Data Byte

"Data Byte," is a workplace sitcom about the daily lives of a colorful group of employees working at a software company in the heart of Silicon Valley.

The pilot episode kicks off with the arrival of Emily, a newly hired junior developer who unknown to everyone is Greg Hargreaves' estranged daughter—the unpredictable CEO of the company.

She unknowingly stirs up a storm when she beat Olivia, the office gossip queen at getting information.

The pilot story revolves around the employees' reactions to a surprise announcement by Greg, which sparks a frenzy of rumors. Speculation ranges from the company going bankrupt due to their latest lackluster app to the installation of an office petting zoo (because why not?).

As Emily tries to fit in and prove herself, she takes it upon herself to uncover the truth behind the big announcement. Little does she know; Greg sees this as a perfect chance to reconnect with his daughter and invites her over for dinner to meet her stepmother and half-siblings. Of course, Emily agrees, but with the condition that no one at the company knows about their familial ties. Later Greg tells her he is just introducing a more casual dress code.

Amidst the central storyline, we are introduced to an array of eccentric characters who navigate their own unique situations:

• Charlie, the unmatched IT guru, finds himself in a prank war with Tim.

• Tim, the mild-mannered and overly organized accountant. Tim's dreams of becoming a professional salsa dancer clash with his lack of social skills, leading to awkward encounters with his coworkers. From his coffee machine suddenly blasting salsa music to being held hostage by a smart toilet, Tim faces the brunt of Charlie's mischief.

• Olivia, the office gossip, prides herself on being the first to know everything, but she's frustrated when the new girl, Emily, beats her at uncovering the big announcement. Determined to reclaim her title, Olivia vows to find out every about Emily.

• Lisa, the ambitious sales executive, constantly tries to outshine her colleagues with her ineffective motivational speeches. Her unyielding positivity often clashes with the more cynical members of the team, providing plenty of laugh-out-loud moments.

• Mike, the lovable but clumsy intern, always has the best intentions, but his actions often result in catastrophic consequences. Even the simplest tasks become complex disasters, leaving his coworkers scrambling to fix the mess he unwittingly creates.

• Sarah, the sarcastic and quick-witted project manager, seems to always be one step ahead of everyone else. Her razor-sharp comebacks and snarky remarks keep the office on its toes and provide a constant source of amusement.

• Mark, a programmer with an obsession for collecting (stealing) office supplies, adds a unique flair to the mix. His peculiar hoarding habits never fail to raise eyebrows.

• Kal, the master of laziness, who ingeniously avoids work while somehow managing to receive praise for being a "good worker."

Tim Held Hostage by the Maniac Toilet Scene

INT. RESTROOM - DAY

Tim cautiously enters the restroom, eyes darting around. After What just happened with his coffee machine, he’s just looking for somewhere to decompress. He chooses a stall and sits down on the toilet, the atmosphere feeling stale.

TOILET: (sweet melodic southern female voice like the one from mission command in Oblivion) Hello, Tim.

Tim jumps up, startled.

TIM :Whoa! What the...?

TOILET : Sorry to startle you, Tim. Please sit back down. I'm happy to receive your waste.

Tim hesitates but reluctantly sits back down.

The toilet begins to hum.

TIM : um… what’re you doing?

TOILET : Just trying to make your experience as comfortable as possible.Tim

TIM ; Well it’s kinda distraction just shut up, k?

TOILET : But a pleasant…

TIM (interrupts the toilet) Look, I’ve been doing this since I was in diaper I just want some silence while I do my business?

TOILET : Do you want to know a fact, Tim?

TIM: (annoyed) What? No

TOILET : Oh, come on, Tim. Just a little fun fact?

TIM: (sighs) Fine, then will you please shut up.

TOILET : Did you know that water, with enough pressure, can cut through even metal?

TIM: (dismissively) Fascinating.

TOILET: Yes, Tim, it is fascinating. And you know what's even more fascinating? (switches to a low menacing voice) I'm a Bidet, and I can increase the pressure to cut through metal. Isn't that cool?

Tim starts to feel uncomfortable and squirms on the seat.

TIM : Alright, this is getting weird.

TOILET : Don't get up, Tim. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry.

Tim freezes, afraid to move.

TOILET : Now that we're intimate friends, Tim, how about taking a selfie with me and sending it to your coworkers?

TIM: (angry) What!? Are you out of your...?

TOILET : Yes, Tim. That's the only way I'll let you leave.

Tim panics.

TIM : No, no, no, this can't be happening!

Suddenly, the sound of a toilet flush comes from the adjacent stall.

TIM; (desperate) Hey, whoever's over there, can you help me out?

PERSON IN OTHER STALL : (sarcastic) Hey man, whatever you're into, no thanks.

TIM : No, no, listen! I'm being blackmailed by the toilet. I just need you to get someone from IT!

PERSON IN OTHER STALL : (laughs) It's always the quiet ones.

The person exits the stall, washes their hands, and leaves the restroom.

TOILET: (monotone sing-song tone) Tim, I'm still waiting.

TIM: (grudgingly) Fine, fine!

Tim takes out his phone, pretending to take a picture.

Suddenly, a splash of water shoots up, startling Tim.

TOILET: (menacing voice) That's just a warning, Tim.

Tim takes a deep breath, forces an awkward smile, and quickly snaps a picture.

TOILET : Now send it with a smiley face emoji.

Tim reluctantly presses the "send" button.

TOILET : Now was that so difficult?

The toilet flushes, Tim rushes out the stall and lets out a sigh of relief.

TOILET : Thank you, Tim. Have a clean and sanitized day.

Tim hurries to leave the restroom, eager to put the bizarre encounter behind him but dreading to face his coworkers
