S1, 03 The Crash (December 1, 2017)

Date: December 1st 2097

Wade: I have a friend in the GI ranks that maybe could help us out with this info. It’s been a while so i don't know if I can trust him.

Dark Ray: Ok boss. Try not to get into to much trouble without us.

Wade makes contact and they agree on a place to meet.

Wade: I told you we would meet again Phil Rider.

Phil: Uh, yeah. You said you needed some info? Sorry, but we need to hurry, I have a robot nanny looking for me… don't ask.

Wade: I need to know what is on the disc that someone gave me.The only reason I came to you was because it was passcode protected and I don’t have any knowledge of GI passcodes.

[Wade hands him the file]

Phil: [A look of shock spreads across his face as he discovers the disc’s contents.] It seems like plans to several devices being built inside of a secret GI laboratory. Even my superiors have only heard rumours about this place. Here, there’s some pictures of the machines.Phil tells him that the GI general Victor Fleming is working outside the law on some sort of super weapon and that he is hiring Wade to go stop him Because he knows trying to do so inside the law won't work. He also explains that, due to a lab accident, Victor’s had an unhealthy obsession with the cold. The whole time Wade is basically being impatient and itching to go “knock some heads.” He's not really listening especially about how dangerous the super weapon potentially is.

Wade: Ok, so it looks like they are building several devices to do a lot of damage to any resistance. Thank you for this.

Phil: No problem. Hey, there is a warrant for your arrest you know, so stay low.

[Secretly, someone listens above them and hears all that was said.]

[Later on the ship...]

Wade: Here are the pictures from the disc.

Dark Ray: So they are mechs possibly. Louie knows how to build mechs right?

Wade: Yeah, he knows how to, he can probably start working on them soon.

Computer: Missile alert!!!! Missile alert!!!!

Wade: That usually isn’t good when it says that is it?

Louie can you do anything about a missile?

Louie: I can build a missile but stopping one is a different story!

Computer: 10 seconds to impact 9, 8 ,7 ,6 ,5 , 4 ,3 ,2 ,1----

KABLOOEY!!!!!

Weeks later:

Wade: Louie when will the escape pod be fixed enough for travel back home?

Louie: A day maybe two, when can we get the ship repaired?

Wade: Ok, we can send for the rest of the ship to be repaired later.

Dark Ray: The food supplies are low we have only four days left of food,and only 3 days of water.

Wade:That could be a problem if Louie can't fix the pod fast enough we should make something to get water faster.

Dark Ray: I can do that, it is better than melting.

Dark Ray: Scorpion!

Wade: So what,one or two scorpions no big problem right.

Dark Ray: Wrong very wrong,there is one big scorpion.

Wade: Are you sure it's not a mirage?

Dark Ray: See for yourself.

Wade: Ok,that is a big scorpion. Louie can the pod work to get us out of here?

Louie: Maybe, I would rather not try it, but ok.

(Initiating landing)

Wade: Great, Louie. We landed right in the crossfire of a random gang fight!

Dark Ray: Arrgh

Wade: Are you ok?

Dark Ray: I am hit in the side pretty badly, but I should be fine. Let’s just get out of here.
