FORUM Episode 2: Mix Things up a Little

''Black screen. Roll opening titles. ''

Cut in to Thoronath's ''bridge crew (clockwise from nearest: WC-83, Angren, Luna, Leaf, and Wolf) surrounded by Maki and White Fang riflemen, from behind Maki. ''

Maki: You thought you had it all figured out, didn't you? Oh, typical. You Vytal people are all so gullible.

''Maki continues talking (indistinct), losing attention in the bridge crew. ''

Luna: I didn't realize we fell for anything, but… ok…

WC-83 looks sharply at Luna .

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"">Angren (grins smugly): and 'boom' goes the dynamite.

<p class="MsoNormal">''<span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Luna shoots Angren a dirty look, but says nothing. ''

<p class="MsoNormal">''<span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Maki suddenly rounds on WC and places her sword at his throat. ''

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"">Maki: …and here, we have you. A mindless servant of the state. You didn't even know what I was being arrested for. I could have been doing something for the greater good. I was, as a matter of fact (smiles arrogantly).

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"">WC-83 (calmly): Doesn't matter. You got put on my ship as a criminal, and my orders were to get you from A to B. I could care less what you were arrested for.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"">Maki (twists sword): Your orders. How quaint.

<p class="MsoNormal">''<span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Maki turns around to face the White Fang riflemen and continues speaking. ''

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"">Angren (whispered): But seriously sir, this is getting ridiculous. She's obviously going to kill us, we might as well give ourselves a chance.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"">WC-83: Are you saying we try to fight our way out? There's four of us. We'd get filled full of bullets in seconds.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"">Wolf (angrily): Five. I'd like to think that I know a thing or two about Dust, having owned a shop on my own for the last five years.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"">Luna (thoughtful): Dust might could even the odds…

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"">Leaf: They won't. If we try to fight, we'll get killed.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"">Luna: Well, at least we're trying to come up with a plan!

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"">Leaf: I have a plan. Look at these guys.

<p class="MsoNormal">''<span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Pan across a line of WF riflemen, leveling their rifles on the crew. Some are staring skeptically at a now-raging Maki. ''

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"">Leaf: They're hired. It's the only way they got out here so fast. Mercenaries tend to side with the highest bidder…

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"">WC-83: Yes. But we have nothing to pay them with.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"">Wolf (snorts): No kidding.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"">Angren: And we can't buy them off anyway. This is White Fang we're talking about here. You could probably find a more deluded militant group on Vytal, but I doubt it.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"">Leaf (rolls eyes): Well then, I'm out.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"">Angren: Wait a minute, Wolf. You said you were good with Dust?

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"">Wolf: I did. Why?

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"">Angren: How good's your quake stomp?

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"">Wolf: Pretty good. Again, why?

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"">Angren: That could give us the distraction we need.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"">Luna: To get out?

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"">Angren (nods): There are too many to fight here. We need to get into the forest and regroup, then hit them while they're out looking for us.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"">WC-83: Túrë, we have crew members inside the ship. Maki doesn't care about us, she just wants blood. She'll butcher the crew and leave, and their blood will be on our hands. No. We have to fight here.

<p class="MsoNormal">''<span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Show bridge crew through sniper crosshairs from the south, high elevation. The crosshairs cut to each member as they say something. ''

<p class="MsoNormal">''<span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Cut out to rifleman's (Ryan) right side. ''

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"">Ryan (whispered): I think they may try to fight their way out.

<p class="MsoNormal">''<span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Cut in close to a bundle of grass in Ryan's belt (Parrot). ''<span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"">Parrot: They'll lose. I'm not even planted, and I can tell there are at least twenty to their five. Plus that woman that's about to have an aneurysm, by the sound of it.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"">Ryan (raises scope): Hmmm.

<p class="MsoNormal">''<span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Cut to crosshairs. Maki is becoming increasingly agitated, now shouting at nothing in particular. ''

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"">Ryan: By the looks of it, those five are pretty tough. They might could pull it off… with some help.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"">Ryan: Nope.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"">Ryan (looks at Parrot): Come on. You always wanted to live with humans, didn't you?

