The time is five hundred years in the future. Mankind has voyaged far into space,
having mastered faster than light travel through the use of wormholes.
Once out of their own solar system they discovered that the galaxy was full of
many alien races -- some friendly and others not. Alliances were formed and
a great galactic civilization centered on cooperation. Yet, mankind had not forgotten
about its past -- especially since Earth itself was almost destroyed before humans
came to their senses.
In order to atone for the devastation and perhaps prevent it from happening in
the future the Galactic Confederation created the Zooship Gaia. It is a huge
starship easily the size of a modern city completely designed and operated as a zoo.
Gaia's mission is simple: to voyage through the galaxy, to fight environmental disasters
wherever they occur, to save endangered species, and to promote conservation and good will
throughout the Confederation.

Audition deadline - Friday August 15
LEAD MALE ROLES
Lt. Borask
Age: adult alien
Low, deep bass rock monster voice. Do your best.
Bio: A large member of the Kindoran race. The Kindorans are ten to twelve
feet tall with skin the consistency, strength, and texture of rock.
They eat different types of rocks and possess immense strength.
He is one of his race's chief security specialists and has been attached
to the Gaia as Security Chief in an ambassadorial effort to promote goodwill
between his species and the Confederation. He is not the best ambassador,
however, since he has no skills at diplomacy and is a man of few words in general.
Audition line 1: She is your Captain, Human, keep your glands in check
before I have to save you when she tries to remove them.
Audition line 2: Yes, Captain. We await only GAIA's awakening and your orders
before we get underway.
Dr. Squijert Filigort
Age: adult alien
Give me your best impression of a good bug voice. He has complex mandibles and would be very clicky.
Bio: He is a member of an insectoid race called the Zeem and the Head Vetrinarian.
They are much like grasshoppers in the fact that they have incredible jumping abilities
and are vegetarian. They possess six complex eyes set in the center of their mantis
like head that enable them to see in incredible detail both far away and very close up.
They posess six arms in addition to the jumping legs and each arm has a hand that has
fingers that have tips that can extend quite far in order to do delicate work in small places.
Squijert also is extremely strong, his top set of arms being much like praying mantis arms.
He possesses a set of iridescent green wings on his back that enables him to fight and an
extended abdomen with a stinger much like that of a wasp.
Audition line 1: In the case of the flora they are mainly gathering as many samples of seeds
as they can in stockpiles for easy loading.
Audition line 2: Also, they are gathering as much genetic material from every species
that they come across and storing it in stasis. Each sample can be used for cloning purposes. We should do the same.
ZT-39V3 "Zeets"
Age: n/a
Robotic but with a lot of character to it
Bio: Chief Engineer of Gaia. He possesses the entire engineering library of the Confederation
as well as eight arms designed for specific engineering tasks and moves about using an anti-gravity
generator to float above the floor. Zeet was designed specifically for the Gaia and interfaces
extremely well with the main computer. An eccentric robot he is always modifying and upgrading
himself with new gadgets and abilities -- not always to the best effect.
Audition line 1: I'll do my best. I look forward to working with the beautiful GAIA.
Audition line 2: Certainly! The epitome of mechanical engineering with a voice like the purr
of the finest engine, and a form of such grace and efficiency that it could make any sentient
mechanoid fall apart out of ecstasy!
Lt. Andre Anjou
Age: 26
Heavy French accent, dandy, romantic woman chaser. Pretty much a D'Artagnan.
Bio: Helmsman. Born and raised in Gascogne in what was once France he read the classic book
The Three Musketeers and fell in love with it. He fancies himself a romantic type hero who
is very good with the ladies -- a modern day Musketeer -- devoted to Captain and Confederation,
always willing to brave danger in the name of duty (and beautiful ladies).
Audition line 1: And she is said to be beautiful!
Audition line 2: Sacre bleu! The robot is a romantic! I must remember that line!

South African, no nonsense, professional

of the Galactic Confederation after going through Medical school. She specializes in xenomedical
research and requested the post on the Gaia as a way to meet and study the different diseases
that plague different alien species, knowing that the Gaia is at the vanguard of the
Confederation's exploration efforts. She is tough, no nonsense, get the job done, and to
hell with the niceties.
Audition line 1: Most of the evacuation efforts have already been completed.
Audition line 2: Those who are left... are mainly specialists who are even now caging pets and doing their best to secure in stasis samples of the local ecology.
Lt. Commander Desdemona Xanthaxis
Age: 30s
Ethereal, wise, intelligent female "old soul" though not old in body.
Bio: Desdemona is the Science Officer and a member of the Thylora race, a race of people totally
devoted to the pursuit of science and knowledge. The Thylora are the supreme scientists of
the galaxy and offered one of their very best to the Gaia in the name of diplomacy.
Audition line 1: We are going to have to keep our shields up at all times if we want to avoid
any permanent damage.
Audition line 2: It shall be interesting to meet her. She is well-known -- a good Captain, if
a bit unconventional.
GAIA
Age: 30s
Non-robotic. Female, unseasoned, a bit naive and innocent yet not excessively hyper.
Bio: The ship itself is sentient via the ship's main computer. She is the most advanced robotic
intelligence in known creation. She can learn, express herself via the arts, has emotions,
and is in every way a person. She's just a person who happens to be a huge Zooship.
Sh's very young, however, having only just woken up for the first time when the Zooship was
finally completed. Therefore, she is learning, growing, and stretching her capabilities.

fluent in the various languages it hears in remarkable time and actually retain the
language over time.
