“We don't just let anyone inside. There's an entrance test. We call it the SAFE test. Everyone's got to take it.”— Swanson
Swanson is a watchman living in Covenant in 2287.
Background[]
Swanson works directly for the compound and administers the SAFE test at the front gate of Covenant. According to the mayor of Covenant, Jacob Orden, he has little to no idea who he was, where he came from, or how to help him.[1]