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"">Parrot: The key word is "live".

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"">Ryan (grins, showing wolf fangs): Don't be such a pup.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"">Parrot: I'm not even going pretend to understand that, but whatever. Fine. Let's see what we can do to help…

<p class="MsoNormal">''<span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Scene change. Cut to <span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%; font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Thoronath's bridge, wide shot. ''

<p class="MsoNormal">''<span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Cut in on TOMM's mainframe panel. Reboot sound. TOMM's hologram flickers and appears. ''

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"">TOMM (disgusted): Humans. Quick tempers, slow minds.

<p class="MsoNormal">''<span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">TOMM "cracks his neck" and yawns, then pulls up a holographic window in front of his hologram. ''

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Cut in close to TOMM, scanning the open window--a list of <span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Thoronath's systems.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"">TOMM: What a terrible subroutine. Now, what all happened while I was away…?

<p class="MsoNormal">''<span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">TOMM pulls up a thermal map of the area, then zooms in on the clearing. He sees the <span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Thoronath bridge crew surrounded by Maki and the WF. ''

<p class="MsoNormal">''<span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">TOMM changes the image to full-color, then zooms in on Luna. ''

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"">TOMM: Well, look at that. Karma came knocking, it seems.

<p class="MsoNormal">''<span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">TOMM reopens the list of systems. ''

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"">TOMM: Now, let's see… if I was a human and wanted to piss another human off, what would I--ah, here we go!

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">TOMM opens a window with a 3-D projection of <span style="font-size:12.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Thoronath's ''engines. A list of numbers is scrolling to the right, under a yellow message saying "Warning. Engines entering emergency shutdown." ''

<p class="MsoNormal">''<span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Close-up on TOMM, grinning mischievously. ''

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"">TOMM: Fail-safe… fail-safe… jackpot.

<p class="MsoNormal">''<span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">A large holographic box saying "OVERRIDE" appears over the screen. The button flashes, then disappears. ''

<p class="MsoNormal">''<span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Cut outside to bridge crew. Maki is still preaching, waving her sword about with erratic motions. ''

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"">WC-83: Okay, Wolf? I need you to give us a distraction so we can get to our weapons. But it has to be right on my mark. Got it?

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"">Wolf: Got it.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"">WC-83: Alright everyone, on three, we hit the ground and go for our weapons. One, two--

<p class="MsoNormal">''<span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Loud whoosh. A blast of air from the direction of <span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%; font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Thoronath blows through the crew and riflemen. Some stagger. ''

<p class="MsoNormal">''<span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Close-up on Luna, turning around to face the blast in disbelief. ''

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:12.0pt"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Luna: Oh, he did fucking'' no­-- ''

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:12.0pt">''<span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Cut out to full clearing. <span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height: 115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Thoronath's engines explode, knocking down the riflemen closest to it ''

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:12.0pt"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Luna (looks at explosions in horror): ''ENGINES!! ''

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:12.0pt"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Maki (clenches fists): ''WHAT!? ''

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:12.0pt"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">WC-83 (turns to Wolf): GO!

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:12.0pt">''<span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Wolf raises his right fist, then slams it down on the ground. ''

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:12.0pt">''<span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Zoom out as an entirely Aura-fed shockwave ripples out from Wolf's fist, knocking the riflemen and Maki off their feet. ''

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:12.0pt">''<span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Quick pan through bridge crew as they grab their weapons. WC-83 levels his SMG at Maki. ''

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:12.0pt"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">WC-83: Get them out. Now.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:12.0pt"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Maki (gets to her feet and looks around): ''Kill them! Kill them--''"

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:12.0pt">''<span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Close-up on Ryan firing. ''

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:12.0pt">''<span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">A bullet hits Maki in the leg, causing her to drop to one knee with a yell of pain. ''

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:12.0pt">''<span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Leaf steps forward and points his weapon at Maki. ''

