FIXING

Credits displayed during below sequence.
SPC. JUST OUTSIDE WESTERN SHIP
Zeus rotates with slight motion, in front of a static starry
landscape, eyes still open as if he saw hell. At the
beginning Zeus is convulsing very violently. Midway through
scene convulsing is mild. Then convulsing stops. Vaporous
blood is spilling out of Zeus's mouth.
A few seconds later zooming out from body slightly.
Fade to reflection of the face of a machine operator. Fade
fully to transition face in mirror to face of machine
operator without turning camera. He is focused. His face
contorts, then satisfaction. Zoom into reflection in both of
his eyes, as we pass through the window, the yellow
mechanical arms, suited for other tasks pulls Zeus into the
bay. Mechanical arms push his corpse through the membrane,
(from vacuum side, camera swings through the orange membrane,
to air side) as human arms pull him onto the waiting fancy,
massive, replicating, stretcher.
INT. HALLWAYS ON WESTERN SHIP
Zeus is rushed by medics to the infirmary. Surreal and
garbled experience as if we are hearing things through
Zeus's disincarnate ghost translated through his oxygen
deprived brain.
MEDIC 1
He is in cardiac arrest.
DOCTOR
How long has he been out there.
MEDIC 1
minutes. Synthesizing muscle
stimulant.
DOCTOR
All alveoli within the lungs will
have been ruptured.
Medic is holding stimulant ready to inject into the heart.
(Fixing)
DOCTOR
Synthesize two nanorepair
solutions.
says the doctor as he accesses his computer to shed the
block of SINSS away from Zeus's torso.
Medic drives stimulant into Zeus's heart.
Medic pulls out both syringes from replicator, and puts one
in each hand.
MEDIC 1
Where do these go?
Doctor pulls metal paddle from the table and
DOCTOR
Lungs alveoli stay focused.
Medic 1 injects both needles directly through the breastplate
into the lungs.
The medical staff wheel Zeus into a hospital room.
INT. ZEUS'S HOSPITAL ROOM
Medic 1 places them in proper configuration to drive current
through heart. Also places a heart pulse monitor on the
heart. Cardiac arrest pulse come up on screen. Heart beat is
ultra rapid and irregular.
MEDIC 1
Right.
Medic 1 stabs a syringe in the approximate center of Zeus's
lungs. He let's go of syringes and slams his hands on
plungers instantly pushing all solution into the lungs
DOCTOR

Medic 1 immediately backs away.
Doctor presses the button.
EKG

After the 5 shocks Zeus's EKG returns to normal. They put
him on a blood oxygenator by intravenously connecting a
large vein in each arm to the oxagenator. The doctors
control the repairs from multiple computer monitors in the
room they have to interface the nanobots to repair the
ruptured lungs. Doctor hit's repair alveoli button.
ZOOM OUT FROM
COMPUTER
MONITOR:
INT. BRIEFING ROOM
TITAN
Amazing he is going to live.
WESTERN SHADOW GOVERNMENT 1
Yes and too think he suffers from
so little brain damage.
TITAN
I wonder if Zeus will ever be fit
enough to join back with the armed
forces.
WESTERN SHADOW GOVERNMENT 1
Of course he will. Our nano repair
procedures are virtually perfect,
he will be back on his feet in less
than a weeks.
(Fixing)
TITAN
I am not worried about his physical
health. Instead of firing at
Easterners with his machine gun he
threw his helmet away. Anybody who
saw the video knew he was Committing
suicide.
WESTERN SHADOW GOVERNMENT 1
At least he blew out, as ordered.
TITAN
Yeah your right, at least he wanted
to die as a patriot instead of an
insubordinate. He violated no orders.
TITAN
Anyways it might take a lot more
than a week Zeus's Electromagnetic
Neurographics indicate he is in a
deep state of coma.
WESTERN SHADOW GOVERNMENT 1
Who knows maybe he'll wake up and
have had a near death experience
realizing there is an afterlife and
become all enlightened and stuff.
TITAN
Maybe, most likely he'll remain
suicidal and or depressed since so
many of his new friends are dead.
WESTERN SHADOW GOVERNMENT 1
Let's just pray he gets better, he
was a fine warrior.
TITAN
That he was.
DEPRESSION
INT. ZEUS'S HOSPITAL ROOM
days later in that same hospital room, Zeus wakes up. Zeus
sits up in an incredibly painful and unnatural coughing fit.
ZEUS
WHERE AM I!
DOCTOR
You are in the ________ hospital on
_______.
ZEUS
What the fuck I thought I died.
DOCTOR
We picked you up in enough time and
implemented nanotherapy to remove
the blood from out of your lungs.
You are extremely lucky you are
still alive you made the world
record on time spent in a vacuum
and still lived.
ZEUS
Oh great, really?
DOCTOR
No if you did you would have
massive brain damage and I would
have already informed the Guinness
Book of World records.
