NARRATOR
(V.O.)
Once upon a time, in the next galaxy over
there, right over there you know - that one....
CUT TO:
We see a beautiful, colorful spiral of stars, and planets in the most spectacular vibrance, more than
the typical galaxy plotted against the blackness of space.
NARRATOR (cont'd)
(V.O.)
But here on planet Ugh there lived a scientist, in fact it was a parallel
world to, 'Darn' in every way except for one thing, (beat) he was the
last scientist, and he believed his planet, 'Ugh' was the only
planet in the entire Universe that had intelligent life on it - until
one day he noticed something. Something wonderful.
PAN to the next Galaxy over, but it's not as vibrant in color.
NARRATOR (cont'd)
(V.O.)
Because here JACK was the only scientist on the entire planet of
Ugh, a super genius to say the least, he had built the only existing
Space Telescope, a one-man Space R and D really, and Jack
noticed a tech signature on the third planet from a sun in a solar system
within the bright galaxy.

INT. - SPACE OBSERVATION LAB - NIGHT
CLOSE ON Jack staring at computer-generated data on a large LED display.
JACK
Well, I'll be darn.
CAROL enters the room.
CAROL
You'll be darn about what?
JACK
I found intelligent life in the vibrant Prime Galaxy. Undeniable
tech signature.
CAROL
(Excited)
Get out, seriously?! We have to call a meeting with all your
students.
JACK
I'm sorry Carol, but I'm leaving this all behind.
CAROL
But your science students. This is our last chance to make it right,
to correct past mistakes. What do you mean by 'leaving this all
behind' anyway?
JACK
(Points at the small blue dot on the screen)
I'm going there to Darn.
PULL BACK:
Carol laughs while standing over Jack.
NARRATOR
(V.O.)
Little did Carol know that Jack had built a Quantum Laser capable
of traversing space, and time in almost a blink of an eye, and that
he was going to leave it all behind, including his body.
I'm planning on sending just my mind.
ZOOM in fast - back to Jack, and Carol at the console with the monitor.
CAROL
You're narrating out loud in third person again. Quantum Laser?
JACK
This planet is dying Carol, and I can't train students fast enough to
find solutions that can save it. (beat) We can all go. You, me, all the
students, the only thing is we will inhabit other people's minds, and
they will forget who they are. (beat) It's not fair to them, but it's the
only way to save what's left of us. A place to start over anew, It's
sustainable like Ugh, an exact duplicate. We blew it here Carol, and it's
now or never to leave.
CAROL
Gather the students?
JACK
(Smiling with teary eyes)
Gather the students.
