¿Qué es Greeble? Un greeble (también llamado greebly o nurnie) es un pequeño detalle en relieve que se añade a la superficie de un objeto o modelo más grande para darle complejidad visual, realismo y la ilusión de una escala mayor [Publicado originalmente el 12 de Junio del 2026]

Starmap Saturday Issue #6: Boombox, Chloe, and Greeble

First up, we have Boombox! They say first is the worst, and that is most certainly true today. Boombox is the last explorer in the Mystery Museum’s lineup, as well as the last. Whereas his fellow employees have a genuine love of history and the work they do surrounding it, Boombox just wants to get paid. He’s got lofty ambitions, dreams of universal fame and fatter stacks of solars (that means money) than this dingy sham museum could ever pay! He’s doesn’t care about the artifacts he’s recovering, but he’ll do anything to get a leg up over his competition; that competition usually being Allister & Doodle, the former of which he has a bitter rivalry with. Armed with extensive knowledge on all things explosive, the license to use them, and a rubbery elastic body that renders him nigh unkillable (aside from sharp objects), Boombox is a constant annoyance.

It should come as no surprise that Boombox is universally disliked by his peers. He’s greedy, power hungry, and totally egomaniacal. His “superhero” persona isn’t his real self, but he wears the costume so often he’s essentially become the character he’s playing. He dreams of making Boombox a movie legend, planning to make a major discovery working at the museum to use as a springboard into the film industry-he’s already got a whole trilogy of Boombox movies planned out! Boombox is packed full of energy, constantly bouncing around whilst putting down his coworkers and attempting propping himself up. Thing is, Boombox is impatient, always looking for shortcuts. Combined with his cartoonish movement, and Boombox’s schemes to get ahead usually go down in flames-oftentimes literally.

There’s more to Boombox than this heel persona, of course, but I’m going to leave that for you to discover; his story is told in Allister & Doodle: Head Hunters, which I’ll leave a link to at the end of this post. For now, let’s go from the most bombastic employee in the museum to its most reserved.

Chloe Waxstaff is a new hire at the Umbrondon Museum of Natural Mystery, yet to make her official debut in the Starmap Saga. She’s an archaeologist, working at the museum for her final year of college. Coming from a home that was less than supportive of her, Chloe is very shy and easily spooked. She’s always scared of not being accepted, so tends not to try making connections. The poor girl is always shivering, and sometimes dizzies herself. Chloe is a lot more capable than she thinks though; the girl is a straight A student, and would likely be A+ if she didn’t second guess herself so much. She’s crafty, too, able to think up solutions for problems most people would take hours to figure out. If her plans ever go awry, it’s usually because she over prepared or second guessed herself too hard. Lastly, while she hesitates to talk a lot, Chloe will absolutely talk your ear off about her interests if she gets the chance. And it will be adorable.

Last but not least is Greeble! She’s the janitor. A tiny blue hairball on legs, Greeble diligently tends to the floors of the museum. When she spots a stain or a spill, she’ll lie down directly on it, then vibrate for a few seconds before getting back up. This removes the stain without fail. Greeble’s exact personality is hard to ascertain, as she speaks entirely in beeps and chirps that only the others at the museum can understand. Curiously, though, she always seems to know what’s going on, and usually has the answers for difficult problems. She’s generally pretty friendly, but mostly does her own thing. Nobody knows where she comes from or what her deal is, but she’s well liked by her peers.
