Malcolm

Malcolm Ryan Beauregard was a Bounty Hunter who's biggest claim to fame was being killed by his own pet ferret in early 3006. He had worked as many different jobs, his final one being a security guard under the employ of Amethyst Operations.

His death was surprising and ill fitting, and made the news because of it's unusual nature. He was keeping his pet ferret on board the Teamhair, when it subesquently got exposed to a cargo crate left near the ship. Malcolm was merely sleeping in a hammock strung between landing struts, so he did not know of this. The crate, which awaited loading on a battered cargo freighter called the Annapolis, was apparently full of leaking vials of anathatoxis - a military-grade neurotoxin that can be spread by contact from one exposed victim to another. The ferret panicked after exposure, leaped onto the hammock and bit Beauregard's inner thigh. Both ferret and owner died minutes later. The crate was confiscated by Sivadian authorities and the Annapolis was impounded. After a few hours of lockdown, the spaceport has reopened for traffic.

Malcolm was cremated and his ashes were sent into space from the UKT Teamhair's airlock. Only a select few attended his funeral, his brother and father, Dement, Goldenfur, Alexia and Bartian Gale who was his best drinking buddy (aside his ferret).

Dement wrote a very touching eulogy. Everyone cried :(
