INT. CONTROL ROOM
Everybody in the room starts cheering.
HERMES
Alright people lets pack up and
move out.
Hermes stands up. They pack up and bring their laptops and
handhelds with them. Most have accessed security guns to
kill the guards on the Leviathan.
One person is looking through at his handheld touching
certain Western soldiers with his pen. He kills three as the
camera switches to guards on the leviathan.
ZOOM INTO
LAPTOP:
INT. LEVIATHAN HALLWAY
A couple others 1 hall down are scarred shitless and don't
know what the fuck to do they aim at all of the guns in the
ceiling. One gun turns and shoots one of them. One gun is
partially down while the other gun kills the remaining
soldier.
ZOOM OUT OF LAPTOP
(Takeover)
EXT. STREET IN HERMES'S COLONY
The person on the laptop driving towards the Leviathan says
TEAM MEMBER 3
Switch to camera 376 but stay on
gun 380.
Team Member 3 guesses about where the gun would shoot and
gets the soldier after a few shots through the corner of the
wall.
EXT. SPACE PORT IN HERMES'S COLONY
The couple makes it to the entrance of the leviathan just as
the guns are being taken over. The Big guns outside of the
Leviathan shoot 3 of the magnetically floating guards, the
other 3 fly into the entrance where a gun kills one and the
other 2 push off just right next to the big guns.
The couple pulls out their pistols and shoots the 2
remaining guards. They run into the Leviathan, just as a cop
car pulls up. The cops get out, just before their car is
shot up by the big guns along with them. Zeus is in a
station wagon with transport style seating(vertically as
opposed to normally) besides the front 3 seats. The car
contains Hermes, Persephone, Zeus, and others. They ram into
the rubble from the cop cars. 2 cops are on the ground
telling Zeus's car to-
COP 1
GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE IT'S A GOD
DAMN WAR ZONE.
Zeus grabs his assault riffle opens the door stands on the
running board and shoots Cop 1 and Cop 2 who is in the car.
The car is still floating slowly towards the Leviathan. The
rebels get out and run into the Leviathan, by this time many
other rebels have arrived.
INT. LEVIATHAN DOCKING POINT
When Zeus and Hermes arrive, inside.
HERMES
You three go grab assault riffles
and take out the last guards in G45.
Zeus, Persephone and you 2 grab
sniper riffles and cover the last
of the rebels as they arrive. HEY
Harry.
Says Hermes as he presses his ear to communicate with his
leaders.
(Takeover)
HERMES
Cut off remote access to auto guns
in 2 minutes.
TEAM MEMBER 1
Yea Hermes the West has launched
space fighters that will arrive in
about a minute.
HERMES
Ok I will organize the Space guns
you man the Sentry guns and lets
make the cut off in around 2
minutes OK?
TEAM MEMBER 1
Will do Hermes.
Zeus hands Persephone a sniper riffle.
ZEUS
Let's go!
They get to the door to the Leviathan and lay on the ground
to provide sniper support. Zeus and Persephone begins firing
at police men and soldiers who are in the crowd.
INT. LEVIATHAN SPECIAL SUBRIDGE
Hermes is at a remote bridge console, closer to the door.
Hermes is wearing a full virtual reality helmet, and gloves.
Hermes moves his hands downwards sharply.
FADE TO VIRTUAL

Hermes presses a button with his right hand.
We now view the inside of the large space colony.
Hermes uses his hands to push his view away from the large
colony into space.

Does the same to the side. The leviathan is about double the
size of the colony and is absolutely enormous. The colony's
low gee docking port connects to an arm that rotates around
in a circle at a different rate then the Leviathan and the
same as the colony it docks with.
(Takeover)
The Leviathan is triple the size of the colony in radius,
and %50 greater in length.
HERMES
Scan for space fighters, 100 click

The computer points out the absolute location of the
fighters relative to the Earth.
HERMES
Target fighters with high power
lasers. FIRE!
LEVIATHAN COMPUTER
I cannot fire upon friendly vessels
without Captain's override.
HERMES
I am the captain override.
LEVIATHAN COMPUTER
Yes you are the captain but you do
not have Captain's override privileges.
INT. LEVIATHAN SPECIAL SUBRIDGE
Hermes lifts up his helmet, over camera. Camera backs away
to see him put his radio to his ear. We can still see some
of space.
HERMES
Team member 2, I need you to
override "Captain's override" anti-
friendly fire shit.
TEAM MEMBER 2
?What?
HERMES
Shut off friendly fire block.
TEAM MEMBER 2
I can't, they changed the protocols
from 4.80 to 4.82. Look I don't
have any of the source code, I have
absolutely no idea. I'll have to
rewrite at the hardware level.
HERMES
Shit.
(Takeover)
TEAM MEMBER 3
Just do a firmware downgrade back
to 4.80.
TEAM MEMBER 2
Looking,, there it is,,
Clicks on it and presses enter.
TEAM MEMBER 2
There we go. Try again.

