Beyond the Dark Productions - ‘The Strata’ - Chapter 8 | Original audio drama
Justin R Natale for Major Kaddick
Major Kaddick is a high-ranking soldier in the group known as Miliconn - a branch of armed forces that is called upon in times of unrest in The Strata. He is disciplined, uncompromising, dutiful, and does not tolerate insubordination. Having been deployed in many skirmishes both off-world and in The Strata, Kaddick is battle hardened. There is very little he hasn’t seen over his decades of service, and his record is impeccable despite the many hardships he has encountered. With such a high degree of loyalty, Kaddick has been known to place more importance on the name and reputation of Miliconn than in civilian lives, and will sacrifice the innocent to uphold his duty if necessary. Kaddick expects the same attitude from those who serve beneath him and will quickly weed out weak-minded soldiers from his ranks. His delivery is somewhat gruff and hard-edged.
(Impatient, barking at a subordinate) “What’s going on here, soldier? Get this idiot out of my checkpoint.”
(Fondly recalling an old memory from a retirement party many years ago) “The boys wanted to give him a bottle of Moon Tears as a going away gift, but there were none available at short notice. The owner put in a phone call, and not long after you walked in with a bottle under your arm and handed it to old man Kurtz yourself - to a standing ovation, I might add.”
(Calmly confronting several witnesses after a major incident has taken place) “Listen, I’ll need the two of you to stay here. You’ll be taken for a full debrief. I’d like to hear about what happened from the perspective of someone who was on the inside. But for now, I have to keep moving. Stay safe, won’t you?”
