Description[]
Emmet Egon Ellis is one of the six main characters in the game 60 Parsecs!. When scavenging, he has the usual four inventory slots, and has 25 seconds to explore the area (the longest for any character). If not chosen in scavenging mode, he takes up two inventory slots and can be seen trapped in a tangle of wires.
Message at the ending[]
At the ending, a message about each character will be displayed. The message depends on the morale of the character and whether he is alive or dead.
(Morale, Life or death situation)
(Friend, Survived) Emmet began the journey as Captain [Captain's Name]’s science officer, and finished it as his/her closest friend. Some say you only know who your true friends are after you’ve eaten a barrel of soup with them. That’s most definitely what happened here.
(Neutral, Survived) As Captain [Captain's Name]’s science officer, Emmet witnessed more wonders of the universe than he thought possible. When the mission was over, Emmet left to pursue his own goals, mumbling something about ["dissecting giant space squids" Or "black holes and revelations" Or "cybernetic body enhancements"].
(Enemy, Survived) Driven by his distaste for Captain [Captain's Name], Emmet devoted his brilliant mind to besting his adversary. Having reinvented himself as Teddy’s arch-nemesis, he made sure his ex-captain was pranked constantly, until the end of his/her days.
(Soulmate, Dead) Emmet’s adventure was shorter than he would have hoped for, but he got to witness more miracles of the universe than he thought possible. All of them paled in comparison to the second greatest wonder of all, though - the love that blossomed between himself and Captain [Captain's Name]. The first one was of course a life-long diet of canned tomato soup.
(Friend, Dead) Emmet’s adventure was shorter than he would have hoped for, but by the time he made his unfortunate exit, he witnessed more wonders of the universe than he thought possible. Like, three of them.
(Neutral, Dead) Emmet’s time in space was shorter than he would have hoped for, but by the time he made his unfortunate exit, he witnessed more wonders of the universe than he thought possible. To be honest, even on Earth, he had already wished for his body to be ejected into space after his death.
(Enemy, Dead) Emmet’s adventure was shorter than he would have hoped for, but by the time he made his unfortunate exit, he witnessed more wonders of the universe than he thought possible. His only regret was having to be part of Captain [Captain's Name]’s crew. That was a real bummer for him.
Appearance[]
Emmet is African-American. He has curly brown hair, a thin body shape, wears white shield glasses, and has an orange astronaut suit with yellow gloves and boots. Overtime, he will grow a brown beard, and his hair will grow out, too.
Background[]
Despite his brilliant mind, Emmet has always been undervalued and misunderstood by his peers. Seeking scientific challenge - and to get away from his ungrateful job as a chemistry teacher - he signed up for the Astrocitizens Program, hoping this will be the place where he can finally earn the appreciation and respect he deserves.
Stats[]

Intelligence: III (Brilliant)
Strength: 0 (Wimpy)
Boost: Resourceful [You always manage to get something extra from choices and expeditions.]

Emmet Events[]
(To complete):
Emmet's Chess Game:[]
(If Emmet is insubordinate):
(First time) Emmet is challenging you to settle your differences with a game of chess. Captain, I don't see a way you can refuse him without hurting your authority over this shuttle. This is also a... personal issue for me. Emmet is strategic, clever and patient; in other words, the nightmare difficulty level opponent. He's so good he regularly beats computer. I know, because I am that computer. So, Captain, will you defeat him? For me?
(Other times) Emmet is insisting you settle your differences with another chess match, Captain. He's bored of beating me, the computer, every time we play. Will you play him?
Show Intelligence:[]
- You played Emmet at chess, and your opponent fell right into your traps. But if Emmet was best, and you beat him so easily... what did that mean? Was it only a streak of beginner's luck? The possibilities made you nauseous.
- It's pretty obvious that Emmet is now insane. +Emmet's sanity decreases
- You played Emmet at chess, and he wiped floor with you. He subverted you authority as captain with a simple game of strategy. You lost much sleep over it. +Decreases Captain's sanity(To be checked)
Proof Of Relationship:[]
(If Emmet is your friend):
1. (If the Captain hasn't soulmate + If the Captain is male) Emmet wants to know what your relationship status is, and I don't mean who is getting the bigger rations of soup. While I may not be keen on all the nuances of human relationships, it is clear Emmet is nervous about his first partenering whit another man, and desires some transparency. You're romantically unattached. Perhaps clarifying your relationship status with Emmet would be best for both of you. The last thing we need on this shuttle is more uncertainty. Will you give Emmet a token of your affection?
2. (If the Captain hasn't soulmate + If the Captain is female) Emmet wants to know what your relationship status is, and I don't mean who is getting the bigger rations of soup. While I may not be keen on all the nuances of human relationships, it is clear Emmet has formed a special amotional attachment to you. You're romantically unattached. Perhaps clarifying your relationship status with Emmet would be best for both of you. The last thing we need on this shuttle is more uncertainty. Will you give Emmet a token of your affection?
3. (If the Captain has soulmate + If the Captain is male) Emmet wants to know what your relationship status is, and I don't mean who is getting the bigger rations of soup. While I may not be keen on all the nuances of human relationships, it is clear Emmet is nervous about his first partenering whit another man, and desires some transparency. You're romantically entangled with another member of this crew. Deedee/Baby/Maegan/Tom/April isn't going to like you choosing Emmet. But honestly is the more efficient course here. The last thing we need on this shuttle is more uncertainty. Will you give Emmet a token of your affection?
