Iberia
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to: deleted55728

The voice of the synthetic intelligence controlling the Iberia, a Multi-Purpose Service Vessel. The voice is calm, clear, serious, deliberate, and professional. The emotion of the voice remains restrained, but should not come across as robotic. GERTY from Moon is a good reference.

  • You were in cryostasis for 771 days during our journey from the asteroid belt.

  • We are now in orbit around the moon of Ymir, approximately 22 million kilometers from Saturn. We received a distress signal from the mining facility here.

  • We are no longer receiving live communications from the outer moons. All bases are now transmitting automated distress signals.

Kantor

cast offsite

Kantor is a programmer and entrepreneur, the founder of both Juno Offworld and Cronus Frontier. Kantor is a sociopath and manipulates his people to get what he wants. All that matters to him is learning the alien technology and building a portal to another world, and he is paranoid that his own people will betray him. He is intense and extremely focused on his vision, qualities that motivated a lot of very smart people to follow him back when he started Cronus Frontier. Now he is prepared to destroy all of it to achieve his goal.

  • I don't care how dangerous it is! I don't care who dies! If you have to turn Titan into a black hole to make it happen, then do it!

  • *sighs* Annika, we've had this conversation before. Remember teleportation? That was impossible too, wasn't it? It couldn't be done...until you did it.

  • I need you to trust me, Annika. I will never give you more than you can handle. Never. My specs are good. My data are good. You just need to meet me halfway.

Role assigned to: crash6787

<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}-->Volkov has been mining asteroids for over 20 years and feels right at home on the tiny moon of Tarvos. Volkov is cynical when it comes to the suits and their office politics (especially Kantor), but he knows how to keep them happy by telling them what they want to hear. Volkov knows how dangerous this work can be so he's vigilant about keeping his subordinates safe.

  • I corrected Darrow's report. Kantor's looking for precision, not accuracy. Gotta tell the big man what he wants to hear. Learned that lesson the hard way.

  • Sibley's nervous. He thinks Kantor's out to get him for that report he sent back to Juno Offworld. If you want to be a team player, you gotta keep your mouth shut.

  • Life support's failing, but I can't get to the cryotubes. Operators are blocking the access corridor. Where the hell is Kwan?

James Lynch

Role assigned to: Jonathan Cooke

<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}-->James Lynch is a C-suite alpha male executive--charismatic, domineering, arrogant. He's been Kantor's right-hand man since the founding of Cronus Frontier but recently fell out of favor and found himself banished to the outer moons. Lynch has lost his swagger, and he's obsessed with the fact that Cronus Frontier's economic forecast is bleak. He isn't wrong.

  • I worked with Kantor from the beginning, back when Juno Offworld was nothing but a scrappy little startup. I swore I'd follow that bastard to the edge of the universe, and that's exactly what I did.

  • Ever since that incident with the Enceladus crew, Kantor's been acting strange. He wants a Kraken security detail. Here. At Skoll. Who's going to attack Skoll? There's nobody out here. Except us.

  • I wish I knew what's happening on Titan, whatever projects they're working on now. I've been in the dark since my reassignment. Kantor blamed me when Juno Offworld got a hold of the teleport technology.

Role assigned to: KevinKGomez

Bai Li is a new arrival to Cronus Frontier and assigned to the security team on Pheobe. He is eager to serve and thrilled that Kantor has entrusted him with the important task of spying on his coworkers to root out traitors. He's excited about the prospect of fighting and violence, but he also misses his friend Minka who died in a shuttle accident.

  • Bai Li, Safety Officer. We've deployed teams to Skoll, Tarvos, and Ymir to reinforce defenses. We'll use the auto-ops to protect the colony if we're attacked.

  • Per Kantor's request, I'm monitoring all communication, internal and external. He thinks we have spies on the inside. If anyone tries to establish contact outside the colony, they'll be sorry.

  • Samsa reports a disturbance in the processing plant. We'll go check it out.

Role assigned to: benbevoicing

<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}-->Tamboli and his team are responsible for maintaining and improving the autonomous operators that serve the colony. Sanvi is genuinely amazed Kantor's innovations and sees their economic potential if only they were back in the asteroid belt. He's in the middle of his career and sees great things ahead of him. He looks down on those assigned to the outer moons as the inferior "B team."

  • Sanvi Tamboli. 2117-08-31. I lead the auto-op engineering team here at the Workshop.

  • All the designs come from the big man himself and Davi Salazar's team on Tethys. It's one major breakthrough after another.

  • Flavin says Phoebe was modding the auto-op AI code. Now THAT is a stupid thing to do! But were they dumb enough to mess with the safety protocols?

Role assigned to: Jonathan Cooke

<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}-->Oberon Kalu is a materials scientist. He is engrossed in the scientific challenges presented to him but is unsettled by all the secrecy surrounding the project. His passion for the dream of Cronus Frontier outweighs his concerns about Kantor's real ambitions.

  • Oberon Kalu, Metallurgist. The specs we received from Kantor are...unusual, as the parameters far exceed our capabilities. At first, I thought Kantor might be joking.

  • With Kantor's help, we've made dramatic improvements in our alloying process. We're now creating materials I never imagined possible. We may be on the threshold of a new technological revolution.

