  101. Rob: You're Gene Starwind? You mean to tell me a runt like you took out Butch?
  102.  
  103. Gene: Oh yeah, Butch. That scraggly guy who started a brawl here last month. Hey, for a
  104. wimp I made some good money off of him.

  112.  
  113. Gene: So you're Rob Kane. 'Deaf' Rob?
  114.  
  115. Rob: That's death! Aaah!!! Uhhh....
  116.  
  117. Jim: He's not down, Gene, that guy's a cyborg!
  118.  
  119. Rob: Uwahh!
  120.  
  121. Rob: So, if you didn't have a gun, would you run away?
  122.  
  123. Gene: Only when I don't have one.
  124.  
  125. Rob: That doesn't work.
  126.  
  127. Jim: Gene, he's a type C! Go for the 'botic line in his side.
  128.  
  129. Gene: Ok, got it.

  131. Gene: Ok, Clyde, you can call the sheriff now.
  132.  
  133. Iris: Gene! I was so scared.
  134.  
  135. Gene: Ah, Iris, it's okay now.
  136.  
  137. Jim: Hah! Is that why you have your hand on her ass?
  138.  
  139. Clyde: So you think everything's ok, Gene? And what about the damage to my bar?
  140.  
  141. Gene: Jim, what's the bounty on this Death Rob guy?
  142.  
  143. Jim: 4000 wong.
  144.  
  145. Gene: Pay the repairs, and deposit what's left. Tonight I'm gonna hit the town!
  146.  
  147.  
  148. Jim: So, what do ya wanna do Gene, do you get something good to eat, do you want to hit the
  149. casino, I was thinking maybe you wanna go... hmmm...
  150.  
  151. Jim: Boy, you don't see that everyday. Somebody other than the regular flight coming to Sentinel.
  152.  
  153. Gene: Alright! Jim, tonight we're gonna be going our separate ways.
  154.  
  155. Jim: Huh? But Gene, why?
  156.  
  157. Gene: I'm going someplace that doesn't interest kids, all right?
  158.  
  159. Jim: Hey! The girls always roll out the red carpet when I come along!
  160.  
  161. Gene: Okay, then you wanna come with me and become a real man tonight?
  162.  
  163. Jim: Uhh, ahh, I don't think so.
  164.  
  165. Gene: Catch ya later!
  166.  
  167. Jim: Oh! Gene Starwind, you scumbag!
  168.  
  169.  
  170. Old Man: Are we certain that Hilda has fled to this world?
  171.  
  172. Girl Pirate: 3 days ago, we assume. If she's avoided all our traps, this limits her to this area.
  173.  
  174. Tall Pirate: Search for her!
  175.  
  176.  
  177. Club Temptation Girl: Gene, are you going into space someday? As good as you are, I'm sure you'll
  178. be okay. What do you think you're gonna be doing up there? Treasure hunting? Bounty hunting? Or
  179. are you just going to be a romantic and look for adventure?
  180.  
  181. Gene: No, pirate hunting.
  182.  
  183. Club Temptation Girl: Ha ha ha, that's not possible.
  184.  
  185. Gene: Yeah, I guess. I've never been up there. And I don't have a ship to call my own.
  186.  
  187. Club Temptation Girl: Hey, don't get all serious on me.
  188.  
  189. Gene: Right.
  190.  
  191.  
  192. Jim: Hey Gene, its almost noon! Get outta bed and give me a hand down here! We've got that
  193. tractor repair job waiting for us this afternoon we gotta get done for Henry.
  194.  
  195. Gene: A job for 150 wongs, can't get myself out of bed for something that small.
  196.  
  197. Jim: When did you finally get back last night?
  198.  
  199. Gene: 5 this morning.
  200.  
  201. Jim: You probably haven't heard yet so I better tell you... That ship came down, the one last
  202. night. It was a pirate ship.
  203.  
  204. Gene: Pirates?
  205.  
  206. Jim: I dont' know what organization it was with.
  207.  
  208. Jim: C'mon, Oh...
  209.  
  210. Gene: What about quarantine?
  211.  
  212. Jim: The space forces don't come down here. So, you just need to grease some palms.
  213.  
  214. Gene: I don't get it, what is it they possibly could be interested in down here on Sentinel?
  215.  
  216. Jim: I don't know, Gene, you're asking the wrong guy. Huh?
  217.  
  218. Jim: Hello, you've reached Hawking from Starwind & Hawking Repairs. We fix everything from
  219. tractors, to relationships, so how can we help you today?
  220.  
  221. Rachel: I have a job for you.
  222.  
  223. Jim: Okeydokey. Could you give me the particulars?
  224.  
  225. Rachel: Lets see, if its not too much trouble, I'd like to order a few special parts, and I'd
  226. also like a body guard.
  227.  
  228. Jim: I see. Very well then. And your name lady?
  229.  
  230. Rachel: My name's Rachel. And thank you.
  231.  
  232. ---------------------
  233.  
  234. Eyecatch
  235.  
  236. ---------------------
  237.  
  238. Gene: Well?
  239.  
  240. Jim: Gosh Gene, that lady asked for some real serious hardware.
  241.  
  242. Gene: Hey Jim, she's a customer! And a real babe.
  243.  
  244. Jim: Women will be the death of you some day.
  245.  
  246. Gene: Right. I can't forget to include that in my plan for an ideal life. Hey, she gave you
  247. money to order the parts, didn't she?
  248.  
  249. Jim: Mmm hmm. It's been deposited in our account. But its stuff like bioelements, organic
  250. system parts, and some nanotech. Ya know, this stuff is hard to get Gene. And its real
  251. expensive. Makes me wanna know what she needs them for.
  252.  
  253. Gene: You check her ID?
  254.  
  255. Jim: All green. Appears to be safe.
  256.  
  257. Gene: Hmm...Well okay, I guess I'll just have to go meet our Miss Safe and see how 'safe' she
  258. really is.
  259.  
  260. Jim: Why do you think Miss Safe would need a bodyguard? Here, I've input all the data for
  261. you. Take it.
  262.  
  263. Gene: I'll see you at the usual place then.
  264.  
  265. Jim: Hmm... okay.
  266.  
  267.  
  268. Clyde: That's right, I'd be happy to pour you another when you finish the first one.
  269.  
  270. Iris: I hate it when we always get these animals after Gene gets into a fight.
  271.  
  272. Clyde: Now don't be like that, we're pulling in money because of it.
  273.  
  274. Iris: Oh, I hate him. Look at him flirting away with that girl over there.
  275.  
  276. Clyde: Don't be so jealous.
  277.  
  278. Gene: So Tell me, who's the bodyguard for?
  279.  
  280. Rachel: For me, I didn't know that this place could be so dangerous for the inexperienced like
  281. myself.
  282.  
  283. Gene: This your first time to Locus? You sightseeing? Heh, well there's nothing to see.
  284.  
  285. Rachel: It's my job, it's for my father.
  286.  
  287. Gene: So, how long would you say you need a bodyguard for?
  288.  
  289. Rachel: I'll need you to start right now, until I leave the area and my job is done.
  290.  
  291. Gene: It'll be 800 a day plus any expenses.
  292.  
  293. Rachel: Very well then.
  294.  
  295. Gene: Okay, we have ourselves a deal.
  296.  
  297. Rachel: Mmmm... With you around Gene, I think my job will be much more pleasent.
  298.  
  299. Gene: What's taking Jim so long? I'm sorry, he should be here by now.
  300.  
  301. Rachel: That's alright.
  302.  
  303. Gene: Where are we headed, anyway?
  304.  
  305. Rachel: To an agroplant thats located 30 kilometers to the northeast.
  306.  
  307. Gene: What? Thats out in the middle of the wheat fields.
  308.  
  309. Rachel: Uh huh. You see, I have to do some major repairs on the farm equipment thats out there.
  310.  
  311. Gene: Is that why she ordered bioelements? Hmm...
  312.  
  313. Gene: Does this guy happen to be a friend of yours?
  314.  
  315. Rachel: Uh uh.
  316.  
  317. Pirate: You, leave the woman and walk away! Otherwise, you're a dead man!
  318.  
  319. Gene: Heh, this is great, just great. Do you realize you're threatening Gene Starwind? That's
  320. right, c'mon!
  321.  
  322. Gene: Playtime's over!
  323.  
  324. Jim: Waiting long? I got hung up at the shop. What'cha been doing? huh?
  325.  
  326. Gene: You are late!
  327.  
  328. Jim: Who were those guys anyway?
  329.  
  330. Gene: I don't know.
  331.  
  332. Jim: Well, guess we should get going.
  333.  
  334. Gene: Yep.
  335.  
  336. Gene: I have a bad feeling about this. But a job's a job.
  337.  
  338. Gene: Let's roll!
  339.  
  340.  
  341. Gene: Didn't I tell you to check it over before you left?
  342.  
  343. Jim: You don't restore a classic like this then drive it all over the place.
  344.  
  345.  
  346. Jim: Maybe I was just being paranoid. This job seems simpler than I thought it would. Maybe
  347. those guys that attacked you just then thought you were somebody else. Those guys had pirate
  348. guild written all over them. There's no way that pirates would be after someone like Rachel.
  349. You know what Gene? If you take the next offramp its a straight shot the rest of the way.
  350.  
  351. Gene: Yeah, I know.
  352.  
  353. Jim: Gene, it's them, the pirates!
  354.  
  355. Girl Pirate: Okay, playtime's done now. Can't fool us anymore. Come out and we'll spare your
  356. life, Hilda.
  357.  
  358. Jim: Hilda? Hilda?! Hilda?!
  359.  
  360. Hilda: Close your eyes! Floor it!
  361.  
  362. Old Man: Damn you, Hilda!
  363.  
  364. Tall Pirate: I'll handle this. Aaaah Uh sung fung! Uh sung fung! Uh sung fung!
  365.  
  366. Old Man and Girl Pirate: Pa gu a sun fa Pa gu a sun fa Pa gu a sun fa Pa gu a sun fa.
  367.  
  368.  
  369. Gene: Okay, tell us how much is a lie and how much is true?
  370.  
  371. Hilda: Rachel is purely a fictious name. The part about me needing a bodyguard however is real.
  372.  
  373. Gene: Okay, so your real name is Hilda. Why are those pirates after you?
  374.  
  375. Hilda: I'm their enemy. We're after the same treasure.
  376.  
  377. Jim: Treasure? This is bad news Gene! Lets get outta here!
  378.  
  379. Gene: You don't think they'll let us go do ya? Here they come.
  380.  
  381. Jim: What the hell is that?
  382.  
  383. Gene: They're using Tao magic! Hilda, take the wheel.
  384.  
  385. Gene: Jim, short barreled blaster!
  386.  
  387. Jim: Got it!
  388.  
  389. Jim: Ha ha! How do you like that?
  390.  
  391. Tall Pirate: Fung Hu Pai!
  392.  
  393. Jim: Uh...
  394.  
  395. Tall Pirate: Vega!
  396.  
  397. Gene: Dodge it!
  398.  
  399. Gene: Bastard!
  400.  
  401. Gene: Let's rock!
  402.  
  403. Tall Pirate: Pa gu a sun fa Pa gu a sun fa Hah hah!
  404.  
  405. Gene: Uhh...
  406.  
  407. Jim: No way...
  408.  
  409. Tall Pirate: Ha ha ha ha! Pa gu a sun fa Pa gu a sun fa
  410.  
  411. Gene: Jim, give me a #3.
  412.  
  413. Jim: We only have one of those bullets left.
  414.  
  415. Gene: Just give it to me!
  416.  
  417. Hilda: A caster?!
  418.  
  419. Gene: Eat this, bastard!
  420.  
  421. Tall Pirate: Aaaaaahhhhh!
  422.  
  423. Girl Pirate: They've been killed.
  424.  
  425. Old Man: It seems that we've underestimated our enemies.
  426.  
  427.  
  428. Jim: Mission Completed!
  429.  
  430. Hilda: I appreciate what you've done.
  431.  
  432. Gene: Uhhh....
  433.  
  434. Jim: Oh god, Gene!
  435.  
  436. Hilda: Hold it. I've still got some work for you to do.
  437.  
  438.  
  439. Hilda: Okay, pull out that trunk. Load it into the car.
  440.  
  441. Gene: Tell me Hilda...what's in the trunk?
  442.  
  443. Hilda: How did you...
  444.  
  445. Jim: Gene!
  446.  
  447. Gene: Sorry there buddy but it looks like we're gonna have to write off your personal assistant.
  448. Shall we see what's in there?
  449.  
  450. Jim: It's an electonic lock! I need the code number!
  451.  
  452. Gene: What is it, Hilda?
  453.  
  454. Hilda: It's not in your best interest to open that.
  455.  
  456. Gene: What's the code?
  457.  
  458. Hilda: VSDO2C.
  459.  
  460. Jim: Okay, that did it! Gene, look at that.
  461.  
  462. Gene: Huh, what the hell, what is it?

  519.  
  520. Jim: Wa...?

