CALLISTO: A Sci-Fi Psychological Horror Radio Play
frazell for Dr. Esmée Laroque
THE BIOLOGIST
Dr. Esmée Laroque is a cold, pragmatic and down-to-earth woman, having little interest in anything outside work, spending most of her time in the oxygen dome which produces air for the base. Although recommended to the mission by Gibson, Esmée wants nothing more than to return to Earth as quickly as possible, a fact she keeps from her fellow crew. When the signal emerges and the prospect of returning home dwindles, Esmée begins to crumble under the pressure.
Voice attributes: late 20s to early 30s, soft French accent and a medium pitched voice.
We have three weeks’ worth of breathable O2 in the auxiliaries, the dome's producing at least a week of oxygen for all five of us per three days. You have to hand it to the Agency to get some prime oxygen factories all the way out here.
Callisto, and all the other moons of Jupiter, are tidally locked. That means a satellite always faces the same side toward the object it orbits. So to us, Jupiter remains in the same spot in the sky. This'll also mean we'll be in the dark for at least a week and a half, as we'll either be facing away or Jupiter will be eclipsing it.
Nothing is down there! How can there be? I mean... no, it's not possible. It just can't be. We did scans, probes... there just can't be some form of... No. It's not possible. It isn't. It isn't!
Fantastic job!!
