Joshua Richardson
Maintenance worker on The Solar Railway — Bay 4 message to Orwell about failing cranes and AI loading.
Rank: Maintenance Worker
Alignment: Friendly
Fate: Unknown (presumed dead)
First appearance: The Solar Railway
They also filled us up with radioactive waste! And you're rambling about some damn sarcophagus and demonic voices?— Joshua Richardson, last text message (The Solar Railway)
Joshua is a minor character — a maintenance worker on a Solar Railway wagon. The player finds only his PDA in Cargo Bay 4 on The Solar Railway.
No clear blood trail; Bay 4 is heavy with Imps and Possessed Workers, so he may have been attacked, transformed, or crushed by the interior crane. His message to Orwell blames AI loading overrides for failing Crane 41, radioactive waste, and asks whether Lorenz is okay.

RE: Status Report in Cargo Bay 4Listen, Orwell, are you high? Stop bugging me about your cargo in Bay Eight! We've got enough shit to deal with, okay? Crane 41 was already failing before Lu Hsun, even if unloaded. Now it's hauling a maxicargo and a heavy transformer, man! The crane cable won't hold that shit. That transformer is going to fall on someone's head! But I'm telling you it won't be mine. The 413 lower motor is busted, thanks to that cheap Indian junk they installed at the service. This isn't human error, friend! They also filled us up with radioactive waste! And you're rambling about some damn sarcophagus and demonic voices? This happens if the AI overrides all loading safety protocols, bro! Fuck this new world! I heard Lorenz got hurt. Is he okay?
