Hi, Rodge here:
I got a such a kick out of your comment:
>And what the hell is Humphrey Bogart doing dressed up as a Star
>Viking (p. 244)?
(It made me go into giggle fits for some reason) so I just had to
look it up. Somehow, Traveller just doesn't evoke images of
Bogart, as I tried to visualize good ole' Humphry in his stock
and trade overcoat and broad-rimmed hat, sporting a Machiavelli
ZZT laser cannon like it was a tommy gun and wearing a pair of
light intensification goggles, saying "Pal, this is the end of a
terrible relationship." *ZZZZZZZZZT*
I don't think he looks all that much like Bogart, but thanks for
the laugh, I needed that.
In answer to your question, I'd say he's looking up into the sky
at another ship that has just taken off, and that the reason for
his grim expression is that it's his ship, and it's left him
behind!
Though I think he looks more like Marlon Brando (especially when
you cover up his RCES head sheath with your left hand).
