== Plot ==
10,000 years in the future, humanity is threatened by a mega ice age. Cassiopeia G. (nicknamed C.G. or "Ceeg" by her friends) is sent on the Timeflyer to find a new habitat for humanity. While in the Northern Forest, a Squibbon has stowed away on the Timeflyer, accidentally transporting C.G. to the 21st century. Once there, C.G. is greeted by three kids: Ethan, Emily, and Luis, who accompany her on her mission.
== Characters ==
Character 	Voice acter 	Character info
CG 	Ashley Peters 	The Time Flyer's captain. Her original time is 12,000 AD. She is often cautious and robotic in nature, but as she spends more time with Emily, Luis, and Ethan, she becomes more open and expressive. She is arachnophobic and may also have asthma. Her full name is Cassiopeia G., and is hinted to possibly having a romantic affinity for Luis. Both the streaks in her hair and eyes are blue. She is born with lines besides her left eye. It was suspected that her mother died before she met the crew.
Emily 	Miranda Jones 	The motherly animal lover of the crew, she tries to see the best qualities in both animals and people. She takes care of Squibbon and they both adore each other. It is hinted that she may have a particular romantic affinity for Ethan. Her eyes are green. Her full name is Emily Lonartae. She has a twin sister.
Ethan 	Marc Donato 	Ethan is adventurous and daring, and is willing to do most of the more dangerous tasks that the crew's mission provides, taking them as a challenge. Ethan often cracks jokes and teases Luis of his overly-cautious attitude. In the episode "Phantom Fear!" it is shown that he is claustrophobic. His eyes are blue. Ethan is hinted at possibly having a romantic affinity for Emily. His full name is Ethan Bolato.
Luis 	Taylor Abrahamse	Luis is arguably the smartest of the crew and prefers to stay in the ship to avoid the future's hostile environments and dangerous creatures. He often freaks out and is slightly obsessive over hygiene and germs. His full name Luis Calabasas. His eyes are brown. Luis is hinted at possibly having a romantic interest in CG.
Squibbon 	Richard Binsley 	Sometimes called Squibby. He stowed away on the TimeFlyer on CG's first mission. As shown in the episode "A Ghost in the Machine", he is much smarter than he looks. He refers to the others as his "hairy heads".
CG's father	Cedric Smith 	The father of CG who informs her of what the crew's mission objectives are in each environment. He doesn't know that Squibbon is with them, until "Sweet Home Pangaea II". It is often hinted that he doesn't approve of CG bringing Ethan, Emily, and Luis along, often calling them "primitives". Like his daughter, his eyes are blue and has lines beside his left eye.
