ROOKIE - ANIMATED PILOT
GrayLierre for Senior Cabrera
Late 40’s, stern and composed- Senior is a calculated veteran of the hive, having destroyed and eradicated life on over 5 planets prior to his arrival on earth. These planets contained stone-age scale life, leading Senior to be affirmed in Hive doctrine of evolutionary superiority and intellect. Senior has a pragmatic and analytical approach to almost everything he does, and tries to rationalize everything he sees to fit his frame of perception. Senior is a prideful and intelligent individual who takes joy in strategy games like chess, battle tactics in war, spending time with his son, Rookie, and eating food from all different human cultures.
Senior despite his mission, finds time to connect with Rookie if he wants to spend time with him somewhere outside the city. Senior particularly finds a fascination in ancient mythology and religious stories about creatures that sound familiar to him, and seeks to uncover if those myths were from the minds of brilliant, creative humans/ spiritual beliefs, or if they are something more… familiar to Senior from beyond the planet. Senior works as a Geneticist at a prestigious lab called “DNA” that focuses on genetically enhancing humans.

(Cooks Rookie breakfast) A perfect meal for a perfect boy. (Rookie says he wanted to cook) (chuckles) Too slow, Rookie. Now come eat. I made it to your liking. (Senior spots Rookies makeup while eating) … You do know boys your age can have clear skin, right? (Rookie doth protest too much) Mhm… and it’s certainly not you refusing to throw out your little makeup kit upstairs? You’ve had that thing since you started elementary education- (Flustered protesting Rookie) (Chuckles) Fine, you can keep your makeup. I won’t judge my ‘little apples’ interests.
(Senior and Rookie Breakfast spreading toast.) - (Rookie says vegemite is gross) Mhm. And your ‘blended nut paste’ is much better? (Rookie defends peanut butter so Senior confident reads off the label of Vegemite) (chuckles) significantly less sugar, rich in B vitamins and contains essential nutrients like folate, niacin, and riboflavin- (Rookie mentions the salt content) ...Let's agree-to-agree that I'm right. Now- eat. (Rookie leaves for college) Hm… now what to do with my day off… (Later Enki arrives at the door) (tense, faux politeness) Ah, Enki. If you’re looking for Rookie he’s- (Enki is confrontational) …care for some tea? I’ll explain. (declined by Enki) Ah, please… I insist you let me explain. ...Just stop talking and get in.
Adlib!