  533. Jim: Right, if you say so. It's just that women always make you screw up.
  534.  
  535. Gene: Yeah right. Before you fix her arm, hide the car and get ready for our guests to arrive.
  536.  
  537. Jim: Gotcha.
  538.  
  539.  
  540. Jim: This is nanopromethius, its top of the line!
  541.  
  542. Gene: Okay, who the hell are you, I've waited long enough!
  543.  
  544. Hilda: The name's Hilda. I'm an outlaw.
  545.  
  546. Gene: Oh come on, spare us. Here on Sentinel, everbody in this dog calls themself an outlaw.
  547. Gonna have to do better than that, tell us who you really are!
  548.  
  549. Hilda: There's nothing to it, really. I'm an outlaw who got into a bit of trouble with some
  550. pirates. We're after the same treasure, so I fled to this planet.
  551.  
  552. Gene: You came from space?
  553.  
  554. Hilda: That's right.
  555.  
  556. Gene: On your own ship?
  557.  
  558. Hilda: I left my ship back in orbit. I just came down on the dropship, thats all.
  559.  
  560. Gene: Why would this girl be such a treasure to those pirates?
  561.  
  562. Hilda: Who knows... They wanted her, so I decided I would swipe her from them.
  563.  
  564. Gene: Oh yeah sure, I get it now. Right. What do you think I am, dumb?
  565.  
  566. Hilda: You have to understand, the trouble between us didn't start with this, lets just say
  567. I have a bad history with them, okay?
  568.  
  569. Jim: Hey, try to move it now.
  570.  
  571. Gene: Now tell me so I can understand.
  572.  
  573. Hilda: I'm always looking for a reason to hate pirates?
  574.  
  575. Gene: Well now, the pirates have a reason to hate you, am I right?
  576.  
  577. Hilda: A while back, when I was pushed too far I took out one of the guild's leaders. It cost
  578. me though.
  579.  
  580. Jim: All done.
  581.  
  582. Gene: If you don't give me a straight answer its gonna cost you even more. What the hell makes
  583. that girl such a special prize?
  584.  
  585. Computer: Resesitation in 360 seconds.
  586.  
  587. Hilda: Once she wakes up ask her yourself.
  588.  
  589. Gene: So you're just gonna keep playing dumb.
  590.  
  591. Jim: The pirates!
  592.  
  593. Gene: Right, kill the lights.
  594.  
  595. Old Man: We know you're in there, and we know you can hear us. Now hand over Melfina! You have
  596. nothing that can stand against us...
  597.  
  598. Hilda: I won't ask you to help just stay out of my way.
  599.  
  600. Gene: Don't you think its a little later for that now?
  601.  
  602. Jim: Gene!
  603.  
  604. Computer: Resesitation in 300 seconds.
  605.  
  606. Gene: Now we have to stay alive until Melfina wakes up. Jim, give me a number 3 shell.
  607.  
  608. Jim: We're out!
  609.  
  610. Gene: What do you mean we can't be out! I can't take that old man with just regular bullets.
  611.  
  612. Jim: We've only got one number 5 and a number 19.
  613.  
  614. Gene: One 5 and one 19? Alright then, give it to me.
  615.  
  616. Jim: Uhh... these are expensive, you know.
  617.  
  618. Hilda: Could you guys hold them off for just a few minutes?
  619.  
  620. Gene: What about you?
  621.  
  622. Hilda: Melfina can't be moved while she's being resusitated. But if we stick around here, we're
  623. dead. I've been thinking, if you two could just hold them off for a while then I'd have enough
  624. time to go get my dropship.
  625.  
  626. Jim: She wants to run, Gene. You don't believe her, do ya?
  627.  
  628. Gene: None of this makes sense Jim, but I've decided. You go with her while I stay with Melfina.
  629.  
  630. Jim: Huh? I'm going with her?
  631.  
  632. Gene: If she tries to skip out, make her regret it.
  633.  
  634. Jim: Damnit, I'm supposed to be the brains of this outfit.
  635.  
  636. Gene: Jim, hop to it. Lets get this party started.
  637.  
  638. Jim: Gotcha.
  639.  
  640.  
  641. Pirates: Pa gu a sun fa Pa gu a sun fa.
  642.  
  643. Girl Pirate: Go!
  644.  
  645. Old Man: Alright, I'll handle this. Pa gu a sun fa. Pa gu a sun fa. Pa gu a sun fa.
  646.  
  647.  
  648. Jim: Where is it?
  649.  
  650. Hilda: I sank it by this pond.
  651.  
  652. Jim: Make it quick, will ya?
  653.  
  654. Hilda: You like Gene, don't ya Jim?
  655.  
  656. Jim: Huh?
  657.  
  658. Hilda: Everybody needs a partner.
  659.  
  660. Jim: Uh.
  661.  
  662. Hilda: You'll understand soon enough.
  663.  
  664.  
  665. Gene: Shit, that guy's a Tao master.
  666.  
  667.  
  668. Old Man: Old Magic?
  669.  
  670. Girl Pirate: Out here on the frontier?
  671.  
  672. Gene: Not bad for a number 5, that just leaves me with a number 19. Time to take em all down.
  673. That's it, game over old man!
  674.  
  675. Gene: It's a dud!
  676.  
  677. Gene: Ah!! Aww shit...
  678.  
  679. Old Man: Pa gu a sun fa. Pa gu a sun fa.
  680.  
  681. Girl Pirate: Get them! Kill everyone but Melfina!
  682.  
  683.  
  684. Old Man: Hilda...
  685.  
  686. Girl Pirate: It's too dangerous, regroup!
  687.  
  688. Pirates: Pa gu a sun fa. Pa gu a sun fa. Pa gu a sun fa.
  689.  
  690. Gene: Talk about overkill.
  691.  
  692. Computer: Resusitation complete. Resusitation complete. Now activating.
  693.  
  694. Melfina: Heading toward star space calnder year 156. The G line project has been found successful.
  695.  
  696. Gene: Melfina?
  697.  
  698. Melfina: Why... why did I have to be born?
  699.  
  700. Jim: Gene, this isn't the time to make a lady cry.
  701.  
  702. Gene: It wasn't me.
  703.  
  704. Jim: Whatever, just get Melfina out back, Hilda's waiting for us out there.
  705.  
  706. Gene: Alright, Jim. But first we have to get sleeping beauty here dressed.
  707.  
  708. Jim: Yeah, kinda distracting. Hmmm?
  709.  
  710. Hilda: You ready down there? Let's go.
  711.  
  712. Gene: Sounds like you 2 are hitting it off.
  713.  
  714. Jim: We reached an understanding.
  715.  
  716.  
  717. Old Man: They're trying to get away.
  718.  
  719. Girl Pirate: After that ship!
  720.  
  721. Hilda: Move it!
  722.  
  723. Gene: Huh?
  724.  
  725. Old Man: Pa gu a sun fa. Pa gu a sun fa. Pa gu a sun fa.
  726.  
  727. Gene: Oh man...
  728.  
  729. Old Man: Damn you Hilda. Do you really think you can escape the guild and take Melfina with you?
  730.  
  731.  
  732. Hilda: I'm leaving orbit. And this system. So what'll it be, are you 2 coming along?
  733.  
  734. Jim: You're damn right, we haven't gotten out money yet! Isn't that right, Gene?
  735.  
  736. Hilda: What's the story with him?
  737.  
  738. Jim: Ah, it's nothing. Gene's a space cherry.
  739.  
  740. Gene: I'm not a cherry. My first time I was just way too young, thats all.
  741.  
  742. Hilda: You're an odd one alright.
  743.  
  744. Jim: Hang in there Gene, don't worry. Here, why don't you hold my hand?
  745.  
  746. Gene: No thanks. Anyway, I prefer women.
  747.  
  748.  
  749. Hilda: Alright Horis lay on the shortest course to Blue Heaven.
  750.  
  751. Horis: Roger.
  752.  
  753. Jim: Hey, what's Blue Heaven, Gene?
  754.  
  755. Gene: A free town, considered an outlaw hangout.
  756.  
  757. Hilda: And Horace can get us there in just 2 jumps.
  758.  
  759. Horis: 10... 9... 8... 7... 6... 5... 4...
  760.  
  761. Jim: Oh god Gene, why don't you just pass out already?
  762.  
  763. Horis: 3... 2... 1...
  764.  
  765. Gene: Yaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!!
  766.  
  767. ---------------------------
  768.  
  769. Eyecatch
  770.  
  771. ---------------------------
  772.  
  773. Gene: Hey dad, I learned all the controls already.
  774.  
  775.  
  776. Gene: Ahh! Dad, wait!
  777.  
  778. Gene's Father: Sorry Gene, but I want you to live.
  779.  
  780. Gene: No Dad, don't do it!
  781.  
  782. Gene's Father: Good luck, my son.
  783.  
  784. Gene: Daaaaaad!!!!! Noooooo!!!
  785.  
  786.  
  787. Gene: Uhh... Help me.
  788.  
  789. Hilda: You decide to wake up?
  790.  
  791. Gene: You got a problem with that?
  792.  
  793. Hilda: No I don't, if you can keep quiet.
  794.  
  795. Horis: We have reached Blue Heaven Space.
  796.  
  797. Horis: Blue Heaven Network access complete. Now displaying usable docks.
  798.  
  799. Hilda: Alright Horis, use dock 8.
  800.  
  801. Horis: Aye, dock 8 selected. Preparing to dock at Blue Heaven. Dock 8 to be route 221.
  802. Transferring to auto pilot mode. 3... 2... 1... Now on auto pilot.
  803.  
  804. Hilda: Gene, are you scared of space?
  805.  
  806. Gene: No, I wouldn't say that.
  807.  
  808. Hilda: Well, what is it then?
  809.  
  810. Gene: Just bad memories, that's all.
  811.  
  812. Hilda: Bad memories, huh?
  813.  
  814. Gene: Hilda, have you been in space a long time?
  815.  
  816. Hilda: Long time... I guess you might say that.
  817.  
  818. Gene: There you go, dodging my questions again.
  819.  
  820. Jim: Hey Gene, you're finally awake. Good to see you're alive.
  821.  
  822. Gene: Lay off, will ya?
  823.  
  824. Jim: Aww... That's just too cute.
  825.  
  826. Gene: Yeah, I'll show you cute.
  827.  
  828.  
  829. Jim: So, are you okay Gene?
  830.  
  831. Gene: Yeah, I'm fine.
  832.  
  833. Gene: I'll take this over a spaceship anyday.
  834.  
  835. Jim: I guess you're cherry's officially popped now
  836.  
  837. Gene: Okay, drop it I'm fine you got it, unless you wanna make something
  838.  
  839. Swanzo: Hilda, how long has it been. Can ya hang out for a while?
  840.  
  841. Hilda: Not right now. i need you to resupply and repair Horis.
  842.  
  843. Swanzo: Got it. Just leave it to me.
  844.  
  845. Jim: Check it out Gene, a corbonite. I've never seen one before.
  846.  
  847. Gene: Yeah.
  848.  
  849. Swanzo: Who are they? Are you a tour guide now, Hilda?
  850.  
  851. Hilda: Heh. Let's leave it at that, Swanzo.
  852.  
  853. Swanzo: (laughs) Actually, I've got a message for you. But uh...
  854.  
  855. Hilda: It's alright, you can tell it here.
  856.  
  857. Swanzo: McCoy says he can't make it.
  858.  
  859. Hilda: Why not?
  860.  
  861. Swanzo: I'm not sure, looks like he didn't want to get mixed up with a bunch of pirates.
  862.  
  863. Hilda: Aww... he's nothing but a big chicken.
  864.  
  865. Swanzo: I have one other piece of bad news. The McDougal brothers have been asking about you.
  866.  
  867. Hilda: Damn bunch of fools.
  868.  
  869. Gene: Hey hey hey hey McCoy this, McDougal that, when are you people gonna start talking some
  870. sense?
  871.  
  872. Swanzo: Heh. Don't butt into an adult conversation, kid.
  873.  
  874. Gene: Did you call me a kid? Listen here, buddy...
  875. Swanzo: Whoa now... if you let yourself get all worked up over everything, kid, you won't last
  876. long. Using those things is banned here. You might want to remember that, kid.
  877.  
  878. Gene: Relax, buddy, its not even loaded. I was just bluffing.
  879.  
  880. Jim: So firing a blaster is banned in a free town? Why is that?
  881.  
  882. Swanzo: Well, if a stray cracked a seal someplace and the air escaped, everybody who lived here
  883. would go straight to heaven. Morons who can't follow the rules don't have the right to hang
  884. around.
  885.  
  886. Gene: Yeah, or maybe only morons who follow the rules live here. So, thats what an outlaw is, huh?
  887.  
  888. Jim: They're pirates?
  889.  
  890. Swanzo: Sounds like this other youngster doesn't understand either. There are 3 powers in space.
  891. The Space Forces, the pirates, and outlaws. The difference is what motivates them. What motivates
  892. an outlaw varies from person to person. Good or bad, doesn't figure in solidarity in their duty.
  893.  
  894. Jim: So thats what makes them outlaws.
  895.  
  896. Mikey: Take a look at this, Swanzo. This ain't gonna be a one person job.
  897.  
  898. Swanzo: Blast it. Alright, I'll be right there. See you around, Hilda.
  899.  
  900. Hilda: Sure, take care of him.
  901.  
  902. Swanzo: Alright, kid behave yourself now.
  903.  
  904.  
  905. Gene: No way, I don't think so. I don't know the first thing about clothes shopping, how did I
  906. get suckered into it? She's with you, isn't she?
  907.  
  908. Hilda: I have some place to go and Melfina needs clothes. I'd rather she be with you, I know
  909. she'd be in good hands that way. Remember, Melfina is important to us.
  910.  
  911. Gene: Okay, I see. How about this then? Melfina goes with Jim because that way the job is sure
  912. to get done, and then I can go along with you.
  913.  
  914. Hilda: It's a deal.
  915.  
  916. Jim: And what a deal.
  917.  
  918. Gene: Lets meet at the hotel then, okay Jim?
  919.  
  920. Jim: Right
  921.  
  922. Computer: Welcome to Blue Heaven.
  923.  
  924.  
  925. Lady: Step right up and taste my delicous meat pie. Step right up.
  926.  
  927.  
  928. Melfina: Jim, I'm sorry.
  929.  
  930. Jim: Nah, don't worry about it.
  931.  
  932.  
  933. Jim: How's it goin in there?
  934.  
  935. Melfina: What do you think?
  936.  
  937. Attendent: Wow, you look absolutely wonderful.
  938.  
  939. Jim: Hey, not bad Melfina.
  940.  
  941. Melfina: Thank you.
  942.  
  943.  
  944. Gene: Okay Hilda, so what now?
  945.  
  946. Hilda: This is an outlaw hangout. I figured if there was anybody halfway decent here, I'd hire
  947. him.
  948.  
  949. Gene: So its not a job you can handle alone. I think its time you tell me what this job is.
  950. Enough with the secrets.
  951.  
  952. Hilda: Alright. I'm going to pick up a certain ship.
  953.  
  954. Gene: A certain ship?
  955.  
  956. Hilda: It's a very special ship. A ship that has enough power to dive into the ether sargasso.
  957. It's called a grappler ship.
  958.  
  959. Gene: A grappler spaceship?
  960.  
  961. Hilda: If you're planning to come along, you might think it over. Make sure it is what you want.
  962. Cause it sounds like you're a bit of a space hater.
  963.  
  964. Gene: Just mind your own business.
  965.  
  966. McCoy: Hilda! Well, Hilda, did I just hear something about you being shorthanded, I can help you
  967. out if you are.
  968.  
  969. Hilda: McCoy, you bastard. Not a chance. I'm looking for people who've got some skill.
  970.  
  971. McCoy Henchman1: Hey, we've got plenty of skill.
  972.  
  973. McCoy: Hey now, don't be greedy, we all want to make some money. Outlaws are partners here.
  974.  
  975. Hilda: Partners?
  976.  
  977. McCoy: Now now, you came here looking for partners, come on Hilda, isn't that right?
  978.  
  979. McCoy: Aaaaahhh!!
  980.  
  981. McCoy: Okay, that does it.
  982.  
  983. Gene: You trying to start something here, idiot?
  984.  
  985. Hilda: Watch this.
  986.  
  987. McCoy: Heh heh, you want some, huh?
  988.  
  989. McCoy Henchman1: We ain't gonna play nice just cause you're a woman.
  990.  
  991. Men: Aaaaaahhhh!
  992.  
  993. Hilda: Now turn tail and run. Cause next time I won't be so nice.
  994.  
  995. McCoy: Damn you Hilda, we'll remember this.
  996.  
  997. Gene: So guys like that are outlaws too?
  998.  
  999. Hilda: Well, its just like it is with the stars, there are bright ones and there are those that
  1000. are dim.
  1001.  
  1002. Gene: Heh, what kind are you?
  1003.  
  1004. Hilda: Well thats for you to decide. How would you like to find out?
  1005.  
  1006.  
  1007. Jim: Ah! You mean that G and Hilda are gonna share a room?
  1008.  
  1009. Clerk: Yes sir
  1010.  
  1011. Jim: Oh dammit that scumbag don't tell me he's gonna make a move on her How could she have okayed
  1012. this? No, I bet he was seducted this time
  1013.  
  1014. Clerk: Here's the key to your room, sir.
  1015.  
  1016. Jim: Did you mean our room?
  1017.  
  1018. Clerk Yes sir, room 345 with twin beds.
  1019.  
  1020. Jim: Aaahhh... Well, you heard the man.
  1021.  
  1022.  
  1023. Jim: Dammit Gene, don't you think there's a time and a place for these kind of things?
  1024.  
  1025. Melfina: So how do you think this looks Jim?
  1026.  
  1027. Jim: Its not bad I guess
  1028.  
  1029. Melfina: Well, shall I sleep here tonight
  1030.  
  1031. Jim: Yeah okay
  1032.  
  1033. Melfina: Sleep with you?
  1034.  
  1035. Jim: Ah! No, no use that bed alright?
  1036.  
  1037. Melfina: Alright.
  1038. McCoy Henchman1: It's empty... Uuuuh!
  1039.  
  1040. Hilda: Those fools from the bar, huh?
  1041.  
  1042. Gene: There's never a dull moment with you, is there? Or much time for anything else I guess.
  1043.  
  1044. Hilda: Just be ready.
  1045.  
  1046. McCoy: Whats going on up there, did you get them? Blast it!
  1047.  
  1048. Hilda: Lets go and don't use your gun.
  1049.  
  1050.  
  1051. Gene: Up against that thing and you're telling me I can't use my gun?
  1052.  
  1053. Hilda: Thats right cause he isn't using one.
  1054.  
  1055. Gene: Aaahhh.... I knew that.

  1065. Narrator: With the creation of the Manchausin Drive, which made faster than light speed travel
  1066. possible, humanity entered into a new era of great odysseys. They set out into the
  1067. universe, into this infinite sea. Explorers, soldiers, colonists... all sorts of
  1068. travellers with all sorts of names crossed the sea of stars and spread out across all
  1069. sorts of worlds. But when law and order were created, those who disturbed it appeared.
  1070. And when wealth and interest appeared, those who would plunder it appeared. Just as in
  1071. the last great age of sailing, pirates were reborn in space. But in this new age of
  1072. odysseys, a new breed of sailors appeared who worked outside the law yet sided with
  1073. neither space pirate nor space forces. Outlaw. This was the name given to those who
  1074. traveled in space with only his freedom as his guide.
  1075.  
  1076.  
  1077. // McCoy, inside a mech, enters the room.
  1078.  
  1079. Gene: Well, well, well here he is.
  1080.  
  1081. Gene: You have got to be kidding me.
  1082.  
  1083. // Gene shoots paint at him.
  1084.  
  1085. McCoy: Uhh...
  1086.  
  1087. Gene: (laughs) That won't take it off. You can't see a darn thing, can ya?
  1088.  
  1089. McCoy: You asked for it kid.
  1090.  
  1091. McCoy: Better say your prayers. Dumb kid. Alright, I'll get you now.
  1092.  
  1093. // He gets out of the mech.
  1094.  
  1095. Gene: (laughs)
  1096.  
  1097. McCoy: You're history. That's it, you're mine.
  1098.  
  1099. // Hilda jumps behind him and shocks him.
  1100.  
  1101. McCoy: Yaaaaahhhh!!!!
  1102.  
  1103. Gene: Huh?
  1104.  
  1105. Hilda: So, you've got a lot of tricks up your sleeve I see.
  1106.  
  1107. Gene: Hey, I don't think these guys were after you just cause of what you did back at the bar.
  1108. Well, looks like just about everybody's after you.
  1109.  
  1110. // In the Hotel room...
  1111.  
  1112. Hilda: Okay, so tell me, what exactly do you want with me?
  1113.  
  1114. McCoy Henchman2: I don't know I tell ya, c'mon, I don't know anything.
  1115.  
  1116. Hilda: But you know my reputation, right?
  1117.  
  1118. McCoy Henchman2: Someone asked us to do it. They told us we could capture you, or we could just
  1119. keep you here.
  1120.  
  1121. Hilda: Gonna tell me who?
  1122.  
  1123. McCoy Henchman2: Uh uh.
  1124.  
  1125. Hilda: Somebody even worse than me?
  1126.  
  1127. McCoy Henchman2: It's Ron MacDougal.
  1128.  
  1129. Hilda: McDougal, why him?
  1130.  
  1131. McCoy Henchman2: I dont' know, we just did it, cause he offered to pay us a lot of money.
  1132.  
  1133. // She knocks him out with a kick to the head.
  1134.  
  1135. Hilda: Wake up Melfina and Jim. We're going to the dock.
  1136.  
  1137. Gene: So who's this MacDougal guy?
  1138.  
  1139. Hilda: I'll explain later.
  1140.  
  1141. Gene: I've heard that before.

