(Fall of the Western Space Elevator)
Door opens. Get up groggily. Stumble out-
INT. SPACE SHIP ORBITING MOON
ZEUS
Where is a phone.
View is blurry. Somebody points to a phone. Zeus walks to the
phone. Zeus dials CIA friend's number.
PHONE
This number has been disabled after
the attack on the CIA.
ZEUS
WHAT ATTACK?!
The recording does not respond.
ZEUS
Computer what happened to Langley
CIA Headquarters?
PHONE
The CIA building was destroyed
yesterday by a carpet bombing of
Eastern Cruise missiles.
As a picture is shown.
ZEUS
Casualty lists. Search for Friend
(the CIA insider from
earlier.)
PHONE
Confirmed deceased.
Zeus shifts his weight to lean against the wall-
ZEUS
GOD DAMMIT... FUCK-
Zeus slams the phone handle against the screen.
Zeus sits on the ground against the wall.
Zeus looks sad. Aries looks at the casualty list. Aries turns
to the distressed Zeus-
ARIES
Get the fuck off the ground
Soldier.
Zeus looks up still sad.
(Fall of the Western Space Elevator)
ARIES
We'll get our FUCKING REVENGE. Were
being sent to war by the president.
ZEUS
What?
Zeus gets up.
ARIES
Official executive orders mandate
all non-civilian personnel without
otherwise orders to be reinstated
into the military.
ARIES
I wasn't sleeping the whole time
like you were. The crust of the
Earth and all the planets are
protected by mutual treaty so the
war will be fought over the Moon.
ARIES
It won't be a nuclear torpedo
onslaught because both sides have
agreed on tritium fusion
restrictions on all shells.
Smaller units pack more firepower
relative to their size so we are
going to see small units as well as
large ones.
ZEUS
So we are going to the moon?
ARIES
Hell Y-
CUT AFTER 5
FLASHES BETWEEN
SCENES:
MOON BATTLE
INT. LARGE SPACE TRANSPORT
ARIES
-A!
Aries is in a STEX as a lieutenant Corneal.
Zeus is also in STEX as a sergeant. All 40 soldiers in the
transport are in 4 vertical rows of 5 facing 5. All 40
including Aries are STEXed.
ARIES
OK soldiers were going to the
surface.
Just then the shuttle detaches from the orbital moon station.
ARIES
I am lieutenant Corneal _____ your
commanding officer. I was there
defending the elevator station
before it was destroyed and I was
overthrowing the North Korean
regime before any o you babies were
born.
ARIES
As you all know our forces on the
moon are being hard-pressed
defending their territories.
We are going to back up a Super
BiMAV position, to drive the East
back to their own artillery lines.
ARIES
I've never been on the moon nor has
many of us but remember 3 things.
Stay with the main group if you go
astray you will die, remember your
training sims.
SOLDIER
That was only two things.
ARIES
SHUT UP.
(1st Moon Battle)
SOLDIER 2
So that's the third one; shut up
and take your orders.
ARIES
Exactly.
Aries looks out the lower window as the battle begins to come
into focus.
ARIES
Our shuttle is landing in the
vicinity of the ongoing battle
because they need support right
now, when we land get out of the
shuttle and get to the front and
don't be afraid to use this.
Aries holds up his rail assault riffle.
ARIES
Fusion on, safeties off, WE'SA
LAND'IN.
Below the diamond floor you see space fighters blow up an
open maglev rail line ferrying BiMAVs to the front.
The door opens.
SPC. SPACE ABOVE MOON AND WESTERN SKY COMMAND CENTER
Cables all swing around to pull each and every soldier in the
40 man squadron out of the transport the instant it is over
it's destination point. Camera dives centered on soldiers and
transport until the transport begin to make a u-turn and
exits the screen.
SUB SKY COMMANDER 1
This is subsky commander 1, I am
moving you men into a flanking
maneuver to protect sector 2819's
SRN replication facility, we've
routed 10,000 kg/min of carbon into
that facility so it's pumped out
Super BiMAVs that you men are going
to pilot.
ARIES
Affirm that I see your squadron on
visual, Autoengage retrorockets.
CUT TO:
Just above the surface to the unbroken open maglev
surface(magnetic levitation road). 160 BiMAVs come zooming
by.
