The CEO of Intersol Industries and Director of Disassembly Operations on Copper 9. James was a minor character in the original show, but he's been expanded into one of the major antagonists of this iteration. His role in Overture is small, but his presence is felt through the Disassembly Drones and he's behind the entire operation to wipe out the Worker Drones.

To describe James's voice in a handful of words: cold, detached, rigid, and unempathetic. The nature of his work has eroded his compassion. He doesn't see drones as people. They're no different than machines, which is why he insists on calling it "disassembly," not murder. His logic is that you can't murder a machine because machines aren't alive. He won't consider any other viewpoint.

For additional options, one can try an Australian accent or a regular American accent. Accents are optional, not required.

CONTEXT: 

• Line 1: James has been informed that Team 2 has gone dark and aren't responding to hails. He tasks Ridley with contacting Team 4 to have them investigate what happened. Something is going on, he doesn't know, and he doesn't like not knowing.
• Line 2: James is speaking to L directly, informing him of the situation and what their new mission is. Team 4 is closest and has the best track record, so it's only logical to assign them this task.
• Line 3: L has informed James that they're already on their way to deal with a worker settlement. Understanding, James is willing to let them to finish that, but makes sure they know to head out immediately after they're done.