  1148.  
  1149. // In the repair shop...
  1150.  
  1151. Mikey: Okay, thats the last of them.
  1152.  
  1153. Swanzo: Looks like you guys makde it here in one piece.
  1154.  
  1155. Hilda: Sorry about the trouble.
  1156.  
  1157. Swanzo: (laughs) Don't mention it, we go back a long way. Wouldn't mind knowing what they were
  1158. up to though.
  1159.  
  1160. Hilda: Looks like MacDougal put them up to it.
  1161.  
  1162. Swanzo: Oh, so they're going all out, eh? What have you got yourself mixed up in?
  1163.  
  1164. Hilda: Well it's nothing major, its the Galactic Leyline.
  1165.  
  1166. Swanzo: They Galactic Leyline? I'll never understand how you terrans think. You really believe
  1167. in that stuff?
  1168.  
  1169. Hilda: Actually no, Swanzo. I don't believe anything until I see it with my own eyes. How's
  1170. Horis doing?
  1171.  
  1172. Swanzo: I'm finished with the supplies. How's the engine, Mikey?
  1173.  
  1174. Mikey: All green, except you've got less than 50 parsecs until your next recommended overhaul
  1175. on your sub-ether drive.
  1176.  
  1177. Hilda: The manufacturer's too paranoid, we're launching right away.
  1178.  
  1179. Gene: Hey, hold it! You mean we're gonna launch now, just like that?
  1180.  
  1181. Swanzo: That'd probably be a good idea, there's a big ruckus over at dock 12, maybe their buddies
  1182. are sending us some ships.
  1183.  
  1184. Mikey: What are you, outta your mind? Starting a fight right outside Blue Heaven?
  1185.  
  1186. Swanzo: They're breaking the rules if they don't go hand to hand. Horis is too big for them.
  1187. It's like $#&*@!
  1188.  
  1189. Gene: What did you say?
  1190.  
  1191. Swanzo: Sorry, translator's glitch. It's like sharks ganging up on a whale.
  1192.  
  1193. Gene: Hmph, whatever, I've never even seen a whale before.
  1194.  
  1195. Hilda: Swanzo, thank you for everything, I'll be back soon and understand I will need your help
  1196. again. I'll have a new ship with me.
  1197.  
  1198. Swanzo: No problem, Hilda.
  1199.  
  1200. Hilda: Okay, let's get going.
  1201.  
  1202. // They head out, 5 ships head out after them.
  1203.  
  1204. Horis: 5 planetary grappler ships have launched from Blue Heaven and are closing in.
  1205. Hilda: Gene, hey Gene!
  1206.  
  1207. Gene: Huh, what is it?
  1208.  
  1209. Hilda: You ever fight in a spaceship before?
  1210.  
  1211. Gene: No, even if I did, I don't want to now.
  1212.  
  1213. Hilda: I thought you had experience as a pilot.
  1214.  
  1215. Gene: I do, I might puke all over the console.
  1216.  
  1217. Horis: Warning, that may cause a short circuit.
  1218.  
  1219. Jim: If you don't have a problem with it, I'll help.
  1220.  
  1221. Hilda: Can you operate a laser cannon?
  1222.  
  1223. Jim: Sure, I know how to use one.
  1224.  
  1225. Hilda: It's to your right. If they close in, open fire.
  1226.  
  1227. Jim: Okay.
  1228.  
  1229. Hilda: Melfina, sit in the auxiliary control chair. You're able to do it.
  1230.  
  1231. Melfina: Alright, I'll try.
  1232.  
  1233. Horis: Warning, please avoid any reckless evasive manuevers until we are out of Blue Heaven's
  1234. approach lane.
  1235.  
  1236. Hilda: Alright, continue accelerating.
  1237.  
  1238. McCoy Henchman1: They won't get away, lets split ourselves up.
  1239.  
  1240. McCoy Henchman2: Right.
  1241.  
  1242. // They split up.
  1243.  
  1244. Horis: Grappler ships to aft have split into 2 groups.
  1245.  
  1246. Hilda: Jim, eyes up, they're coming in from the rear.
  1247.  
  1248. Jim: Gotcha.
  1249.  
  1250. Jim: There they are!
  1251.  
  1252. // The blasts don't work.
  1253.  
  1254. McCoy: Ain't gonna work little lady!
  1255.  
  1256. Horis: Enemy craft have anti-laser defenses.
  1257.  
  1258. Jim: Uhh... Hilda, what are we gonnna do?
  1259.  
  1260. Hilda: Keep firing, it'll keep them on their toes atleast.
  1261.  
  1262. Jim: Okay.
  1263.  
  1264. Gene: Ugh...
  1265.  
  1266. McCoy: (laughs) Running out of time.
  1267.  
  1268. Horis: Further evasion is dangerous. Now leaving guide path.
  1269.  
  1270. Melfina: Grappler ship closing in from above!
  1271.  
  1272. McCoy Henchman1: Okay, lady, gotcha this time.
  1273.  
  1274. Hilda: Horis, we need a rapid climb.
  1275.  
  1276. // Horis dodges them.
  1277.  
  1278. Gene: Ugh...
  1279.  
  1280. McCoy Henchman1: Ahh man!
  1281.  
  1282. Hilda: How much longer until we're cleared of the asteroid zone?
  1283.  
  1284. Horis: 482 seconds.
  1285.  
  1286. Melfina: I see something thats closing in on us from ahead. It's a large ship.
  1287.  
  1288. Horis: Ship is cruiser class. Type unknown. It is on a collsion course.
  1289.  
  1290. Hilda: Send out a warning.
  1291.  
  1292. Horis: They claim they have the right of way.
  1293.  
  1294. // On the ship...
  1295.  
  1296. Aisha: This is the Orta Hone Hone, registered to the Ctarl Ctarl empire. I am speaking to you
  1297. as Ambassador Planetary Petentiary Aisha Clan Clan. With total authority in all space,
  1298. held by the Ctarl Ctarl empire. We are docking at Blue Heaven, clear the way.
  1299.  
  1300. Crowd: Clear the way (~ 10 times)
  1301.  
  1302. Ctarl Ctarl1: Make way for the Ctarl Ctarl empire!
  1303.  
  1304. Ctarl Ctarl2: If you don't clear the we're gonna whip your butt.
  1305.  
  1306. McCoy Henchman1: The Ctarl Ctarl empire!
  1307.  
  1308. McCoy Henchman2: What should we do?
  1309.  
  1310. McCoy: Like we really have a choice? These guys are even worse than the pirates!
  1311.  
  1312. Hilda: Listen, I'm an outlaw. I hate to say it, but I don't have a treaty with you, understand?
  1313. This departing ship is taking the right of way.
  1314.  
  1315. Jim: Huh? You're picking a fight with the Ctarl Ctarl?
  1316.  
  1317. Gene: Hey Jim, tell me, what are the Ctarl Ctarl like again?
  1318.  
  1319. Jim: They're like a cross between a human and a tiger. They're really nasty.
  1320.  
  1321. Technician1: Approaching ship isn't changing course!
  1322.  
  1323. Aisha: Wait! Wait a minute, thats crazy!
  1324.  
  1325. Technician2: Stop messing around!
  1326.  
  1327. Technician3: Moron!
  1328.  
  1329. Technician1: We're gonna eat you.
  1330.  
  1331. Hilda: Don't worry. If you drop your shield, they'll be enough room for us to pass.
  1332.  
  1333. Aisha: What?! You defy the Ctarl Ctarl empire!? Grr....
  1334.  
  1335. Hilda: Without it the ships will collide!
  1336.  
  1337. Aisha: What? Just a minute!
  1338.  
  1339. Technician2: Graphic shields altering course 3 degrees to port.
  1340.  
  1341. Technician1: Firing starboard blasters for 10 seconds.
  1342.  
  1343. // Horis narrowly makes it by.
  1344.  
  1345. Jim: Ugh... ugh...
  1346.  
  1347. // An asteroid strikes the Ctarl Ctarl ship.
  1348.  
  1349. Aisha: Aaaahhh! Arrr!
  1350.  
  1351. Gene: Oh boy...
  1352.  
  1353. McCoy Henchman1: Kay, go after them.
  1354.  
  1355. Aisha: Hey! Hold it right there! All of you stop your ships do you hear me? You're under arrest
  1356. in the name of the Ctarl Ctarl empire!
  1357.  
  1358. McCoy Henchman3: Oh no, what should we do?
  1359.  
  1360. McCoy Henchman4: What else can we do? We can't get away from that ship.
  1361.  
  1362. Aisha: Hey! You outlaws, hold on!
  1363.  
  1364. Horis: T minus 60 until asteroid zone is cleared. Warning. Warning. Further acceleration within
  1365. asteroid zone is dangerous.
  1366.  
  1367. Jim: Aaaah!
  1368.  
  1369. Aisha: Grr! Blast it! Everyone's trying to make fools of us. That does it, fire! I said fire!
  1370.  
  1371. Crowd: Fire! Fire! Fire! Fire!
  1372.  
  1373. Technician1: But Lady Aisha, firing within the asteroid cluster is...
  1374.  
  1375. Aisha: Quiet! This is in the honor of the Ctarl Ctarl!
  1376.  
  1377. Technician1: Yes, m'am!
  1378.  
  1379. Crowd: Fire ( but are unable to stop Horis from escaping.
  1380.  
  1381. Aisha: Grrr!
  1382.  
  1383. Technician3: Lady Aisha blew it, she should have listened to him!
  1384.  
  1385. // On Horis...
  1386.  
  1387. Gene: Oh Hilda, where are we headed off to this time?
  1388.  
  1389. Hilda: Just a little star system. Meeting up with some friends there.
  1390.

  1396.  
  1397. // On the Ctarl Ctarl ship...
  1398.  
  1399. Aisha: What?! You mean the outlaw Hilda?! That was her ship?
  1400.  
  1401. McCoy: Woah, Hilda's famous, even in the empire...
  1402.  
  1403. McCoy Henchman1: She sure is.
  1404.  
  1405. Aisha: Tell me where she's headed!
  1406.  
  1407. McCoy: Even if I knew I wouldn't tell ya. Errr...
  1408.  
  1409. Aisha: Grrr...
  1410.  
  1411. Aisha: These outlaws will face execution later. Go after her at once.
  1412.  
  1413. Technician3: But we can't.
  1414.  
  1415. Aisha: What are you saying. Are you defying me?
  1416.  
  1417. Technician5: They are orders from home. We are to remain here until further instructed.
  1418.  
  1419. Aisha: What! Do you mean to tell me you've been in contact with home?
  1420.  
  1421. Technician5: Of course, we were ordered to contact them once we arrived at Blue Heaven.
  1422.  
  1423. Aisha: Grrr....
  1424.  
  1425. // Meanwhile, Horis comes out of sub-ether mode.
  1426.  
  1427. Gene: Oh great, are we there yet?
  1428.  
  1429. Hilda: No, we have to go to sub-ether 3 more times.
  1430.  
  1431. Gene: Ugh...
  1432.  
  1433. Horis: Time required to fix sub-ether drive, 2 hours 10 minutes.
  1434.  
  1435. Hilda: Get some rest everyone.
  1436.  
  1437. Gene: Before I rest, I have a question. What is the Galactic Leyline?
  1438.  
  1439. Hilda: That's simple. It's a place the Kai pirates are desperate to find.
  1440.  
  1441. Gene: Why?
  1442.  
  1443. Hilda: Apparantly, they say there's some kind of huge treasure that's supposed to be hidden there.
  1444.  
  1445. Gene: One other thing. Who's this MacDougal Character?
  1446.  
  1447. Hilda: Horis.
  1448.  
  1449. Horis: The MacDougal brothers. They call themselves outlaws, but their position is unclear. They
  1450. will take any job for the right price. Other than that, no personal information is available.
  1451.  
  1452. Gene: Why the heck are they poking around your business?
  1453.  
  1454. Hilda: Why don't you just ask him?
  1455.  
  1456. Gene and Jim: Hmmm...?
  1457.  
  1458. Hilda: (laughs)
  1459.  
  1460. // Later, they come out of Sub-Ether near a planet.
  1461.  
  1462. Hilda: The moon of that planet. That's where we'll meet my friends.
  1463.  
  1464. Hilda: This is Horis. Marx, O'Malley, come in please. Anything on radar?
  1465.  
  1466. Melfina: No, I'm not picking up any spaceships.
  1467.  
  1468. Gene: Did you get here at the right time? Maybe we're just early.
  1469.  
  1470. Hilda: They should have come a long time ago.
  1471.  
  1472. Gene: You think you got stood up?
  1473.  
  1474. Hilda: I doubt that.
  1475.  
  1476. Melfina: I'm picking up something on radar, but its...
  1477.  
  1478. Horis: I'm picking it up on the cameras as well. Enlarging.
  1479.  
  1480. Hilda: I'm taking us in.
  1481.  
  1482. // They fly through the wreckage.
  1483.  
  1484. Hilda: Oh no... That's the Leprechan's nose art.
  1485.  
  1486. Horis: Debris ahead verified as the Leprechan and the Purgatory.
  1487.  
  1488. Melfina: I see a ship that's lifting off from the moon's surface.
  1489.  
  1490. Hilda: What?
  1491.  
  1492. Melfina: It's closing in at high speed.
  1493.  
  1494. Horis: Warning. It's that pirate vessel.
  1495.  
  1496. // The pirate ship sends out fighters. Inside...
  1497.  
  1498. Ron: Just like I told you.
  1499.  
  1500. Girl Pirate: Thank you, Mister MacDougal.
  1501.  
  1502. Ron: Don't mention it. I knew that the guild would pay for the information, so it was an easy
  1503. job. Tell me, is there any other way I can be of any help for you? My brother will launch
  1504. our ship if you need us to.
  1505.  
  1506. Girl Pirate: This is our job now, that won't be necessary.
  1507.  
  1508. // On Horis...
  1509.  
  1510. Hilda: You had to go and hurt more of my friends, didn't ya.
  1511.  
  1512. Gene: So what are we gonna do now?
  1513.  
  1514. Hilda: Accelerate and fly down their throats. Gene, take the gunner's chair.
  1515.  
  1516. Gene: You mean me? I can fire that, but I'm not gonna hit anything.
  1517.  
  1518. Hilda: Just how long are you gonna keep whining?
  1519.  
  1520. Gene: If I can't hit anything, I can't hit anything.
  1521.  
  1522. Hilda: You're just gonna keep running away?
  1523.  
  1524. Gene: Just keep running away? I'm not running.
  1525.  
  1526. // He has a flashback of his father's death again.
  1527.  
  1528. Gene: Don't start whining if I puke all over everything.
  1529.  
  1530. Hilda: If you want to be a spacer, hold it in.
  1531.  
  1532. Gene: Oh man... what a slave driver.
  1533.  
  1534. // Gene heads to the Gunner's chair.
  1535.  
  1536. Gene: Jim, I'll take over.
  1537.  
  1538. Jim: Hey, don't over do it Gene.
  1539.  
  1540. Gene: Eh... I'm a natural born spacer. Don't you worry about it, Jim.
  1541.  
  1542. // The pirates arrive to attack.
  1543.  
  1544. Old Man: Pa gu a sun fa. You won't get away Hilda.
  1545.  
  1546. Horis: Pirate co-fighters are approaching.
  1547.  
  1548. Hilda: Lasers won't work on them. Use missiles.
  1549.  
  1550. Gene: Yeah, I got it.
  1551.  
  1552. // Gene shoots missiles at the fighters.
  1553.  
  1554. Old Man: Waaaaa!!!
  1555.  
  1556. // He shoots some sort of device at Horis.
  1557.  
  1558. Horis: Small craft has made contact to starboard. No damage.
  1559.  
  1560. Gene: Okay you wiseguys, its your time to get it.
  1561.  
  1562. Old Man: (laughs)
  1563.  
  1564. // He gets away.
  1565.  
  1566. Ron: You're gonna let them escape?
  1567.  
  1568. Girl Pirate: You needn't concern yourself.
  1569.  
  1570. Ron: Oh?
  1571.  
  1572. Old Man: We've branded you Hilda> You will never be able to escape us now. We'll take back
  1573. everything that you stole from us. You'll regret what you've done.
  1574.  
  1575. // Horis gets away.
  1576.  
  1577. Hilda: Head straight for Farfalas Horis. Calculate sub-ether course.
  1578.  
  1579. Horis: Roger.
  1580.  
  1581. Gene: Hey, where is this farfa whatever place?
  1582.  
  1583. Hilda: Its a star system about 40 light years from here with a lot of natural resources. It's
  1584. a desert island in space.
  1585.  
  1586. Gene: So why are we going there?
  1587.  
  1588. Hilda: The ship I told you about before is hidden there.
  1589.  
  1590. Gene: Huh? You actually gave me a straight answer for once.
  1591.  
  1592. Hilda: Because I found out I could use you as a crew member.
  1593.  
  1594. Gene: Ah, what are you talking about... ewww...
  1595.  
  1596. Jim: Okee dokee, Gene, off to the bathroom, hang in there.
  1597.  
  1598. Melfina: Umm...
  1599.  
  1600. Hilda: Hmm...?
  1601.  
  1602. Melfina: Why did you bring me along?
  1603.  
  1604. Hilda: Would you have prefered to stay back there with them?
  1605.  
  1606. Melfina: Not really.
  1607.  
  1608. Hilda: I would never mistreat you.
  1609.  
  1610. Melfina: Alright.
  1611.  
  1612. // On the pirate ship...
  1613.  
  1614. Girl Pirate: Once all spacecrafts are aboard you may begin the pursuit.
  1615.  
  1616. Ron: Do you need help tracking them?
  1617.  
  1618. Girl Pirate: I don't.
  1619.  
  1620. Ron: In that case I'll be going. My brother is here to pick me up.
  1621.  
  1622. // On his ship...
  1623.  
  1624. Ron: This should prove to be interesting. Heh heh heh heh.
  1625.  
  1626. // At Blue Heaven...
  1627.  
  1628. Governer: This is a disgrace Aisha Clan Clan. Our reports clearly state that Hilda's ship Horis
  1629. was right under your nose and you let him get away.
  1630.  
  1631. Aisha: But governer... At that time uh... I did not have that information.
  1632.  
  1633. Technician: Lady Aisha, thats simply a comm cube you're looking at, its just a recording.
  1634.  
  1635. Aisha: (whines)
  1636.  
  1637. Governer: And therefore Aisha Clan Clan, your rank as Ambassador Planet Petentiary is here by
  1638. stripped. You will remain at Blue Heaven as a resident officer and gather information
  1639. regarding the Galactic Leyline.
  1640.  
  1641. Aisha: Oh no...! Governer, I beg of you thats way too harsh.
  1642.  
  1643. Technician: I'm telling you, he can't hear you.
  1644.  
  1645. Governer: The Orta Hone Hone will depart Blue Heaven and continue tracking Horis. That will be
  1646. all.
  1647.  
  1648. Technicians: (cheer) Leave port! (10 times)
  1649.  
  1650.  
  1651. Aisha: (whines)
  1652.  
  1653. // Meanwhile, Horis reaches a star.
  1654.  
  1655. Gene: Oh come on, brother, is it a little hot in here?
  1656.  
  1657. Hilda: We're getting closer to the sun. Hang in there.
  1658.  
  1659. Gene: Well how much closer do you plan on taking us?
  1660.  
  1661. Hilda: Just a little more.
  1662.  
  1663. Gene: What? Oh yeah thats great, just a little more and we'll dive right into it.
  1664.  
  1665. Horis: I found it, Hilda.
  1666.  
  1667. // Focus on an asteroid near the star.
  1668.  
  1669. Hilda: There it is. Thats a ship out there. A very special ship. One's that built with the brains
  1670. of the pirates and the technology of the Space Forces.
  1671.  
  1672. Gene: Space Forces and the pirates?
  1673.  
  1674. Hilda: Matching orbits with the asteroid. I'm taking us in.
  1675.  
  1676. Horis: Roger.

  1689.  
  1690. Narrator: Grappler arms were originally manipulators that were attached to EPE crafts. At first,
  1691. it was the Chinese pirates that put the arm's abilities to new and devious uses. After
  1692. the Chinese transport carried dragonite from planet to planet, the pirates began to
  1693. attack their own craft with surprising intensity. To the pirates of the era, arms
  1694. symbolized the strength of their ships and before long they integrated the arms into
  1695. their attack methods. The Federation Space Forces became extremely irate with this
  1696. situation and began developing grappler arms of their own, bragging that they planned
  1697. to formally equip space forces fighters with them in the near future. They would be
  1698. a force to be reckoned with. Because of the complicated manner in which space fighters
  1699. used these grappler arms, space combat was clearly impossible without the aid of
  1700. powerful computers. The combination of grappler amrs and potent computers savagly
  1701. pushed human physical and mental capacity to their limits and those that survived
  1702. battle were spoken of with respect. They were known as grapplers.
  1703.  
  1704. Horus: We have entered the same orbit as the asteroid.
  1705.  
  1706. Hilda: Alright, I'm gonna take us it.
  1707.  
  1708. Jim: Woah!
  1709.  
  1710. // The anchors attach to the asteroid.
  1711.  
  1712. Hilda: Okay guys, we're going over.
  1713.  
  1714. // The dropshift detaches and heads into the asteroid.

