Riiiiiight, he was. His last post here was a week ago, though, has he been keeping contacts through PMs or something? 

And on the subject, [@ManyThings] I think that rider would also be a better fit for Galileo, as you could have him use his flying machine. :P
Regardless, I don't actually feel very strongly on the matter, I just figured I'd share my point of view. Admittedly I'd still feel a little weird about it, but like I also said, it's not my responsibility, so if the GM accepts, I'll roll along with it.
