Troika Background - Marooned Field Researcher

So it's recently announced that there will be a Troika Backgrounds Jam in itch, hosted by Jared and Cartwheel.

Aiming to post at least 6 backgrounds, here's a draft of one of the backgrounds I plan to submit. Another H2G2 character, this time it's the savvy drunk journalist that got stuck in an utterly insignificant little blue green planet for quite some time.