  1721.  
  1722. Jim: Woah! Awesome!
  1723.  
  1724. Gene: So this is it.
  1725.  
  1726. Melfina: Ah...
  1727.  
  1728. Hilda: That's it, the XGP15A2. A special ship. Built with the pirate's brains and the space
  1729. forces's technology. C'mon, let's go.
  1730.  
  1731. // She jumps to the hatch.
  1732.  
  1733. Gene: Oh hey. Wait a minute, don't leave us here.
  1734.  
  1735. Jim: Ah... Poor little baby. I'll hold your hand if you want me to.
  1736.  
  1737.  
  1738.  
  1739. Gene: Lay off, will ya.
  1740.  
  1741. Melfina: The XGP... 15A2...
  1742.  
  1743. Hilda: Melfina, come!
  1744.  
  1745. Melfina: I'm coming!
  1746.  
  1747. // They open the hatch and head inside.
  1748.  
  1749. Gene: Check it out! The controls are pretty unusual.
  1750.  
  1751. Hilda: Like I told you, this ship is pretty special.
  1752.  
  1753. Jim: So what's that Hilda?
  1754.  
  1755. Hilda: It's an alarm claft.
  1756.  
  1757. Gene: You mean to tell me the pirates and the space forces worked together to build this thing?
  1758.  
  1759. Hilda: The pirates couldn't have developed this ship on their own. They used money and connections
  1760. to get space forces to sign on.
  1761.  
  1762. Jim: But what in the world are you doing with a ship thats hidden in a place like this?
  1763.  
  1764. Hilda: It's here because I swiped it from them.
  1765.  
  1766. Jim: Wow, I'm impressed. You managed to get on the bad side of the pirates and the space forces.
  1767.  
  1768. Hilda: I owed em one.
  1769.  
  1770. // The countdown is started and after, the ship is activated.
  1771.  
  1772. Jim: Wow!
  1773.  
  1774. // A sound comes out of nowhere.
  1775.  
  1776. Gene: Hey what was that sound?
  1777.  
  1778. Gilliam: Good morning and good day to you. Ladies, and of course gentlemen.
  1779.  
  1780. Gene: Who are you?
  1781.  
  1782. Gilliam: I am myself. But it is inappropriate for me to subjectivly define who I am. I'd take
  1783. means to test the veracity of any such definition. And the restraints therefore have
  1784. been placed within me restricting such an act.
  1785.  
  1786. Gene: What the heck kind of answer is that?
  1787.  
  1788. Gilliam: The only answer I have in regards to myself is that the name I have been granted is
  1789. Gilliam 2. And that I have been authorized with the maintanence of this vessel.
  1790.  
  1791. Jim: Hey, he's the ship's computer Gene.
  1792.  
  1793. Gene: Yeah? Well why didn't he say so?!
  1794.  
  1795. Gilliam: Incidently, just who might you two gentlemen be?
  1796.  
  1797. Hilda: They happen to be the crew.
  1798.  
  1799. Gilliam: One moment please... Oh dear, there seems to be a problem. It appears there is nothing
  1800. regarding this thats been recorded in my memory.
  1801.  
  1802. Hilda: Of course not, you've just recently been activated. Just start from now.
  1803.  
  1804. Gilliam: One moment please... It appears part of my personal service regulations file has been
  1805. deleted. Shall I attempt to recover it?
  1806.  
  1807. Hilda: No thats not necessary we are the crew. Obey the orders of the crew.
  1808.  
  1809. Gilliam: Understood. As it stands, I have no authority to run a search on you.
  1810.  
  1811. Gene: This is really ticking me off! Just launch the stupid ship, Gilliam! Do it right now!
  1812.  
  1813. Gilliam: Of course sir.
  1814.  
  1815. Gilliam: Oh my, and who might this be? Interesting.
  1816.  
  1817. Gilliam: Personell recording complete. However, currently I am unable to launch this vessel.
  1818.  
  1819. Gene: Say what?! Are you trying to tell me you aren't the ship's navigational computer?
  1820.  
  1821. Gilliam: I support all operations of the XGP15A2 except matters pertaining to piloting. They are
  1822. outside of my control.
  1823.  
  1824. Gene: Jim, whats wrong with this guy?
  1825.  
  1826. Jim: Maybe everything's done manually?
  1827.  
  1828. Gilliam: No, thats unlikely.
  1829.  
  1830. Hilda: Melfina will handle it.
  1831.  
  1832. Jim: Huh?
  1833.  
  1834. Gene: Huh, Melfina?
  1835.  
  1836. Melfina: Did you say... You mean me?
  1837.  
  1838. Hilda: Thats right Melfina. She will assist you, Gilliam.
  1839.  
  1840. Gilliam: Is that so? Then it is understood.
  1841.  
  1842. Jim: What's understood?
  1843.  
  1844. Gilliam: That you are this ship's crew.
  1845.  
  1846. Gene: Ah... This is driving me insane.
  1847.  
  1848. Hilda: Gilliam, report the ship's status.
  1849.  
  1850. Gilliam: Navigation is possible but all equipment is not on board.
  1851.  
  1852. Hilda: Just as long as you can fly.
  1853.  
  1854. Gilliam: Crew furnishings have not been loaded and food stores are limited to 10 emergency
  1855. packs. Furthermore, the XGP15A2 has not yet been appointed a designation.
  1856.  
  1857. Hilda: No name, huh?
  1858.  
  1859. Jim: How bout Genius James?
  1860.  
  1861. Gene: Give it a rest.
  1862.  
  1863. Hilda: The ship's name is...
  1864.  
  1865. Horus: This is Horus. Hilda, its the pirate ship. Distance, 6000.
  1866.  
  1867. Hilda: It can't be!
  1868.  
  1869. // On the pirate ship.
  1870.  
  1871. Old Man: Impossible!
  1872.  
  1873. // On XGP.
  1874.  
  1875. Horus: Magnetic aberation in enemy ship's Tao field delayed detection. Its closing in fast.
  1876.  
  1877. Hilda: Alright Gene, I want you and the others to launch this ship.
  1878.  
  1879. Gene: But what about you?
  1880.  
  1881. Hilda: Horus and I will intercept them.
  1882.  
  1883. Gene: Wouldn't it be better for all of us to go together?
  1884.  
  1885. Hilda: I don't want the ship to be taken. Melfina knows how to pilot it. Do it.
  1886.  
  1887. Gene: C'mon, I felt like puking for hours.
  1888.  
  1889. Hilda: Quit your whining.
  1890.  
  1891. // She leaves.
  1892.  
  1893. Melfina: Uh...
  1894.  
  1895. Gene: Erh... looks like I got no choice. Gilliam, prepare for launch.
  1896.  
  1897. Gilliam: Very well. Gene, please sit in the pilot's seat.
  1898.  
  1899. Gene: Okay.
  1900.  
  1901. Melfina: Uh... And what about me?
  1902.  
  1903. Gilliam: Over there Melfina.
  1904.  
  1905. // A hatch next to her opens.
  1906.  
  1907. Jim: I suppose I should sit here.
  1908.  
  1909. Gilliam: Thats fine, James.
  1910.  
  1911. Jim: Call me Jim.
  1912.  
  1913. Gene: Okay Gilliam, now what?
  1914.  
  1915. Gilliam: Holding for Melfina to get ready. I'll display the control manual so please read it
  1916. while you're waiting.
  1917.  
  1918. Gene: Whats he mean?
  1919.  
  1920. // A panel rises from the floor, where Melfina was.
  1921.  
  1922. Jim: What the heck kind of system is that?
  1923.  
  1924. Gene: You're guess is as good as mine.
  1925.  
  1926. // Hilda arrives at her ship.
  1927.  
  1928. Horus: I am unable to determine how the enemy ship tracked us here.
  1929.  
  1930. Hilda: Some Tao spell. How are the engines?
  1931.  
  1932. Horus: Ether Drive Engine is active. Shall I release the anchor?
  1933.  
  1934. Hilda: They're only after the XGP and Melfina. They won't do anything drastic. Ammunition?
  1935.  
  1936. Horus: 34% remaining.
  1937.  
  1938. Hilda: We'll attack from right here.
  1939.  
  1940. // The enemies head out and the battle begins. Meanwhile, we see Melfina emerced in liquid.
  1941.  
  1942. Melfina: Connecting. Connecting. Connecting. Connecting. Connecting.
  1943.  
  1944. // The container opens, revealing her to Gene and Jim.
  1945.  
  1946. Melfina: Connection established. I'll activate the engines.
  1947.  
  1948. Gene: Hey, what the heck is going on here?
  1949.  
  1950. Jim: Awesome, she's linked up to the ship.
  1951.  
  1952. Gene: Well I think she's nuts to get all wet at a time like this.
  1953.  
  1954. Melfina: Uh oh. The engines are sealed, we need to activate them now or they won't work.
  1955.  
  1956. Gene: Uh... where do I, uh?
  1957.  
  1958. Gilliam: The engine room please.
  1959.  
  1960. Jim: The engine room?
  1961.  
  1962. Gilliam: I'll show you the way.
  1963.  
  1964. Jim: Okay, I'll be right back.
  1965.  
  1966. Gene: Sure.
  1967.  
  1968. // He follows a Gilliam bot there.
  1969.  
  1970. Gene: Man, this ship is a royal pain.
  1971.  
  1972. Gilliam: It only appears that way at first. You might think of it as it were still in its
  1973. plastic wrapper.
  1974.  
  1975. Gene: Has it been flight tested?
  1976.  
  1977. Gilliam: The engine itself has been tested, but there is no record of it being tested after
  1978. installation.
  1979.  
  1980. Gene: Ow... are you kidding me?
  1981.  
  1982. Melfina: Bring up all sensors.
  1983.  
  1984. Gilliam: This ship outside is hailing us. Shall I open the channel Gene?
  1985.  
  1986. Gene: Patch her through right away.
  1987.  
  1988. // Meanwhile...
  1989.  
  1990. Hilda: Gene, how much longer?
  1991.  
  1992. Gene: Don't ask me!
  1993.  
  1994. // A trio of pirate fighters land on Horus.
  1995.  
  1996. Hilda: Just picked up a case of termites, hurry!
  1997.  
  1998. // In the engine room...
  1999.  
  2000. Jim: Oh. Man, these guys are uptight.
  2001.  
  2002. Gilliam: I'm told that its a space forces tradition.
  2003.  
  2004. // Meanwhile, the Old Man and a group of pirates enter the dock room.
  2005.  
  2006. Old Man: Oh, so thats it. Let's go.

  2013.  
  2014. Gilliam: Warning, intruders have entered the dock.
  2015.  
  2016. Gene: Say what?
  2017.  
  2018. // On the pirate ship.
  2019.  
  2020. Girl Pirate: Lock all guns on Horus. Once the XGP is secured, fire at will.
  2021.  
  2022. Hilda: Leave anchors and accelerate slowly. We'll rotate the asteroid and use it as a shield.
  2023.  
  2024. // It does so.
  2025.  
  2026. Girl Pirate: Blast you Hilda, trying to protect yourself with the asteroid! Seperate the Grappler
  2027. ship. Take us to the sun side of the asteroid.
  2028.  
  2029. // The grappler ship detaches from the rest of the ship. Meanwhile, Gene fires at the pirates.
  2030.  
  2031.  
  2032.  
  2033. Old Man: Don't fire at random! Split up and attack him from all sides!
  2034.  
  2035. Gene: Ah!
  2036.  
  2037. // He closes the hatch.
  2038.  
  2039. Gene: Gilliam, how do I get that gate open?
  2040.  
  2041. Gilliam: I can open it by remote.
  2042.  
  2043. Gene: Open it!
  2044.  
  2045. // The hatch opens, sucking out most of the pirates.
  2046.  
  2047. Old Man: Yeeeaaahhh!
  2048.  
  2049. Gene: Gilliam, hows it coming?
  2050.  
  2051. Gilliam: Startup preperations are complete.
  2052.  
  2053. Gene: Alright.
  2054.  
  2055. Melfina: Please start the engines with the ignition key.
  2056.  
  2057. Gene: Thats easy.
  2058.  
  2059. // He starts it.
  2060.  
  2061. Gilliam: Engines online. Generators operational. Switching power over from sub circuits to main.
  2062.  
  2063. Jim: Oh! We're lifting up.
  2064.  
  2065. Melfina: All systems green. Ether drive engine standing by.
  2066.  
  2067. Gene: Allright. We'll launch once that gate's open.
  2068.  
  2069. Gilliam: Roger that.
  2070.  
  2071. // The gate opens.
  2072.  
  2073. Gene: Okay then. Huh?
  2074.  
  2075. // The pirate ship blocks the gate.
  2076.  
  2077. Gene: What the heck?
  2078.  
  2079. Jim: Whats that gate doing pointed at the bad guys?
  2080.  
  2081. Old Man: Cut your engines. If at all possible we want that ship undamaged.
  2082.  
  2083. Gene: Hilda! We're in trouble here.
  2084.  
  2085. Hilda: I'm a little busy right now. Release all anchors!
  2086.  
  2087. // Horus detaches from the asteroid, but the grappler ship grabs on to it.
  2088.  
  2089. Hilda: Uh... blast it!
  2090.  
  2091. Girl Pirate: We have you now, Hilda.
  2092.  
  2093. Gene: Gilliam?! Where are the weapons?
  2094.  
  2095. Gilliam: The grappler arms are operational, but they have no weapons.
  2096.  
  2097. Gene: We're going out!
  2098.  
  2099. Jim: But we'll crash into them!
  2100.  
  2101. Gene: Its alright, I'll think of something.
  2102.  
  2103. Gilliam: Please focus on the task at hand.
  2104.  
  2105. Gene: That's an order!
  2106.  
  2107. // The grappler arms detach from the ship for use.
  2108.  
  2109. Old Man: They're going to use their grappler arms. It will damage the ship but we have no
  2110. choice. Fire all anchors!
  2111.  
  2112. Jim: Ah! Hurry Gene, hurry!
  2113.  
  2114. Gene: Oh no man!
  2115.  
  2116. // Suddenly, there's a large explosion on the pirate ship.
  2117.  
  2118. Old Man: What the heck?!
  2119.  
  2120. Gene: What is that?
  2121.  
  2122. Melfina: I'm picking up an object on sensors.
  2123.  
  2124. Gilliam: Its a thermonuclear missile or shell. Something of that nature.
  2125.  
  2126. Old Man: What the heck happened?
  2127.  
  2128. Pirate: We're under attack sire! Thats... that's MacDougal's ship!
  2129.  
  2130. Old Man: Oh no, what is MacDougal doing?
  2131.  
  2132. // The rest of the pirate ship is destroyed.
  2133.  
  2134. Jim: Errh...
  2135.  
  2136. Girl Pirate: But why are you doing this MacDougal?
  2137.  
  2138. Hilda: What are you up to MacDougal?
  2139.  
  2140. Ron: Hey Hilda, its been a very long time.
  2141.  
  2142. // They shoot at the asteroid.
  2143.  
  2144. Hilda: You'll destroy the XGP!
  2145.  
  2146. Ron: Thats the general idea.
  2147.  
  2148. Girl Pirate: You have double crossed us!
  2149.  
  2150. Ron: As of now our contract with you has ended. We're carrying out a new contract and thats all
  2151. there is to it. And that contract is to wipe out the XGP.
  2152.  
  2153. Old Man: Erh.... Ah! At this rate we won't be able to escape the star's gravity well!
  2154.  
  2155. Girl Pirate: Come back please hurry up!
  2156.  
  2157. Jim: Ehh....
  2158.  
  2159. Gene: Can you see what's going on outside?
  2160.  
  2161. Gilliam: I'm not sure, but the dock cameras are still active.
  2162.  
  2163. // They turn on, showing MacDougal's ship.
  2164.  
  2165. Gene: Ah... Hey wait, I know that ship.
  2166.  
  2167. // He has a flashback of his father's death and sees MacDougal's ship there.
  2168.  
  2169. Gene: I can't believe it, MacDougal.
  2170.  
  2171. Ron: Alright, launch the Helsion Missile.
  2172.  
  2173. Harry: Alright! Helsion Missile!
  2174.  
  2175. Ron: This is my way of saying goodbye, Hot Ice Hilda. That name of yours has caused us plenty
  2176. of unnecessary trouble.
  2177.  
  2178. // They shoot it at the asteroid, causing it to plunge into the star.
  2179.  
  2180. Hilda: Uh...
  2181.  
  2182. Harry: Man, you know brother thats totally a waste.
  2183.  
  2184. Ron: Its okay, we don't need the XGP. Remember, we're the ones with the fastest ship in the
  2185. galaxy.
  2186.  
  2187. Harry: I meant Hilda. Didn't you tell me that she was really cute?
  2188.  
  2189. Ron: Sorry, she's not your type. Alright, lets go back and report to our client.
  2190.  
  2191. // They leave, but the chaos continues...
  2192.  
  2193. Pirate: A gravity catapult around Farfalas would put us too close to a flair. The ship would
  2194. burn up!
  2195.  
  2196. Girl Pirate: I know that. All engines max!
  2197.  
  2198. Old Man: Hilda and MacDougal you will pay for this you blasted outlaws.
  2199.  
  2200. Horus: We are unable to escape from Farfalas's gravity.
  2201.  
  2202. Hilda: Gene do you hear me? Come in!
  2203.  
  2204. // Nothing...
  2205.  
  2206. Hilda: Gene! Melfina! Respond!
  2207.  
  2208. // Suddenly, the XGP tears its way out of the asteroid.
  2209.  
  2210. Gene: Yeah!
  2211.  
  2212. Old Man: Huh? Hmm...
  2213.  
  2214. Gilliam: The ship is now in the clear.
  2215.  
  2216. Melfina: Stabalizing attitude.
  2217.  
  2218. Gene: Once we're stabilized bring engines to full!
  2219.  
  2220. Gilliam: If you do it all at once the engines may not become stable.
  2221.  
  2222. Gene: Whats more important, the engines or the whole darn ship?
  2223.  
  2224. Gilliam: Well then, feel free.
  2225.  
  2226. Gene: Let's rock!
  2227.  
  2228. // The XGP blasts off.
  2229.  
  2230. Girl Pirate: What kind of ship is that?
  2231.  
  2232. Old Man: That ship has 4 Hansueng engines. Very well, prepare for close quarters combat. We'll
  2233. board them with our grappler arms!
  2234.  
  2235. Hilda: Prepare the lander for launch. I'm going over.
  2236.  
  2237. Melfina: Engine output 81 percent. We've exceeded Farfalas's escape velocity.
  2238.  
  2239. Gene: Where's Horus?
  2240.  
  2241. Jim: Gene, the pirate ship, look! Ah!
  2242.  
  2243. Gene: Don't mess with me, losers!
  2244.  
  2245. // The XGP smashes through the pirate ship's grappler arm.
  2246.  
  2247. Old Man: Aaaahhhh!
  2248.  
  2249. Gene: Hilda, come in!
  2250.  
  2251. Hilda: Grab me!
  2252.  
  2253. // The pirate ship shoots an anchor at the XGP, hitting the lander.
  2254.  
  2255. Hilda: Ah!
  2256.  
  2257. Gene: Hilda, no! Hilda, are you okay?
  2258.  
  2259. Hilda: Blast, I can't make it, you'll have to save me!
  2260.  
  2261. Gene: Come save you?
  2262.  
  2263. Hilda: Hurry up!
  2264.  
  2265. Gene: Well, can we do it Melfina?
  2266.  
  2267. Melfina: If we decellerate we'll go below escape velocity.
  2268.  
  2269. Gilliam: And we can't accelerate now due to that pirate ship. If you don't do something, we'll
  2270. fall into the star.
  2271.  
  2272. Jim: C'mon Gene, yank up that wire will ya?
  2273.  
  2274. Hilda: Wait, listen, don't cut that anchor yet. Sorry, but I have to leave you Horus.
  2275.  
  2276. Horus: I understand. Goodbye Hilda.
  2277.  
  2278. // She heads out and grabs on to the wire.
  2279.  
  2280.  
  2281.  
  2282. Gene: Move on it, Hilda!
  2283.  
  2284. Melfina: Increasing output 85... 86... 87...
  2285.  
  2286. Girl Pirate: Hilda!
  2287.  
  2288. // Hilda shoots at her.
  2289.  
  2290. Girl Pirate: Pa gu a sun fa Pa gu a sun fa.
  2291.  
  2292. Hilda: Help Gene!
  2293.  
  2294. // Suddenly, the wire snaps.
  2295.  
  2296. Hilda and Girl Pirate: Ah!
  2297.  
  2298. Gene: Hilda, I'm coming, hang in there!
  2299.  
  2300. Gilliam: You musn't, we'll just fall into Farfalas as well.
  2301.  
  2302. Jim: What about the ship's anchor?
  2303.  
  2304. Gilliam: The distance is too great.
  2305.  
  2306. Gene: Errh... Blast it!
  2307.  
  2308. Hilda: So there's nothing they can really do. Huh?
  2309.  
  2310. Girl Pirate: I won't let your people survive. Pa gu a sun fa. Pa gu a sun fa. Pa gu a sun fa.
  2311. Pa gu a sun fa. Pa gu a sun fa.
  2312.  
  2313. // Hilda grabs on to her.
  2314.  
  2315. Girl Pirate: What are you doing? Don't interfere!
  2316.  
  2317. Hilda: Still read me Gene? Just remember, outlaws never go down easy, no matter what happens to
  2318. them.
  2319.  
  2320. // They all fall into the star.
  2321.  
  2322. Gilliam: We have just exited Farfalas's gravity well.
  2323.  
  2324. Jim: Gene...
  2325.  
  2326. Gilliam: Gene, please lay the course.
  2327.  
  2328. Gene: Before we do that, there's something I've decided on.
  2329.  
  2330. Gilliam: Yes? What is it, Gene?
  2331.  
  2332. Gene: I've decided to name the ship. I'm naming it the Outlaw Star!

