It's a great case of humour in the game, and certainly not the last, as you meet a shiftless factory manager who is more interested in his comfortable position and his cat than his job or his employees Billy Anchor, the insurance salesman ready to sell a policy for anything and the Security Services officers, who seem overly happy about the state of the city.At the same time, Beneath a Steel Sky is perfectly capable of being serious when it needs to be. Reassembling Joey in a discarded robot shell, Foster looks for a way out of the factory, but runs once again into Reich.However, when Reich attempts to capture Foster, he is held back and killed by a mysterious benefactor.Īs Joey is activated, he becomes embarrassed at the robotic shell that Foster has implanted his 'personality' board into, insulting Foster, making sly sexual innuendoes when Foster wants him to restart a robot by probing it and generally being a sarcastic and snarky character. With the Security Services agents on the chase, Foster runs into a factory, managing to escape his captors, in particular, Officer Stephen Reich, who managed to survive the helicopter crash. With only the rescued circuit board retrieved from the destroyed body of his robot, Joey, Foster is brought to Union City.But then, just over the skies of Union City, the helicopter which is bringing in Foster starts to malfunction, crashing into the tower blocks at the top of the city. ![]() One day, agents of the Union City Security Services go on the search for Robert Foster, finding his tribe, annihilating them and abducting Foster. There remains the suspicious circumstances that his mother died by, and the mysterious issue of his father, whose status is unknown. ![]() Robert even learns engineering and technology, and manages to build a talking, sentient robot named Joey.However, Foster's life in the Gap cannot last forever.
