The colony doctor and Thad's father. His name is literally Doc because everyone called him that for his job, and it grew on him. He likes the idea of people saying his name and immediately being assured. He once was a medical drone who serviced humans, but has since tailored his expertise to repair and maintain the drones of Colony 31. He often clashes with Audrey's work ethic, prescribing her mandatory time off that she treats as torture.

A supporting character. Doc is another original character for this project. He's laid-back, chill, and friendly. He understands the importance of good bedside manners when treating patients. Some might call him a mix of a hippie and doctor. I'd imagine RJ from Jungle Fury as a good frame of reference, a character who is laid back, but very competent at what he does.

CONTEXT:

• Line 1: Doc has found Audrey working herself to the bone. Again. This is a recurring trend with Audrey, and Doc is getting close to recommending mandatory time off. As much as he admires Audrey's work ethic, he doesn't want her overworking herself. She has to care for herself or she won't be any help to the colony.
• Line 2: Doc is arguing with Thad about his willingness to accompany Khan outside to look for Uzi. This is legitimate parental concern. Imagine if you were a parent and your kid wanted to go out into a hostile environment to search for their friend. You'd be against the idea and stress your point. Doc is a supportive parent, but he has his limits.
• Line 3: Audrey has attempted to invoke her role as temporary colony leader with Khan absent, but Doc reminds her that he has ultimate authority when it comes to keeping the colony healthy. Since Audrey's health pertains to her taking time off, he can exercise his authority at the doctor to overrule her. He says this in the tone of voice that indicates they've had this discussion many times. They're truly friends barbing each other.
