INT. MILITARY AIRCRAFT - DAY
Four individuals in advanced special ops gear sit on a bench two on one side, and two on the other
across the aisle, they're cycling their weapons, and double checking each others parachute packs.
The oldest male soldier looks at the female soldiers on the other side, they look back making eye
contact.
DAD
Daughter. Sister. Ready?
DAUGHTER
Ready. Dad are you, and Brother ready?
DAD
Ready.
They put their helmets on simultaneously then move to the back of the aircraft, the rear ramp opens,
and they jump out single file in a timed coordinated effort, suddenly they're falling toward a dull
concrete structure in the middle of a flat frozen ice field - icy hills, and mountains can be seen in the
background, the ground is close now, and they deploy their chutes to open one after another. Just as
the last chute opens, a hail of tracer bullets wizz past the soldiers as they float down, but before
anyone is shot all four soldiers release their chutes, and cruise at great speed in deployed wing suits.
They zip past the Gatlin gun turrets, and hit open their secondary parachutes just on the backside of the
building landing hard. A loud whirring buzz is heard, the team look up.
DAD
Tesla drones! Cloaks!
All four commandos disappear into the environment around them as they flip a mirror blanket over
themselves, a hail of bullet spray comes from the drones ricocheting off the impenetrable invisible
cloaks the elite squad are now hiding under.

INT. WHITE HOUSE, OVAL OFFICE - CONTINUOUS
POTUS Davies stands at the window pondering with a concerned look on his face.
Chief of Staff Fenwick is sitting on the couch. POTUS turns around, walks to his desk, and sits.
POTUS
How can this happen John?
JOHN
Sir, mission Red Ice Apocalypse is under way, you're needed in the
war room. (beat) Mr. President? You mean nukes under the ice at the
top of the world?
POTUS
No, I mean how did we let them talk us in to allowing family members
to train as an elite military unit?
JOHN
Rhetorical. Sir you only do that when you're angry or just got some
new intel. What is it?
POTUS
They're going to finally announce themselves officially to the world.
JOHN
Why?! Why now?
POTUS
They think the families won't succeed this mission, and they want
to personally intervene to save the day. (beat) To save the world, and
when they do that, then the world will accept them, at least that's
what they believe. If we say no, then no more toys, and the end of
benevolence.
JOHN
(angrily)
Oh that's just a bunch of bullshit sir, we can't let that happen!
POTUS
I know.

END OPENING SCENES.
Dear reader, originally I was going to add several extra opening scenes including more commando
battle with two flashbacks to show how the family oriented elite military unit came to be, but I decided
to think about my next idea, and move on from this one, basically because I paused for a lengthy time,
and lost interest, also it was headed down the over convoluted road of ridiculousness, besides I know
nothing about the Call of Duty franchise, and was too lazy to do research. Someday I'd like to see
Hollywood make a terrific adaption done right for the big screen with all the expert consultants
involved coming from the gaming industry.
