Skellen

Overseer Skellen was the Chief Robotics Officer at the Kaldor City Company.

Biography
Skellen worked on the prototype for a range of Super-Vocs, the first of which was developed for psychological counselling. Tula Chenka's voice was used for them as they found it soothing. However, the counselling did not work out as the empathy chips conflicted with some of the other circuits, which he considered a shame. He also wrote the protocol for the robots to make tea.

A week after Liv Chenka's return to Kaldor, Overseer Skellen became Tula Chenka's boss upon becoming Chief Robotics Officer, succeeding Jasdar Crick. He asked her about the Vissey project and later found her using his access code to look into the Company's recording of dead people's memories, prompting him to give her a permanent warning for misconduct on her record rather than let her go. Arak Varren later met with Skellen to tender his resignation, which Skellen accepted. However, he refused Liv's request to tell the deceased's families that Varren's negligence had killed them. He later took SV57 and, blackmailed with a recording of SV57 by Liv, he removed Tula's warning. (AUDIO: The Robots of Life)

Personality
Skellen was inflexible. He joked that he could talk for Kaldor. He considered himself to be a reasonable boss most of the time, encouraging Dress-Down Fridays and bringing in pastries for birthdays. (AUDIO: The Robots of Life)
