Like I said, Trisk, fair warning. You try to pull something like that, and I'm out.
Try to rationalize it all you want, I'm not cool with players rolling against other players. For what it's worth, Moto isn't a lone wolf, he's just cautious, curious, and overly confident as long as he's safely behind his drones. If your character can win his trust through roleplaying, he'll listen to good advice. As for providing (physical) overwatch, what do you think it is that Moto does?
