GATE: A Sky Full of Fire - Episode 1
Gerianne for DR. CAROL DAWSON
DR. CAROL DAWSON
DR. CAROL DAWSON - A NASA Researcher.
Carol is enthusiastic about aerospace technology and communicating that enthusiasm to others is her passion.
This hides a degree of arrogance about how much better technology is, and naivete about the fact that not everyone wants to use technology for peaceful or inspirational means.
On a deeper level, this also hides an unfulfilled need for personal connection.
THIS IS A RECURRING LONG TERM ROLE. THIS CHARACTER IS ABSENT DURING THE SECOND PART OF THE SERIES, THEN RETURNS DURING THE THIRD AND FOURTH.

That white part at the top, the fairing, can be up to another fifty feet long, but we're using a slightly shorter one for Thursday's launch."
"So, if astronauts were flying on this rocket, they'd go at the top, up there," Carol said, pointing. "In fact, Boeing plans to start flying people on Atlas V in a few years, and they'll all be launching from the pad behind us. If you look back over there…"
"Only what they put on CNN, I missed the live broadcast of those girls they brought to Japan a few weeks back, but I watched a shorter version of it later. Aside from that, there was some special that aired last week on NHK and was translated for 60 Minutes where they showed some of the stuff on the other side… I wasn't really paying attention because I was prepping for a conference on GOES-R... Why?"