(1st Moon Battle)
ARIES
I got mag lift.
All the soldiers are flying over the malev surface.
SUB SKY COMMANDER 1
I am accelerating you boys to land
right at the factory, you've got 40
Super BiMAVs ready and waiting,
with 120 drones under your command
fresh out of the SRN factories.
Zeus's 40 STEX squadron go zooming over the battle being
fought between the besieged Western forces and the besieging
Eastern forces in the crater field below.
Suddenly the platoon of STEX are each shot towards respective
Super BiMAVs.
The STEX are rocketed feet first into the recipient tube to
get transported to the operation center of the gigantic robot
warrior which is randomly placed in the head and torso so
that nobody know where to shoot to kill them.
SPC. MOON AND WESTERN SKY COMMAND CENTER
Zeus goes to battle and begin fighting. Basically it works
like this there is almost no sky support for the lunar
combat. The back bone of the army is composed of All Terrain
Mobile Artillery, ATMA, BiMAVs, and STEX. The enemy forces
work in basically the same way.
SUB SKY COMMANDER 1
Alright people march those bad boys
right into battle, we'll reinforce
your position momentarily with
drones.
Zeus and his men pile out of the doors, Zeus takes command of
forward drones while his BiMAVs have not yet entered combat.
BiMAVs are blasting the fuck out of each other in all
possible directions dispatched forces from western
reinforcements are jumping in from all directions and large
Eastern task forces are moving up on Western positions trying
to get to the rail lines to cut them.
SKY COMMANDER
Sub sky commander 1 we need to keep
those mag lines up if we are to
move from this position once we
secure it with reinforcements.
ARIES
Roger that commander my boys are in
supers and we are on the way to
intercept the Eastern legions.
(1st Moon Battle)
SKY COMMANDER
Sub sky commander 2 make sure that
platoon is very well softened up.
SUB SKY COMMANDER 2
Affirm.
Zeus sees 2 super BiMAVs die as volleys tumble from the enemy
artillery.
ARIES
Cannons up people.
The Western forces pound enemy BiMAVs with cannons until they
stop moving
DYING WESTERN SOLDIER
ARTILLLERYYYY,,,asdffsd!!!!!!!!!
SUB SKY COMMANDER 1
GET VOLLEYS ON THAT STRONG POINT
IMMEDIATELY!!!!!
Artillery pummels the position.
After the task force is pulverized-
ARIES
Sky Commander, Area secure.
ARIES
Our first prisoners, joy. Cut the
BiMAV's arms and legs off and throw
them in a pile over there, ultra
BiMAVs are coming up to eat them
now.
ARIES
We consume the matter and use it in
either new BiMAVs or to expand the
ultra BiMAV eating them.
ARIES
The humans inside will be encased
in STEX and assembled in small
BiMAV guards to take them back to
friendly lines where they can be
dealt with in POW camps.
SKY COMMANDER
Aries you lead these Drone Legion
to reinforce our front, move North
until you reach this crater then
move in the shadows to the other
side and wait for my order.
(1st Moon Battle)
ARIES
Wait for us we'll be there when you
need us.
SKY COMMANDER
You'd better be.
ARIES
tsshh
Move in secrecy up over the crater lip and move around almost
a half click or a quarter of the radius to just below the
crater lip(peak ring of the crater) on the inside of the
crater.
ARIES
We are in position.
SKY COMMANDER
Hold on, watch.
See on all of display the following:
Sky Command Center main screen shows the superior Western
numbers converging on the thin Eastern line and expanding
outwards in both directions.
A Eastern task force of them forms up in retreat and then
runs up from their crater onto the surface just near where
Aries's Legion is waiting. The task force decides to jump
over the Legions shadowy hiding place.
SKY COMMANDER
FIRE!!!
Show Drones jumping above Zeus head. Begin to slaughter them
with tons of plasma.
Zeus sees interface based tracers from above coming from
where the western front line is pushing the task force.
A couple Eastern BiMAVs are pushed over by the Western fire,
as Zeus begins shooting up at the ledge to fire at the
holding forces.
APOLLO
KILL THEM ALL, CHARGE!!!
The western BiMAVs plow through the Eastern warriors and jump
over Zeus's position.
ARIES
Nice to see ya Apollo.
(1st Moon Battle)
APOLLO
Roger that we'll need your fresh
legion to flank the next position.
