Outcast Researcher?

[Ayem]

Ayem ibn Sina is a polymath with interest in research, and was scarred by his dependence on Cardamine when he went through pseudo-withdrawal. His experience only strengthened his conviction that Cardamine was the right path for the Outcasts though. He is also politically pro-Spirit/nomad, so any research involving the bodies of the nomads (which would, incidentally, give the best results in any research on Cardamine because it was made for them) would result in him mobilizing the ibn Sina family to have you executed.

He would not, however, go at you guns blazing for researching Cardamine and would probably collude with you within limitations. For example, improving or heightening the effects of Cardamine would be one possible aim. For these purposes he would direct some funds from the ibn Sina vaults to the researcher in question.

As one of the posters mentioned, the dromedary would help you fit in, but personally I used the Rheinland Pirate Cruiser as Ayem's research vessel. That was a more exploratory vessel though, as it breached the quarantine of the Nomad worlds and Wilde territory. It has a wonderful antennae array that I just fell in love with.
