Rocky Companion

Rocky, the Eridian engineer from Project Hail Mary, as a crew companion. He's an original model with procedural legs and synthesised chord "speech".

• $400 ship upgrade. Type rocky in the terminal, then confirm. Bought once, saved with the ship, gone if you're fired.
• He sleeps in the ship in orbit and wakes when you land.
• Press E on him to fist-bump: he follows you, inside and out, through entrances and teleports. Press E again and he stays.
• He hears monsters through walls and warns you with chords: high and soft when they're far, low and rough when they're close, and a sharp alarm for the deadly ones. Crew with a walkie-talkie on hear it too.
• He's company. Within 10 m of him your insanity falls instead of rising when you're alone.
• He shouts down the monsters you can't kill. Coil-heads, Jesters, blobs, Forest Keepers (it frees a grabbed player), Old Birds and Barbers get a stunning shout when they come for someone near him. Ghost Girl is sent back to haunting. Every 25 s at most.
• Monsters, turrets and mines ignore him, and he can't die. When the ship takes off he always comes home.

Everyone in the lobby needs the mod. The host's settings are used for everyone.
