Our pitch bible presentation
Narrative short summary:
Episode 1:
We are introduced to our cast, a group of cyborgs attempting to escape their life as slaves to the humans
and reach ‘the factory’, where they can have their human parts removed, become full robots and live in
peace. However, they are hailed by a ship and quickly realise that the spacecraft they hijacked was a
space restaurant, and the beacon advertising it is still broadcasting. Deciding to fulfil the order to avoid
suspicion, the clueless cyborgs scramble to find something humans might like to eat. However, the only
thing left on the ship is their own meat...

Episode 2:
Engineer is troubled with the meager 1-star review their meal garnered, despite the other cyborgs lack
of concern. They only want to shut down the beacon.We see flashbacks to her time working for the
humans at the same resort as Jukebox, never receiving any praise. While she pities Jukebox’s own
struggles, she is jealous of the attention the humans give her, something that she has never had herself.
In the present, she completes another order but still fails to gain a good review. It’s then that another
problem presents itself - what will they do now the meat Captain surrendered for cooking has run out?
