Luka Golubkin

Luka Golubkin is an escaped Volunteer and murder aboard Talos I. His volunteer id is V-010655-37.

Golubkin was very proficient at smuggling contraband into the station's prison system. This included some rather dangerous materials such as recycler charges.

Through neuromods, Golubkin was given the culinary skills of Will Mitchell, the chef of Talos I. When the player first encounters Golubkin, he will ask the player to retrieve a cooking award from Will Mitchell's quarters. Golubkin probably inherited Mitchell's emotional attachment to this award.

The neuromods also gave Golubkin a psychic awareness of the looming Typhon threat. Like Morgan Yu, he sensed that in deep space there was some malevolent and ravenous organism, and that Yu's experiments were drawing it to Earth. The staff in the Volunteer Quarters observed that he spent hours silently rocking in his chair, haunted by his disturbing visions.

Golubkin is first encountered in the Crew Quarters, where he masquerades as the station's chef, Will Mitchell. Golubkin will try to trap the player in the kitchen freezer as retribution for the experiments he suffered. If Golubkin succeeds, the player can thereafter find Golubkin in an escape pod on the Bridge level. He will try to lure the player into the pod and kill them both with a recycler charge. Even if the player spots and disarms the charge, Golubkin will commit suicide anyway by poison.
