Season 1 finale! And it’s so big that we had to split it in two! We’re wrapping it up and bringing it all together. Lara Ash Pure Saud and Miguel talk about what is still missing and how to fill those gaps. There are some critical choices to be made (no not merchandising). So no nuts and bolts this time. The storyline needs visual continuity. But does it need flashbacks? How do the characters actually meet each other? And of course, finally naming things.

Lara Ash Pure Saud and Miguel come together again and with their powers combined they form SPECTRA! First up is logistics or nuts and bolts as they like to call it. Second is the mechanics of the worlds. After that it’s all about the characters and finally the quarttet tries to connect the dots of the first story arc. Of course, they can’t restrain themselves and already come up with ideas for future story lines. Also we like each others voices.

Four people! In one room! Lara Ash Pure Saud and Miguel join forces to put more details to the first installation of SPECTRA. How do the people get from A to B. Which spaces, rooms, locations are needed? How do the characters interact? Things need to be named, like a spaceship. On a long term level, should there be a cosmic wide threat and if so, what could that be? How could it manifest?

The nuts and bolts issue. SPECTRA regulars Saud, Ash Pure and Miguel get to the nitty-gritty of what actually needs to be done to get the open-source sci-fi adventure series produced. Creating universes, worlds, characters and stories is thrilling, exciting and fun but what needs to be done to get it all out there? SPECTRA is a multimedia project, a hypertextual thing. There’s is the podcast, but which formats should be used to present it all? Prose, radio play, comics, animation, games? How to we get people in and create with and without us? There’s a lot to do and someone’s gotta do it.

This time Miguel creates two new characters for SPECTRA: A Daoist higher intelligence in a robotic shell and a force field wielding shieldmaiden. Did someone say “Techno Viking”!? Bringing in more diversity, representation but at the same time contrasting expectations and stereotypes is a tricky thing.

Together with Ash Pure and Saud the conversation also is about inspirations like Neil Gaiman’s “American Gods”. But, the dangers of the writer’s room and getting lost in chatting about influences too much are there, too. Saud brings in the aspect of getting in secondary characters.
