VIPs
"Dude" Chief inspector
Dude is also one of the original founders of T&T. He sends an email about once a week to get the company to change its name to T&T&D, but we're hoping the "hush treats" keep him quiet.
"Bullseye" Head of security
Bull started his career on the streets of Clarksville before T&T gave him a chance. His job is to keep our hangar safe. However, he's due for a performance review because he sleeps on the job too much.
