, I think.
  • [Q:455 & ¬Q:460?] I'm hoping it will improve very soon... your friend here has offered some assistance in the marketing department.

Barrett:

  • [Q:455 & Q:460 & …?] I know you have.
  • [¬Q:455?] It might be riskier not to try something different, right?
  • [Q:455 & ¬Q:460?] Sometimes you just need people to know that you're here, right? I hope it works out.

Barrett:

You have to be a wise businessman to have stayed afloat here in Neon this long.

Saburo:

Oh goodness. That was a bad joke, my friend. But I thank you for the sentiment nonetheless.

Barrett:

Of course. And if I run into anybody looking for mining supplies, you'll be where I send them.

Saburo:

That is what I like to hear, my friend. You're always welcome in my shop.

Kolman Lang:

Barrett?! Oh no, no, no.
Nope. No way. Not again.

Barrett:

Whoa? Come on, Kolman. Don't be like that, buddy.

Kolman:

The hell you don't!

Barrett:

We had a perfectly normal transaction!

Kolman:

Normal!? There were friggin' mercs coming after me!

Barrett:

You said you were willing to handle anything and you got your money.

Kolman:

I meant paperwork not pirates! What the hell!

Barrett:

Well you might want to clarify that in your sales pitch then. That's on you, my friend.

Kolman:

No, no, no. Take that grinning "my friend" crap right out of here.

Kolman:

Can you believe this guy?!
Geez Louise!

New Homestead[edit]

Maurice Lyon:

Well look what the cat dragged in... Barrett.

Barrett:

Maurice! Do you ever take a day off?

Maurice:

Hah! And miss all this? Not a chance.
Did you bring me another ancient trinket with anomalous gravitational signatures?

Barrett:

You know, that trinket was critical to my research... it changed everything.

Maurice:

So what you're saying is... I should have charged you more.

Barrett:

Maurice, there is no price tag that I would place on your expertise.

Maurice:

Pssht. Listen to this guy.

Barrett:

That's what I keep telling people to do, too.

Paradiso[edit]

Barrett:

Oliver Campbell.
I bet you think you're pretty brilliant, don't you.

Oliver Campbell:

Excuse me. Aren't you a little old to be a delivery boy?

Barrett:

Did you train to be a human slob or was it natural?

Oliver:

Ooo. Do you feel better now?
Did that make you feel like a big, strong man?

Barrett:

Is that how your brain works?
No, Oliver.
You're just another useless leech on humanity. Why would I waste my time feeling anything about you?

Oliver:

It's just business, pal.
Grow up.

Barrett:

Aja... it's so good to see you again.

Aja Mamasa:

Barrett. I am so glad to see you. What brings you all the way out to Paradiso?

Barrett:

Aja, there's a terrible crisis and we need you back immediately. You're being drafted. You can't say no.

Aja:

What?!

Barrett:

*coughs* ... I'm kidding, Aja.
I'm sorry, I had to.

Aja:

Barrett!.
You're exactly the same as you were when I brought you on. Unbelievable!
I hate you so much!
I love you, I'm joking. You had me going, though. Dear lord.

Barrett:

You did well, Aja. Constellation is good. Relax, you deserve it.

Aja:

When you retire, give me a visit. We'll catch up and I'll get you back good.

Red Mile[edit]

Sati Chandra:

Barrett. I was told you had arrived. Welcome to Red Mile.

Barrett:

Sorry, I don't think we've met?

Sati:

But I've got your registration information right here.

Barrett:

I'm sorry, I don't think I signed up for this.
Maybe there's another Barrett out there.

Sati:

Is your first name ---

Barrett:

Sorry, it must be somebody else.

Notes[edit]

  • Barrett is voiced by Barry Wiggins.
  • Barrett mentions that Sarah Morgan convinced him to join Constellation but precedes her own membership by 15 years.
  • He likes to buy chocolate at Jemison Mercantile, although Vasco has repeatedly informed him that it is a significant factor to his overweight.

Bugs[edit]

  • The patches on Barrett's uniform are incorrect, showing Aneutronic Fusion instead of Starship Engineer. Vasco is the companion with Aneutronic Fusion as a major skill.
  • Bad test [Q+455?] & [Q+460?] & […?] During the time test the line will not be spoken and no other lines will match either. Two bugs!