CUT TO:
Zeus looks really depressed, and sits inside the apartment
they gave him and gazes at the TV with a glazed depressed
look. Zeus falls asleep and flashes back to the death of the
horribly failed mission. Show him until he falls unconscious,
when the screen blacks out. Then Zeus is falling towards the
sun. As he gets closer his skin begins to burn and peel.
HARSH AND
UNEXPECTED CUT:
(Depression)
INT. ZEUS LIVING ROOM
Trophies of gaming/hover boarding/other victories, the most
prominent of which was supreme medal of leadership from the
first scene of Fallen Nanotopia.
CAMERA PANS TO:
Zeus is sitting in front of the TV and in the corner comes
up personal email from 1. Subject: "Open me."
Zeus opens it.
"Dear Zeus,
There is going to be a party at my house, 5433 ________ lane,
on May 22, starting at 9:00 PM.
I need to talk to you about something very important.
Come to it.
Sincerely,
Hermes"
ZEUS
Who lives on 5433 _________ lane?
TV
Hermes and Persephone.
ZEUS
Computer place a reminder on May
22,
at 8:30 'Party at 5433 ________'
TV
Yes Zeus.
ZEUS
Computer Go back to channel 34.
ZOOM TO THE
NUMBER 5433:
PARTY
EXT. JUST OUTSIDE HERMES'S HOUSE
Fade to 5433 being the number on the door of the Apartment
where Hermes and Persephone live.
ZEUS
Hello my name is Zeus and yours is?
PERSEPHONE
Hey your the guy who got sucked up
in space without a helmet who they
gave lung therapy to.
ZEUS (LIKE NEO'S RESPONSE TO ORACLE)
Yep that's me.
PERSEPHONE
Come right in. Oh my name is
Persephone.
Zeus shakes her hand and walks in.
INT. HERMES'S HOUSE
ZEUS
Another greek goddess your doomed
to be taken.
PERSEPHONE
Nope nobody is going to take me
against my will and I am probably
not going to die.
ZEUS
Your Friend Hermes is so famous, he
and you have been all over the news
lately.
Zeus following Persephone finally enters the living room
with a wall for a TV.
HERMES
Hey Zeus, good to meet you, I saw
you back in the simulator the one
where the Krakatoa slammed into the
Western Flagship.
(Party)
PERSEPHONE
That game was a classic, it is now
getting superficial review by all
cadets at the Academies.
ZEUS
I am sure my maneuvers weren't
extrodinary, I just used simple
straight forward tactics. The
Krakatoa ramming into the Liberty
thing was simply ingenious though.
HERMES
No your assault on the silo was
beautiful.
PERSEPHONE
Hey your speech is coming on in the
news.
HERMES
Oh I wanted to see the repeat of my
speech full of lies.
Everyone looks at the TV and volume is turned up. Hermes
sits down and puts his arms around Persephone.
Hermes is finishing the speech he gave at the beginning of
Fallen Nanotopia.
HERMES (TV)
I have been to the East those
people in their direct internet
democracy are no freer then the
people of the West in their
representative democracy.
HERMES (TV)
Everybody in the East fears the
regular mind tests which are
imposed on the population.
Torturous shocks are used to keep
all Eastern citizens in line. It is
a horrible place to live over there.
HERMES (TV)
Many in these Western countries say
that this press is not free. If
this press were not free than how
would a traitor like me be allowed
to speak to the entire country. The
press is as free as the corporations
that control it, they may be money
grubers but they do not lie.
(Party)
HERMES (TV)
They have not lied about the
Kennedy assignations, they did not
lie about Oklahoma City bombing,
they have not lied about September
the 11th and I know for certain
that they did not lie when they
accused the East of attacking the
Eastern ladder.
HERMES (TV)
America is a peaceful nation and
never goes to war unless it truly
has to. It was the war mongering
East that attacked their own ladder
to precipitate this bloody war.
HERMES (TV)
It was the East that fired the
first shots by attacking the
Western ladder. And it was the
eastern commander that ordered the
nuking of the clashing fleets at
the outer extent of Earth's orbit.
HERMES (TV)
And with the loss of the East's
fleet and our new war production
expansion on the moon we shall
field an fleet and army that shall
crush the Eastern outer holdings.
HERMES (TV)
By the great Leviathan as our
spearhead we shall bring down these
foreign foes and take them under
our wing so a proper representative
democracy built of political
parties may rule them also in freedom.
HERMES (TV)
Do not betray this country in
either heart or mind for this
country shall reign victorious over
this war, God willing.
HERMES (TV)
Good luck to all the fighting men
and women and God speed us to the
end of this war. Farewell.
(Party)
TV REPORTER (TV)
That was a wonderful uplifting
speech by Hermes The x-Supreme Sky
Commander of the East who recently
joined the Western cause after
witnessing the evil Eastern fleet's
thermonuclear devastation.
HERMES
What do you think?
ZEUS (SARCASTICALLY)
It fills my heart with warm fuzzy
joy, even though it is all bullshit.
HERMES
It certainly is folks I am a great
liar.
OTHER PARTY MEMBER
What do you mean.
