Thirst
Joelvn for Dr. Carlson
DR. CARLSON
Male, 38-58, any ethnicity. A brilliant scientist, nerdy and charming, his warmth can turn on a dime. He is Karn’s primary father figure. His parental love of the girl conflicts with his academic and professional interest in her as an experiment.
A machine finishes making a cup of coffee. EON, Electronic Observation Network, Alexa’s great granddaughter pipes up.
EON

Ugh. Why do you always thank him? He’s not a person. He’s not even a robot.
DR. CARLSON
Why do you call Eon him? Eon are you male?
EON
Yes or no. It makes no difference to me.
Carlson starts to poor the cup of coffee.
