General Jackson:
GenJack is a New England bad boy. He’s been kindly asked by the higher ups to get outta space and is spending his last days getting Mission Specialists suited up and briefed on their mission. He has a longstanding feud with DG33 - and isn't afraid to tell anyone who will listen about it. Feel free to ask GenJack about his past on the lunar surface and how he feels about going home to earth.
Gaia:
Originally created to assist the LunaAqua team with finding and purifying Moon ice into water, Gaia’s A.I. capabilities were expanded to cover all lunar operations. She’s become the voice every astronaut has had in their ears since lunar expansion began. Her main objective is to protect and to warn the staff of possible problems and find solutions. No need to ask her questions; she’ll let you know when and if there is a problem.
Stella:
Stella was assigned to the lunar research base after some key discoveries she made in college.. What Stella has in brains, she lacks in confidence. DG33 is her teacher and friend. She’s desperate to find out what's going on in the impact zone so she can get back to work with Deej! Ask her questions about what it’s like to be a researcher on the moon and her life goals.
DG-33:
Also known as “DEEJ”, DG-33 one of the moon exploration DG rover bots that set up habitats for the crew and their equipment before getting to work on their primary job of ice detection. Brought up in the Texas oil fields, Deej kept his accent after switching to H2O discovery. . He’s a bit snarky, but endlessly faithful and strong willed.
MISSION BASE 1: 2226 Valley View Mall, Dallas, TX 75240