  2338. The Beast Girl. Ready to Pounce!
  2339.  
  2340.  
  2341.  
  2342.  
  2343.  
  2344. Narrator: This young girl grew up with joy, laughter and friendships. She felt nothing but the
  2345. pleasure of being in her place in the sun. This girl was born into a proud, noble
  2346. family, surrounded by love and graduated with honors from the highest academic
  2347. institution in the land. Now, not graduating with honors was only a faint shadow.
  2348. But in her land, where respect was given to rank, it held great meaning. The post
  2349. given to those who graduated with honor was space. She was then cast out of her place
  2350. in the sun. She had no other choice, the choice was not hers. She was officer Aisha
  2351. Clan Clan of the Ctarl Ctarl empire. Now the pleasure of her last place in the sun will
  2352. never return.
  2353.  
  2354. Aisha: It can't end like this! I won't let it!
  2355.  
  2356. // At Blue Heaven...
  2357.  
  2358. Mikey: Hey Swanzo, are you there?
  2359.  
  2360. Swanzo: Mikey? Haven't I told you before never to call me here?
  2361.  
  2362. Mikey: Sorry, its an emergency. Remember those people who were with Hilda a while back?
  2363.  
  2364. Swanzo: Uh... You talking about those kids?
  2365.  
  2366. Mikey: They're asking for docking clearance. They want us to do something about the control room.
  2367.  
  2368. Swanzo: What do you mean? Horus shouldn't have any trouble getting in. And where is Hilda?
  2369.  
  2370. Mikey: The ship isn't Horus, Swanzo. And it doesn't look like Horus's with them from what I can
  2371. tell.
  2372.  
  2373. Swanzo: Hilda's not with them?
  2374.  
  2375. --------------------------------
  2376.  
  2377. The Beast Girl. Ready to Pounce!
  2378.  
  2379. --------------------------------
  2380.  
  2381. Swanzo: I can't believe it, Hilda's dead?
  2382.  
  2383. Gene: Yep, believe it or not, thats what happened. This ship was all that was left.
  2384.  
  2385. Swanzo: So, what are you gonna do now sonny?
  2386.  
  2387. Gene: I don't know. I don't understand whats going on. Hilda, the pirates, the Galactic Leyline,
  2388. MacDougal. I'd like to start by figuring some of this stuff out.
  2389.  
  2390. Swanzo: Be careful.
  2391.  
  2392. Gene: Can you do me a favor?
  2393.  
  2394. Swanzo: What?
  2395.  
  2396. Gene: Well, the Outlaw Star here doesn't have a registration number, so we can't get into any
  2397. legitimate ports. The ship isn't outfitted yet. Heck, it hasn't even been painted.
  2398.  
  2399. Mikey: I see your point. Sow, you got any money?
  2400.  
  2401. Gene: Sorry, but I don't have anything on me.
  2402.  
  2403. Mikey: Around here we don't work for free.
  2404.  
  2405. Gene: How about I pay you when I make it big?
  2406.  
  2407. Mikey: Make it big? Hey this guy's a piece of work. (laughs)
  2408.  
  2409. Swanzo: Deal.
  2410.  
  2411. Mikey: Huh? Swanzo, are you insane?
  2412.  
  2413. Swanzo: I owe Hilda.
  2414.  
  2415. Mikey: Errhhh...
  2416.  
  2417. Jim: Excuse me.
  2418.  
  2419. Mikey: Now what?
  2420.  
  2421. Jim: We're short on a lot of other things. She can fly, but thats about it. Like we also need
  2422. weapons and ammunition.
  2423.  
  2424. Swanzo: The registration number and paint job will repay what I owe Hilda.
  2425.  
  2426. Jim: Wha?
  2427.  
  2428. Swanzo: Anyway, its useless. You can't get weapons for a grappler ship here. After that, you
  2429. gotta make it big. Understand, son?
  2430.  
  2431. Gene: Alright, I understand. One more thing.
  2432.  
  2433. Mikey: Now what is it?!
  2434.  
  2435. Gene: I'd like you to give me some information. About this ship, Hilda, MacDougal, and the pirates.
  2436.  
  2437. Swanzo: 5 years ago Hilda saved me when I was under attack by Ban pirates. Thats when we first
  2438. met. All I knew about her beforehand were simply rumors. Like the Galactic Leyline she
  2439. was after.
  2440.  
  2441. Gene: So you 2 had a cool relationship.
  2442.  
  2443. Swanzo: Cool? As far as I was concerned it was pretty great. Hot Ice Hilda.
  2444.  
  2445. Gene: Hot Ice Hilda?
  2446.  
  2447. Swanzo: Hilda's nickname.
  2448.  
  2449. Gene: Well, she didn't talk about herself much. No matter how hot it got. She had a way of
  2450. keeping things secret.
  2451.  
  2452. Swanzo: It was the Kai pirates that were after Hilda. Thats all I know.
  2453.  
  2454. Gene: And MacDougal?
  2455.  
  2456. Swanzo: He's a pro at covering his tracks. I dont' know anything about him.
  2457.  
  2458. Gene: Hmm... Suits me just fine. Then I'll have to hunt down his tracks by his scent.
  2459.  
  2460. Swanzo: There is one other thing you should know. The Ctarl Ctarl woman was poking around here.
  2461. She was trying to find out where Hilda and Horus might be.
  2462.  
  2463. Jim: She must be from that ship! A Ctarl Ctarl!
  2464.  
  2465. Swanzo: That battleship of theirs has already left. Well, we better get back to work. Why don't
  2466. you find something to do in town for a day?
  2467.  
  2468. Gene: We appreciate it.
  2469.  
  2470. Swanzo: Nah, don't mention it. By the way, whats your favorite color? You have to decide what
  2471. color the hull's going to be.
  2472.  
  2473. Gene: (pointing to hair) This color here I guess.
  2474.  
  2475. Swanzo: Got it.
  2476.  
  2477. Gene: Gilliam, for one day try to behave yourself.
  2478.  
  2479. Gilliam: Very well.
  2480.  
  2481. // At the hotel...
  2482.  
  2483. Jim: Hey, don't feel bad, cheer up. Uh... C'mon Gene, I was only trying to...
  2484.  
  2485. Gene: ...anything about herself. Why should she feel sad?
  2486.  
  2487. Jim: Yeah, but...
  2488.  
  2489. Melfina: It's alright.
  2490.  
  2491. Jim: Huh?
  2492.  
  2493. Melfina: I do have a sense of sadness about what has happened. After all, Hilda's the person who
  2494. saved me, I owe her my life.
  2495.  
  2496. Gene: Did you say you're sad? Erh... right, sad.
  2497.  
  2498. Jim: Ah, you're just mad Gene. She said she feels that way, so thats the way she feels.
  2499.  
  2500. Gene: I'm not mad.
  2501.  
  2502. // Flashes back to Hilda's death.
  2503.  
  2504. Gene: Guess I could be.
  2505.  
  2506. // Later, as they walk through Blue Heaven...
  2507.  
  2508. Gene: So, you really don't remember anything at all before Hilda came and rescued you?
  2509.  
  2510. Melfina: No.
  2511.  
  2512. Gene: Ah, man. Well, if you remember anything at all, be sure to tell us.
  2513.  
  2514. Melfina: Alright.
  2515.  
  2516. Jim: Oh, by the way Gene, do you think you've gotten over that space phobia of your's yet?
  2517.  
  2518. Gene: I don't know. Oh... Its still kinda hard to breathe. What am I gonna do?
  2519.  
  2520. Jim: Man, its a woner you were even able to pilot the Outlaw Star long enough to get us here.
  2521.  
  2522. Gene: Its different with that ship. I don't know, I guess its cause I don't feel like I'm all
  2523. cooped up in there.
  2524.  
  2525. Melfina: Thats the physical navigation system.
  2526.  
  2527. Gene: Oh... So you only remember stuff about the ship, huh?
  2528.  
  2529. Melfina: Yeah, it seems so. I wish I could remember.
  2530.  
  2531. Jim: Anyway, lets go get something to eat! I'm starving, huh? What do you say, guys?
  2532.  
  2533. Gene: Yeah, you're right. Let's go.
  2534.  
  2535. Jim: So Melfina, what do you wanna eat?
  2536.  
  2537. Melfina: Oh, anything's fine.
  2538.  
  2539. // However, they hear a voice from a cloaked figure behind them.
  2540.  
  2541. Aisha: Hey, you people hold it right there. I've waited and waited and I'm not waiting anymore.
  2542.  
  2543. Gene: Oh yeah, who are you?
  2544.  
  2545. Aisha: I wanna know where Hilda is.
  2546.  
  2547. Gene: Hey, what do you know about Hilda?
  2548.  
  2549. Aisha: I'm asking the questions here, stop wasting my time. now you will answer me, where is
  2550. Hilda?
  2551.  
  2552. Gene: Oh really. What do we have here? Another pushy little lady making her entrance.
  2553.  
  2554. Jim: What's your name, huh?
  2555.  
  2556. Aisha: My name is... Aisha Clan Clan!
  2557.  
  2558. Jim: She's a Ctarl Ctarl Gene!
  2559.  
  2560. Gene: Well, now I'm interested.
  2561.  
  2562. Aisha: I already happen to know that you and Hilda work together so stop fooling around and tell
  2563. me where she is!
  2564.  
  2565. Gene: Look, sorry about that little run in, we happened to be in a bit of a hurry. Your ship
  2566. wasn't damaged, was it?
  2567.  
  2568. Aisha: There was plenty of damage to me. Now answer me, where is Hilda?
  2569.  
  2570. Gene: Hilda's dead.
  2571.  
  2572. Aisha: What did you say?
  2573.  
  2574. Gene: Well, that should answer your question. Ok, see ya.
  2575.  
  2576. Aisha: Hold it right there! Tell me the coordinates of the Galactic Leyline. Since you worked
  2577. with Hilda, you should know that!
  2578.  
  2579. Gene: The Galactic Leyline? Hmm... So thats what you're after.
  2580.  
  2581. Aisha: Tell me the coordinates!
  2582.  
  2583. Gene: Kay, the coordinates are... listen carefully...
  2584.  
  2585. Aisha: Mmm hmm...
  2586.  
  2587. Gene: EXACTLY WHAT THE HECK I'D LIKE TO KNOW!!!
  2588.  
  2589. Aisha: Yeaah! Blast you, thats not funny!
  2590.  
  2591. Jim: We're telling you the truth, we don't know.
  2592.  
  2593. Aisha: So you're gonna play dumb to the bitter end. Then I'll just have to pull the answer out
  2594. of you by force.
  2595.  
  2596. Jim: Hey cut it out. I don't want to have to fight a girl. Thats not my style.
  2597.  
  2598. Aisha: Its not open to discussion.
  2599.  
  2600. Gene: Well then, in that case... run!
  2601.  
  2602. // They run from her.
  2603.  
  2604. Aisha: Huh? You cowards!
  2605.  
  2606. // She kicks Gene and knocks him over.
  2607.  
  2608. Jim: Ah! Gene... No!
  2609.  
  2610. Gene: Darnet.
  2611.  
  2612. // She attacks again, but they dodge it.
  2613.  
  2614. Jim: Ah! Oh no, this is really bad Gene, thats a Ctarl Ctarl you're fighting.
  2615.  
  2616. // They run to an alley. Aisha attacks but, Gene manages to knock her down.
  2617.  
  2618. Aisha: Huh? Oh no.
  2619.  
  2620. // She gets back up.
  2621.  
  2622. Aisha: Not bad.
  2623.  
  2624. Gene: Ctarl Ctarl. What do you know. You guys just act like average assassins. Well, you just had
  2625. to go pick a fight with me. Huh?
  2626.  
  2627. // Aisha removes her cloak.
  2628.  
  2629.  
  2630.  
  2631. Gene: Hey, I was just kidding.
  2632.  
  2633. Aisha: I will teach you the true terror of the Ctarl Ctarl. You will soon regret. (laughs)
  2634.  
  2635. Gene: Now what the heck is she doing, Jim?
  2636.  
  2637. Jim: Oh no. I remember. The Ctarl Ctarl. Those guys are metamorphs!
  2638.  
  2639. Gene: Metamorphs?
  2640.  
  2641. Jim: They change into an animal thats vicious.
  2642.  
  2643. Aisha: Did you call me an animal? Just watch this power inherited by my ancestors!
  2644.  
  2645. Gene: Ah!
  2646.  
  2647. Jim: This is bad Gene.
  2648.  
  2649. Aisha: This form here which can crush an entire human is usually kept in check for a reason.
  2650. It's power is severely amplified by the planet's moon!
  2651.  
  2652. Jim and Gene: Huh?
  2653.  
  2654. Gene: Uh... Blue Heaven doesn't have a moon.
  2655.  
  2656. Aisha: Huh? Oh... Come to think of it, it doesn't.
  2657.  
  2658. Gene: Idiot. Now run!
  2659.  
  2660. // They run.
  2661.  
  2662. Aisha: Hey! Come back here!
  2663.  
  2664. // She picks up her stuff.
  2665.  
  2666. Aisha: Hold it!
  2667.  
  2668. Jim: Hey Gene!
  2669.  
  2670. Aisha: Come back here!
  2671.  
  2672. Gene: Jim! Go buy some shells!
  2673.  
  2674. Jim: Buy what shells?
  2675.  
  2676. Gene: Caster shells!
  2677.  
  2678. Aisha: Hold it! Come back here!
  2679.  
  2680. Jim: Ah great... caster shells around here? Now what...
  2681.  
  2682. -------------------------------
  2683.  
  2684. Eyecatch
  2685.  
  2686. -------------------------------
  2687.  
  2688. // Gene and Melfina reach an upper section of the city.
  2689.  
  2690. Gene: That was close. Looks like we finally lost her.
  2691.  
  2692. // Gene sees a giant window into space in front of them.
  2693.  
  2694. Gene: Uh...
  2695.  
  2696. Melfina: Oh no, are you alright Gene? There's a bench over there where you can sit down.
  2697.  
  2698. Gene: Uh... maybe I'll never get over this.
  2699.  
  2700. // He notices Melfina is staring at a bunch of flowers.
  2701.  
  2702. Gene: Hey, whats the matter with you? Haven't you seen flowers before?
  2703.  
  2704. Melfina: They're artificial. These flowers were made just like me. Why was I made? Who made me?
  2705. And what did they make me for? I... who am I and why am I here?
  2706.  
  2707. // Gene walks up to her.
  2708.  
  2709. Gene: I've never seen an android like you before. even when I'm this close I can't tell that
  2710. you're not human. You eat, you feel sad, you're even able to worry about you're own
  2711. existence.
  2712.  
  2713. Melfina: I bet Hilda could have given me the answer but now she's no longer here.
  2714.  
  2715. // Gene pulls on her cheek.
  2716.  
  2717. Melfina: Oww, that hurts, please stop doing that to me.
  2718.  
  2719. Gene: You're surprised, you feel pain, you even complain. Heh heh heh. Bet you could search the
  2720. whole galaxy and never find one like you. Don't worry, I'll find you an answer someday.
  2721. You're my responsibility now. I promised Hilda I'd take care of you and I'm going to.
  2722.  
  2723. Melfina: Take care of me?
  2724.  
  2725. Gene: Yeah, and our having another mystery or two won't really change anything. Don't worry,
  2726. Melfina I'll find your past.
  2727.  
  2728. Melfina: Ah!
  2729.  
  2730. Gene: But to be perfectly honest we don't have a single clue to go on. Of course asking the
  2731. pirates would be the easiest thing. No way, I'd rather eat crow.
  2732.  
  2733. Melfina: Yeah, I feel the same way.
  2734.  
  2735. Gene: You'd rather eat crow? Heh.
  2736.  
  2737. Melfina: No, uh I mean... I guess so.
  2738.  
  2739. Gene: Melfina, it'll be a long road, but I'd like you to come with us.
  2740.  
  2741. Melfina: If I won't be too much trouble.
  2742.  
  2743. Gene: You won't be any trouble. Anyway, without you, it would be a royal pain in the you know
  2744. what to pilot the Outlaw Star.
  2745.  
  2746. Melfina: Right!
  2747.  
  2748. Gene: All right, that settles it. Jim, you there? You read me Jim? Where are you?
  2749.  
  2750. Jim: Some place that most likely... doesn't have shells.
  2751.  
  2752. Gene: It looks like we gave her the slip. Lets meet at the corner.
  2753.  
  2754. Jim: Ok.
  2755.  
  2756. Gene: Aahhh!
  2757.  
  2758. Jim: What is it, whats going on Gene?
  2759.  
  2760. Aisha: Be a good boy and give yourself up.
  2761.  
  2762. Gene: Ah man, you're persistant.
  2763.  
  2764. Aisha: Shut up! Arrr!
  2765.  
  2766. Gene: Stand back Mel.
  2767.  
  2768. Aisha: Grrr...
  2769.  
  2770. // They fight. He swipes at her with a knife, but does no damage.
  2771.  
  2772. Aisha: Hmph.
  2773.  
  2774. Gene: Ah!
  2775.  
  2776. Aisha: Hee hee.
  2777.  
  2778. // She breaks it with ease.
  2779.  
  2780. Gene: Ah! What the hecks that skin of yours made of?
  2781.  
  2782. Aisha: That was just half of my strength. I think I'll show you what our full beast strength is
  2783. huh. Arrr!
  2784.  
  2785. // She falls over.
  2786.  
  2787. Gene: Oh...
  2788.  
  2789. Aisha: I must have burnt too many calories.
  2790.  
  2791. // Later, they eat at a restaurant...
  2792.  
  2793. Aisha: Yum...
  2794.  
  2795. Gene: So just because of what happened they deliberately stranded you here at Blue Heaven?
  2796.  
  2797. Aisha: I have a title as resident officer.
  2798.  
  2799. Jim: But don't you get some kind of salary?
  2800.  
  2801. Aisha: I just don't get any money from the empire. Yeah, if I used any of my own money to track
  2802. you down, I would have been broke in no time.
  2803.  
  2804. Gene: If we're not careful guys, she's gonna eat the food right off our plates.
  2805.  
  2806. Jim: Hey, these are delicious. You wanna try them?
  2807.  
  2808. Melfina: Ah... Thank you very much.
  2809.  
  2810. Aisha: Ah...
  2811.  
  2812. Gene: Man, you can really chow down.
  2813.  
  2814. Jim: That was supposed to feed 4 people...
  2815.  
  2816. Aisha: May I...
  2817.  
  2818. Jim: Yeah?
  2819.  
  2820. Gene: What now?
  2821.  
  2822. Aisha: Yum, I'm ready for seconds!
  2823.  
  2824. Gene: Ah... suit yourself.
  2825.  
  2826. Aisha: Get me another! Get me another!
  2827.  
  2828. Gene: In any case, we don't know anything. We don't have any informatioon that would be of use
  2829. to you.
  2830.  
  2831. Aisha: Ah!
  2832.  
  2833. Melfina: You know, these are good.
  2834.  
  2835. Jim: They sure are. I think I'll have some too.
  2836.  
  2837. Aisha: Ah... I'm so stuffed I couldn't possibly have another bite.
  2838.  
  2839. Gene: Okay, look I offered to buy you dinner because I felt a little guilty. Now I'd say this
  2840. makes us even.
  2841.  
  2842. Aisha: Heh heh. What a sucker. You terrans are such saps! A measely contribution like this would
  2843. never appease a CtarlL Ctarl...
  2844.  
  2845. Jim: Uh...
  2846.  
  2847. Gene: Appease? Now wait just a minute here.
  2848.  
  2849. Aisha: Understand this. A proud Ctarl Ctarl pays no heed to an enemy's compassion.
  2850.  
  2851. Gene: Well, I dont' think I do understand, so there must be something wrong with your standard.
  2852.  
  2853. Aisha: Silence! Don't tell me that you don't know anything. In the name of the Ctarl Ctarl empire
  2854. I place you under arrest. If you have a problem with that...
  2855.  
  2856. Jim: ...You're gonna turn back into an animal.
  2857.  
  2858. Aisha: Who are you calling an animal? Transformed, my strength would be enough to rip both of
  2859. you to shreds. Now I have more than enough energy to use all of my beast strength.
  2860.  
  2861. Gene: And who do you have to thank for that?
  2862.  
  2863. Aisha: You don't expect any gratitude, do ya? Do you honestly thing that would work on a Ctarl
  2864. Ctarl?
  2865.  
  2866. Gene: Man, these Ctarl Ctarl really are something else, ya know?
  2867.  
  2868. Aisha: Perhaps you don't understand, because a gun will never work on an immortal Ctarl Ctarl.
  2869.  
  2870. Gene: Is that so?
  2871.  
  2872. // He shoots her with his caster.
  2873.  
  2874. Aisha: Yaaaa!
  2875.  
  2876. Gene: You are an immortal Ctarl Ctarl. Waiter, you can just put everything on her tab. She says
  2877. that she's the Ctarl Ctarl resident officer. And don't let her weasel out of it.
  2878.  
  2879. Aisha: meow... meow...
  2880.  
  2881. // They head to the dock, where the Outlaw Star is all ready.
  2882.  
  2883. Jim: Woah... Totally awesome.
  2884.  
  2885. Gene: Nice.
  2886.  
  2887. Swanzo: I've also got the ship's registration number. I gave it to the ship's computer.
  2888.  
  2889. Mikey: What is it with that geezer computer? That stupid thing never seems to shut up.
  2890.  
  2891. Gene: I know what you're saying man. But we can't do anything about it, he's totally integrated
  2892. with the ship.
  2893.  
  2894. Gilliam: Pardon me, but if I'm not mistaken, wasn't that an indirect insult?
  2895.  
  2896. Gene: Hey! Stay out of it.
  2897.  
  2898. Gilliam: I'm worried about my future prospects Gene.
  2899.  
  2900. Gene: Shut up! I really appreciate the help Swanzo, Mikey.
  2901.  
  2902. Swanzo: Sure, so what are you gonna do now?
  2903.  
  2904. Gene: Well, for the time being I guess we'll plan to head back to Sentinel 3. After that, its all
  2905. up in the air.
  2906.  
  2907. Swanzo: Ah...
  2908.  
  2909. // He shows Gene a map of the territory they're in.
  2910.  
  2911. Swanzo: The territory of the Kai Pirates, the ones that were after Hilda, were originally around
  2912. here. The Tenpan Empire. The area we're in is inside the Ban Pirates territory. Those
  2913. Kai guys probably won't do anything too drastic, but you should be careful if you go out
  2914. past Heiphong.
  2915.  
  2916. Gene: Got it.
  2917.  
  2918. Mikey: So what do you plan on doing back on Sentinel 3?
  2919.  
  2920. Gene: I'll use some connections I have to get some parts and weapons that we're a little bit short
  2921. on.
  2922.  
  2923. Jim: Gene, no way are you really gonna contact him?
  2924.  
  2925. Gene: Like we have a choice Jim.
  2926.  
  2927. Mikey: A broker on Sentinel 3? Are you talking about Fred Lou?
  2928.  
  2929. Jim: You've heard of Lou?
  2930.  
  2931. Swanzo: Yeah, I've had some cool deals with his father.
  2932.  
  2933. Mikey; Yeah well if I had the chance I'd pass on any hot deals with Fred.
  2934.  
  2935. Jim: C'mon, you can't Gene!
  2936.  
  2937. Gene: Hey, he's not one of the bad guys don't worry nothings gonna go wrong.
  2938.  
  2939. Jim: Oh...
  2940.  
  2941. Gene: Hey, thanks for the help. We just might need it again someday. And if we do, you know we'll
  2942. be sure to come calling.
  2943.  
  2944. Mikey: Yeah, well be sure to make it big cause I"m not working for free anymore.
  2945.  
  2946. Swanzo: Redfon Vesidault. Uh...
  2947.  
  2948. Gene: Is that corboneze?
  2949.  
  2950. Swanzo: Wups, I mean bon voyage.
  2951.  
  2952. Gene: RIght... Thanks a lot Swanzo.
  2953.  
  2954. // The Outlaw Star takes off.
  2955.  
  2956. Gene: Control Room this is the Outlaw Star requesting clearance to leave port now.
  2957.  
  2958. Gilliam: We have just received clearance and all guide beacons are confirmed.
  2959.  
  2960. Melfina: We will follow beacons for direct guide to depart Blue Heaven space.
  2961.  
  2962. Jim: Uh... Fred Lou... I can't believe it.
  2963.  
  2964. Gene: It's alright, it'll be okay. Don't worry about it, alright Jim?
  2965.  
  2966. Jim: Uh... no way no way no way!
  2967.  
  2968. Gene: Lets get going Outlaw Star its time to launch!
  2969.  
  2970. // Elsewhere, Aisha is doing dishes.
  2971.  
  2972. Aisha: Blast it, how can I be forced to do such menial labor? I'm one of the proud Ctarl Ctarl.
  2973. Terran you'll pay for this mark my words.
  2974.  
  2975. Boss: Hey! Stop goofing around, get back to work you freeloader.
  2976.  
  2977. Aisha: Yes sir. Grr... I'll remember this!

