Usefulness: not that much access to his lab, which is astonishingly bland
and uninteresting, but thanks to a pretty unusual background this student
has a number a contacts abroad, and can provide high-quality low-profile
safe-houses in countries like Mozambique or Madagascar (if you're in for
that kind of trip.) You may have to build health centers for a while, but
that's no big deal when the Star is on your tail, neh? He also has a knack
for finding unfathomable experimental jazz concerts, which may be good
meeting places - the music produced is guarranteed to jam any listening device.