  • I am frustrated by all this secrecy. We are unable to communicate with other facilities except to fill their orders for new components.

Sam Amjad

Role assigned to: Jonathan Cooke

Amjad is a former military officer who oversees the space port at Titan Harbor. He's concerned about what Kantor might be doing at Tethys and Enceladus, but he's a good soldier and follows orders. When Harper comes to him with a secret request, he chooses to do the right thing and help her, even if it means disobeying Kantor's directives.

  • Sam Amjad, Flight Control and Logistics. 2117-11-05. The MPSV from Juno Offworld is now completely unloaded. Slagel estimates at least three months of maintenance and prep before we can send it back home.

  • MPSV, this is Titan Harbor, Cronus Frontier. Your transponder is off. This is a direct violation of the Ceres Accord of 2089. Identify yourself, or we will intercept.

  • We just received the new auto-ops from Titan Workshop. I served four tours of duty and never saw anything like these units.

Role assigned to: LAWebley

Salazar is the preeminent scientist at Cronus Frontier and oversees the most cutting edge research at the colony. He is thoroughly absorbed in the discovery of the alien ship, though he has some misgivings about Kantor's behavior. By the time he realizes something is seriously wrong, it is too late.

  • This is Davi Salazar, Chief Scientist, Tethys Advanced Research Lab.

  • They discovered the wreckage of what we now know is an alien craft. We believe the vessel originated from a star system in the Cygnus constellation, over 1200 light years away.

  • I have reason to believe that Gabriel Kantor…*sighs* Dammit.

  • Pilot, this is Roger Beale, senior scientist.

  • We've deployed an improvised warhead to take out the portal.

  • The sovereign AI is partially integrated into the Iberia's synthetic cortex. We've isolated the sovereign and assumed direct control of all ship systems.

Role assigned to: Jeremy Smith-Sebasto

<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}-->An automated distress signal. No emotion. Intended for clarity.

  • ATTENTION ATTENTION ATTENTION

  • This is an automated emergency broadcast from Skoll Outpost, Cronus Frontier.

  • In accordance with the Olympus Mons Convention of 2076, the master of any spacefaring vessel, in so far as he or she can do so without endangering ship, crew, or passengers, is required to proceed with all possible speed to the rescue of persons in distress if informed of their need of assistance.

Role assigned to: elsielovelock

<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}-->Dr. Yamada is one of the most preeminent astrophysicists in the field. She embraced the opportunity to head up Cronus Frontier's observatory and meticulously oversaw its design and construction. She is serious, thoughtful, and dedicated to the Cronus Frontier project. The death of her lover Simone in the shuttle accident was devastating, and the pain of the loss is still raw though she keeps her grief to herself.

  • This is Dr. Matsuko Yamada, Chief Astrophysicist. My team has been tasked with a special project from Gabriel Kantor in support of the Forge and Titan Collider.

  • We just received a shipment of auto-ops from the Workshop. They're mining issue with military-grade enhancements. The observatory feels more oppressive every day.

  • The emergency alarms just went off. The safety director has ordered the entire facility locked down. Could this be the attack Kantor warned us about?

Annika Geisler

Unpaid
Role assigned to: deleted55728

Geisler is afraid of Kantor and the danger he poses to the colony, in particular to her best friend Harper Eames. She's upset that Harper went to Enceladus to work with Kantor and suspects that the recent shuttle explosion might not have been entirely accidental (though she does not express this suspicion explicitly). She's under tremendous pressure to meet Kantor's unrealistic expectations. She doesn't want to fail for fear of being assigned to the outer moons.

  • Kantor invited Harper to join his team at Enceladus. I'm surprised he's resuming work so soon after the shuttle accident. It's irrational, but I worry about Harper going out there.

  • The specifications we received from Kantor are...insane, for lack of a better word. We cannot conduct experiments at those parameters without putting the entire facility at risk.

  • Everything is unravelling--the team, our facility, my mind. We'll either blow ourselves up or turn this moon into a strange particle.

Harper Eames

Role assigned to: Heisenbern

Harper Eames is the hero of the story. She realizes that Kantor's obsession is a danger to everyone in the colony, and she takes action to inform Juno Offworld and ask for help. She enlists Alex Warden (the player character) and Sam Amjad to help her smuggle an alien sovereign on board the Iberia. She knows this is a matter of life and death, and conveys that urgency in her messages.

  • Sam, this is Harper. I need to ask you a favor. We need a cryotube berth on the Iberia for Alex Warden.

  • Warden is transporting cargo from Tethys. Find a secure hiding place for it on board. We have to get it to Juno Offworld.

  • Kantor is not aware I located the second sovereign. If he were to find out I placed it on the Iberia, my life would be in danger. Kantor is paranoid, obsessive, and violent.

<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}-->The player character. Warden doesn't talk for most of the game and is suffering from amnesia brought on by revival from cryostasis. When his/her memory suddenly comes back on an alien world, he/she speaks for the first time. The delivery should convey a sense of awe, as if remembering a strange dream. The memories are coming back as he/she speaks.

  • Pilot's Log. Location, date, and time unknown.<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}-->

  • Cloising my eyes. Falling asleep. Waking up. I remember everything. (read each sentence like a new log entry)
