Moderate Voice Lines (under 10 finished minutes)

This character should come across as described above. She's a family medicine doctor, a chemist, and a vigilante who breaks into government military facilities in order to save prisoners of war. She also works for the "CC", a mysterious organization in charge of lawmaking and enforcement for much of the universe, but despite this, seems to not really care about what the emperor is doing in the empire she lives in. She does her best to collect evidence of what's happening in these government facilities only to be shut down and brushed off time and time again by her higher-ups, especially her manager Mr. Kelpicant. When news breaks that the emperor is dead, she is enraged, believing he got the easy way out. She's immediately called by her boss, at the breaking of the news, and is nagged at by him over the phone, to which she explodes at him. These lines will reflect this conversation. Alex is an incredibly intelligent and hard working person. She should come across as intimidating, knowledgeable, but also a little naive in the sense that she thought her organization would really help after so long of not doing anything. She feels defeated, believing that her hope stems from stupidity.

Line Context/Acting Help:
1. This line should come across as very intimidating and mostly serious, with a twinge of personality, as her word choice is definitely interesting. The first question should come through with a shaky voice that's almost in disbelief. It should start out monotone, but start to pick up emotional momentum as this line progresses. These lines should be performed with a mix of her normal monotone voice, and her only other expression, which seems to be anger. The performance doesn't have to be entirely overly-serious. Please feel free to add more character and humanize these lines.
2. She should flip flop here between a slightly monotone disbelief and then a sudden surge of anger. Keep in mind, she's arguing on the phone with someone who's supposed to be her boss, and this is one of many times she's letting loose on him. While the subject matter she's talking about is serious, there should be a human element to this performance making it believable and entertaining to watch.
3. This is a more comedic line, but should be read in the angriest voice yet. Her boss is literally an anthropomorphic dolphin in a suit.