Our fleet of Heavy BiMAVs are more
like infantry.
ZEUS
And I guess our Supers are Cavalry.
APOLLO
Right-o your quicker and more
mobile, keep your Heavy BiMAVs in
your banks until you really need
em.
SKY COMMANDER
I see up ahead there is an
artillery position the East is
evacuating by BiMAV, your Cavalry
legion can intercept their forces
and then take care of the BiMAV
reinforcements. Apollo see to it
that you converge on the BiMAV
reinforcements as the Cavalry does.
Dock all STEX and miniBiMAVs.
APOLLO
You heard the man increase speed by
SKY COMMANDER
Things look nice and tidy on this
front, sky commanders 56-63 take
charge of this matter.
SUB SKY COMMANDER 1
Um they're going to hit you with a
volley of artillery shells in a few
seconds recommend spreading out
greatly.
Zeus's platoon spreads out over the rocky terrain still
spreading out until they are a spread out over a kilometer.
SUB SKY COMMANDER 2
Good spread out over their
position, the enemy Artillery
division's personal are all running
back to enemy lines, kill them.
RANDOM SOLDIER
They are still shooting at us
though.
(1st Moon Battle)
SUB SKY COMMANDER 2
Their artillery is set to auto
targeting right now.
RANDOM SOLDIER
Oh.
SUB SKY COMMANDER 1
Form up into a 'C' with an opening
at this location, Apollo form the
'C', Aries pull your forces around
to encircle and destroy from the
opening in the 'C'. As you converge
on their strong point unload all
the way down to mini-BiMAVs
Rapidly show the positioning from Sub Sky Commander 1's
interface.
APOLLO
Here they come. PULL THE TRAP.
All the BiMAVs come firing at the 3 legions(each legion is 20
Super BiMAVs) of enemy BiMAVs as Aries's BiMAVs come jumping
over lines and coming in from the rear to seal the escape
route and put pressure on their flank.
Zeus fights a few of the last that try and break through the
blockade.
After they are all dead.
SKY COMMANDER
Good job taking out that position
now I need your squadron to move
forward to just out of range out of
Eastern Artillery power, it seems
the East was just buying time to
set up a network of nested
defenses. We thought we had them on
the run, doesn't look like that
now.
SKY COMMANDER
Sub commander 17-20 set up
artillery in a semicircle below and
some reserve artillery below the
semicircle. They will know about
the semicircle but not the
reserves.
SKY COMMANDER
Leave 20% of our infantry BiMAV
army around artillery positions to
back up any retreat.
(1st Moon Battle)
Show screen split between 24 artillery nodes as boxes with
upside down pyramids pointing on a map showing them all
located in a semicircle behind where the West is setting up
their front lines. Show 16 nodes below the bottom of the
semicircle, these are the reserve artillery.
SKY COMMANDER
Remember these rear forces are to
be called on as reinforcements and
to intercept any forces that might
have broken through, we will send
all newly produced BiMAVs to rear
mech positions.
SKY COMMANDER
Hold from getting anywhere near
their artillery until we have
amassed on the front enough
strength to slam through into their
territories. First we have to
deplete their assault forces by our
artillery.
SKY COMMANDER
Apollo dispose of the strong point
ahead, clear the forward BiMAV
guards and hit it from distance to
stay out of range of their
artillery line, well get some
cannons set in place to finish the
job.
APOLLO
Alright people we are moving up to
the front line, where it seems that
we've got to charge their strong
point, all STEX and mini-BiMAVs
return immediately to transport
BiMAVs, we only need BiMAVs for
this charge.
APOLLO
Step formation, Small BiMAVs in
front, followed by Medium, then
heavies, then supers. We are
forming into an ideal line for
pounding and charging.
Zeus charges forward firing at the defending robots, half
destroying them on the charge, and half destroying them from
close range plasma, finishing them off.
APOLLO
Fire upon artillery units.
(1st Moon Battle)
SKY LIEUTENANT
Sky commander perhaps we should
deploy our mini drones to swarm the
artillery position ahead.
SKY COMMANDER
Negative that, we are getting
artillery set up as we speak, a
small volley should be coming down
on them shortly.
SKY SUB COMMANDER 1
Eastern forces coming out of crater
now attacking towards Apollo's task
force.
