Character QnA: Kassandra

Host: Kassandra is a contractor for the Department of Defense, and her speciality is in cyber security and artificial intelligence. Thank you for being her today, Kassandra.

Kassandra: Thank you for having me.

Host: I’ve asked all of our guests this same question. What is the scariest experience that you have had?

Kassandra: Non-classified?

Host: Anything that you can share.

Kassandra: Um… I can’t, I mean… how about this. When I was a child, there was a gunfight in the apartment next us, and parts of the wall exploded.

Host: Oh dear, I hope no one was hurt.

Kassandra: Just the bad guys.

Host: This may tie in to your first answers, but what is the craziest thing that you have done?

Kassandra: The craziest thing? Well, the real answer is definitely classified. Sorry.

Host: Anything for the audience?

Kassandra: Base jumping from El Capitan? Opps, maybe I shouldn’t have said that.

Host: You can always edit this for security clearances later.

Kassandra: It’s fine.

Host: Moving on. Who are the most important people in your life?

Kassandra: You understand, I have to be careful, right?

Host: Be as cautious as you need.

Kassandra: Family, right? Family is important to everyone.

Host: Fair enough. Next question. What is your dream job?

Kassandra: (laughing) Dream job? I don’t know, I think I would like to be a writer in another life.

Host: What would you write about?

Kassandra: Oh, I don’t know, they say, write what you know. Maybe I’ll write about flowers, or recipes, or killer robots.

Host: If you could have dinner with any person, dead or alive, fact or fiction, who would it be?

Kassandra: The real answer is classified. If you want the supplemental safe answer, then I’d say, oh… Bob Ross. Why not. Eat some fine cuisine. Paint some pictures. Sounds like a great date.

Host: Finally, who do you admire?

Kassandra: Teachers. They are my heroes.
