Carter Eastbourne
====TVC 01/2==== Adventurer. Left Earth with BA. Always wanted to travel, do unusual, strange tings. Wife Elisa with the twins, Alanna and Samuel. Wanted to invest in Pepsi- the forbidden drink. Where there is risk there is money.
Living in established settlements full of humans might be more comfortable in some ways, but it didn’t scratch “that itch.” Carter’s wife, Elisa, used that term with weary affection. It was a big part of what had led him to leave Earth with Bethany Anne’s group. It wasn’t just that he’d spent years being frustrated by the total inability of governments on Earth to, well…govern. He’d known since he was a little boy that there had to be more than just life on Earth. There was more to explore. There were places to go and things to figure out. In a way, he wanted to be traveling on ratty old ships and eating awful food. Those would make good stories for later, when he was growing old in a house he’d built with his own two hands and he had his family all around him. And in the meantime? Well, he’d be seeing things no human had ever seen before and carving out his place in the universe. When they’d been told about High Tortuga, he’d been one of the first to volunteer. He’d left Elisa with the twins, Alanna and Samuel, and come here to find them a new home.
His plan? Carter liked Pepsi - contrary to Bethany Anne's policies, He knew for sure that if he were to set up a bottling plant on High Tortuga there would be plenty of business. There were others living in the shadows of the Meredith Reynolds who thought like he did. He’d even heard that Nathan Lowell was one of them. Carter knew the old saying: where there’s risk, there’s money. For him, the risk just made it more fun. (TVC 02/1 Teased unmercifully about this by Barnabas. Now serves coke in Bar). He liked this place; liked it instinctively. It was a bit rough around the edges, but in a homey way—like people who came here could put together their own stand to sell their wares, or build their own house, or start their own business. Saw a bar, and went to explore. Came in, saw monkey sitting there, chittering at him. Had some fruit juice.
