Mary "Dusty" Waters
Of all the people Max met during her Lavan exhile, Dusty is perhaps the most fascinating. Born Mary Waters in the Texas Territories on Earth. She has been evasive about the date of her birth and no verified date is known.
She is the only one of the Mother’s acquiaintenances to have written a tell all book about Max’s time on Lava. The title of her book was “I Need A Drink: We’ve all had quite a shock.”
Though it was called a tell-all it didn’t really dish much on the Mother. Dusty offered her versions of several stories that are better told in the novelization “The Gavaskar Field”. There are just two stories about Max that are not told elswheres. (I’ll get to those later) Both show Max in a good light.
Dusty did spend some time detailing life in the Salmo Hotel the brothel she ran for almost tweny years before retiring to Colonial.
She purchased the hotel from the origional owner who’s name is lost to history. She had been there, goin’ on ten years when Max showed up across the street.
Dusty had been good friends with David Green the owner Mike’s saloon (untill it was renamed Max’s). Her, David and Sanderson had regular card games in her office at least once a week. It is not know if Dusty knew David Green’s secret, but she befriended Max at her first opportunity and watched over the Mother the entire time she was on Lava.
