Motifs

Allow me to advise you, o readers, that writing authentic sounding space cop police scanner jargon really isn't as simple as it looks.

I'm working on the second audio promo for the Who Is Nemo? promotional campaign, which involved a two page scene of two orbital law enforcement officers attempting to apprehend a suspect. The scene is mostly technobabble and, despite being two pages long, I found it to be something of a slog. I'm telling you, if the characters aren't either scuzzy criminals with poor grammar or unflattering portrayals of real, unheroic people, it just ain't my strong suit.

Technobabble never exactly suited me.
