## Series

### Season One

Hobart is kidnapped and taken to Pentaverate HQ. There, the Pentaverate plays a video to Hobart, narrated by Rob Lowe, who explains who the Pentaverate are and introduces each member. The highest-ranking member Lord Lordington, former Australian media mogul Bruce Baldwin, ex-member of Putin's oligarchy Mishu Ivanov, Alice Cooper's former manager, Shep Gordon, and the fifth member being now Hobart. His predecessor Jason Eccleston, had died two days ago, a tech genius who invented the Pentaverate's supercomputer, MENTOR. Hobart decides to not be part of this and tries to walk out, but is stopped by the guards with Lord Lordington stating that his death has already been faked. Hobart states he is a nuclear scientist, and was two years away from cracking the cold fusion. The Pentaverate executive assistant, Patty Davis, comes and tells Hobart that he will be able to do more good here. As Jason's death was unexpected, Hobart is their last hope in solving climate change. He will receive help from MENTOR, their supercomputer, who has a human soul, however, the soul comes from a Masshole, who accidentally fell into the machine and is a bit snarky. Hobart will get more answers during his initiation ritual tomorrow and they knock him out with some sleeping gas. Hobart wakes up on the next day, where he learns he died from "kiss the star" challenge from Pentaverate TV. Patty comes to pick him up and shows him around the place.

Patty takes Hobart to the decor stage of the fake Moon landing. She tells him that he has access to the Lagrange Point Lens, which can be used to combat the global warming. They can use the lens to shield the Earth from the Sun's rays and lower its temperature by 4 degrees. Hobart states that's just a theory, however, Patty explains they already build it.
At the Initiato, Hobart is given a choice, to take the key and join them or take the pill and end his life. Facing a limited decision, Hobart choses to join them. Patty tells them they have a lot of work today as the Meadows is in three days. Since Hobart doesn't know it, they play him a video narrated by Rob Lowe, who explains that the Meadows is an event in Switzerland, where each year, the Pentaverate meets with world leaders. The event is part celebrating the Pentaverate achievements and part announcing what impending global catastrophe they are going to tackle next.

Patty tells the Pentaverate they need to discuss what party favors they should do at the Maedows. Hobart is disappointed as he thought he is there to solve global warming. Lord Lordington state that they are not almighty, but the alternative. Feeling this is a waste of time, Hobart decides to continue working on cracking the cold fusion.

On the Moon landing decor, Hobart works with MENTOR on cracking the cold fusion and with his help, he manages to do it. Bruce Baldwin comes to congratulates him and they share a beer. When Bruce leaves, Patty shows up and Hobart shares his success with her and the two then have sex. In the morning, Patty wakes up to see Hobart being dead and having blue eyes.
