Peter Goodwin

Role Member of Goodwin Investments Status alive

Overview

A “business” man that runs an investment firm located out of Aethel.

As of Session 8: taken. Knocked unconscious in his own office by Six, bound in strips of chair upholstery, carried down seventeen floors and into the Aethel City Sewers, en route to Storage B-342. His last words before the lights went out were a bribe: whatever “Daniel” paid the crew, he would double it, and he would get “her” the stuff back.

As of Session 9: delivered. Carried unconscious and gas-paralysed through the Aethel City Sewers on Six’s back, dumped face-down on a stack of boxes at Storage B-342, then loaded into a crate on a hover cart and wheeled away by Leonard Romeijn. Whereabouts: with Romeijn.

Appearances

• Session 2 (Session 02 - The MacMillian Anomaly) — Visiting from Goodwin Investments (Aethel, Eris System), he was entertained at The Silk Abbey and observed gambling under heavy security at the Nova Nexus. The station manager broke off the crew’s post-incident debrief to attend to him, prioritizing his comfort over the Processing II security breach, and the crew’s sudden reassignment to Thides III the next morning looked to them like a maneuver to get them off-station during his visit.
• Session 4 (Session 04 - The Case of the Missing Courtesan) — Named but not met, and by session’s end the crew’s prime suspect by commission. He was the dignitary Wilton Agramunt threw the Room 2002 party for, the night Brianna Melvin disappeared. Security footage shows him leaving the suite with Agramunt and Solveig Kaufer, the two men heading toward The Silk Abbey. Three Goodwin Investments business cards on the dresser identify the untouched right bedroom as his — which is what gives meaning to the scrubbed left one — and Róbert’s Engraved Watch was found beside them, a gift from The Bamboo Union’s treasurer Róbert Jeanes. Samina Ventura offered the crew a doubled fee for proof of his involvement in Brianna’s disappearance, intending to use it for blackmail or legal leverage. See The Room 2002 Cover-Up.
• Session 7 (Session 07 - The Goodwin Contract) — Named, not met — and now the target of a kidnapping contract. Julija Borja’s evidence points to Goodwin Investments as the connection behind Kinetic Logistics grazer pistols appearing on the black market around Eris III, and Roselyn Monroe’s unnamed contact wants him delivered to Storage B-342 (The Goodwin Contract). What the crew learned of him: he runs his operation from the 17th floor of the Firetemic Tower, lives in a gated community under heavy private security, and is loathed by the tower’s own Firetemic engineers for repeatedly locking down the building’s large service elevator — most recently the day of the crew’s stakeout. By session’s end Six is invisible in his building’s basement garage.
• Session 8 (Session 08 - A Crappy Plan Comes Together) — Met, and taken. Arrived at the Firetemic Tower by limousine, read on the lips by Shackleton Magellan saying a shipment had already gone out and could not be stopped. Found by Six panicking in his locked-down office, unable to raise anyone on his communicator. Tried to buy his way out (“Whatever Daniel paid you, I’ll double it. Whatever she paid you, I told her I’ll get her the stuff back.”). Knocked out, bound, and carried into the sewers. The Firetemic Tower Raid.
• Session 9 (Session 09 - Snakes on a Catwalk) — Delivered. Unconscious and paralysed by gas throughout, dragged behind and then carried by Six through the Aethel City Sewers and the crew’s tunnel into the Aethel Starport Sub-Level. Dumped on a stack of boxes at Storage B-342, identified by Leonard Romeijn, loaded into a crate on a hover cart and taken away.
