Scene: Pestulon; in front of a liquor store.=20 The usual scene from SQ6 on Pestulon is going on, a man warming himself = by a fire and a drunk sitting in the corner hacking up a fish.=20 A time ripper appears suddenly, it is cracked and covered with bullet = holes and various battle damages. The front chronoshield caves in. A man = with one arm blasted off at the elbow crawls out and fall to the ground. = He rolls away just in time as the time ripper has a small explosion and = melts into a pile of molten metal. The man is clearly shown to be a = Sequel Police with extensive battle damage to his armor, and of course a = blasted off arm. He stands up wobbly. A few aliens walk over to warm = themselves by the fire that was a time ripper. The SP walks to the drunk = in the corner that had just removed the fish from his throat.=20 "Are you Elmo Pug?" Asks the Sequel Police.=20 "Yes, are you looking for a cheat program?" Replies the drunk.=20 "No, but maybe you might need one?" Asks the Sequel Police before = falling over dead.=20 In the deceased cyborgs hand is a disk labeled Vohaul 2.0. Scene: Starcon Conference Room An assembly is going on in the conference room at Starcon Academy from = SQ5. The table is surrounded by screen filling extras and a few = important people. Including Beatrice and a few other people that talk = during this scene. "Gentlemen," Says Beatrice entering the room. "You are all well informed = of the use, basic premise, and history of the Star Generator Project. We = all know that it was quite successful. And that we have had the fortune = to solve a cure for the situation that all stars suffer from when they = reach a certain age, namely the situation Xenon's star suffered from. = And the misfortune that the first star generator was to fall into the = wrong hands, the hands of the terrorist Sludge Vohaul. After creating = the second star generator and using it successfully we thought that the = matter was closed. But be it as it may there is other populated solar = systems that are suffering from an aging star. Ambassador Wilkins from = one such system is here to speak." A man stands and addresses the room, "You have the plans, you have to = give us them. Or we're all gonna freeze. Thank you." He sits down. A man speaks, "Preposterous! We can't just give the plans away to = anybody like that! Imagine if they used them for the wrong use, or sold = them, or had the stolen!" "Do you call me a traitorous liar?" Stands the ambassador shouting. = "I'll have you know that my planet is well renowned for its honor and = tha---" "Sit Ambassador please," says Bea. "We understand your trouble and will = be happy to deliver a star generator to the uninhabitable planet so = fortunately nearby your own if you would allow us to send our own fleet = into your system to protect it." "That will be adequate, Good day." He says, and leaves. "Well that wasn't so bad," Says Bea. Suddenly a half dozen men enter and empty a number of large sacks of = letters onto the table. Be picks two up and reads each. "Oh boy." Scene: Space Letters flash by in a Star Wars fashion. And so it came to be, the befuddled Xenonians had no choice but to = constructed a new Star Generator that could be used as many times as = needed that would be used as many times as needed. Thus the Star = Generator 2.0 was born. A powerful ship that looked sneakily familiar = which had the power to lock onto any planet and create a fresh new star = from the planets energies to replace any boring old "Natural" one, who = needs one that "Goes away for at least 8 hours, one that "Causes less = skin cancer". I mean, who needs photosynthesis anymore? Huh? Ok, so = there were still a few bugs. But the point was that that the Xenonians = had created something that marked them as true heroes. And would save = uncountable lives. Or so it seemed. Scene: Starcon; just outside Conference Room Our friend and semi-hero Roger Wilco waits eagerly outside the = conference room while his girlfriend Beatrice talks to the people or = something. He whistles a tune, looks at his watch, fiddles with the = buckazoids in his pocket, looks around and spots a vending machine to = his left. He draws a buckazoid from his pocket and proceeds to purchase = a candy bar. The machine makes so unhealthy grinding noises and stops, = denying him of his candy. He proceeds to beat on it until it topples over and nearly crushes him. = He leaps back and gets his toes smashed. As the meeting ends a few dozen = people leave the room in time to see Wilco bounce around on one foot and = curses vulgarly. Beatrice attempts to sneak away but Roger stops her.=20 "Bea! Where are you going?" Bea turns and says, "Nowhere," slightly embarrassed. "That damn machine ate my money! I gonna go report it!" Says Roger as = the machine catches fire, security bots struggle to extinguish the = flames, and a security guard comes around the corner. "Um, maybe we = should just go, soon." "Good idea, Roger." |
