VENTURE TO EARTH
Masons Emerge (6)
"This was not suppose to happen, don't they have any self-discipline?"
Mark
"What do you want...group therapy, beat them into submission?"
Lord Fredric
"I have no tolerance for violence, they must have desire, seek their purpose...they have a calling...can't they sense the simple joys of existence?"
Mark
"Okay...now your going over my head...they might understand a good beating at this point...like, ah...this hurts, maybe I won't do that again...and also...you assume everybody understands self-purpose, stop doing that...it's getting old!"
Lord Fredric
"Don't tell me how to dictate positive thoughts...I know, we're all getting old...but I swear...I'm closing in...next season I'll be 180 rotations old, and I could still run circles around you!"
Mark
"Somehow, I would never question your ability, fertility, or agility, but we have workers to gather...so if you wouldn't mind giving us a hand here, Lord sir?"
Lord Fredric
"Good...now that we know who's buttering the bread around here...let's line them up for...what did you call it?"
Mark
"A good beating?"
Lord Fredric
"No, no...didn't you have a gadget or something?"
Blaze running in
"No your Lord, it's a "Memory Translator", kind of a quick lesson with out violence...teaches them to quickly think about bad and good...to think, to reason, to function amongst themselves..."
Lord Fredric
"That's simply amazing...how did you put that thing together?"
Blaze looking at floor
"Actually...John and Paul put that stuff together back on Altar...you remember..our planet that blew up...probably some of our most gifted engineers left to die...great move on that one!"
Lord Fredric
"We didn't have the time, I couldn't bring everyone...so we are without technical genius...is that your point?"
Blaze
"No...just no spare parts...when some of this stuff goes south...no back up!"
Lord Fredric
"It was just poor judgment..."
Blaze
"Let's just say that even the Lord can falter!"
Lord Fredric
"Yea it does, you try being the Lord for a few days...drives you crazy I tell you!"
Mark walks in
"Well...we're ready to start scanning...who did you want to do first...any particular pecking order?"
Brenda yelling in hallway
"Hey, one of your workers tried to touch me!"
Mark
"Where?"
Brenda
"There, ya know...down there!"
Lord Fredric chuckling
"Some things don't have to be taught...nature is automatic...they seek what comes naturally..."
Brenda laughing
"Boys will be boys...I guess?"
Blaze
"Unexplained curiosity, probably a healthy way to approach this..."
Mark
"Wonder if they're any curious females?"
Brenda
"Well..actually, one of them was giving me the eye, smiling at me...curious I guess?"
Lord Fredric
It's predetermined...no social conditioning here..."
(Scene Switch)
(Two Hours Later)
Brenda
"Well, we've got everybody schooled...so to speak, now what?"
(All the the premature's standing in hallway talking and mumbling)
Lord Fredric
"Seems like this would be a good time to make an announcement..."
Blaze
"I wouldn't call it that...more like a lecture in self-purpose or something!"
Brenda
"Dad...come on...face it...it's sermon they need...it's their first since they just got programmed!"
Lord Fredric
"Well, I don't have anything prescripted...have to just wing it...let's see how this goes?"
Blaze
"Yea, just wing it...what do they know...hard to compare something to something they've never experienced anyway...what could happen?"
Lord Fredric
"Bad ratings?"
Brenda walking up to podium
"Now, if I could everybody's attention...I would like for you to take your hats off, but we haven't passed any out yet, so put your hands together and clap, here's my favorite Lord, my Dad!"
(Prematures just standing in disbelief)
Lord Fredric coming to podium
"The word is "faith"...above all...we must believe in ourselves first...finding your place in soceity...praise within your heart as you labor and toll...for work well done...I bequest that all of you are special...each one of you with reason and purpose for your existence...we were brought all here to create a Grand Structure...our, us..our colony is original and with reason...to fulfill the prophecy of mankind..."
Brenda whispering to Blaze
"Laying it on a little thing huh?"
Blaze whispering back
"Yea, just a little
Lord Fredric continuing
"...We are here to establish a new ground for existence...one must start somewhere...as you are all descendants, created by my daughter...her name is Brenda...but you will here forth regard her as your "Queen", and without further a do, here she is...Queen Brenda!"
Brenda blushing, approaching the podium
"No problem, thanks Dad...just like to say that it was my pleasure creating you guys!"
(Everybody starts clapping)
Lord Fredric walking back up to podium
"You were all created to establish Alatia
Blaze whispering to Lord Fredric
"That's Atlantis Lord..."
Lord Fredric
"Yes, yes...Atlantis...and it shall be done!"
(Everybody clapping louder and whistling)
Brenda
"Remember...it takes a village!"
(Suddenly crowd goes totally silent, blank stares)
Lord Fredric
"Teamwork makes it happen, everyone is special, everyone has purpose...thank you again for your participation..."
(Prematures start clapping again)
(Scene Switch)
(Two weeks later)
(Workers standing around watching one worker digging hole)
Blaze walking up to group
"Hey guys...what's going on, why are you all just standing around?"
One worker attempting to speak
"Watch...watching how the hole is dug...we've never seen this before..."
Blaze
"It's a hole...we'll be doing a lot of these...fairly straight forward, nothing too complex here...I mean this is all about teamwork...and there is a lot of work to do here...it's a shared duty...the Lord is depending on all of you, to help pull the load..."
Another worker attempts to speak
"We...we...we need to get organised...we want our benefits!"
Blaze
"Your kidding me right...look, this is an open shop...union representation will not be tolerated...at least not yet!
(Workers grumbling)
(Scene Switch)
Blaze walking into the Lord's office
"Excuse me Lord, but we have a problem?"
Lord Fredric
"And?"
Blaze
"Well the workers who are suppose to be manning the "Vibration Positioners" are already complaining about working conditions and benefits...can you believe that?"
Lord Fredric
"Wonder what that training program had in there...well, just give them a name...a declaration of brotherhood, something showing importance...about all we can do at this point!
Blaze
"What do you suggest...got any ideas?"
Lord Fredric scratching head
"Well, they'll be building everything...lot of brickwork and such...how about..how about we call them the "Masons"?"
Blaze
"Hey, I like that...boy, your good!"
Brenda over in corner of office
"I like it Dad, kind of catchy..."The Masons"!"
Lord Fredric
"The Lord's work is never done...but my goodness...it wasn't that difficult...now go and pass out the good news, they are now affiliated...like a Local 23 or something..."
Blaze
"Right away sir...hope this up's the productivity a bit?"
Lord Fredric
"Everybody wants to belong to something, it was only a matter of time anyway!"
(Scene Close)
Opening Scene:
Int: Triangle Second Level
Everyone running around trying to corral premature's who are trying to escape
Lord Fredric
"This was not suppose to happen, don't they have any self-discipline?"
