==Background==
Rod Stoddard was the actor who played Captain Cosmos in the Hubris Comics series The Adventures of Captain Cosmos. Rod had several issues with the cast and crew of the film studio, both personally and professionally; many times these issues were exacerbated by Rod's egotism.
Rod made multiple complaints to the director Roy Baker after Jangles, the monkey who played the part of Cosmos' sidekick received the largest of the dressing rooms after input from Jangles' trainer stated the monkey would need room for jungle gym equipment and playroom. The director disregarded the complaints and informed Rod that the discussion would off the table until Captain Cosmos playsets outsold the Jangles the Moon Monkey toys. This prompted Rod to have his agent look into theatre auditions as an alternative to continuing on with the Captain Cosmos series.Hub 360 terminal entries: Captain Cosmos' terminal - Re: Dressing RoomsHub 360 terminal entries: Captain Cosmos' terminal - Re: Auditions Rod also wanted to include his own self written monologues, such as "American Space Justice," in the season finale; however, Rod was denied by the director. Rod attempted to circumvent the director by reaching out to lead writer Mary Nichols and appealing to her to have the monologues introduced.Hub 360 terminal entries: Writer's terminal - Season Finale Script
Rod tried to gain the affection of his younger coworker, Darcy Kobrick, and he asked at least three times if she would be his date for the wrap party. Rod believed that Darcy would be crazy to pass up an opportunity, even telling her so. Rod also continued to press her to complete work-related tasks, such as delivering stacks of posters he had personally autographed, housed in the same dressing room where Rod wanted to display his workout routine.Hub 360 terminal entries: Reception terminal - [R.Stoddard] Wrap party date? Darcy did not reciprocate Rod's romantic interest. Darcy had complained to Mary that she was counting the days until production wrapped when she would no longer be bombarded by him asking her out on dates. Darcy complained Rod was too old for her, smelt too strongly of his monkey co-star, and he could not "get the hint" that she was uninterested.Hub 60 terminal entries: Conference terminal - "You-know-who" bothering me
On October 23, 2077, while filming the finale, Rod accidentally shot guest star Johnny Morton with an advanced weapon which was believed to only be a stage prop. The director opted to continue shooting with a stand-in for Johnny, but the accident coincided with the Great War. Rod and several other members of the cast and crew were trapped in the film studio. An improperly sealed air ventilation system allowed radiation to enter the studio, making several of the survivors sick. Rod and many others later became feral ghouls.Hub 60 terminal entries: Conference terminal - [R.Ward] AccidentProduction terminal - It's all over
