Simmons is a character from The Long Rain. He can't stand the thought of marching through the torturous Venusian rains just to find yet another destroyed Sun Dome. Instead of continuing on his way to salvation, Simmons gives up the journey and plans to wait until the lieutenant is out of sight and then proceed to kill himself.
