Orson Shaw

Orson Shaw is a scientist working with Auntie Cleo in Roseway.
==Background==
Orson was sent to Roseway to study raptidon behavior and ensure the safety of the research team in case the raptidons would cause problems. Unfortunately, he soon found out they cannot be controlled or make them less aggressive.Orson Shaw: "They are insatiably hungry, absolutely impossible to control in any fashion, and indeed appear to be powered entirely by hate. No amount of studying will enable us to control them--or even slightly sate their aggression."
Orson likes to tinker, even if it can get him into troubleThe Stranger: "Hold on. FORCE weapons are contraband.". When the Stranger encounters him in Roseway, he is working on "personal defensive device", although he is not allowed to mess with tech like that. Moreover Orson seems content Porter is away dealing with outlaws and Anton is busy "holding his head in his hands" because Orson can finally do some serious work.
