FAN TRIBUTE ANIMATION
Douglas Grosser for Commander Julius Root
A gruff military man who takes no buts for an answer. He can command a whole room with one look, and is highly respected in his field. He is the definition of a man who tightly holds onto his feelings without letting anyone know how he feels. That is, unless he is to show off how angry he could get. His mind is always on the task at hand and will do anything to protect his People.
Don’t insult me with your excuses! You know what the city center is like! Get up a few minutes earlier! (Beat) I know what you’re thinking. Why am I picking on you every day? Why don’t I ever bawl out those other layabouts? Well I’ll tell you why, Short, it's because you’re a girl.
But not for the reasons you think. You’re the first girl in Recon. Ever. You are a test case. There are a million fairies out there watching your every move. There are a lot of hopes riding on you. But...there is a lot of prejudice against you too. The future of law enforcement is in your hands. And at the moment, I’d say it was a little heavy.
I can and I will. Why shouldn’t I? You have never given me your best; either that or your best isn’t good enough. Sorry, Short. You had your chance...
