The Short Journey "TEAM 01"

Chapter 1 - "The Journey Starts"

SCENE:
THE SUN IS SETTING IN THE DISTANCE. THE SOUND OF A BUSTLING CITY STARTS TO RECEDE. THE NIGHT HAS BEGUN AND THE AIR STARTED TO CHANGE. IT WAS GETTING COOL AND CRISP. EVER SINCE THE PLANETS CLIMATE CHANGE BECAME AN ISSUE THE WEATHER WAS SO SPORADIC. SOME DAYS IT WOULD BE COLD, AND SOME DAYS IT WOULD BE HOT AND SOMETIMES YOU WOULD HAVE IT ALL AT ONE TIME. THE HUMANS AREN'T THE ONLY ONES SUFFERING FROM THE CHANGES. THE ANIMALS ARE ALSO FEELING THE EFFECTS OF THE CHANGES. BIRDS ARE DISAPPEARING, AND FISH AREN'T BEING FOUND IN THE DEEP OCEANS. THEY FEEL THE CHANGES EFFECTING THEM AND THE HUMANS CAN'T SEEM TO FIX THE PROBLEMS. IN FACT THERE IS A LEADING SCIENTIST WHO IS EMPLOYED THROUGH THE USFD "UNIFIED STAR FORCE DIVISION". HE HAS MADE A RECENT DISCOVERY THAT WILL CHANGE LIFE ON THE PLANET FOREVER. THE VEIW OF THE USFD HEADQUARTERS IS SOMETHING TO AW IN. IT IS MASSIVE IN SIZE, DOUBLING THE SIZE OF THE OLD PENTAGON IN THE USA. WHEN THEY ESTABLISHED THE HEADQUARTERS FOR USFD THEY FELT IT NEEDED TO BE A STATEMENT OF KNOWLEDGE AND POWER FOR THE HUMANS. THEY DISSOLVED THE UNITED NATIONS AND OTHER COUNTRIES GOVERNMENTS. INSTEAD THEY DECIDED TO PUT BEHIND THEIR DIFFERENCES AND COME TOGETHER AS ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT. THE USFD FELT IT BE BEST TO PUT THE NEW HQ IN THE COUNTRY OF EUROPE. THE WORLD LEADERS FELT THEY NEEDED TO HAVE ONE LEADER TO GOVERN THE PLANET AND ALL IT'S DECISIONS. SO THE LEADER LIVES AT HQ. GENERAL CHURCHILL SITS IN HIS OFFICE AT HIS DESK. HE IS STEADY TYPING ON HIS COMPUTER. HE IS THE DESCENDANT OF THE GREAT WINSTON CHURCHILL AND IT'S ONE OF THE REASONS WHY HE WAS VOTED AS THE LEADER OF THE PLANET. HE DISPLAYED GREAT QUALITIES JUST LIKE HIS PAST RELATIVE. THE FOOT STEPS OF SOMEONE RUNNING OUTSIDE HIS OFFICE CAUGHT HIS ATTENTION. HE THEN HEARD HIS SECRETARY TELLING SOMEONE THAT HE WAS NOT TO BE DISTURBED. HE HEARD A COMMOTION AND HIS OFFICE DOOR BUSTS OPEN. HE LOOKS UP FROM HIS COMPUTER AND SEES THIS SKINNY AND PALE MAN. HE LOOKS AT HIM CLOSELY AND REALIZES IT LOOKS LIKE THIS MAN HASN'T SLEPT IN MONTHS, MAYBE YEARS. HE WAS WEARING A WHITE JACKET AND HAD A BADGE ON HIS COAT POCKET DANGLING. IT SAYS SCIENCE DIVISION. HE TAKES HIS GLASSES OFF HIS FACE AND PINCHES THE BRIDGE OF HIS NOSE WHERE THE GLASSES WERE PRESSED TIGHTLY.

Leader: Can I help you?

SCENE:
THE PALE SKINNY MAN TAKES A DEEP BREATH AND TURNS AND CLOSES THE DOOR BEHIND HIM. THE SECRETARY WATCHES IN THE NEXT ROOM AS HE SHUTS THE DOOR. THE MAN TURNS AROUND AND APPROACHES THE LEADERS DESK.

Pale Skinny Man: Yes sir, I wanted to present some new information regarding the climate changes.

Leader: What?! Where is Professor Gordon?

Pale Skinny Man: Well sir, he doesn't know I'm here.

Leader: Oh, why is that?

Pale Skinny Man: Well he doesn't seem to think my discovery is accurate. He thinks I fudged the results.

Leader: Oh, well why would he think that?

Pale Skinny Man: Well I'm not really well known in the science division. However your leadership, I feel the information I have is crucial to the existence of life on this planet as we know it.

Leader: I'm listening Mr......

Pale Skinny Man: Oh, It's Shah Nirav sir. You can call me Shah your excellence.

Leader: Okay, Shah. You can call me Mr. Churchill.

Shah Nirav: Thank you. As you can see the results of my finding are true and there is no way it can be inaccurate.

Mr. Churchill: Bring it to me.

SCENE:
SHAH NIRAV APPROACHED THE FRONT OF MR. CHURCHILL'S DESK. HE HANDED HIM THE TABLET WITH THE INFORMATION ON IT. MR. CHURCHILL GRABS HIS GLASSES OFF HIS DESK AND PUTS THEM ON HIS FACE. AS HE BEGINS TO READ THE INFORMATION ON THE TABLET HIS EYES BEGIN TO SWELL UP AND HE CAN'T BELIEVE WHAT HE IS READING. HE LOOKS UP AT SHAH NIRAV AND HANDS HIM HIS TABLET BACK.
