Beyond the Dark Production - ‘The Strata’ - Chapter 4 | Original audio drama
Mike Badgley for Alvarez
Alvarez is an experienced and sensible captain of a deep space freighter. He is responsible for commanding a crew of around ten people on long haul flights to distant regions of space. These journeys can take weeks and with little entertainment on board crewmembers will often clash, especially when there are strong personalities in play. Alvarez runs a tight ship and although he tries to be accommodating, he does not tolerate insubordination and will act to discipline crewmembers if things start to get out of hand. He has a friendly, albeit businesslike manner and likes to get to know his subordinates on a personal basis in order to establish a rapport. All the same, he knows not to get too close to them and will usually refrain from participating in leisure activities when they occur.
Voice is medium to low pitch.
Pronunciations:
MacGavin - mack-GAV-in
(Businesslike as he addresses prospective crewmembers who are preparing for evaluation) “This is my operational overseer, MacGavin. He’ll run you through a few scenarios, test your skills. Is that okay with you?”
(In a personal moment tells a crewmember about his past and how he escaped the slums of Dockerton) “I was one of the lucky ones, I guess. Came into an inheritance and moved to Highgate City with my family. Got into a good school and never looked back from there. I still have some friends in Dockerton, but... can’t say I’ve been there in a long time.”
(Urgent, breathless as an emergency situation unfolds) “Emily! What’s going on? I can’t reach anyone on comms. Has anyone seen Slayton? We need to make sure our nav hasn’t been sent out of alignment.”
Thank you, much appreciated!
Always a pleasure to see what you are putting out. Looks like a great cast has been assembled!