4. (If the Captain has soulmate + If the Captain is female) Emmet wants to know what your relationship status is, and I don't mean who is getting the bigger rations of soup. While I may not be keen on all the nuances of human relationships, it is clear Emmet has formed a special amotional attachment to you. You're romantically entangled with another member of this crew. Deedee/Baby/Maegan/Tom/April isn't going to like you choosing Emmet. But honestly is the more efficient course here. The last thing we need on this shuttle is more uncertainty. Will you give Emmet a token of your affection?
Use Atomic Battery:[]
- (If the Captain hasn't soulmate) You gave Emmet the battery and told him he was a constant inspiration to you, the way the battery was a constent source of energy for whatever it was plugged into. Emmet added a switch, nail, and some spare copper wire to the battery, creating an electromagnet, which he said represented his powerful attraction to you. +Emmet becomes your soulmate
- (If the Captain has soulmate) You gave Emmet the battery as a symbol of your intense feelings for him, but Deedee/Baby/Maegan/Tom/April leapt out of the shadows and snatched the battery way, putting it back on the shelf with the other items. "I'm stopping this nosense right now, before it gets us all killed", Deedee/Baby/Maegan/Tom/April said. You made an enemy today, Captain... +Emmet becomes your soulmate +Deedee/Baby/Maegan/Tom/April becomes your enemy
Use Tape:[]
- (If the Captain hasn't soulmate) You gave Emmet the tape, and he spent the next few hours crafting you an incredible tape-mâché model of the galaxy with wire frames and paint. The model accurately depicted our home, the Milky Way as a barred spiral, rather than a regular spiral galaxy. He pointed to the location of your former home, Earth, mid-way upon the Orion Arm, then to where he estimated our current position was, 60 parsecs (or 195.7 light years) further out from the galactic center. +Emmet becomes your Soulmate
- (If the Captain has soulmate) You gave Emmet the tape, and he spent the next few hours crafting you an incredible tape-mâché model of the galaxy with wire frames and paint. Deedee/Baby/Maegan/Tom/April wasn't too happy about that, and kicked the model galaxy apart seconds after it was completed. "I'm stopping this nosense right now, before it get us all killed", Deedee/Baby/Maegan/Tom/April said. You made an enemy today, Captain... +Emmet becomes your Soulmate +Deedee/Baby/Maegan/Tom/April becomes your Enemy
Use Nothing:[]
- You did not give Emmet anything to show him you were serious about a relationship. Emmet's feelings were hurt.
Universal Perfection:[]
(If Emmet is insane):
Emmet has been muttering to himself in the corner of the shuttle for hours. When you tapped him on the shoulder, he gave you a wild-eyed look and says, "Electromagnetic rays are absolutely, naturally perfect." Emmet gets up and frantically begins searching the shuttle, saying he must find "similar evidence of universal perfection" somewhere on board. He looks dead-set on this, Captain. Will you give him something to study?
Use Atomic Battery:[]
- You gave Emmet the battery to study in search of evidence of "universal perfection." He spend hours lifting the object and putting it down, putting hi ear to it and asking questions. After hours of debating himself, Emmet at last arrived at the unresolvable possibiltity that perhaps perfection was a subjective, rather than universal quality. He then went back to his chair and took a nap.
Use Communicator:[]
- ???
Use Nothing:[]
- You did not give Emmet anything to study in search of "universal perfection," so he took it upon himself to scour the shuttle for evidence. Before you could stop him, he had disassemble a few important items to see if they were "internally consistent with their external aesthetics." Some of the damage was irreparable. +RANDOM gets damaged
Trivia[]
- In Scavenging mode, he has the longest preparation time. Emmet will start with 25 seconds before the countdown begins, which gives the player enough time to explore the entire space station to learn the layout and item locations. Due to his 2 points in Agility, he is also quite fast, but not as much as Deedee.
- If selected as Captain, Emmet will produce 1 of each type of materials everyday (chemicals, minerals ,and power).
- Emmet can be considered a high-risk character to send exploring due to his lack of Strength (that can level up with specific choices), but because of his high Agility and Intelligence, he is likely to return to the shuttle faster and bring more items than other characters would.
- He is considered the best character overall due to his high Intelligence and Agility, his useful perk and his scavenging efficiency.
- Emmet is also the best character to use alone because his resource skill makes up for being unable to leave the ship, he is good at scavenging, his intelligence make him able to easily find a planet and land on it, and his captain goal is the only one that is easy to fulfill alone.
- If Emmet was chosen as a crew member, died during the run, and the player got a good ending, he will be represented by his glasses being broken.
- Notably, his perk changed from "Experimental" to "Resourceful" after the Mission: April One update. Since he now produces far less resources daily, it was most likely changed to make playing as him more challenging and balanced.
- There is a chance that Emmet Ellis may have a family, but this is most likely not true. Because if it was Robot Gentlemen (the creators of 60 seconds and 60 parsecs) would most likely have stated this at one point.
- It's better not to leave him weak, insane, or both. Because everybody's skills are lowering down (or up) with conditions. Insanity slightly puts down his intelligence, while being weak decreases agillity (and strength if its leveled up).
- One of his friendship and rivalry events reveals that when Emmett was a child, he grew up in a small town and was bullied by the children around him.
