Assignment 2 - Expand upon your ideas

We've got a great list of ideas for scenes, this is a great place to start.  So now lets take some time to fill in the different things that are needed to make those scenes happen, characters.  All kinds of different people are needed to make a scene successful and sometimes it is the minor "one shot" or "throw away" characters that really make a scene shine and really give a piece of fiction depth.

Pick a scene idea from the list generated by Assignment 1, create basic character concepts (minimum 3) for minor characters that might appear in that scene.  Include actions that they might take during the scene.

Example:

Scene: A Problem occurs while a space ship is docking

1) Space Station Traffic Controller - Following station emergency action policies, managing space traffic, keeping other space craft away from the problem area.

2) Station Docking Engineer - working with the crew of the effected ship in order to get the ship safely docked, take steps to minimize the damage to the station

3) Station Security Officer - Evacuate threatened areas of the station, take actions to mitigate panic among station population

4) Captain of Ship in Neighboring Berth - Contact station operations staff, demand answers for why his ship has been put in jeopardy because of the actions of others, worries that some accident will expose the contraband cargo he carries on board.
