CAPTAIN 32

DALIA 9

SUMMERS 7
FEMALE ROLES:
DR. REBECCA FLORES
Ship’s doctor. Overworked and furiously attempting to find a solution to the problem affecting the crew.
LINE 1: No it's not. It's not. That was cabin fever. This shared psychosis is different. I have done every possible test and scan we have. There is nothing on the Odyssey that could cause these symptoms.
LINE 2: It's just... the last test I ran came up empty. (to herself) Which doesn't make sense. (to Captain) But I'm close. I know it.
LINE 3: Too early to tell. This...whatever "this" is....is doing things I've never seen before. (confidently) I'll have something soon, though. That's a promise.
DALIA
Competent spaceship crew member who’s staying calm in the face of disaster.
LINE 1: Ugh, no, sir. Summers is...well he's freaking out. Ranting about spiders in the hull.
LINE 2: We believe you. Just calm down, Summers. There's no need for any violence.
MALE ROLES:
CAPTAIN
Spaceship captain who clearly has everything under control. Or he wishes he did, anyway.
LINE 1: I've been on 8 runs with these guys. I can't believe folks like this would just lose it. (then) Is there a long-term risk here without treatment, Doc?
LINE 2: Drop that weapon, Chief. That's an order.
RICK
Possibly the only person who knows what’s actually happening on this spaceship. He’s willing to provide information, but it comes with a helping of sarcasm and sneering.
LINE 1: With all due respect, doc, you need to turn this ship around. (suggestively) Or...
LINE 2: (mockingly) I wonder what you're missing.
LINE 3: Why don't you tell him, doc? What he already knows?
SUMMERS
Spaceship crew member who’s become unhinged.
LINE 1: If we do not turn this damn ship around, I swear to God I will use this. I'm not bluffing.
LINE 2: I told you, and you won't do the one easy damn thing I've asked you to. We shouldn't be near this star system, Captain.
ANY GENDER ROLES:
VISITOR
A rather optimistic and perky person even though the world is about to end.
LINE 1: What else can it be! Man, lighten up a little. I’m not dumb, I know death is barrelling down at us at the speed of light from the depths of space, but I’m not going to go out frowning, or hungry.
LINE 2: You can’t just hint at understanding, then hide behind being mopey. Besides you look like it’d do you good to talk a bit. So let’s do this. I got my popcorn; I’m happy.
PROFESSOR
A knowledgeable person who, unfortunately, knows exactly what’s going on and isn’t happy about it.
LINE 1: Just go back to your friends, I’m not sure what you are looking for but it’s not up here.
LINE 2: It’s 99.9% the speed of light. Well, it’s an even smaller gap than that, but we literally don’t have the time for me to count the nines.
LINE 3: Alright, thanks. I really appreciate it to be honest. I’m scared out of my mind right now. *deep breath* So, the universe is this mesh that vibrates. The energy level it vibrates at determines the particles in that space, but even a vacuum has a vibration.
