would it be better to make prospitan PI a sniper, to explain how who he's got those great sniper rifle skills around the end of problem sleuth
or to make him a scientist, to explain why he's got a surprising amount of abilities related to robots and lasers and particle accelerators
the latter would make him a lot easier to name, and i think would possibly fit him slightly better
but the former offers more interesting characterization? like it could maybe help account for why he was more closed off at the beginning of problem sleuth and why he tends to be more anxious and why he got upset with sleuth shot some thugs in front of him, etc
i am maybe considering the idea that he started out as a scientist and as of agentquest still is one but is later drafted as a marksman when prospit starts to get desperate during the war, but i'm not sure how likely that would really be in a society where everyone is cloned and programmed at birth to fit a certain role? idk, maybe they're really desperate, i mean it's hard to compete with a bunch of huge fucking meteors
going back to the former i'm having a little trouble deciding why a scientist would be tagging along with an ambassador, though. a sniper tagging along is more or less just another bodyguard, only this one can hit from further way