APOLLO
Stand tall men, we are holding this
line. Sky commander can you back us
up with some reinforcements.
SKY COMMANDER
Sending 4 legions, they'll be there
in time, I'd send more but we gotta
keep our rear defensive nodes
strong.
APOLLO
Unpack all STEX and mini-BiMAV
drones. Form a shoulder to shoulder
stepped line except for heavy
BiMAVS which will stay rear and
come in fast to bolster any part of
the line which would be wavering.
SUB SKY COMMANDER 3
Here they come.
APOLLO
All units fire at will.
Watch as BiMAV fire pounds the advancing horde of medium
BiMAVs. They are now being fired upon by the Eastern BiMAV
line, and kills many of the front troops who are being
concentrated on.
SUB SKY COMMANDER 3
Sky Commander enemy BiMAVs forming
up into a tight V formation.
APOLLO
I see their formation they are
going to break through.
(1st Moon Battle)
SKY COMMANDER
Most certainly, Aries, form a semi-
circle around our flank and ready
to pour BiMAVs onto the tip of the
V formation
APOLLO
Should I part our formation to let
their V in.
SKY COMMANDER
Yes and then pull some of your
medium BiMAVs in the region to
flank and fully enclose them with
the Heavies.
SUB SKY COMMANDER 3
I see their primary force it's of
entirely of Super-BiMAVs around 2
to 1 against your numbers overall,
considering heavier weight 4 to 1.
SKY COMMANDER
The legions are coming soon to put
that back to 3 us 2 them.
SUB SKY COMMANDER 3
Actually the enemy have more lights
and heavies behind the Supers, I
assume all of them are packed with
minis.
SKY COMMANDER
I don't care 3.
SUB SKY COMMANDER 3
BUT sir they are going to break
through we have to send more in.
SKY COMMANDER
Shut the hell up 3 I know what I'm
doing.
SUB SKY COMMANDER 3
Whatever.
SKY COMMANDER
Supreme Space Admiral how fares our
fleet.
(1st Moon Battle)
SUPREME WESTERN SPACE ADMIRAL
We are preparing for an all out
offensive push, but we won't be
able to provide you with any
support, but trust me they won't
have any support either.
SKY COMMANDER
We are fine right now but we might
need some later.
SUPREME WESTERN SPACE ADMIRAL
Call if you need a couple critical
targets taken out.
SKY COMMANDER
I am sure it will come to that.
Talk to you then.
SKY COMMANDER
Lunar factory management I need
some Ultras, tons of supers, and
15% medium, 15% light, we've got
enough artillery for now but if we
start to fall back send Artilleries
up the rail train, to strong crater
positions.
LUNAR FACTORY COMMANDER
We are extending rail lines
directly to your most forward
position.
SKY COMMANDER
Just keep on building it further
and further, trust me.
LUNAR FACTORY COMMANDER
But what bout our front line we'll
hit it soon?
SKY COMMANDER
When you get the the front with
that rail line we'll be moving the
front forward.
LUNAR FACTORY COMMANDER
Alright.
CUT BACK IN TIME
TO:
The V formation is nearing the lines and although heavily
damaged, it is still strong as ever.
(1st Moon Battle)
APOLLO
PART NOW!!!!
The BiMAVs move out of the way to let the V formation pass.
APOLLO
As they leave pinch on their flank
and designated warriors follow in
pursuit.
Aries comes charging in firing pounding the newly arriving
enemy BiMAVs as the enemy BiMAVs spread out to cut down the
front lines.
APOLLO
Reform lines to suppress V
infiltration.
LIEUTENANT
What do we do.
APOLLO
Converge on the tip of the V.
ARIES
They are breaking the front line,
we're fighting the lights and
heavies now, it's too god damn
thick we have to pull back.
REINFORCEMENT LEADER
legions come'n to back your ass up,
where to!?
SKY COMMANDER
Split up and guard the artillery on
both sides of the battle.
Sky Commander designates them to be grouped in clusters
around the artillery nodes shaped in a semicircle.
APOLLO
Where are the extra reinforcements
nothing is on the way.
SKY COMMANDER
That's right we should be able to
hold these bogies.
SKY COMMANDER 3
Negative sky commander we have
visual on 17 more enemy legions
coming towards your so called front
line.
