Act 1 - Scene 1

Fade in:

30 million BCE – Give or take a millennia

Earth as it is seen from 50000 miles. But it is not quite as it appears today; familiar but different. Continents shifted. North and South America are not connected. A massive flying saucer moves into view, slowly making its way towards orbit. Now familiar looking cipher markings are on the hull. As the ship moves into orbit it begins making scans, as if looking for something. A bright beam of light, green with shimmering rainbow colors beams down to the planet below.

Dissolve to inside the ship

While the ship makes its scan, several aliens are manning stations on what appears to be the bridge. They begin talking in a language that sounds oddly like English.

NAVIGATION OFFICER

Captain, the probability drive has pulled out of 5th dimensional space.

CAPTAIN

I can see that. Where are we?

NAVIGATION OFFICER

We're in a system, on the arm of a spiral galaxy. Judging by the speed of rotation of the star and the gravitational wave readings of spatial expansion, this blue planet that we are now orbiting is 14.59999999999999999999 billion of its years from the beginning of the expansion of this particular universe.

The captain looks understandably annoyed by the officer's precision in date and location, and responds dryly.

CAPTAIN

Thank you lieutenant. Now why would the Probability Drive bring us to this backwater burg? What are the scans picking up?

OPERATIONS SPECIALIST

Sir the planet is mostly covered in water; 71%. Nitrogen, Oxygen, Argon, and trace amounts of other gases make up the atmosphere.

CAPTAIN

So there's Carbon based life.

OPERATIONS SPECIALIST

I'm not picking up any cities or technology. Massive life form readings though. J

CAPTAIN

Helmsman, move us closer to the surface. Let's see if we can determine why in the heck we're here.

HELMSMAN

Ai sir.

OPERATIONS SPECIALIST

Sir, there is tremendous tectonic and volcanic activity on this planet. And its magnetic field is almost of the charts.

CAPTAIN

Noted lieutenant. Helm, bring us closer to that mountain range.

HELM

Ai sir.

Cut to outside the ship

As the ship flies over the Pacific Ocean toward the west coast of North America, it disappears into cloud cover.

Cut back to inside the ship

Visually move through the interior of the craft. The cipher markings are written everywhere, with technical jargon and silly graffiti like phrases.