Hermes rapidly, almost inhumanly types in a large string of
numbers, then just as rapidly pinkies enter as his hand
moves to the right to lasso the visual anomaly.
Hermes Slices and dices 2 of the 4 groups of 6 space
fighters with thin red lasers, visible only because of the
interface.
Video boxes reappear.
HERMES
Fire continuous laser beam.
PIOLT
Leviathan is returning fire. We are
getting diced up here,
(Admiral buts in and
their are 2
overlapping conversations.)
we don't have the fire power to go
up against this weaponry.
ADMIRAL
Fire one last volley and
(clenches teeth in rage.)
Pull our fighters the FUCK OUT OF
THERE.
Hermes sweeps away the talking heads and concentrates on
shot-gunning and slashing the last two groups, they get one
volley in under the shield. About seven out of ten of their
shells are stopped. the last three damage seriously the
exterior of the hull (like firing torpedoes at death star,
powerful and damaging but insignificant in the big picture).
All of the fighters are destroyed and Hermes realizes that
the laser beam is still firing at the center of a destroyed
fighter. Hermes turns off the laser.
HERMES
Scan for any other military vessels
in direct vicinity.

Persephone looks at Zeus.
PERSEPHONE
Look on TV it is an admiral of the
fleet and we are here.
They all look at it.
ZEUS
So what?
PERSEPHONE
You can snipe them.
Zeus looks up the road so far into the distance it starts to
curve upwards. He sees a Admiral of the fleet.
ZEUS
Yea I have him in my sights.
Whoever told you about that is a
genius.
Everybody except Persephone with her assault riffle get down
attached to the floor and look up the road, and put their
sights on...