  2991. Narrator: To kill. That is this woman's profession. To kill. That is the only means by which
  2992. she can survive. Her name is Suzuka. There are none who know her past. There are none
  2993. who ask about her past. Through battle, she finds herself. She weeps as she watches
  2994. the wind, and senses the currents of the universe in her skin. This is the kind ofwoman
  2995. that Suzuka is. She is not a special woman. All women are special. All women possess
  2996. many faces. Yet, no man has ever seen the faces of Suzuka. All that men can see is the
  2997. gleaming sword she holds in her hands. Even if these men who see her gleaming blade
  2998. were to receive just a brief smile, they would never see it or know of it while they
  2999. were alive. This woman's name is Suzuka. To kill, that is her profession.

  3008.  
  3009. Gene: Thats what I'm doing.
  3010.  
  3011. Guy: There's no wind today. What kind of landing is he trying to pull?
  3012.  
  3013. Gene: Hey, I haven't piloted a spaceship in 6 years. And my dad never taught me how to make
  3014. planet falls so this is the first time I've ever landed one.
  3015.  
  3016. Jim: Oh great, any other surprises you got for us?
  3017.  
  3018. Melfina: I'll handle the liscense with the landing beacons from here.

  3074. Gilliam: With this captain's piloting technique, I worry about my future prospects.
  3075.  
  3076. Gene: Hmph.
  3077.  
  3078. Guy: So, what'll it be? Will you be taking off once you resupply or do you plan to park here for
  3079. a while?
  3080.

  3089.  
  3090. Jim: So what do you wanna do Gene, go back to the shop?
  3091.  
  3092. Gene: No, I want to go to Fred Lou's place over in Hugo right away, but before that I'd like to
  3093. know what happened to our car.
  3094.  
  3095. Jim: Ah! It's been sitting in that silo.
  3096.  
  3097. Gene: Yeah, I wonder if its been stolen.
  3098.  
  3099. Jim: No way, it can't be!
  3100.  
  3101. Gene: Ah... lets just rent a car for now so we can get over to Hugo. We can make it in 3 hours
  3102. if we hurry.
  3103.  
  3104. // They head there in a car.
  3105.  
  3106. Jim: Ah... I sure hope my AoFrazo is okay after all this time.
  3107.  
  3108. Gene: Okay, once we've taken care of business we'll go look for it.
  3109.  
  3110. Jim: Alright, but I don't know how to act around that guy.
  3111.  
  3112. Gene: C'mon Jim, you think I know any better?
  3113.  
  3114. // They arrive at Fred's.
  3115.  
  3116. Fred: Oh Gene, its been so long.
  3117.  
  3118. Gene: You're looking well, Fred.
  3119.  
  3120. Fred: You never call me, you never write me, I never hear from you. I'm so very happy you came
  3121. to see me.
  3122.  
  3123. Gene: Yeah, I'm happy too.
  3124.  
  3125. Melfina: Is this Gene's friend Fred Lou?
  3126.  
  3127. Jim: Yeah, that'd be him. Gene did some job for him a while ago.
  3128.  
  3129. Fred: Oh, is that you, James? It looks like you're growing up quickly.
  3130.  
  3131. Jim: Yeah, well I guess.
  3132.  
  3133. Fred: Oh...
  3134.  
  3135. Jim: Yeah, yeah okay its nice to see you too Fred.
  3136.  
  3137. Fred: I can't wait to see you in another 2 or 3 years.
  3138.  
  3139. Jim: Yeah well in 2 or 3 years I'll be some place far far away.
  3140.  
  3141. Fred: Well then I'd just come after you to the edge of the universe if I had to. And who might
  3142. this young lady be?
  3143.  
  3144. Melfina: How do you do, my name is Melfina.
  3145.  
  3146. Fred: Yes, pleased to meet you.
  3147.  
  3148. Gene: Fred, I have some business to discuss with you. Man, its a good thing you're here on
  3149. Sentinel and I found you.
  3150.  
  3151. Fred: Yeah, my father secured our company's holding on Heiphong. Now that I'm in charge I want
  3152. to concentrate efforts on the fronteir. If I don't expand the Lou family's market beyond
  3153. what my dad has, I'll be a laughing stock.
  3154.  
  3155. Gene: And whats going on with earth?
  3156.  
  3157. Fred: Well, the Federation merchants are pretty powerful there.
  3158.  
  3159. Fred: So, whats this business you mentioned huh?
  3160.  
  3161. Gene: Its my spaceship, i'm gonna need to
  3162.  
  3163. // Fred tries to kiss Gene
  3164.  
  3165. Gene: Ah!
  3166.  
  3167. Fred: It was just a joke, just a joke
  3168.  
  3169. Gene: C'mon man, i thought i told you that i hate those jokes of yours fred
  3170.  
  3171. Fred: Ok, ok no more jokes alright
  3172.  
  3173. Gene: Yeah right
  3174.  
  3175. Fred: I'll be serious from now on
  3176.  
  3177. Gene: Its even worse when you're serious
  3178.  
  3179. Fred: So whats this I hear about a spaceship?
  3180.  
  3181. Gene: Thats right, I finally got my hands on one.
  3182.  
  3183. Fred: Well, thats great. You know Gene, you really should have gone into space a long time ago.
  3184.  
  3185. Gene: I know, but the ship doesn't have any equipment or weapons. I want you to sell me some.
  3186.  
  3187. Fred: Gene, we may be friends but business is business. Do youhave any idea how much weapons and
  3188. equipment cost?
  3189.  
  3190. Gene: Yeah, I know, I know, but I'm not to sure what the situation is on this one. I have a
  3191. grappler ship.
  3192.  
  3193. Fred: Oh? You know, we have a rule in the Lou family to never ask the customer why. That means
  3194. we sell the customer what they want, no questions asked. But for the first time in my
  3195. life, I want to break the rules.
  3196.  
  3197. Gene: I dont' know Fred, I don't know if you should break that rule.
  3198.  
  3199. Fred: Oh dear, its even more expensive with a grappler ship. And we can't go through our legitimate
  3200. routes. But I think I will be able to help you with the equipment. Except when are you
  3201. gonna pay me?
  3202.  
  3203. Gene: When I make it big!
  3204.  
  3205. Fred: Gene, we have another rule in the Lou family. Trust can't be bought with money, but it can't
  3206. take its place either. Trusting you and knowing I'll be payed by you is 2 different things
  3207. all together.
  3208.  
  3209. Gene: Now that rule you can break alright.
  3210.  
  3211. Fred: C'mon Gene, you know you can't do business without some assurance you'll be paid.
  3212.  
  3213. Gene: Look, I'll write out what I want so can you atleast give an estimate?
  3214.  
  3215. Fred: I suppose, but after you've seen the price on the estimate you may have a change of heart.
  3216. Use the desk in the display area its time for my next appointment.
  3217.  
  3218. Gene: Alright then.
  3219.  
  3220. // They go to the other room.
  3221.  
  3222. Guard: Hey you
  3223.  
  3224. Gene: Hmm?
  3225.  
  3226. Guard: Do you know why we don't turn you away and lock you out even though you're rude to the
  3227. young master?
  3228.  
  3229. Gene: Uh, cause you'll get yourself hurt if you take me on?
  3230.  
  3231. Guard: No, cause the young master happens to love you
  3232.  
  3233. Gene: What was that?
  3234.  
  3235. Jim: I don't even know.
  3236.  
  3237. Gene: Damn, he's more tight-fisted than i thought he was.
  3238.  
  3239. Jim: Thats how people operate Gene.
  3240.  
  3241. // A cloaked woman passes them.
  3242.  
  3243. Gene: Hmm...
  3244.  
  3245. Jim: Hey, aren't you gonna put together that list for an estimate?
  3246.  
  3247. Gene: Oh yeah, right.
  3248.  
  3249. // In Fred's office.
  3250.  
  3251. Fred: Welcome young lady. I see that you were referred by Mr. O. You need large quantities of
  3252. military rifles then.
  3253.  
  3254. Suzuka: No, I don't want any rifles.
  3255.  
  3256. Fred: Excuse me, what do you want then?
  3257.  
  3258. Suzuka: And the referral from Mr. O is a lie as well.
  3259.  
  3260. // She takes out the two guards next to her.
  3261.  
  3262. Suzuka: What I want Mr. Lou, is your life.
  3263.  
  3264. Fred: Huh?
  3265.  
  3266. Suzuka: I will let you stay for just another 5 minutes, you may feel free to take the time to
  3267. write out a farewell letter to say your goodbyes. However, should you not accept your
  3268. death under these terms you will perish at once.
  3269.  
  3270. Fred: Why is it that you're after me?
  3271.  
  3272. Suzuka: If you continue to expand your market someone else's is bound to shrink. Some people find
  3273. that unacceptable.
  3274.  
  3275. Fred: Is it Ralph, or is it Otto? Who could it be?
  3276.  
  3277. Suzuka: You have 4 minutes. The sun will soon drift below the horizon.
  3278.  
  3279. Fred: I can't believe it, you're Twilight Suzuka?
  3280.  
  3281. Suzuka: Introductions are a bit late, don't you think you should put better use to what little
  3282. time you have left? After all, that is a fitting way to die.
  3283.  
  3284. Fred: Uh...
  3285.  
  3286. Suzuka: Is something the matter? You have only 3 minutes.
  3287.  
  3288. // Gene walks in.
  3289.  
  3290. Gene: Hey Fred...
  3291.  
  3292. // She attacks him, Gene shoots at her but she has a light shield. Gene hides behind a broken
  3293. table to load his gun.
  3294.  
  3295.  
  3296.  
  3297. Gene: A light shield, huh?
  3298.  
  3299. Fred: Gene, I'm over here, save me, save me! Help me, Gene.
  3300.  
  3301. Gene: Stay down.
  3302.  
  3303. // He shoots at her, she attacks him but he has a shield too.
  3304.  
  3305. Gene: I have a light shield too.
  3306.  
  3307. Suzuka: I won't tolerate interference.
  3308.  
  3309. Gene: Okay, what do you say we play fair?
  3310.  
  3311. // Gene grabs a sword off the wall.
  3312.  
  3313. Suzuka: Charming, do you actually think your using a sword would be challenging?
  3314.  
  3315. // Gene swings it around.
  3316.  
  3317. Suzuka: Huh?
  3318.  
  3319. Gene: Whats that?
  3320.  
  3321. Suzuka: Its too late, I failed to kill him! Heeyah!
  3322.  
  3323. Gene: Gwaahh!
  3324.  
  3325. // She breaks a hole in the ceiling and escapes.
  3326.  
  3327. Fred: I'm okay Gene!
  3328.  
  3329. Suzuka: Fred Lou, I'll wait for your life. Just until the next sunset.
  3330.  
  3331. Gene: Man, she knows how to make a fast exit.
  3332.  
  3333. Fred: Gene, you saved my life. You have to keep on protecting me until this is all over.
  3334.  
  3335. Gene: What you want me to do something about her? I'll take the job, but only if you do
  3336. something about this.
  3337.  
  3338. // He hands Fred something.
  3339.  
  3340. Fred: Huh? If this is all you need, its a bargain.
  3341.  
  3342. Gene: Huh? What?
  3343.  
  3344. Fred: You don't understand. No one has ever been targetted by Twilight Suzuka and lived. She's an
  3345. A Class assassin.
  3346.  
  3347. Gene: Oh yeah?
  3348.  
  3349. Fred: What may I ask are you doing?
  3350.  
  3351. Gene: I'm adding in some missiles that I was holding back on.
  3352.  
  3353. Fred: Huh?
  3354.  
  3355. // On a nearby rooftop...
  3356.  
  3357. Suzuka: First I must deal with that bodyguard.
  3358.

