Sharpei

From Space Quest Omnipedia

Sharpei was an aged widow living on Delta Burksilon V and looking to achieve "endless" life through the efforts of the aptly-named "Project Immortality". She was associated with Dr. Beleauxs, and together they attempted to kidnap Roger Wilco and use his body for the advancement of their project, but they got Stellar Santiago instead.

Luckily for Stellar, Roger was able to jack into Cyberspace and find out Sharpei's plans. Sharpei's brain had been transformed and placed inside a Nanite, and had taken over Stellar's brain. Roger confronted Dr. Beleauxs and convinced him to help. Roger was shrunk and injected into Stellar's body.

After dealing with the other Nanites, Roger located Sharpei. Although he managed to destroy her Nanite shell, Sharpei was not yet dead. She re-emerged and captured Roger. It was only Roger's (surprisingly) quick thinking, and Sharpei's love of brain food, that destroyed her and saved Stellar.

[edit] Miscellaneous Information

• Sharpei's fifth husband was Admiral Blundtphang.
• Sharpei has a file in Cyberspace
• Based on the direction of The Space Quest Companion took the Space Quest Saga, more than likely Sharpei would have ended up having a connection to Sludge Vohaul in some form if a third edition had been published. How she could have been connected can only be speculated. One possibility is that she is Slash and Sludge Vohaul's sister. Their sister was the mother of Raemes Tipper Quirk. She had groomed her son to become the High Grand Master and Commander of the Star Con Fleet. Another possibility is that Sludge Vohaul was one of her former husbands. It is also possible that Sharpei and Sludge Vohaul are connected by Project: Immortality. Both Sharpei and Sludge Vohaul were driven to stay alive and finding new bodies to replace their own.
