Tom is a pilot from the Toronto and the main character of game. When the ship reached Nugget, his task was to take a shuttle to an exploratory flight with Inspector Beegle, but his death from an explosion in the COM room made Rainer Hofstedt be selected to fly with Tom instead.
After their departure from the Toronto, Tom and Rainer witness their shuttle malfunction and only Tom's piloting skills save them from crashing violently to the planet. After seeing the thriving life of Albion, Tom sets out to find the ship and stop it from destroying the planet.
Tom's friends among the crew include Joe Bernard, whom he knew before the Toronto's launch, and Christine Mocci, his girlfriend.
