[[folder: Captain Robert Everton]]
--> Played by Creator/DonaldSutherland
* TheCynic: He definitely comes across this way. He has a photo of himself as a younger man (who was full of hope and ambition) in his office, and he tells his younger self he's sorry for letting him down when his cargo sank. This may partially be the reason for his SanitySlippage.
* DrivenToSuicide: He contemplates suicide just before finding the Russian ship.

[[folder: Nadia Vinogradova]]
--> Played by Creator/JoannaPacula
* ActionGirl: She definitely has her moments. There's also the fact that she had survived for a whole week in the ship fighting against the machines.
