Genesis: Aeterna (Animated Movie)

- 1. Please have a decent mic. It will vary from person to person without a doubt, but please do not submit entries using your phone or a likewise inept device.
- 2. Flexibility and timeliness is appreciated. I understand most of you are finishing up school as of recently. Because the project is not scheduled for completion until this Winter season, I urge you to use this break to your advantage and be readily-available whenever I may need re-recordings.
- 3. Because Genesis: Aeterna is not an entirely conventional project, feedback and personal discretion is welcome. If you want to change a line or have qualms about a scene or a character you are more than welcome to tell me. However, do not take this freedom lightly.

"Hey, now, let's not rush to cutting each other up just yet..."
"Do they have dancing on Mars? You know how?"

Deployed primarily to the Asian Quarter of the Directorate, these soldiers often sport bashful and arrogant thinking that places them above others.

Often they find themselves sent in secret to perform the covert doings of their superior officers.

"Director, we have a situation in Beijing. It's Agent Freeman."
The people of this corporate dystopia live a sexually-frustrated, oblivious lifestyle. They often only look out for themselves and are generally only interested in sex or relationships involving sex. Courtesy among them is nearly extinct.

"You're new, aren't you? Hop in, we're going to Tech Noir tonight. Unless you like it out here...?"
"It's like current year and we've still got sticks. Like what the fuck?"