HERMES
Around 12 noon towmarrow I shall
tell you all, but drink up for you
will need a numb heart for what I
am going to tell you, those of you
that don't already know.
PERSEPHONE
But don't drink too much or you'll
have a hangover for the "Festivities"
tomorrow.
Hermes looks over at Zeus. Zeus looks at Persephone-
ZEUS
What do you mean.
PERSEPHONE
Just wait until the time comes and
you shall find out.
ZEUS
Ohh I can't wait for the secret.
PERSEPHONE
You WILL wait.
ZEUS
Ok I guess it's only a few hours.
FADE IN AND OUT:
(Party)
Zeus is siting in a couch holding a beer. Persephone sits
down next to Zeus.
PERSEPHONE
Hey Zeus Hermes and I are having
relationship problems.
ZEUS
Oh really.
PERSEPHONE
Yeah would you be my fuck buddy
tonight.
ZEUS
Uhh but what about your boyfriend?
PERSEPHONE
So we'll take that guest room.
Persephone takes Zeus by the hand and leads him into the
guest room.
INT. GUEST ROOM IN HERMES'S HOUSE
Sex scene.
CUT TO:
The sun is just starting to shine through the window when an
alarm(same as Zeus's cell phone when he gets a mission call)
wakes Zeus and Persephone up.
ZEUS (HOLDING HEAD)
Ah lord my head.
PERSEPHONE
Rise and shine.
ZEUS
I don't remember much from last
night, what happened?
Persephone shifts her position.
PERSEPHONE
It was awesome last night and you
were wonderful.
ZEUS
Memory hazy, but yeah I did have a
good time.
(Party)
They look at each other, in that special way, but kinda like
they don't know each other, which they don't.
PERSEPHONE
I'm going to take a shower.
ZEUS
Your Persephone.
PERSEPHONE
Right.
ZEUS
Well we should stay in touch I am
going to head back to my apartment.
PERSEPHONE
NO, we nee...
(smiles)
I want you to stay.
ZEUS
Really., why?
PERSEPHONE
I will talk to you about it later,
just stay right here while I shower,
ok?
ZEUS
Sure, hey how old are you anyways?
PERSEPHONE
Zeus raises his left eyebrow in surprise.
ZEUS
Iiiiii think I'm just going to go
now.
PERSEPHONE
No you can't
(aggressively makes out
with Zeus)
here come with me to the shower.
ZEUS (MEEKLY)
Wait why?
Grabs his hand and swings him out of bed and towards the
hallway.
PERSEPHONE
Iloveu.
(Party)
INT. HALLWAY IN HERMES'S HOUSE
Hermes is walking at the other end of the hall holding a
digital pad talking to some guy in a maintenance uniform.
Zeus sees Hermes, total shock. Hermes looks over. Zeus
becomes EXTREMELY awkward, starts looking around, trying to
figure something out to do or say.
PERSEPHONE
Hey.
(rudely as she tightens
her grip and pulls Zeus
down the hallway)
HERMES
Have fun last night?
PERSEPHONE
Yep it was great.
Persephone walks into the bathroom.
Zeus still in the hallway looks over to Hermes,
ZEUS (STUTTERING)
It, it's,, it's not what you thi-
Persephone pulls him into the bathroom he looses balance and
almost falls on the floor, she pulls him past the door and
slams the door.
CUT TO:
INT. BATHROOM IN HERMES'S HOUSE
ZEUS
Uhh.
PERSEPHONE
Go on spit it out.
ZEUS
Uhh what's happening?
PERSEPHONE
We are taking a shower, now off
with your clothes.
She has already taken her shirt of and now takes his off.
Zeus resists.
(Party)
ZEUS
How does your boyfriend not care?
PERSEPHONE
Look I'll explain as we shower, now
take off your clothes so I can
disintegrate them.
Zeus takes his shirt off.
ZEUS
Ok explain.
PERSEPHONE
Alright I am going to ask you to
leave with us today.
ZEUS
Sure. Where?
PERSEPHONE
You promise not to tell anyone
because if you do I will be forced
to kill you.
ZEUS
Ahahhha, yeah right-
PERSEPHONE
No really, we are going to take
over the Leviathan.
ZEUS
Right, your going to use me, a
veteran to kill everybody on a
heavily guarded ship and take over
the flagship, ok,
(pointed hand waving
around head)
coocoo.
PERSEPHONE
No but you basically did that to
the Liberty.
ZEUS
It was just guarded by a few
incursion commando teams.
PERSEPHONE
Anyways Hermes and a few of our
friends will do it covertly.
(Party)
ZEUS
Right,, your whole group is crazy.
PERSEPHONE
No really, Hermes works with the
contractors, he's acquired the core
security codes.
Zeus stares at her. Stares at her.
PERSEPHONE
Stop looking at me like that.
ZEUS
Holy shit I don't know whether to
slit your throat for your treachery
or love you because you are going
to actually do something to end the
war and let everybody play better
virtual reality where your whole
brain is jacked up.
PERSEPHONE
The latter.
Persephone says as she puts her arms around Zeus.
