Roles
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Lead | Bruce | Male 35 - 60 Years old |
Description An eccentric, abnormally intelligent man whose pursuit of spiritual transcendence through technology has become an all-consuming obsession. Bruce is the visionary leader of a small meditation group attempting to synchronize their brainwaves into a collective consciousness through custom-built biometric audio equipment. Secretive in nature, self-absorbed, with an authoritarian streak, he nevertheless believes his ambitions serve the greater good. Frustrated by the group’s repeated failures to achieve transcendence, Bruce becomes desperate to break through their limitations and is willing to risk everything and everyone to do it. He is the embodiment of the pioneer spirit. | ||
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Lead | Virgo | Female 50 - 70 Years old |
Description Virgo is disciplined and compassionate, her unwavering convictions giving her an air of maternal authority. She is a member of a small group conducting an experimental form of meditation using audio technology to synchronize their brainwaves into a collective consciousness. A stabilizing presence for the group, and their natural, though unofficial, leader, she is patient and protective, possessing a stubborn faith in the spiritually transformative power of perseverance and stability. Though generally composed and compassionate, she can be uncompromising when her principles are challenged, even to the group’s detriment. Increasingly at odds with Bruce, the group’s official leader, and his plans for them, Virgo struggles to maintain the integrity of their mission to avoid catastrophe. Virgo is the embodiment of discipline and perseverance. | ||

| Lead | Karol | Male 45 - 65 Years old |
Description A no-nonsense, calculating man whose scientific rigour is fueled by a deep mystical yearning. Karol is the data collector and analyser for an experimental mediation group attempting to synchronize their brainwaves into a collective consciousness using an elaborate system of electronic instruments and audio technology. Methodical and mechanically inclined, he is more comfortable interpreting data and fixing technical issues than navigating emotions. He is a searcher, looking for patterns that reveal the inner workings of the mind. He is the embodiment of intellectual observation, measurement, and analysis. | ||

| Lead | Julia | Female 20 - 35 Years old |
Description A clairvoyant, highly perceptive woman with an unusual sensitivity to energies beyond ordinary consciousness. Julia is the youngest member of an experimental mediation group attempting to synchronize their brainwaves into a collective consciousness using audio technology. Prone to visions and seemingly prophetic intuitions, she comes across as passive within the group’s dynamic but she is just on a different wavelength. When their experimental meditation session is invaded by an alien presence, she is the first to experience its devastating effects since her heightened sensitivity makes her especially vulnerable, but also turns her into a warning beacon for the others. She is the embodiment of intuition and resistance. | ||
