This is something I imagine is the case for sheer common sense. He works with only a few teams, because there's just so much going on in a given mission that he isn't going to able to cover every single bug movement on the planet. So there's a pool of, say, fifty dwarves he watches over and there's other people in the same position as him all monitoring different, similarly sized groups. They then coordinate among themselves and at the behest of someone in lower management who's basically the same to them as he is to us. And so on and so forth up the company, while the Rig itself also has on-site storage, processing and refining, food production and other essential life-sustaining systems, and whatever else. Oh and maintenance, who probably don't have a good time most days when have the stuff we off the planet is jury-rigged to hell and back just so it _could_ get back.

i'd say management is a combination of dwarves and humans, and maybe another fantasy race or two. humans do *not* want you to be drunk on the job (cuz it'll get ya killed on hoxxes lol), but don't mind you doing so when off of work (like in real life). Elves wouldn't do that. They're too refined for it - they'd just sip some wine in their off time. i'd also say there's multiple mission controls. My headcanon is that every lobby is a set of dwarves setting off in-universe, and we the players see the same mission control because it's a game - but if it was real you'd have multiple people managing a set amount of missions each (like IRL management of big companies). repeating voice lines are done because it's a standardized briefings specifically made to prevent confusion. Maybe mission controllers are allowed to be more free-form on non-briefing stuff, but ours is just a "by-the-books" guy?

As others (@Crashpunk) have said. I think he's like a personal handler for you and and ~~~30-40 other dwarves. Explaining how he can keep up with your missions, build a relationship of sorts and grows to respect you in some way. Although he's definitely tired of dwarves antics, it seems like he definitely once subscribed to them himself, his reply to the: "we're rich!" lines tells us that he once said the exact same thing, but it's been quite a long time since then and he's probably outgrown it. As for his comments on barrels and stuff? Obviously he doesn't want to lose his job, he's got to try and stop you from destroying company property some way or another. And the salvages are from others who died, suggesting that he cares about you making it back alive and making sure their sacrifice was not in vain. Tldr: He's an old sod who's grown out of younger dwarven culture and is a company man, while still caring deeply for his brothers beneath the surface. Rock and Stone Mission Control dude!

My headcanon is that Mission Control is the mission control for space rig 17 specifically, and that there is other mission controls for every rig. I think he was previously a dwarf who was so effecient in the caves that he was offered a promotion to mission control. However because he's been at the company so long that he is grumpier than the standard dwarves. He's probably fed up having to deal with management breathing down his neck, while also having to try and babysit the dwarves he's responsible for to get management off his back. So he's basically a low level manager who is constantly stressed about his job.

As much as I like conspiracy theories that inevitably spawn from DRG being a pretty mysterious organization, I think Mission Control is just about exactly as he seems. He's an older dwarf who's dealt with a lot, coordinates all kinds of missions every day, but ultimately does care about the dwarves he's in charge of. I think the Rockpox season briefing and the things he says between assignment missions has been most illustrative of this; he speaks like he genuinely cares when dwarves die or are lost, just sometimes he's more abrasive than other times. It's kind of crazy how much of a fleshed out character he is despite being, as you say, a picture of a guy.

I honestly have grown to really like M.C.'s character. He first comes off as this superior you're inclined to despise (especially how he basically just assumes you're going to die during the tutorial), but as things go on, you really start to understand that he's got his own problems going on. Sure, he's got a cozier position at DRG, but he seems just as tired of nonsense as the Dwarves can be, and he's also got his own superiors, such as Management, that give him a hard time as much as (if not more than) what he does to rain on your parades. In the end, he's sort of just the middle man, trapped in the same corporate machine. And he does his job with surprising effectiveness - I'm sure he gets an earful whenever a team gets wiped, barrels have to be fished out of somewhere weird, or that the Dwarves under his jurisdiction aren't meeting their quotas on time. Sure, you can envy the guy for not risking his neck down there with the bugs, but the man has his own monsters to deal with, in much less exciting ways. I guess there's a good lesson in all that, really. Everyone's got their own stuff going on. He gives you a hard time simply because his own superiors are pressuring him, and maybe his own superiors are only keeping the pressure on him because of the expectations of their superiors - the chain going all the way to the top of DRG. M.C. is "Just A Guy", as they say. I hope one day, during an event, we can see the guy genuinely enjoy himself a little. His position is 24/7, he's on duty even during the holidays... and his own seldom moments of character make him seem like a guy that maybe wouldn't be that bad to have a few drinks with someday. Maybe he'd enjoy kicking the barrels around, too, if Management wasn't so stern about it.

And I feel he was a miner at some point. Probably was moved up when injured in a way that forced him out of the mine.

Awesome editing on this video btw. Seriously some crazy aesthetic shit that I can’t even do. Just try not to get too caught up with making the visuals too perfect. It’s an easy habit to get into, but if it starts holding you back from uploading as much as you want to, it might be best to take it easy a little bit. Realistically, the viewers stay for your humor, storytelling, and informational content. The edits are just the cherry on top, and nobody will notice if a couple of transitions aren’t perfect or something lol Anyways, amazing content man, keep it up.