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:12.0pt"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Leaf: Don't even think about it.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:12.0pt"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Maki: I won't. This is a reflex by now.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:12.0pt">''<span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Maki grabs her scabbard with her left hand and fires the hidden flintlock right into Leaf's stomach. Blood. ''

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:12.0pt">''<span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Leaf gasps and drops to his knees, clutching his stomach, then goes unconscious. ''

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:12.0pt">''<span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Maki starts laughing, but WC steps forward and clubs her in the face, knocking her out. ''

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:12.0pt">''<span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Angren and Wolf rush forward and see to Leaf, while Luna moves closer to WC and enters a fighting stance. ''

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:12.0pt"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">WC-83 (looks around): Our problem is with this bitch here (gestures at Maki). Unless you want to end up a hell of a lot worse than her, get out.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:12.0pt">''<span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Pan around clearing. WF riflemen are lowering and shouldering their rifles, then walking back southwards. ''

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:12.0pt">''<span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">A WF officer pauses and walks right up to WC. ''

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:12.0pt"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Officer (scornful): We don't have any interest with you… now. But you just crossed the White Fang, and we don't let that kind of thing go lightly. You've been warned.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:12.0pt">''<span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Officer spits at WC's feet and walks off. ''

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:12.0pt">''<span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">WC turns around and kneels down beside Leaf. Wolf is wrapping Leaf's stomach with a strip from Leaf's jacket, while Angren has a hand on Leaf's forehead. Angren's hand is glowing faintly. ''

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:12.0pt"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">WC-83: Can you move him?

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:12.0pt"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Angren (shakes head): He's lost a lot of blood already. Moving him now could send him into cardiac arrest.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:12.0pt"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">WC-83: So what can you do?

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:12.0pt"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Angren: The bullet broke Leaf's aura. I'm trying to bring it back. If I can do that, he'll pull through. But I don't think he'll come to anytime soon.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:12.0pt"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">WC-83 (claps Angren on the shoulder): Good work.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:12.0pt">''<span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">WC-83 stands up and holsters his SMG, then looks scornfully down at Maki. ''<span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:12.0pt"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">WC-83 (to Luna): I'll lock her up again myself. This time, she won't have the benefit of a cell. (looks at Luna) In the meantime, go have a chat with TOMM. See just what he did to those engines, and if any crew are still alive.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:12.0pt"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Luna: Yes, sir.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:12.0pt"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">WC-83: And I expect him to be intact when you're done.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:12.0pt"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Luna (looks at engines): I… can't make any promises there, captain.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:12.0pt"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">WC-83 (sighs): At the very least, leave him so that we can get him off the ship.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:12.0pt">''<span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Luna walks off in the direction of the bridge. WC looks again at Maki in disgust. ''

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:12.0pt"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Ryan (off-screen): Sorry about that shot.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:12.0pt">''<span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Pan to show Ryan (with his helmet off (wolf ears)) walking toward WC with his rifle shouldered. ''

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:12.0pt"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">WC-83 (turns to face him): So that was you?

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:12.0pt"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Ryan (stops): Aye. (bows slightly) Ryan Orusio, of Menagerie, at your service.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:12.0pt"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">WC-83 (skeptical): Double agent?

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:12.0pt"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Ryan: Cartographer. Problem is, the only way to map Tauremorna and live to tell is if you have a group to run with. Just my luck, the only group that has a presence here is White Fang. They didn't mind too much, me being a Faunus and all, but they were a pain in the ass to work with.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:12.0pt"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">WC-83: Tauremorna? Is that what this forest is called?

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:12.0pt"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Ryan (looks askance at WC): You're… not from this region, are you?

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:12.0pt"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">WC-83 (shakes his head): I'm from Vale, most of the crew is as well.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:12.0pt"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Ryan: Well then. You just landed in one of the only unmapped segments of Vytal. And there's a reason for that. People stay away from Tauremorna, and you were cutting it pretty close by even trying to fly over it to begin with.
