Readjustment - Sci-fi audiobook (PAID)
hoshi-tora for Helen Gray
Minor role.
Helen Bach's murdered mother, and the most influential figure in Helen's life. Would kill every man, woman, and child in the City if she thought it could help her daughter.
Any voice type; must sound plausibly older than Helen Bach, so if you have a higher-pitched voice be aware of that.
Oh my sweet girl. Oh my love, I’m sorry. I’m so sorry this happened to you ... But Ellie, this is an opportunity.
I’ll haunt you, Thomas. I swear it. If you betray her, I’ll destroy you. It won’t matter if I’m dead. I’ll come back. I’ll haunt you.
(forceful) I will only say this one time, Ellie, because if you don’t understand it by now you’re lost already: you do not need their approval. And if you so much as look like you’re waiting for it, you weaken your position. Tell them you’re designing weapons to fight ninjas, tell them you want to make sure they’re safe the next time they do something unaccountably stupid. Tell them whatever the fuck you want, or tell them nothing. You have social capital to burn, my love, and not a lot of time to do it in. So. You’re going to take this exosuit out to one of the test rooms. You’re going to adjust and calibrate it openly. And Ellie—you’re not going to ask anyone, not anyone, for permission.
