Mak, Bill, Paul, Dave and their Office Goddess, Natasha, find that their first Casual Friday Party at Gorilla Audioworks is a bit more than it seems…especially when the fabric of time somehow gets all knotted up. Our interpid audio execs’ only hope to save the universe — and the Guinness — is to enlist the help of the Princess of the Pantheon Extrordinaire, MJ Cogburn, to help “Quantum Leap” them out of this loop of causal chaos before it’s too late.
Discover the secrets of Gorilla Audio’s script review process and see who finally wins a coveted spot in their ongoing repetoire. The girls have finally returned from purchasing portions of Milan’s shoe industry and Mak gets “rowdy” as he “rocks” out in anticipation of a new role as a professional wrestler. This episode guest stars Eric Busby, Amanda Fitzwater and Damaris Mannering.
Dear listeners,
Please, allow us to introduce ourselves. I’m Fiona Conn, and my co-producer is Shire Smith. We’re the creative minds behind Archimedes.
The idea for Archimedes came about towards the end of the Section 31 Files audio produced by Eric Busby over at Darker Projects. The ending had disappointed me (though I won’t give away the hows and whys here – you can listen to it for yourselves ;).) Not long after, I had joined A Call to Duty (ACTD), a role-playing group. One of their departments was a Star Trek role-play. Players start out as cadets, assigned to trainers who take you through the rules, format and etiquette of the game over the course of four weeks.
I had been talking to Shire about my disappointment in S31 and my excitement at joining ACTD, and she suggested doing an audio series based around the Academy. So, Archimedes was born.
The idea behind Archimedes was that the Cadets would be assigned to a ship for two years in order to conclude their training. (Which, in hindsight, seems almost an exaggerated version of the ACTD training.) Ultimately, our goal is to show the Cadets growing up through their experiences on board the Archimedes, becoming adults in their own right, before finally graduating at the end.
Shire created a fantastic opening credits credo to replace the rather S31-esque one that I had come up with. The more I listen to it, the more I find myself agreeing with and believing in what she wrote: “we walk in the shadows of those who came before us; the legends who upheld the ideals of the Federation.” That line is truer than you can possibly imagine. Just like our Cadets, Shire and myself are walking in the footsteps – and shadows – of the Star Trek producers who came before us. Their creations – Section 31, Hidden Frontier, Intrepid, many other fan films and series, and even the originals – are themselves legends who upheld the ideals of the United Federation of Planets. Archimedes is our beginning.
Additionally, the support we received was just absolutely phenomenal. The adults in our lives believed in us, encouraging, helping and even providing for us. I want to personally express how grateful I am. It hasn’t, by any means, been easy – but nothing worth doing ever is. A huge “Thank You!” goes out to everyone who helped to get Archimedes airborne, nonetheless.
We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we’ve enjoyed writing and producing it.
~Fiona Conn.
Hey, all! I’m Shire Smith, co-producer for Fiona Conn’s Archimedes.
Archimedes is basically the story of where the great captains we’ve come to admire got their start. The span of the show will cover the cadet’s shared adventures and experiences, ending with their graduation (and hopefully their commissions).
I think somebody said, “it’s not the destination, but how you reach it.” That’ll be a big theme in our production. So, sit back and enjoy listening to our cadets as they learn more about themselves and their lot in life.
Thanks a lot!
Off an out for now,