TEAM MEMBER 8
Everyone except 4 people.
HERMES
Well we are just going to have to

(First True Speech to The World)
HERMES
I am Hermes, messenger of the East,
and x-Supreme Eastern Space Admiral.
Before I ask you join our cause I
must first explain the hidden
history behind the embattled
factions we are both part of.
HERMES
I must explain the dynamic of the
cold war that we have all been
encompassed within. Some of you are
old enough to remember the cold war
between the Soviet Union and NATO.
HERMES
Ironically I and the East am on the
side of NATO so I will be speaking
on the side of the West for now.
HERMES
The Soviet Union was toppling
country after country to gain more
land into their block.
HERMES
Do not scoff at me when I say that
Vietnam almost won us the cold war
by forcing the Soviet Union to pour
huge amounts of funds into the war.
The same goes with the guerilla war
in Afganistan that Osama Bin Laden
was fighting in the 1980s.
HERMES
Because we promised them that we
would prop up any capitalist
country that the red curtain is
dropped upon we convinced the
shadow governments of many of the
Red countries to join our cause.
HERMES
This forced them to grab a hold of
what they had left in the oil rich
middle East.
HERMES
Despite what you have been told
first strike capabilities are not
from ICBMs but by satellite
detonated suit case nukes planted
in enemy territory, each one
capable of destroying a few cities
or everything within a 1000 km radius.
(First True Speech to The World)
HERMES
The H-bombs saturation of the whole
world is still held by the remnants
of the Soviet Union; The Rebel
Alliance. Our shadow name is the
Free World Alliance or previously
the Evil Empire.
HERMES
Because of the appeal of the
Islamist movement in that region it
was necessary to use the United
States to invade those countries
rather than taking them over by
winning popular support.
HERMES
was orchestrated by NATO to be
used as a justification, but that
wore thin when it was time to take
Iran. They forced us to inflict
many atrocities against the Arabs
through Israel giving them massive
support in the Middle East and
elsewhere.
HERMES
The government popularity levels
within US citizens stooped below %25
for over 1 year.
HERMES
According to the current MAD,
Mutually Assured Destruction,
nuclear treaty arrangement that
meant that the US had to change
hands to the Rebel Alliance.
HERMES
Since they still held power over
the Islamists which controlled the
oil we traded the rest of the
Americas to the Rebel Alliance for
our control over the Middle East.
HERMES
That is the divide between the
blocks. We had to give them
nanotechnology once it was
developed so that they did not
destroy the world.
(First True Speech to The World)
HERMES
This may sound fucked up but if we
had nuked a small American city and
blamed it on the Axis of Evil then
maybe our popularity would not have
waned and we would have ended this
horrible war but unfortunately the
Free World Alliance did not make
that decision.
HERMES
The West was not lying about the
Kennedy Assignation, Oklahoma City
bombing, or September 11th. But
what they did not tell you is that
they were the ones who ordered the
bombings and other massacres by the
Israelis against their neighboring
Arabs. Our mouth were shut by
dictate of MAD treaty.
HERMES
Again we pulled another false flag
operation in attacking our own
ladder pulling strings in the CIA
so that we could fight and win this
war before it became a war across
stars.
HERMES
Luckily we have sent seed probes to
other star systems first so that we
will control them. But if we lose
command codes some of them will
fall into enemy hands.
HERMES
As to the allegations that we are a
mind control state. Straight up, we
are but it is a good thing because
it enables perfect neurological
synchronization with a virtual
reality environment.
HERMES
This virtual reality environment
must be secured by continuous mind
scanning and drilling of the
general population to prevent
hackings that torture people in
Full Neurological Connectivity
Virtual Reality, FNCVRs.
(First True Speech to The World)
HERMES
These hacks will be systemic
extorting people into hacking other
game servers in exchange for
releasing people who are hacked
from the intense pain caused by the
hacker. Which if it got out of hand
would plunge our civilization into
an all out nuclear war.
HERMES
We are all happy with our MK state
and can participate in elections
where we make decisions on our own
not by our leaders whom we choose
from among 2 parties as you all do.
HERMES
This forces you to choose among a
false dichotomy. Both parties vote
the same way in many things that
are important while they disagree
on issues that are sensational.
PERSEPHONE
Allow me to introduce myself my
name is Persephone. I am a former
Supreme Eastern Space Manager. I
was the one who controlled the
Eastern fleet about the moon.
PERSEPHONE
The West was clearly arming the
frontier with nuclear torpedoes
despite mutual treaty arrangements
delineating maximum torpedo
detonation radius.
PERSEPHONE
About a year ago all of the new
large war vessels being produced by
Northrop Grumuld and McDonald
Douglas were equipped with a few
nuclear warheads.
PERSEPHONE
The East had sufficient
intelligence
to understand the magnitude of this
build up and countered it with a
build up of equal magnitude.
(First True Speech to The World)
PERSEPHONE
The West seeing their nuclear first
strike supremacy dwindling expanded
the nuclear build up with more
extensive range of nuclear torpedo
countering devices and more nuclear
torpedoes.
PERSEPHONE
The escalation continues to this
day. This information was of course
sealed to the public. Where is the
proof you ask, well it just so
happens that this vessel being the
most modern of Western Battle Ships
carries over 40,000 nuclear
warheads the small ones capable of
destroying most colony sizes while
the big ones can destroy not only
big ones but clusters of colonies.
Show Torpedoes-
INT. LEVIATHAN TORPEDO BAY
PERSEPHONE
And about 4000 of these warheads
are class 4 Tritium-Cobalt H-bombs,
which have a blast radius of 10,000
kilometers of hurricane force winds
about the perimeter if detonated on
the Earth.
PERSEPHONE
The statistics are this over
200,000
nuclear torpedoes are sitting on
the front line on both sides of the
frontier, and around a lesser
number of space faring ICBMs on the
crust of the Earth.
CUT TO:
SPC. AROUND THE EARTH
Show nuclear torpedo trajectories.
PERSEPHONE
In case of nuclear launch the
majority of the nuclear warheads
would be shot down leaving the
majority of small colonies unharmed.
CUT TO:
(First True Speech to The World)
INT. SMALL SPACE COLONIES
Show what is described below.
PERSEPHONE
However the shock wave of the
blasts could fracture the colonies
hull. Damage control teams would be
swamped with broken colonies.
PERSEPHONE
Most of the Small colonies with
small holes could survive but those
with gaping rips would perish along
with the colonies that would be
destroyed in the heat of the
nuclear explosions.
INT. LEVIATHAN PRESS ROOM
PERSEPHONE
Luckily radiation would be a much
smaller problem because the
radioactive particles would
disperse quickly and because all
colonies have built in radiation
shielding.
PERSEPHONE
It was calculated that in the case
of nuclear war over 97 percent of
the human population would perish.
PERSEPHONE
This being a horrible apocalypse,
it is unlikely that the superpowers
powers will destabilize before the
next generation of vessels are
constructed and reach the front.
PERSEPHONE
The amount of nuclear weapons on
space vessels has increased 5 fold
in the current generation of vessels.
