Travis Novak

PBTD 07/4

When Korbin's Killers and the U.S. Government agree to a joint effort to overcome the Demonic Plague inspired by T'Chezz and Moloch, they also agree to have the Gov.'s help in the manufacturing of Joshua's special weapons, especially the bullets, swords and knives. Two men from private industry, under Gov. contract, agree to come to Korbin's base, and work with Joshua on that manufacturing effort. One of these was Travis Novak, from the advanced metallurgical arena. The other was Charles Butler, from a major ammunition manufacturer. Both men agreed that all of the info they worked with was absolutely top secret, and could not be leaked back to their companies, on literal pain of death.They both agreed. They both lived on base, brought in additional machinery, additional information, and it seemed to be working out well.

However, Travis was a spy for his company, discovered because Stephanie Lee was reviewing the Base's security program one afternoon, and discovered that he had sent out an email to his boss. They notified Katie, Korbin, and General Brushwood. Brushwood came to the Base, discovered it was all true, and "killed" Novak, on audio so that his boss could hear it, and know that this had been the agreement, and it was being kept.

Of course Novak wasn't dead, only seemingly so, but he agreed to stay on the base - he had indeed dishonored his word. The alternative was mind-wiping and disgrace. Novak apologizes to Joshua, and seemingly will be working well with him in the production program.
