I think Connie is more about having not only a meaningful job, but a home of sorts (think RV in our time) with someone who is treating her like she should expect to be treated. And I think she also is attracted to him. Otherwise why explain about having the entertainment package?
@ Centcomm..To motivate him! She brought that up for a reason. She also will be trying to figure out just who he really is due to all the different names he has gone by so far. Could be exciting in a way for her. Both personal and sexually.
Well, he may or may not be interested in Connie, but right now, I get the impression that the mission is his primary concern. There is business to be done, currency to track, and personal preferences will simply have to wait.

After all is said and done about who wants who. He is probably the only Waster who has good hygiene. That had to be a plus considering how may she had a whiff of over the last 6 months.
@Highlander not sure he is actually a Waster, have a sneaking feeling he has a more comfortable and secure base than our friendly local neighborhood Lunar Spy had and it may well not be in the wastes. Also wonder if the eye patch is really necessary or is part of some persona's he uses. A man with his description and prominent facial features, such as a self adhesive eye patch,would be easily identified by facial recognition software and suddenly boom there go all of Clark Kent's secret identities.This coupled with his somewhat eccentric and antique clothing habits such as the suspenders and dressing like an 1850's riverboat gambler not many traders in the wastes probably fit that profile.
I couldn't think of anything more appropriate to call him.His livelihood keeps him out in the wastelands it just seems to fit. Good cover for him as any I guess. I think you are right about him being a lot more than what he seems to be at least on the outside. All of those different names but the same outfit you would think someone would have crossed paths with him. The eye patch could have bionics as well. (Consider the Doctor Who episodes where they are worn as network links,)
I JUST noticed something in panel 2... Is this ship ARMED? That sure looks like a weapons turret in panel 2. And not a LITTLE one at that.
I figured they had weapon ports available for small arms fire, but didn't truly expect them to have THAT level of firepower. Possibly some smaller discrete weapons that could be deployed. Certainly not a turret with anti-armor cannons mounted!
That is the only shot I've seen that the barrels were visible in.
Besides, it's cheaper to just rent them as needed!.
