George Krietman

"Man, am I ever glad to see you. I thought I was all alone. It's been freakin' spooky lately."

- George Krietman to the Marine

George Krietman (Identification Number: 6903-50) is a minor character in Doom 3. A research assistant assigned to Sector 1 of the Alpha Labs, he survived the initial wave of the invasion by attempting to stabilize the Hydrocons in a very tight, well-hidden corner. Despite this, he was oblivious to what was going on around him.

History
When the player meets Krietman, he is startled by the player's sudden appearance, but is grateful not to be alone, as he notices it's been eerily quiet around him. Explaining that the Hydrocon is unstable, he warns the player that shooting through its glass shields can blow up the whole area. He further states that he will continuing stabilizing the Hydrocon before heading to the science office. If the player persists in speaking to him, he will reaffirm that he has to stabilize the Hydrocon and get it working safely.

Fate
While his fate is unknown, it's most likely that he was killed by demons if he managed to stabilize the Hydrocon and move to the science office - away from his spot where he had survived thus far. That said, as the player moves through the area, their appears to be no indication of the Hydrocon's stabilization, possibly meaning that George was unable to stabilize it, (supported by the fact that he was only a research assistant) and thus never moved from his spot.

Lost PDA (11-13-2145)

''I seem to have misplaced my PDA with my security clearance. I was adjusting the oxygen intake on the Hydrocon the other day and recall using it at that time but I can't seem to remember where the heck I put that thing. If you see it around while on your shift could you put it someplace safe for me?'' Thank you,

Dr. Harvey
