CLEARANCE::STANDARD
He and Opera are the primary focus of the first act of Blue Sphere. Arriving on the planet Edifice, their ship is pulled into the planet's atmosphere and crash lands. Opera and Ernest immediately send out an SOS signal to Precis back on Earth, but they decide to explore the area while they wait.
Because of Ernest's love of archeology, and Opera wanting to be close to him, they wander off and are missing when Precis and their friends arrive.
// tactical_assessment
Ernest's field skill "Room Analysis" is needed to unlock a few hidden passages, though these just lead to loot. Battle-wise, Ernest has terrific range for a melee character but his overall attack speed is slow. He also comes into the game later than most party members so his full potential isn't usually seen unless you plan on grinding.
Skill Balance Graph — No one can master every skill in Blue Sphere. The graph gives a visual representation of how many skill points are in each of the four categories: Tec, Int, Btl, or Sen. Go too far in one direction and you'll find that you can no longer unlock skills in the opposite direction's category.