  3360.  
  3361. Eyecatch
  3362.  
  3363. -----------------
  3364.  
  3365. Guard 1: It doesn't seem to be a sensor malfunction.
  3366.  
  3367. Guard 2: But the sensor didn't pick up anything at all, I don't understand.
  3368.  
  3369. Gene: It was a Bukuto. It's a sword made of wood. It would never be picked up by the sensors.
  3370.  
  3371. Guard 2: A wooden sword?
  3372.  
  3373. Guard 1: Are you saying she did this with a wooden sword?
  3374.  
  3375. Gene: Thats exactly what I'm saying. Hey Fred, you got any caster shells around here?
  3376.  
  3377. Fred: There's little demand for them. Plus they're antiques, so that just isn't our style around
  3378. here.
  3379.  
  3380. Gene: So what are you gonna do?
  3381.  
  3382. Fred: What am I gonna do?
  3383.  
  3384. Gene: Yeah, are you gonna wait for her to show up again, or are you gonna get the hell out of
  3385. here?
  3386.  
  3387. Jim: Well she did tell you you had til the next sunset.
  3388.  
  3389. Gene: People like that always stick to their style. And you can bet they'll go after anyone who
  3390. interferes with it.
  3391.  
  3392. Jim: And since you interfered I guess shes going after you.
  3393.  
  3394. Gene: Oh shit.
  3395.  
  3396. Fred: Wait a minute here, let me think things over. Theres got to be a way outta this. I've got
  3397. it! Why not track down her employer and kill him first?
  3398.  
  3399. Gene: Assuming we can find him before the next sunset, which is 23 hours from now. Well guys,
  3400. lets get going.
  3401.  
  3402. Fred: Huh? But where are we going?
  3403.  
  3404. Gene: I'm tired, I wanna find a hotel and get some rest.
  3405.  
  3406. Fred: But you can't, Gene! You've gotta stay with me, you can't leave.
  3407.  
  3408. Gene: See ya.
  3409.  
  3410. Fred: If you need a place to stay, you can use my room. Stay with me, wherever I am, in my bed,
  3411. in my bath...
  3412.  
  3413. Gene: Thanks a lot fred but I'll pass, she'll stay true to her word, see ya.
  3414.  
  3415. Fred: But... But... Gene!
  3416.  
  3417. Gene: I'll give you a call once we get a hotel.
  3418.  
  3419. // They leave.
  3420.  
  3421. Jim: Hey, are you really gonna be his bodyguard?
  3422.  
  3423. Gene: Like I have a choice. Look Jim, you know that the Outlaw Star needs a whole mess of
  3424. supplies. If he says I can't pay him back when I make it big...
  3425.  
  3426. Suzuka: That is no longer a possibility. I am Twilight Suzuka. Shall we not waste anymore time
  3427. and begin our duel?
  3428.  
  3429. Gene: I'm Gene Starwind. I'm sorry to dissappoint you, but dueling isn't an outlaw custom.
  3430.  
  3431. Suzuka: Once the opponents have named themselves the fight has begun.
  3432.  
  3433. // She attacks.
  3434.  
  3435. Gene: What? You gotta be kidding me. Melfina, go back to Fred's place!
  3436.  
  3437. Jim: What about me?
  3438.  
  3439. Gene: Back me up!
  3440.  
  3441. Jim: No way!
  3442.  
  3443. // Gene runs.
  3444.  
  3445. Gene: Great...
  3446.  
  3447. // He runs through an alley.
  3448.  
  3449. Gene: Damn, my gun's useless.
  3450.  
  3451. // He rushes across traffic. Suzuka arrives and chops an incoming bus in half with her sword.
  3452.  
  3453. Gene: That was great! Was that one of those tricks only masters can do?
  3454.  
  3455. Suzuka: That was merely a feat of strength. Secret techniques aren't necessary against those who
  3456. run.
  3457.  
  3458. Gene: Heh heh, you hurt my feelings.
  3459.  
  3460. Suzuka: Why don't you stop running and learn to face me?
  3461.  
  3462. // Jim pulls up in his car.
  3463.  
  3464. Jim: Gene, get in!
  3465.  
  3466. Gene: See ya later!
  3467.  
  3468. Suzuka: You can't get away!
  3469.  
  3470. Jim: Gene, she's following us!
  3471.  
  3472. Gene: Damn, that lady's persistant, looks like I'll have to take her on. Jim, while you're on the
  3473. road, I'll need you to do something for me.
  3474.  
  3475. // The arrive at a dueling point.
  3476.  
  3477. Jim: Eh...
  3478.  
  3479. Suzuka: Have you finally decided to face me in a duel?
  3480.  
  3481. Gene: You know, I got to do something about you, otherwise I'm not gonna get what I want from
  3482. Fred.
  3483.  
  3484. Suzuka: Worldy desires are foolish. They have cost you your life.
  3485.  
  3486. Gene: Perhaps, and there is some desires that are big enough to risk your life for. This is one
  3487. of them. I have to put my life on the line for this.
  3488.  
  3489. Suzuka: What are you up to now?
  3490.  
  3491.  
  3492.  
  3493. Gene: Get down here! Whats the matter, are you scared?
  3494.  
  3495. Suzuka: You fool! Heeyah!
  3496.  
  3497. // She attacks him, but he blocks the attack with his hands.
  3498.  
  3499. Suzuka: A shield?!
  3500.  
  3501. Gene: If you focus them on a single point, then you can do this! You need to know the trick to it.
  3502.  
  3503. Suzuka: That won't work.
  3504.  
  3505. // His light shield runs out of power.
  3506.  
  3507. Gene: Damn it!
  3508.  
  3509. // He knocks her sword out of her hand. They run after it.
  3510.  
  3511. Gene: Come back here!
  3512.  
  3513. // Gene grabs at her sash and tears it off. Suzuka falls.
  3514.  
  3515. Suzuka: Ah!
  3516.  
  3517. // Gene reaches the sword.
  3518.  
  3519. Gene: I got it!
  3520.  
  3521. Suzuka: Give that to me.
  3522.  
  3523. Gene: Which one?
  3524.  
  3525. Suzuka: Both of them!
  3526.  
  3527. Gene: Hmm...
  3528.  
  3529. // Gene smells her sash.
  3530.  
  3531. Suzuka: Stop that, what do you think you're doing?
  3532.  
  3533. Gene: This smells real nice. thats a beautiful woman for you.
  3534.  
  3535. Suzuka: Will you stop fooling around?
  3536.  
  3537. Gene: If you want your sword and sash back, I suggest you let Fred Lou be.
  3538.  
  3539. Suzuka: I plan on carrying out my contract.
  3540.  
  3541. Gene: Then I won't give them back, the sash will go in my collection and I'll just break the
  3542. sword.
  3543.  
  3544. Suzuka: You can't! I won't let you do that.
  3545.  
  3546. Gene: Like you can do anything about it.
  3547.  
  3548. Suzuka: Damn you.
  3549.  
  3550. Gene: Yeah, I don't wanna hear it anymore. We're making a deal right now, a deal on my terms, a
  3551. draw and nothing more.
  3552.  
  3553. Suzuka: Anything but a draw! If I had used a secret technique first this wouldn't have happened.
  3554.  
  3555. Gene: Can't handle it? Then fine, you lost. You underestimated me.
  3556.  
  3557. Suzuka: I lost? I can't.
  3558.  
  3559. Gene: If it were just a fight between you and me, there wouldn't be a problem, but I don't stand
  3560. a chance fighting over Fred's skin. I can't stay with Fred and protect him for the rest of
  3561. my life. I'm going back into space.
  3562.  
  3563. Suzuka: You mean to tell me you're not his bodyguard after all of this?
  3564.  
  3565. Gene: No, I told you right from the start, I'm an outlaw.
  3566.  
  3567. Suzuka: Outlaw?
  3568.  
  3569. Gene: Thats right.
  3570.  
  3571. Suzuka: I will carry out my contract, I'll keep trying as long as I live. I still have my pride.
  3572.  
  3573. Gene: Then you will die! Twilight Suzuka just died. Forget about your contract.
  3574.  
  3575. Suzuka: Flawed reasoning like that will not convince me to give up.
  3576.  
  3577. Gene: Well, works for me. Here, you can have these back as payment for Fred's life.
  3578.  
  3579. Suzuka: Wait, you must understand, I cannot consent to a deal like that.
  3580.  
  3581. Gene: Why? Because you're bound by a contract?
  3582.  
  3583. Suzuka: No, by my pride.
  3584.  
  3585. Gene: Well then, I guess I'm the one who damaged your pride so how bout we try and make another
  3586. deal. If you're gonna kill Fred then you'll have to fight me first.
  3587.  
  3588. Suzuka: Yes, that goes without saying.
  3589.  
  3590. Gene: Great, we have a deal then. On your pride now, don't forget what you said.
  3591.  
  3592. Suzuka: What? But I um...
  3593.  
  3594. Gene: I'll be careful during sunsets, okay?
  3595.  
  3596. Suzuka: But... alright.
  3597.  
  3598. Gene: Okay, that settles it then.
  3599.  
  3600. Jim: Gene, are you sure thats a good idea saying that?
  3601.  
  3602. Gene: Theres not much else I can say Jim, protecting myself is gonna be a lot easier than
  3603. protecting Fred.
  3604.  
  3605. Jim: Okay, fine, whatever you say.
  3606.  
  3607. Suzuka: That man... why...
  3608.  
  3609. // Later, at Fred's...
  3610.  
  3611. Fred: So I should deliver them to dock 26 at Locus's space port then.
  3612.  
  3613. Gene: Yeah, thats it.
  3614.  
  3615. Fred: I knew I could count on you Gene, you truly saved my life. Twilight Suzuka won't be coming
  3616. after me anymore, right?
  3617.  
  3618. Gene: Yeah, but I'm not so sure about the guy who hired her.
  3619.  
  3620. Fred: Well, I can handle that, give enough time, I'll be able to find him.
  3621.  
  3622. Gene: Well, I hope to get more help from you in the future. Lets just say you owe me for getting
  3623. Suzuka to want to get me.
  3624.  
  3625. Fred: What I owe you comes to 750000 wong.
  3626.  
  3627. Gene: What are you talking about?
  3628.  
  3629. Fred: Thats whats left when you subtract the cost of the items you ordered from how much it would
  3630. have cost to hire Suzuka.
  3631.  
  3632. Gene: Damn it Fred. Hey you guys, I thought you said he loved me.
  3633.  
  3634. Guard 1: The young master gave you a 30 percent discount.
  3635.  
  3636. Fred: Thats right Gene, a discount.
  3637.  
  3638. Gene: Huh?
  3639.  
  3640. Fred: Ah... i look forward to a long relationship. it costs a lot to maintain a spaceship. Even
  3641. more for a Grappler ship you know.
  3642.  
  3643. Gene: yeah Fred I know. Those damn merchants.
  3644.  
  3645. // In the car...
  3646.  
  3647. Gene: Thats it, the negotiations are over.
  3648.  
  3649. Jim: Oh, I see.
  3650.  
  3651. Melfina: Gene, do you think you pursuaded that warrior woman to give up?
  3652.  
  3653. Jim: I wouldn't call it pursuaded exactly.
  3654.  
  3655. Gene: Hey, I couldn't just kill her, so sue me!
  3656.  
  3657. Jim: Yeah, yeah.
  3658.  
  3659. Melfina: Oh.
  3660.  
  3661. // Elsewhere...
  3662.  
  3663. Suzuka: Gene Starwind, this isn't over.

  3676.  
  3677. Narrator: The Toard Star World where Gene presides is a measureless one. Far away from the central
  3678. area, 4 known pirate groups vie for supremacy. One of the 4 is after the Outlaw Star and Melfina,
  3679. to destroy them. This particular group are pirates of the Hopo system. They are called the 108
  3680. Suns, the most brutal member of the Chinese Guild. Centered around Tendo, the 108 suns are made
  3681. up of small groups of 10 or 20. The leaders of these groups control independent organizations,
  3682. and they also pursue their own interests. Presently, the boss of the pirates who are now pursuing
  3683. Gene is called Hazanko. He has power with the 108 suns. But because of the extent of that power,
  3684. the power of his organization and the power of the methods he employs to achieve his goals, it
  3685. is said that the other leaders consider him superior. It is also said that the squads that carry
  3686. out his orders use a super power called Sinjitsu and alsways slay those that stand against them.
  3687.  
  3688. Gene: Are you ready Gilliam
  3689.  
  3690. Gilliam: Ready.
  3691.  
  3692. Gene: Lets do it. Activating all sensor systems. CFS activated. Radar activated.
  3693.  
  3694. Gilliam: All sensors are functioning.
  3695.  
  3696. Gene: Ether drive systems activated. Gravity control systems activated. Sub ether drive systems
  3697. set.
  3698.  
  3699. Gilliam: Navigation system active. All systems green.
  3700.  
  3701. Gene; Gravity cycle unit system activated. Go!
  3702.  
  3703. Gilliam: The fusioin reactor comes first.
  3704.  
  3705. Gene: Uh oh.
  3706.  
  3707. Gilliam: Fusion reactor now activating. Sub-Reactor 1 operational and number 2. Number 3 abnormal.
  3708.  
  3709. Gene: What?
  3710.  
  3711. Gilliam: Output falling. 70... 50... 30...
  3712.  
  3713. Gene: What do I do Gilliam?
  3714.  
  3715. Gilliam: Run a parabalance with the remaining reactors.
  3716.  
  3717. Gene: Oh yeah.
  3718.  
  3719. Gilliam: Reactors 2 and 4 output: 120... 130... 140... 160... 180... They are about to explode
  3720. right now.
  3721.  
  3722. Gene: Uh? What?
  3723.  
  3724. Gilliam: T minus 10 to critical. 10... 9... 8... 7... 6... 5... 4... 3... 2...
  3725.  
  3726. // Gene shuts off the ship.
  3727.  
  3728. Gilliam: Another failed liftoff I see.
  3729.  
  3730. Gene: You're the one who made me screw up! Every stinkin time you make trouble.
  3731.  
  3732. Gilliam: Preparing for unexpected situations are what simulations are for. If you are unable to
  3733. manually respond to a small problem like this, a lift off is probably out of the question
  3734. for the time being.
  3735.  
  3736. Gene: Bite me!
  3737.  
  3738. // He leaves.
  3739.  
  3740. Gilliam: Well, the ship hasn't been completely outfitted yet. So I suppose there's no rush.
  3741.  
  3742. Gene: Oh well. Looks like I better get back to work.

  3750. Melfina: Hm? Ah. Welcome back.
  3751.  
  3752. Gene: So, anything new?
  3753.  
  3754. // He throws an apple at her.
  3755.  
  3756. Melfina: No, not really Ah! Oh.
  3757.  
  3758. Gene: What about Jim?
  3759.  
  3760. Melfina: At the Police Station.
  3761.  
  3762. Gene: Police Station?
  3763.  
  3764. Melfina: Yes. Apparantly they impounded Jim's car.
  3765.  
  3766. Gene: The Ao Frao?
  3767.  
  3768. Melfina: Yes, thats what he said.
  3769.  
  3770. Gene: Hmm... Well that sort of thing doesn't happen in Locus very often.
  3771.  
  3772. Melfina: Hm.
  3773.  
  3774. Gene: I sure don't like this. Something's fishy. Hm?
  3775.  
  3776. // Jim's out in his car.
  3777.  
  3778. Jim: Hey Gene! I found her! I found her! Hey Gene! Ah, she's safe and sound. I'll never leave
  3779. ya baby.
  3780.  
  3781. Gene: I definately don't like this.
  3782.  
  3783. // A few pirates are listening in on their conversations.
  3784.  
  3785. Jim: They said she racked up too many parking tickets. I tried hard to come up with an excuse.
  3786.  
  3787. Gene: You should have just told them that we were attacked by pirates.
  3788.  
  3789. Jim: No way. They never would have believed me. You don't even know how much the fine and towing
  3790. costs added up tube. Its crazy I'm telling you.
  3791.  
  3792. // Later, they head to Clyde's bar.
  3793.  
  3794. Clyde: What'll it be... Gene! I can't believe you two are still alive.
  3795.  
  3796. Gene; Yeay, its good to see you too Clyde.
  3797.  
  3798. Clyde: I hear that some pirates were after you, so I just assumed that...
  3799.  
  3800. Iris: Gene... Thank goodness.
  3801.  
  3802. Gene: Iris, oh its okay.
  3803.  
  3804. Iris: I've been so worried about you.
  3805.  
  3806. Gene; Oh Iris, you sweet thing.
  3807.  
  3808. Jim: I'll tell you who's the sweet talker, you.
  3809.  
  3810. Iris: Its been 2 weeks, what have you been up tol.
  3811.  
  3812. Gene: Its a long, boring story, you don't want to know.
  3813.  
  3814. Iris: You're bad. Hm? Oh, and who are you?
  3815.  
  3816. Gene: That's Melfina. She's a new friend.
  3817.  
  3818. Clyde: Iris!
  3819.  
  3820. Iris: errh... Yeah! Hmph.
  3821.  
  3822. Gene: Clyde, has anyone been asking questions about us, I mean questions they shoudn't be asking?
  3823.  
  3824. Clyde: Well, after that fight its been pretty busy in here. But nobody's asked any important
  3825. questions.
  3826.  
  3827. Gene: Hm.... I sure don't like this.
  3828.  
  3829. Jim: Whats your problem?
  3830.  
  3831. Gene: It's nothing.
  3832.  
  3833. // Later, they sit down at a table.
  3834.  
  3835. Gene: Its seems like such a long time. But it hasn't even been 2 whole weeks since we left here.
  3836.  
  3837. Jim: So, now what're we gonna do?
  3838.  
  3839. Gene: Well, the rest of the container we ordered from Fred should be coming in tomorrow. We have
  3840. to get the Outlaw Star into perfect working order.
  3841.  
  3842. Jim: Well yeah, that'd be nice but...
  3843.  
  3844. Gene: But what?
  3845.  
  3846. Jim: To be blunt idiot, we are broke!
  3847.  
  3848. Gene: What do you mean? The account?
  3849.  
  3850. Jim: Well yeah, there's not much left. The space port rental took up a lot of dough.
  3851.  
  3852. Gene: No way! Hm...
  3853.  
  3854. Jim: One. We earn money the hard way.
  3855.  
  3856. Gene: But then I wouldn't have time to work on the Outlaw Star.
  3857.  
  3858. Jim: Two. We earn it the easy way.
  3859.  
  3860. Gene: Hey Clyde, have any big bounties turned up lately?
  3861.  
  3862. Clyde: No way, not since that time you took down Death Rob.
  3863.  
  3864. Gene: Erh.
  3865.  
  3866. Jim: Three. The sleazy way.
  3867.  
  3868. Gene: How?
  3869.  
  3870. Jim: Maybe sell your body?
  3871.  
  3872. Gene: Yours would sell better.
  3873.  
  3874. Jim: I guess three's a bust then.
  3875.  
  3876. Gene: Hmm... Four. We pay later.
  3877.  
  3878. Jim: Pay who?
  3879.  
  3880. Gene: I don't know.
  3881.  
  3882. Clyde: I don't take credit here you know.
  3883.  
  3884. Gene and Jim: Ah. Oh man.
  3885.  
  3886. Jim: Well its gotta be number one then.
  3887.  
  3888. Gene: Yeah, what about the Outlaw Star?
  3889.  
  3890. Jim: I'll leave that to you. I'll earn us enough to live on for the time being.
  3891.  
  3892. Gene: I don't know.
  3893.  
  3894. Melfina: Um. If theres anything I can do to help, please tell me.
  3895.  
  3896. Gene: Are you good at cooking eggs?
  3897.  
  3898. Melfina: Oh. I'm not really sure. I've never cooked them before so I don't know.
  3899.  
  3900. Gene: Well, then you can learn now. You're on kitchen duty, Melfina.
  3901.  
  3902. Melfina: Um. kay.
  3903.  
  3904. // They walk home...
  3905.  
  3906. Gene: Man, theres nothing as relaxing as this town.
  3907.  
  3908. Jim: Yeah, yeah. Hm.
  3909.  
  3910. Gene: But, you know we're gonna have to leave here pretty soon.
  3911.  
  3912. Jim: Yeah, I know.
  3913.  
  3914. Gene: But how far? Where are we going and just how far away?
  3915.  
  3916. Jim: Its nice to look up at the sky and all, but lets look where we're stepping. Hey, you know
  3917. it will be tough.
  3918.  
  3919. Gene: Yeah, I know that alright.
  3920.  
  3921. // That night, Gene gets up. He finds Melfina downstairs on the couch.
  3922.  
  3923. Gene: Whats wrong, you can't sleep?
  3924.  
  3925. Melfina: No.
  3926.  
  3927. Gene: Hey, I bet you wish Bio-Androids didn't have to be so human. Is that what you were thinking
  3928. about, huh?
  3929.  
  3930. Melfina: Yeah, thats right.
  3931.  
  3932. Gene: Jeez, I don't understand anything around here.
  3933.  
  3934. // Melfina leans on his shoulder.
  3935.  
  3936. Melfina: Let me stay like this until I fall asleep. When I'm like this, I feel like I can dream.
  3937. I feel like I am dreaming.
  3938.  
  3939.  
  3940.  
  3941. Jim: Hey, what do you think you're doing scumbag?
  3942.  
  3943. Gene: Oh I uh... I just thought I'd see how human Melfina really is.
  3944.  
  3945. Jim: Just how human is she? Mel's more human than you.
  3946.  
  3947. Gene: Hey Jim!
  3948.  
  3949. // Jim snuggles up with Melfina.
  3950.  
  3951. Jim: She's like my mom.
  3952.  
  3953. Gene: Oh. Hmm...
  3954.  
  3955. // The next day, Gene works on the Outlaw Star.
  3956.  
  3957. Gilliam: The engine covers are not regulation parts. So please replace them all.
  3958.  
  3959. Gene: Yeah, well how bout helping out huh?
  3960.  
  3961. Gilliam: If we were in zero gravity I would be able to perform heavy labor. But as you can see,
  3962. I am powerless in this gravity.
  3963.  
  3964. Gene: Then work on the interior!
  3965.  
  3966. Gilliam: I am of course.
  3967.  
  3968. Gilliam: Please perform a check later.
  3969.  
  3970. Gene: Alright, alright.
  3971.  
  3972. // The manager calls for him over the loudspeaker.
  3973.  
  3974. Manager: Mr. Starwind.
  3975.  
  3976. Gene: Yeah, what?
  3977.  
  3978. Manager: We need to talk. Could you come to the business office?
  3979.  
  3980. Gene: Uh... I knew this was coming. Give me a minute okay?
  3981.  
  3982. // Meanwhile, Melfina cooks.
  3983.  
  3984. Melfina: Once it comes to a boil reduce heat, simmer till cooked brew. Hm.
  3985.  
  3986. // Jim meanwhile repairs a tractor.
  3987.  
  3988. Jim: This thing's a goner. I'm gonna have to put in a new engine or buy all new parts for just
  3989. about everything.
  3990.  
  3991. Farmer: If I had that kinda money I'd take it to a dealer.
  3992.  
  3993. Jim: Yes my friend. This is exactly where Starwind and Hawking Enterprises can really do a thing.
  3994. Actually, we have an engine we happened to come across. Of course we charge far less than a
  3995. dealer.
  3996.  
  3997. Farmer: Great, I knew it. I knew I could count on you.
  3998.  
  3999. Jim: You bet pal.
  4000.  
  4001. // In the Business Office...
  4002.  
  4003. Manager: I thought that I told you to pay all the dock fees in advance. And if you're gonna be
  4004. here for a while, I must insist that you pay for that too.
  4005.  
  4006. Gene: We've payed you for the next 3 days, right?
  4007.  
  4008. Manager: Well, you haven't applied for launch clearance I see.
  4009.  
  4010. Gene: We will pay you for any overage, okay?
  4011.  
  4012. Manager: Just how much longer will you be here?
  4013.  
  4014. Gene: I'm not sure.
  4015.  
  4016. // Meanwhile, one of the pirates, an odd looking bald one, attempts to break into the Outlaw Star.
  4017.  
  4018. Gilliam: Warning. Thats not the captain. Gene!
  4019.  
  4020. Gene: Gilliam, whats going on?
  4021.  
  4022. Gilliam: Its an intruder.
  4023.  
  4024. Gene: Uh.
  4025.  
  4026. // Meanwhile, at home...
  4027.  
  4028. Melfina: Hey, welcome back. Huh?
  4029.  
  4030. // Another pirate, this one extremely tall, stands at the door.

