Changes: George Krietman

Revision as of 22:02, 1 August 2019

"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 ^[src]

George Krietman (Identification Number: 6903-50) was a research assistant assigned to Sector 1 of the Alpha Labs on Mars. He was one of the few UAC personnel to survive the initial demon invasion, although he is somehow oblivious to it. He had a standard PDA.

History

When the player meets George Krietman in Doom 3, he is startled by the player's sudden appearance, but is grateful to not be alone. He states that the Hydrocon is unstable, and warns the player not to shoot the Hydrocon's glass shields or the whole area could blow. He further states that he'll head to the science office once he's stabilized the Hydrocon. 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 is 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)

George

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

Trivia

It is possible to shoot George and pick up his PDA to read an e-mail about a co-worker who's lost their PDA.
In game, when the reticle is placed over him, his name will be shown as 'G. Kreitman'.

He was one of the few [[Union Aerospace Corporation|UAC]] personnel to survive the initial demon invasion, although he is somehow oblivious to it. He had a standard [[PDA]].
+==History==
-He survives the initial demon invasion because the area he was attending to was incredibly difficult to find, even for residents of the base. He decides not to leave the spot, not just because it was safe, but because it monitors and controls the [[Hydrocon]] holders, which became unstable in the assault. Just one bullet hitting the Hydrocon holders would cause a massive explosion.
+When the player meets George Krietman in ''[[Doom 3]]'', he is startled by the player's sudden appearance, but is grateful to not be alone. He states that the [[Hydrocon]] is unstable, and warns the player not to shoot the Hydrocon's glass shields or the whole area could blow. He further states that he'll head to the science office once he's stabilized the Hydrocon. If the player persists in speaking to him, he will reaffirm that he has to stabilize the Hydrocon and get it working safely.
-He is found by [[Doomguy]] eventually. He tells Doomguy that he must stay to get the Hydrocon's levels under control, but promises to meet him once he finishes the job. Unfortunately, it is unknown whether Krietman got the Hydrocon under control because it was still unstable as Doomguy was moving through the area, and since Krietman never came back to Doomguy, it can be assumed demons either found him or he died while attempting to reach the Doomguy. He is somehow oblivious to the demon invasion, as he states that he will head to the science offices once he tries to stabilize the Hydrocon. However, it is also possible that he changed his mind to stay in his area where it was safer.
-It is possible to kill Krietman and take his [[PDA]].