I like the mission control guy. In my head, he's the guy that's actually part of your crew of dumbasses but managed to get into an important position to cover your crew of dumbasses while you're doing dumbass stuff on Hoxxes. He plays the grumpy "protocol very important" guy but he never really does anything about it, he's just there so that management doesn't decide to flush your homies in outer space. Thanks Robert, you're a cool mission control guy

I have a theory I like to call the Multi-Species Corporation Theory. I like to think dwarves aren’t the only species working for Deep Rock Galactic, and dwarves only have specific jobs in the company. I was discussing it with my friend and we came up with a few ideas. Goblins work as janitors and live in a secret room, gnomes design and make the pickaxe parts, orcs help make drop pods and rigs by doing heavy lifting, and a whole list of species.

One of my favorite mission control lines was the fourth and seventh (i think) completions in the Season 3 assignment.

I love Mission control now that I'm an old graybeard. When I started I hated that guy but just because he's kinda grumpy and impatient doesn't mean he's a jerk. He's a co worker, a part of our team. The sour attitude is clearly from his years working for DRG, he's not a bad guy. He's just tired and probably the most patient commander us dwarves could have. We're not always easy to deal with for non dwarves

Also, I kind of want Ghost Ship Games to release a little spin-off game, maybe on April Fools, where you get to play in the position of Mission Control. You're in a booth, there's multiple screens where you can monitor the dwarves' vitals and their camera POV, there's another screen where you can monitor the landscape and alert the team of any bugs coming in, you send in the supply pod, and just generally do what Mission Control does. An unofficial 5th class where you can play with your friends. A bit like *Papers, Please* mixed with FNAF (original). Though, management is a lot stricter on you, and you get deductions for every wrong thing you do, but bonuses for efficiency and doing your job well.

Could we get a Rival Company theory video next? I think they might be elves, seeing as elves and dwarves and elves don't exactly like each other, and elves are generally more advanced than dwarves. And if there's anybody who wouldn't want to get their hands dirty on Hoxxes, it'd be those snobby elves. For these reasons, I believe the Rival robots probably belong to those leaf-lovers. What do you think of this, and other theories?

love the video, id honestly would really like to see more missions types in DRG there's one idea id been having. Think about it, it's never really explained how the Dwarves get back on the Space Rig after they fail a mission. so to solve this loophole i came up with a new mission ✨Extraction✨ basically the objective is to rescue and extract injured dwarves and take them back to the space rig, maybe molly would be outfitted with a basket or a stretcher attachment to "deposit" the Dwarves i think that would be very cool. Idk if the company of Deep Rock Galactic would care that much to "rescue" Dwarves, but seeing that they have a medical bay shows that they at least care a little bit. anyways ROCK AND STONE!⛏⛏⛏

I like the idea that its an AI. We never see him, we see a mission control board on the balcony above the drop pod, but there's no chair, it's not powered on, and there's no place anyone could get it. We know Mission COntroll watches us via cameras exclusively, and notices EVERYTHING we do EVERYWHERE all of the time. He's an AI for sure. SPecificly, you're stock and standard "Person in a Computer" type of AI, which is why the trailers and so on have new lines and unique things he says. Not all AIs in scifi are evil. Hell, if you want to be realistic, AIs, intelligent or not, are as bound to their programming and limited by it as we are to our instincts and biology. So sick and tired of the done to death "AI EVIL THO!" its unrealistic, its boring, and its cutting the nuts off cool storytelling potential.

I have my own person head cannon that drg is in the same universe as the “suits” short from love death and robots season 1, the bugs in that look very much like glyphid grunts. And it’s my favourite of the shorts, as well as drg being my favourite game. It doesn’t have to be true but I like the idea that that’s humans on a different planet with alternate versions of glyphids swarming.

My theory, and take it with a grain of red sugar, is that mission control is a semi-retired Karl. Theory goes like this, Karl fights against the implied glyphyd matriarch and wins, but sustains heavy injuries in the process, and is unable to make planetfall anymore due to said injuries. He then gets hired for mission control, after all, who better to guide the dwarves on missions then the big K himself! After all, the players all started working for DRG well after Mission Control did, seeing as he makes note of when you joined. As for him being irritable, im just imagining it as a grandfather trying to corral his many grandchildren, while trying to keep them as safe as he can, while they actively are doing things that could get themselves hurt.

I actually thought that it would be cool if they added races to the game with their own strengths and weaknesses maybe even proprietary technology on top of the different classes. I'm pretty sure elves have already been confirmed to exist in universe. I'm thinking things like Dwarves get better mining equipment, elves are fast weak but have great AOE, Orc/Ork's can be tanky and slow, humans are the balanced class with no real strengths or weaknesses.

I like to think he's a really old scout who's so used to carrying the team they just gave him a radio and control tower. He's secretly jealous of the fun the teams have kicking barrels and dancing around, but he cares for them almost like extended family. Even the empty threats when you mess with the space rig make him sound like that great uncle that scolds you when your parents are around, but secretly lets you get away with using fireworks...
