We don't usually boast about our students but to give you an idea of how the combination of good skills, talent and teamwork make for excellent results, we'd like to tell you about our top team - known internally as The Moonridge 5.  They all come from very different backgrounds both culturally and geographically and they all have different skill-sets and highly individual personalities.  They are 14 years old.

Carl
Space-born

Carl's parents are Celebrity Space Specialists who sent Carl to Moonridge so they could go off and have fantastic adventures without having to worry about their son. At least, that's how Carl sees it. He sees them more often on the Lunavision News than in person which makes him angry. Carl inherited his parents' love of planetary adventures and consequently takes a lot of risks despite having a third
sense about the dangers in space.
He's one of the best rocket pilots and his favourite thing is Primeval Planet Camping. He's not used to sitting in classrooms and is often disruptive in class.
Carl's one of the cutest guys in school.

Sam
Lunan

Sam is shy but she's also a natural leader and knows how to get the team out of a fix when nobody can think straight. It's a good thing she's so modest and quiet as she can't even begin to compete with her best friend Fay who is loud and brags constantly about her achievements.
Having been born on the Moon, she's very comfortable with reduced gravity and is a pro at handling the Exoskel which she loves and which makes her lose all her inhibitions.
She hates Terraforming or any sort of meddling with a planet's original state. She finds Duke
irresistible though she'd never admit it..

No
Deltan Terran

No is half Alien and half Terran. His adoptive parents sent him to Moonridge so he could be with kids from different planets and it wouldn't matter that he was the only
student with alien blood. He's calm and thoughtful but unusually headstrong and has supernatural mental powers which he can't control as well as wild hair with a
mind of its own.
No doesn't get Terran humour and his attempts at making jokes are amusing in their uselessness. He can communicate with aliens verbally and telepathically but avoids it as he wants to seem 100% Terran. His problem is that he needs to know why he's so different and he'll never know until he finds out who his
biological parents are.
No's best friend is Carl. He loves hearing about how Carl's parents captured Terrators in the olden days when there was so little technology.

Duke
Terran

Duke is Indonesian but he grew up on the Moon. He is fearless, wild and unpredictable. Catching a buzz is more important to him than completing a school assignment so he often forgets the objective and gets caught up in the action. He loves dangerous situations and when left to his own
devices things often get out of control. His favourite
activities are Exoskel Technology and Solar Surfing. He's
into technological tinkering and enjoys hacking the Lunarnet.
Duke wants to be free, to choose his own path and not be
told what to do. It's a hard lesson to learn but he soon
discovers that you can't always go it alone.
