George Baton is a member of Bridges and currently the head of distribution of the Waystation West of Capital Knot City.
History[]
George Baton was one of the members that Amelie choose for the first westward expedition and, just like the others, he was a fervent supporter of the reconstructionism promoted by Bridges. During the expedition he was assigned the role of head of distribution of the Waystation west of Capital Knot City. At first he was not only thrilled with the task, enough to leave signs for private porters outside the facility, but he was also a reliable porter himself, shuttling between his Waystation and the Distribution Center West of Capital Knot. However, the three years of isolation and loneliness changed his tune, causing him to take more and more oxytocin, and the presence in the area of MULEs and BTs made it much less reliable, resulting in him dropping half his cargo on several occasions.
When, three years after the first expedition, Amelie is captured in Edge Knot City and Central Knot City is destroyed in a terrorist attack, the morale and faith of George and the others in the waystation fade.
At some point, during his westward expedition, Sam delivers smart drugs to him and connects the waystation to the Chiral Network. The meeting with the "The Great Deliverer" entices George not only to go outside more often, slowly resuming delivering in the area, but also to conquer his fear of MULES and BTs and to regain faith in the dream of Bridges.
