Gilliam
is the Outlaw Star's onboard computer. It is less than impressed with
Gene's piloting skills (and notes that it fears for its future prospects),
which sometimes annoys Gene. The ship has some weird things a little
bigger than a can of soda that have faces and go around on tracks
to 'talk' to crew members, give advice, etc. I get the feeling that
Jim gets along with them rather well, what with his...er...love of
machines.- Anyway, Gilliam's kind of the most cynical of the group,
which is a little weird (as I, at least, generally imagine computers
(correction--computers of the future) as compliant and faithful...).
