MEI’S TEAM
The six staff members at Ecopoint: Antarctica were a researcher named Adams, a climatologist named Arrhenius, an engineer named MacReady, a cryonicist named Opara, another cryonicist named Torres, and finally the character we all know and love, Mei. Not much is known about Mei’s fellow researches, however on their cyro-pods we are able to see their countries of origins with Adams and MacReady from the U.S., Arrhenius from Sweden, Opara from Numbani, and Torres from Spain.
In the short, Mei refers to Opara as the captain, and we get a torso glimpse of a fellow researcher, however it is never specified exactly which member he is. He does cutely ask Snowball to give him his socks back though.
We did get a first look at what the team looks like in this short from a group photo displayed beside one of the computer monitors. There’s no real way to tell who is who, but it’s still nice to know their faces rather than just their names on the outside of their malfunctioning pods. At the end of the short Mei places each of their mugs on their platforms, and here’s hoping the map is updated to include this as well.
