Beyond the Dark Episode 9 | Original audio drama
Saoirse Connolly for Arayah
Arayah is the protagonist and narrator of the story. She has made some poor decisions in the past and subsequently lost friends and also respect for herself. She has now taken a job on a deep space freighter, as far away from her old life as she can get. However, despite her flaws, Arayah has a strong sense of right and wrong. There is a part of her that desperately wants to make her life better and dig herself out of this hole she’s found herself in. She just lacks the belief in herself to do it. Even so, the strength is there, even if she doesn’t realise it yet. It’s just waiting for the right moment to come to the surface.
Voice type is medium or low pitch.
(Narrated, pensive, tinged with sorrow as she thinks about the mess she's made of her life) They say there’s no place quite like the void to forget your past. Out here in deep space, the cosmos is laid bare - a billion pinpoints of light suspended in the black, but not much else. Some who come here are running from the law, others just have nothing left to lose. But me? I came to escape all the bad choices and the failures I made back home, hoping they would fall away against the nothingness.
(Somewhat scornful after her crewmate gets trigger happy) “Maybe you should have asked that question before you blew its head off.”
(Perplexed as she encounters something she's never seen before) “No. It looks like it’s been scratched off. I’ve never seen anything like it.”
