My teacher showed us Galaxy Quest in class one day, and it made me want to rewatch the movie. He showed us Quellek's death scene, and I couldn't help but feel bad for the alien kid. And so I made this rather short one shot that is probably incorrect. I don't own a DVD to the movie, I can't find anywhere to watch it, so this comes from what I've been able to get my hands on.
Enjoy.
Quellek was a young boy when he discovered the Historical Documents.
His planet received the transmission and immediately broadcasted it to the homes of every Thermians. In the time of uncertainty, these videos provided hope. They were based on a spaceship and her crew, overcoming evil, but also promoting peace and understanding among the various alien races.
Quellek quickly identified with Dr. Lazarus of Tev'Meck. He was the only alien shown to be a part of the main crew. The young Quellek - after watching the many moments in which Lazarus would prove himself not only as an intellect, but as a caring friend to his fellow crew makers - thought of the Mak'tar as a father figure, given that he grew up without one. It was through no fault of his father; he was killed by Sarris. He never knew his father, outside of what his mother told him, so instead, he relied on Dr. Lazarus to fulfill the role.
Quellek was like the many children on his planet who studied the documentations. He paid special attention to Dr. Lazarus, and even defended the man if he heard someone say something ill about the doctor (though he quickly learned to not get into verbal arguments, because Lazarus' lessons taught him this). His society was beginning to model themselves after the crewmen of the Protector, and so it was easy for him to follow through with it and modeled his life style after Dr. Lazarus.
When his home planet was destroyed, he fell into being Lazarus' pupil faster. It was known throughout his people that he was the one to go to about anything Lazarus, and when it was decided that they would travel to Earth to gain aid against the monster who had tormented them for so long, Quellek took it upon himself to make the arrangements for Dr. Lazarus. He would see to it that everything was set for his idol.
