[Script] Unfood - Page 1
Unfood
by Tom Drake
Dramatis Personae
Freight Kasniket – He is an overly ambitious starship
captain willing to cut some corners to make a quick buck so
he can retire. He is very loyal to his crew, but he is
willing to gamble with their lives to risk it all by
smuggling one last big score.
The Blob - Petty, Stupid, Fat. He has more money than God
and less idea what to do with it. He has little to nothing
to live for except his money and his various excessive ways
to display it. He is everything that Freight
isn’t...unambitious in every way. Without his weight, he
will be even more lost. He is desperate for any edge he can
give himself to keep it, and so is willing to pay to keep
it. Whatever it takes. Also a bit somewhat accident prone.
Kendra Sunmire – Navigator for the Margaret and First
mate. She plays the straight man to the awesome trio, and
is also somewhat responsible. But she also doesn’t put up
with bullshit on their parts. She is often the Cassandra of
the group where her warning are unheeded or ignored. On
better days that means she’s there to post bail for them in
the morning. On worst days, it means that Freight helps to
ruin her life.
Aaron Bilay – The ultimate stoner and also a kind gregarious
fellow. He’s funny and he knows it. However there is the
sensitive soul of a poet underneath the snarky
exterior. Too much hardship will destroy him.
Bob – He is the second maintenance robot in the
Fatship. He knows how to find things and knows how to
make his mission shine. Bob doesn’t talk but sometimes you
can still swear he’s saying something by the way he clicks.
Gerald Danes - A spokesman hired by the Confederation to do
an industrial video about how the laws regarding health care
are going to change for the sector. He is charismatic and
charming.
The Judge - A member of the confederation and a genetically
modified human. He is very large and intimidating but
speaks with a very gentle voice. He is calm and rational
despite the fact that he looks like he could crush anyone
before him like an insect.
Ship’s Computer - The Fatship’s computer isn’t really
intelligent. But it does a very good job of pretending like
it is. It is extremely friendly because it has to
be. Friendliness and customer service are mandatory
citizen.
Warrior - A confed warrior who serves as bailiff to the
judge.
