The Geologist is a Bridges researcher living in the mountains south of Heartman's Lab and Mountain Knot City.
Story[]
Background[]
The Geologist was born after the Death Stranding, specializing in the study of the geology during his study.
Bridges I[]
He is then hired by Bridges and chosen as a special member of a group of researchers, lead by Heartman, of the first expedition, led by Amelie, to connect communities to the newly Chiral Network, and study the Beach and Death Stranding. Like all the other members, however, the Geologist has never met Amelie in person, as she is part of the advanced team. Just before the expedition, he I found some documents in Bridges HQ, research papers that predated the Stranding where a fellow investigated various locations where late Cretaceous dino fossils had been found, ancd came to the conclusion that dinosaurs had been wiped out long before the end of the Cretaceous, contrary to the normal believe. Since the only place where there were fossils that did support the traditional theory was in North America, this suggested that this was the last part of the Earth to have been inhabited by dinosaurs, suggesting something special about the place that allowed them to survive.
Once installed in the area north of Mountain Knot City, the team of scientists began to reveal an anomaly in the tar belt around Edge Knot City, tar that surfaced to the surface, devouring Heartman's other colleagues and a secondary station, essential for expand the Chiral Network to the west thus remaining disconnected.
Sam's Westward Expedition[]
During his expedition, Sam was ordered to delivers some Chiralium contamination medicine, since a chiral contamination in the zone causing him dizziness, headaches, insomnia and nightmares. During one of them the Geologist see the end of the world – a portal to the Beach “opening” and BTs pouring through by the thousands, until a massive voidout happen. When he told Heartman about it, he likened it to the visions of extinction DOOMS sufferers tend to experience, a proof that chiralium is far from a recent addition to our world. The medicines cured him, finally connecting him to the Chiral Network and the UCA.
Full recovered, the Geologist has been able to push on with his research, coming to an important realisation: basic science alone won’t unlock the mysteries of the Death Stranding, but only a kind of genius can, a genius like Heartman.

Notes[]
- According to his name tag, his real name is Thomas Hucksley.
- The Geologist wanted to be like Heartman, the most brilliant mind of his generation, and a DOOMS carrier. But that changed with the chiral contamination, since experience the suffering of a DOOMS carrier, made he realize that he will never be like him, make it glad in the end.
