Kowalski

Kowalski was a male crew member of the Apocalypso, who flirts with Arrelts. He appears to be knowledgeable of the A.I. systems such as Melissa. He first appears in the memory that Melissa uses for her benchmark test in the Phase 2 Operator's Monologue.

Death

The name Mat Kowalski appears on the ONI Memorial at ONI Alpha Site in New Mombasa. This is probably, though not definitely, Kowalski. His death therefore occurred sometime before October 20, 2552. It is likely that he was reassigned to another vessel after the Apocalypso and was killed in battle. Another possibility is that he died in an "accident" like Captain Greene, however this seems unlikely due to Greene's absence from the Memorial.

Trivia

• His last name is a reference to one of the characters in The Penguins of Madagascar. Kowalski is the tall penguin who acts as the scientist and the genius of the four penguins in the show.
