Dr. Calnor is a potentially hostile NPC Captain Steele will encounter in Syriquest: The Genetic Opera.

Appearance

Calnor is a tall, strong ausar male with a long, well-kept beard and a mohawk of white hair, both of which accentuate stern, determined features. Though the doctor has a labcoat and company jumpsuit on, the old hound’s swinging an electrified shock staff with alarming proficiency.

History/Personality/Information of Note

Dr. Calnor is the no-nonsense head of the Akkadi Research Base on Uveto. When the warp gate experiment went wrong, killing Valden, fusing some of his DNA and organs with Syri, and recording his memories, personality, and consciousness in the Holo-banks, Dr. Calnor was given both Valden's body and the digitized copy of his mind to understand how he died and increase warp gate safety. Calnor has kept Valden trapped in a body-less supercomputer for several years now despite the latter's pleas to be free, never even telling the cyber ghost that Syri is alive.

Interactions

Captain Steele will encounter Calnor in the Starship Labs trying to find a bomb to break down the door to the Warp Field Lab. Calnor will introduce himself before being interrupted by Valden on the PA. asking you to kill him. The player can either Talk to him or Fight him. If you "Team Up" with Calnor, Valden will retaliate by sending a team of Security Robots. Losing to them will result in a Bad End. If you fight Calnor and win, Calnor will use a Flashbang and escape. If he wins he will kill you, resulting in a Bad End.
