Who is this Solaris fellow in the pond?

[Scruffel]

So there's this Corpus ship I found in this circular pond. It's somewhat half sunken, and doesn't seem to have much of a purpose, besides being a good platform to fish from. But right next to it, was this Solaris worker. Just operating some of contraption. Well, not really operating but just standing near it. 

He even has some sort of truck that is wired or connected to the ship itself. 

He doesn't seem to do anything... nor have any sort of collision hitbox. 

So who the heck is this guy? And why is he here? If he's supposed to be on work... then what is his job even? Kind of seems like this guy may have been just placed here randomly, without really putting too much detail into him, I guess in terms of interacting with anything.

Would have been nice to maybe been able to talk with him, or even do some small trading or services. It just really confuses me that there's this random, neutral NPC here. Anyone find any other type of Solaris worker just hanging around in the Orb Vallis (besides the Vent Kids and Solaris United)?

Salvaging from the wreckage, most likely.

His boat looks more like a raft to me, thus the winch to be pulled back to shore once loaded up.

Would be nice if he was animated though, showed him moving crates around and stuff.

I think his job is... to... uh...

It's to...

...Look pretty.

His job is to look pretty.

His name is Bob and he has salvage rights to this wreck. He'd prefer it if you'd stop asking questions and let him work.

It's a good fishin raft.

But it's not your fishing raft.
