Briefing
SCENE ONE
SCENE SUMMARY:
Greenhorn officer Medly introduces himself to junior commander Esmond.
Esmond plays Ajax's communique to Medly and the two embark shortly thereafter.
ESTABLISHING TEXT:
Platform Cygnus command room
L4 over Alerion Prime
SHOW ESMOND, 3
A COMPUTERIZED CHIRP INDICATES MEDLY'S PRESENCE
ESMOND
Open!
A DOOR SLIDES OPEN, FOLLOWED BY FOOTSTEPS
SHOW MEDLY, 2
MEDLY
Officer Medly, reporting for duty, sir!
ESMOND
You can be at ease. There's no senior officer on deck today. Commander Ajax passed this one onto us.
MEDLY
And you are?
ESMOND
Oh, pardon me - Officer Esmond. I'm not surprised to see another up-and-comer - Alerion's a paradise, nice and distant from the inner worlds.
MEDLY
Paradises don't usually have rebellions brewing. You been here long?
ESMOND
Not even a full cycle! Practically got here yesterday. And you could say the same for those so-called rebels - upsetting the established order before they've even moved in.
MEDLY
They aren't local?
ESMOND
You ask me, someone put them up to it. My money's on the Futurists - they've got no problems letting poorer men fight their battles.
MEDLY
So what should we expect?
ESMOND
I'll let the commander do the briefing. He's good at that.
A CONSOLE IS INTERACTED WITH
SHOW AJAX, 4
AJAX
The Alerion rebels have holed up on the ice moon, and cut off communication with our science team inside Palace of Bathala. This installation is of maximum importance, and it was no small garrison that once guarded it. This means the enemy is well-armed and quite dangerous.
Officer Esmond and the fresh-faced Officer Medly will deploy in one standard hour. The target is a small fortification standing watch over several entrances to the Palace. The enemy will know you've arrived.
I expect a report after the enemy has been cleared. Ajax out.
HIDE AJAX
ESMOND
Come to think of it, I first listened to this two hours ago.
FAST FOOTSTEPS SIGNAL MEDLY'S DEPARTURE
HIDE MEDLY
ESMOND
with a sigh, That guy's gotta lighten up.
