OK. Brains is scared. And upset.
He thought he'd be safe at SerenityCon, and he'd got his family with him, and he saw they could all have died.
The mauler was an idea he'd played with as a "totally safe means of transport", but, "completely impractical". If the mauler was the only really major thing he built in his life, maybe the last thing he built, story logic might justify it. But, I don't think Brains is "finished" yet, so it doesn't really make sense.
What sort of thing might Brains reasonably do about his fear? I'm pretty sure he will try and build or create something. I don't think he'll try and hide away in his 'safe' Lunar home. But, unlike some, he's a strong believer in non-violence.
What makes sense in terms of Fenspace?
And, what can he do that fits in with his idea of being "obscure"?
