Cannot Goodenough is an NPC in Arknights. He runs the Rogue Trader in Integrated Strategies, where he is also an optional boss under the names Cannot, Mr. Goodenough, and Can Doe.
Background[edit]
Nothing is known about Cannot other than him being a strange man who wanders around Terra's wilderness to trade with anyone regardless of affiliation and allegiance, although he had some relations with the anarchists of Rusthammer. Cannot's goods are funny and unknown, but most of them are "good enough," giving him some reputation among his clients.[2]
Behind his eccentricity, Cannot is an ambitious man who wanted the Terrans to stop fighting each other so that they could focus on fending off external threats encroaching the land: Collapsals from the Northlands and Foehn Hotlands, Seaborn, and those beneath the Durins' underground world. This is also why Cannot maintain a neutral stance with his clients; even if they are hostile towards each other, as is the case with Rhodes Island or Reunion, he will do business with them so long as they could bring progress to the bleak world of Terra.[3]
Story[edit]
Vigilo[edit]
After the Doctor and Amiya ran into the Columbian wilderness to avoid the police bribed by Mama John's, the two met him and asked whether he could lead them to a nearby supply station. He agreed and then led them throughout the journey for three days. But without knowing, their journey was actually supervised by his fellowmen in Rusthammer and the intention remains unknown.
When reaching the supply station, the Doctor had already noticed something fishy and revealed it in front of Mr. Goodenough. In turn, the Doctor requested him and his "friends" to help Amiya leave the border in safety in exchange for a few documents in their car. The trade was fair and Mr. Goodenough was impressed by the Doctor's character, commenting that Rhodes Island would make the future of the wilderness much more interesting.[4]
A Light Spark in Darkness[edit]
Mr. Goodenough was the one who sold the VTOL to the resurgent Reunion which would be used during the jailbreak of Talulah. Using the document sold by the Doctor, he had the Rusthammers ambush for an upcoming truck from Columbia travelling into a canyon and lured an 8-meter-tall Metal Crab to attack the vehicle. Seeing that his action was truly bizzard, hostility almost broke out between the two factions had not Gareth came to stop them.
After checking the goods, Nine questioned him about his earnest intention in aiding them so that Reunion could win his trust. In turn, Mr. Goodenough replied that he was disappointed by the corruption across many Terran nations, specifically Columbia and Victoria, which led to their neglection of the warning of a Sami Snowpriest concerning an upcoming "end of the world." He had been aiding a lot of organizations, even including the Cyclopses of Sami and the occultists of Sargon, so that they could accelerate the progress of social advancement. Nine replied that R.I should be be his best answer, but he believed that R.I. alone could never resolve the issue. So, he wished all elite forces across Terra to band together and prepare themselves as a flickering spark for an upcoming darkness.[3]
A1 Operations Preparation Detachment[edit]
| “ | Tkaronto's attitude towards the Infected is even more severe than before. You can't go back. Come with me to Ursus, I know a place that's perfect for you. | ” |
| —Cannot Goodenough to Elba |
Mr. Goodenough rescued Elba while he was passing by Tkaronto after the "Blackwasp". He feels grateful that she finally woke up after five days since she was the only survivor he found amidst the snow, and tells her that he's now heading to Ursus. Goodenough also explains that Damian has also died in the Catastrophe, but aparently managed to get her out of the ruins. And since Tkaronto's treatment towards the Infected has worsened, he invites her to find a new place that she could call home. Later on, Goodenough entrusts Elba to FrostNova.[5]
Trivia[edit]
