The play is set about 4000AD the robots Eua and Twent were made between 3000AD and 3500AD. They’re not entirely sure as some of their memories have been wiped, but they can remember back at least 500 years. For the first couple of hundred years they remember they were slaves to humans, but the humans died out largely, although it is rumored that some of them still exist in remote regions of the galaxy. Both of the robots are cylindrical and bipodic. At the time they were built computer technology had reached its peak. They were both used as space pilots to fly cargo vessels from remote locations to earth. As the humans died out the robots formed their own society, a democratic society with no war. As time progressed each robot developed its own personality Eua has an ordinary male voice and decided to develop in terms of emotions and he has gone some way to developing feelings. Twent has studied twentieth century history, Twent has decided on a female voice although she has adopted a somewhat macho attitude and in the course of the play this becomes exaggerated and she starts to think she’s a cowboy, possible slight overtones of a lesbian robot. Twent’s voice does pitch change both up and also to almost Dalek robotic sound. As most of the action is set in a vacuum background sounds should be impossible, however, in science fiction it has become customary to have sound effects. Where I have said (noise) I am referring to radio noise ie a waterfall sound, technically called white noise. I see Twents voice being processed through something that used to be called a vocoder. Background noises throughout could be of wind noises. As all comunication is by radio we could have crackles and whistles. The world they come from is called Cyrus Minor it’s the nearest star to our solar system. Twent is mostly interested in facts although she does have a tendency to free associate. Twent sometimes sings using her own voice and sometimes this goes into her playing back the original sound from her memory.
