Biography[]
Richard Dix was a member of the U.S. Marshall service. After foiling a terrorist plot against a fast food chain restaurant, he was assigned by police workerCassandra Menage to investigate the possible cloning and replacement of the President of the United States.
Dix's investigation brought him to Moon Base Vegan where he met Lieutenant Bradford Shitzu, the station's security chief as well as Captain Valentino DiPasquale, a man whom he would be sharing quarters with. Dix began to suspect the station's adminstrator, Doctor Griffin Pratt, of being responsible for cloning the President, but his bumbling throughout the station only served to confound his investigation rather than aid it. Believing that he had retrieved the true President, he returned to Earth only to later discover that he had delivered the President's clone to the White House.
