rcohare for MacGavin
MacGavin is an experienced technician aboard a deep space freighter. He is responsible for maintenance and repairs aboard the ship Kotona. This is a somewhat daunting task considering the age of the vessel and MacGavin therefore usually has at least one subordinate to assist with the work. It’s an unglamorous vocation but MacGavin enjoys working with his hands and travelling to the far reaches of space and he has never once considered giving it away. He is good natured and amiable when dealing with others, but he sets high standards and does not tolerate substandard workmanship. He knows that in the emptiness of deep space there are no second chances and a poorly maintained ship can be a threat to the lives of everyone on board.
Voice is medium to low pitch with a rough edge to it.
(Advising the captain about some new recruits that he has just finished assessing) “Well, they’re not bad. They’ve got a firm hold of the basics, I’ll give them that. Power alignment and component matching is good. But neither has a clue about anything above a Class Five engine.”
(Advising the captain about a new recruit who has excellent credentials, but who MacGavin suspects might be a drug user - something that MacGavin has no tolerance for) “That guy? Well, he’s worked on everything, best as I can tell. Over a decade of experience, even has some Class Nine under his belt. But he zoned out right after the test. Real sudden. Think he might be on something.”
(With a note of concern as an emergency situation arises) “Looks like a power issue down in Delta Storage. I’ll go and take a look. One of you meet me there ASAP, huh?”
Love these auditions, thanks Ray!
