Biography[]
Rick Buttramwas the captain of the RSS Tesla ship.
The crew of the salvage ship RSS Tesla discovers the pod in outer space and brings it onboard more than fifty years later, in 2045. The ship's crew consists of the dubious and lewd Captain Rick Buttram, his quirky engineer Al "Albert" Bert, Fran the pilot, and Bernie the cargo specialist. and Ethan, a student engineer. Following their discovery, Councilor Tetra of TerraCor contacts the ship and offers Buttram three times the going cost if he transports the pod to a nearby station. The crew agrees and decides to visit the station. However, when they arrive, they discover it to be deserted, with "Angela," the facility's malfunctioning central computer, as the sole indication of life. "Angela" only follows commands when given orders that are exactly the opposite of what she is supposed to do.
Later, when Ethan comes into Rick tinkering with the pod, Rick declares that he intends to steal whatever is inside for himself and abandon the others.

Ethan protests, but Rick uses a fire extinguisher to put him out of his misery before he can open the pod. Before Rick is attacked and killed by the freshly born Krites, he runs into Charlie in it, who bolts out. Zoran gave him the Golden Chainsaw because we've never seen a critter choke a bitch.
