Day 423: The Seeds of Doom Part 2

The nature of this story means that we get only a few characters that we will see consistently for the entire story. Two such characters are Scorby and Keeler, who make a wonderful, if unsettling pairing. Both have been hired by the villainous Harrison Chase to capture a Krynoid pod from the Antarctic base where it has been found. Scorby comes across as a ruthless gun for hire, not afraid to kill or cause damage as long as it will get the job done. Keeler, on the other hand, is a botanist, who seems remarkably out of his depth in this situation, particularly when he is surrounded by the violence of Scorby. This makes Scorby seem all the more ruthless, whilst making Keeler more sympathetic with the audience, on the whole creating two characters that will entice the viewer to come back to the story over the next couple of episodes.