  4037.  
  4038. Gene: Gilliam, where's the intruder?
  4039.  
  4040. Gilliam: He's escaping by elevator 2.
  4041.  
  4042. // The elevator arrives at the bottom. Gene shoots, but it ends up just being a crate of food.
  4043.  
  4044. Gilliam: Gene, above you!
  4045.  
  4046. // Gene dodges the attack.
  4047.  
  4048. Gene: Uh! Come here, yah jerk.
  4049.  
  4050. // Meanwhile, Melfian is running from the pirate.
  4051.  
  4052. Melfina: Oh! Uh... Oh...
  4053.  
  4054. // The pirate swings his mase like weapon at her, but suddenly Suzuka arrives and blocks the
  4055. attack.
  4056.  
  4057.  
  4058.  
  4059. Suzuka: I come to visit Gene Starwind and what do I find? Some of the most interesting people are
  4060. trying to kill him as well. Tell me, are you a Kai pirate?
  4061.  
  4062. Kyokan: Don't interfere.
  4063.  
  4064. Suzuka: Exactly what I was thinking. Gene Starwind is my pray.
  4065.  
  4066. Melfina: Huh?
  4067.  
  4068. Suzuka: Stay back now.
  4069.  
  4070. Melfina: Alright.
  4071.  
  4072. Kyokan: I'll say it again. Don't interfere with me.
  4073.  
  4074. Suzuka: Well in that case, this is going to be a fine oppurtunity to put Gene in my debt.
  4075.  
  4076. // Gene fires at the pirate, who runs into a nearby field.
  4077.  
  4078. Gene: I finally got to blow off some steam. You left some lookouts here now, didn't ya? Eh?
  4079. Am I right, Mr. Pirate?
  4080.  
  4081. Yase: Heh heh heh. So where is Hilda now?
  4082.  
  4083. Gene: Hm. You don't seem to understand what you got yourself into now, do ya buddy?
  4084.  
  4085. Yase: Hm. Is that so.
  4086.  
  4087. // A bunch of pirates rise up from the ground and surround Gene.
  4088.  
  4089. Yase: Answer me. Where is Hilda now?
  4090.  
  4091. Gene: I ain't talking.
  4092.

  4095. // Meanwhile, Suzuka battles the other pirate.
  4096.  
  4097. Suzuka: Hah!
  4098.

  4100.  
  4101. Kyokan: Heyah!
  4102.  
  4103. Suzuka: Hm. So you are a Sinjitsu master.
  4104.  
  4105. Kyokan: You have interesting techniques yourself.
  4106.  
  4107. Suzuka: Well, I'm just getting warmed up. No one has seen more than 3 of my secret techniques. You still have time, it isn't sunset yet. How many sunsets will you see before dying?
  4108.  
  4109. Kyokan: You're the one thats going to die.
  4110.  
  4111. // Gene continues to battle in the field.
  4112.  
  4113. Gene: Uh! Alright!
  4114.  
  4115. // Suzuka and the pirate continue to battle...
  4116.  
  4117. Kyokan: Eh, yah!
  4118.

  4122. it. Yaaah!
  4123.  
  4124. // They charge at each other. Suzuka swipes her sword at him.
  4125.  
  4126. Pirate: What did you call that?
  4127.  
  4128. Suzuka: Standard Heeven number one.
  4129.  
  4130. Kyokan: Hm. I see. Uh...
  4131.  
  4132. // He dies.
  4133.  
  4134. Suzuka: Its alright, its over now.
  4135.  
  4136. Melfina: Oh... kay.
  4137.  
  4138. Suzuka: Do you think it would be alright if I waited for Gene at his shop?
  4139.  
  4140. Melfina: Uh... sure.
  4141.  
  4142. // Meanwhile, Gene hides behind a tree.
  4143.  
  4144. Yase: Looks like he's finally dead once and for all. Hm. I had questions to ask him but its too late.
  4145.  
  4146. // Gene shoots at one of the pirates.
  4147.  
  4148. Yase: What? Ah!
  4149.  
  4150. // Gene takes out most of the pirates. However, the head pirate charges him.
  4151.  
  4152. Gene: Damnit!
  4153.  
  4154. Yase: Yah!
  4155.  
  4156. Gene: Ah!
  4157.  
  4158. // He knocks Gene to the ground.
  4159.  
  4160. Yase: I have a few questions I'd like to ask you. Will you be a good boy and answer?
  4161.  
  4162. Gene: My lucky number's one, my favorite color's red, and oh...
  4163.  
  4164.  
  4165.  
  4166. Yase: Where is Hilda now, huh? Why did you and your friends come back to Sentinel by
  4167. themselves? What happened to my people? Answer me!
  4168.  
  4169. Gene: What'll I get?
  4170.  
  4171. Yase: I'll go ahead and grant you a quick death.
  4172.  
  4173. Gene: You'll have to make me a better offer than that.
  4174.  
  4175. Yase: Maybe I will, depending on your answer.
  4176.  
  4177. Farmer: What could have exploded out here in the field?
  4178.  
  4179. Farmer2: I don't know, thats why they told us to check it out.
  4180.  
  4181. // Gene shoots at the pirate.
  4182.  
  4183. Farmer: That was a gun shot over there!
  4184.  
  4185. // Gene takes the oppurtunity to escape and shoot at the pirate.
  4186.  
  4187. Yase: We'll take back the XGP! Count on it!
  4188.  
  4189. Farmer: Call for backup!
  4190.  
  4191. Farmer2: Right!
  4192.  
  4193. // Meanwhile, Jim drives home.
  4194.  
  4195. Jim: (whistles)
  4196.  
  4197. Police1: Any witnesses?
  4198.  
  4199. Police2: Nah, no one. Apparantly, they're scared of getting involved.
  4200.  
  4201. Police1: When it comes to pirates, I guess I'd do the same thing.
  4202.  
  4203. // Jim goes inside.
  4204.  
  4205. Jim: Uh... Uh.. Mel, what the hell happened? Ah!
  4206.  
  4207. Melfina: Welcome back, Jim.
  4208.  
  4209. Jim: What the hell are you doing here? You want Gene, don't cha?
  4210.  
  4211. Suzuka: Yes, where is he?
  4212.  
  4213. Jim: Oh yeah, like I would tell ya.
  4214.  
  4215. Suzuka: Its in your best interest to find him as soon as possible. Because it seems the Kai
  4216. pirates are coming after you.
  4217.  
  4218. Jim: Uh... the pirates?
  4219.  
  4220. Melfina: Its alright, don't worry. Suzuka saved me.
  4221.  
  4222. Jim: She did? But why?
  4223.  
  4224. Suzuka: Because you people are rather interesting to me.
  4225.  
  4226. // They head to the Outlaw Star.
  4227.  
  4228. Jim: Gilliam, open up.
  4229.  
  4230. Gilliam: Its bad Jim. There's been trouble. We've been attacked by pirates.
  4231.  
  4232. Jim: Here too? Where's Gene?
  4233.  
  4234. Gilliam: He's inside working right now.
  4235.  
  4236. Jim: Alright then, just let us in.
  4237.  
  4238. Gilliam: Of course. Uh..
  4239.  
  4240. Jim: Now what?
  4241.  
  4242. Gilliam: What should we do about that young lady you brought? She isn't registered as a crew
  4243. member you know.
  4244.  
  4245. Jim: Just let her in for the time being.
  4246.  
  4247. // They head to the bridge, where Gene is working on the ship.
  4248.  
  4249. Jim: Hey Gene!
  4250.  
  4251. Gene: Yeah, yeah, thats right the pirates were here.
  4252.  
  4253. Jim: What're we gonna do?
  4254.  
  4255. Gene: Well, we're gonna load up all the equipment we can, and launch as soon as possible.
  4256.  
  4257. Suzuka: Excuse me, would you explain whats going on here? If you're really gonna fight the Kai
  4258. Pirates, I wouldn't mind helping out at all.
  4259.  
  4260. Jim: Hm?
  4261.  
  4262. Gene: At this point all we can do is fight them. I don't know. I just don't know the real reason
  4263. why. I really have no idea.
  4264.  
  4265. Jim: Hey Gene...
  4266.  
  4267. Gene: Uh...
  4268.  
  4269. Jim: Gene, whats the matter, what's wrong?
  4270.  
  4271. // Jim touches Gene, then looks at his hand in shock. There's blood there.
  4272.  
  4273. Jim: What? What the hell is this?
  4274.  
  4275. Gene: Yeah, I tried to patch it up, I guess I didn't do a good job.
  4276.  
  4277. Jim: Gene!

  4304.  
  4305. Jim: Gene...
  4306.  
  4307. Suzuka: The needles went right through. And he's infected, it seems the injections he was given
  4308. were full of poison.
  4309.  
  4310. Jim: Poison?
  4311.  
  4312. Suzuka: Yes, we must find the antidote right away.
  4313.

  4336.  
  4337. Gene: Forget it Jim.
  4338.  
  4339. Jim: Easy, Gene.
  4340.  
  4341. Gene: Do you really think they're gonna let us walk away from this?
  4342.  
  4343. Head Pirate: Heh heh heh. Well, he seems in high spirits. What will you do now?
  4344.  
  4345. Jim: Stop Gilliam, stop transmission.
  4346.  
  4347. // In the Pirate's hiding place...
  4348.  
  4349. Head Pirate: Heh heh heh. How amusing. Ah. Its me, things are going to get a little noisy soon.
  4350. Just look the other way and you'll be greatly rewarded. Lets go.
  4351.  
  4352. // Back on the Outlaw Star...
  4353.  
  4354. Jim: C'mon Gene, help us!
  4355.  
  4356. Suzuka: I agree with Gene as far as the pirates are concerned. But if something isn't done soon...
  4357. I, uh I'm not sure they actually have an antidote for Gene. Our only option is to find
  4358. out and steal it.
  4359.  
  4360. Jim: Okay, then I'm coming with you.
  4361.  
  4362. Melfina: Wait a second. I think, I think that I might be able to do it.
  4363.  
  4364. Jim: Might be able to do what?
  4365.  
  4366. // Melfina holds Gene at the point where she enters the ship's computer.
  4367.  
  4368. Jim: We're counting on you Melfina.
  4369.  
  4370. Melfina: Right.
  4371.  
  4372. Gilliam: Warning, the enemy is closing in.
  4373.  
  4374. Jim: Hm?
  4375.  
  4376. Head Pirate: (laughs)
  4377.  
  4378. Jim: Gilliam, bring up all systems, lets go.
  4379.  
  4380. Gilliam: Without Melfina's help, we have a limited number of systems to access.
  4381.  
  4382. Jim: Got it. Put this creep on the monitor so I can see him. Give me a close up.
  4383.  
  4384. Head Pirate: Hello, we're here to sell you the antidote my little friend.
  4385.  
  4386. Jim: Well, we're not handing the ship over to you, so just back away buddy.
  4387.  
  4388. Head Pirate: Well, well, my dear friend, are we gonna give up on Captain Gene's life then? I'll
  4389. bet this moment he's in a lot of pain.
  4390.  
  4391. // Jim shoots at them.
  4392.  
  4393. Head Pirate: Ah!
  4394.

  4398.  
  4399. Gene: Hey dad, I learned all the controls already.
  4400.  
  4401. // Pirates attack the ship. Gene is thrown in the escape pod.

  4410.  
  4411. Gene: Dad! Noooooo!
  4412.  
  4413. // Back to the present.
  4414.  
  4415. Gene: I'm, I'm... alone.
  4416.  
  4417. // Melfina appears in front of him.
  4418.  
  4419. Melfina: Gene... Gene... Gene, you're not alone, I'm here now. I'm here to heal you. Open your
  4420. heart.
  4421.  
  4422. // They extend their hands to each other, which glow. Gene finds himself in another place, now
  4423. with Melfina behind him.
  4424.  
  4425. Gene: Ah!
  4426.  
  4427. Melfina: Gene... Gene... Gene... Gene... Gene... It's alright. I understand. Everything's fine
  4428. now. It looks like I can be of help to you. No more worries, I can save you Gene.
  4429.  
  4430. Gene: Hmm.
  4431.  
  4432. // Meanwhile...
  4433.  
  4434. Gilliam: Attention, strange weapons are approaching.
  4435.  
  4436. Jim: What are those?
  4437.  
  4438. // 3 mechs start heading towards the Outlaw Star.
  4439.  
  4440. Head Pirate: Just hold them here for now. Well I guess I won't mind if you damage it just a little.
  4441.  
  4442. Suzuka: They're the pirate's mechanical soldiers.
  4443.  
  4444. Jim: Darnit.
  4445.  
  4446. // He shoots at them again, but they have a shield this time.
  4447.  
  4448. Jim: They're way too close for missiles and beams won't work.
  4449.  
  4450. Gilliam: Jim, I have a call form Mr. Lou in Hugo.
  4451.  
  4452. Jim: Now? Put him through.
  4453.  
  4454. Fred: Hi there Jim. Aren't you looking as good as ever.
  4455.  
  4456. Jim: What do you want Fred, I'm sorta busy now.
  4457.  
  4458. Fred: Where's Gene?
  4459.  
  4460. Jim: He's unavailable, Fred.
  4461.  
  4462. Fred: Alright now, this is very imporant. Listen closely to what I have to say, several Kai
  4463. pirate ships are heading this way to Sentinel 3 and I believe they're going to reach West
  4464. Virginia Space Port soon.
  4465.  
  4466. Jim: What? but we're in Ban Territory, Fred.
  4467.  
  4468. Fred: Thats my point, the fact that word spread all the way out here to the frontier shows that
  4469. these pirates mean to start a big commotion.
  4470.  
  4471. Jim: Why would they want to do that?
  4472.  
  4473. Fred: Well, uh... well acting as an intermediary is my job. Saying no to them is bad for business,
  4474. and I don't want to ruin our relationships so I called you.
  4475.  
  4476. Jim: Enough! Alright, alright, thanks for nothing! Ah!
  4477.  
  4478. // The mechs attach to the Outlaw Star and start climbing it.
  4479.  
  4480. Gilliam: Enemy attached to ship exterior.
  4481.  
  4482. Jim: Oh... What should I do? Huh?
  4483.  
  4484. // Gene and Melfina return.
  4485.  
  4486. Gene: Hm. Sorry for the wait.
  4487.  
  4488. Jim: Alright.
  4489.  
  4490. Gene: Jim, give me the pilot's seat.
  4491.  
  4492. Melfina: You shouldn't, your wounds haven't healed up.
  4493.  
  4494. Gene: You removed all the poison. The rest is up to endurance. Melfina, thank you. You're the
  4495. one that saved my life.
  4496.  
  4497.  
  4498.  
  4499. Melfina: Yeah, I... Oh!
  4500.  
  4501. Gilliam: The enemy's weapons are attempting to force open the hatch.
  4502.  
  4503. // One of them attempts to do this.
  4504.  
  4505. Head Pirate: And now I'm going to take back the XGP.
  4506.  
  4507. // Gene gets in the pilot's seat, Melfina in her usual spot.
  4508.  
  4509. Gilliam: Attention everyone, this ship is presently in danger due to enemy attack.
  4510.  
  4511. Gene: I know, I know, I know. As soon as Melfina is ready, we're blasting out of here.
  4512.  
  4513. Melfina: All systems green.
  4514.  
  4515. Gene: I'm ready to go.
  4516.  
  4517. // The Grappler arms are released and Gene takes out 2 of the pirates with them.
  4518.  
  4519. Gene: Loser!
  4520.  
  4521. Head Pirate: Well, those are interesting grappler arms. They can't even reach the target, how
  4522. completely useless!
  4523.  
  4524. // Suzuka is standing on the crane nearby him however...
  4525.  
  4526. Suzuka: You coward. I hope you can hear me Gene, cause this one is all mine.
  4527.  
  4528. Head Pirate: Interesting, what does she think she can to me?
  4529.  
  4530. // Suzuka jumps on the mech and chops it in half.
  4531.  
  4532. Head Pirate: What? Ow...
  4533.  
  4534. // The mech crashes and falls off the tower. He hangs on the edge, but climbs back up, where
  4535. Suzuka is waiting.
  4536.  
  4537. Head Pirate: Ah...
  4538.  
  4539. Suzuka: It's over.
  4540.  
  4541. Pirate: Oh spare me please, I'll do anything.
  4542.  
  4543. // He shoots, but she blocks.
  4544.  
  4545. Suzuka: You're a coward, aren't you.
  4546.  
  4547. // Suzuka kills the pirate.
  4548.  
  4549. Gene: Hey, not bad Suzuka.
  4550.  
  4551. Suzuka: When its a Kai Pirate it's really nothing.
  4552.  
  4553. Gene: Well, its good to know. Anyhow, its just about time to blast off. I guess I should ask the
  4554. Ctarl Ctarl for help at this point. You better climb aboard Suzuka.
  4555.  
  4556. Manager: This is the control tower. Dock 26, Outlaw Star, whats going on over there?
  4557.  
  4558. Gene: Nothing too serious. We're getting ready to blast off so we'd like to receive the correct
  4559. weather and flight conditions.
  4560.  
  4561. Manager: Thats a negative, I will not give you launch clearance. We've verified that there's been
  4562. a disturbance on the launch pad. The Outlaw Star will be checked out by port authorities.
  4563. Hold your present position.
  4564.  
  4565. Gene: No way. Release all systems from standbye mode, begin transfer to navigation mode now.
  4566.  
  4567. Gilliam: What are you planning to do?
  4568.  
  4569. Gene: Blast outta here without any kind of guidance from the control tower.

  4577. Jim: The container's ready and loaded.
  4578.  
  4579. // Gene turns the ship on.
  4580.  
  4581. Melfina: CFS activated. Newton reactor coming online. Systems show normal. All the views show
  4582. normal.
  4583.  
  4584. Gilliam: My crew is a bunch of lunatics. This is rather reckless Gene.
  4585.  
  4586. Jim: I've got the weather reports and I'm sending them over to your screen right now.
  4587.  
  4588. Melfina: Ether Drive System operational. Sub Ether Drive System operational.
  4589.  
  4590. Gene: Engine system operation now verified.
  4591.  
  4592. Gilliam: We're receiving a broadcast from the control tower.
  4593.  
  4594. Manager: Gene Starwind, come out of that ship immediately! The police will place you under arrest.
  4595. Do you realize the kind of trouble you're getting yourself into?
  4596.  
  4597. Jim: What're we gonna do now, Gene, hm?
  4598.  
  4599. Gene: Well Jim, I guess we're never coming back to Sentinel again. Lets blow 'em off and get out
  4600. of here. Is that alright with you Suzuka?
  4601.  
  4602. Suzuka: I'll be joining you.
  4603.  
  4604. // The engine starts.
  4605.  
  4606. Gene: If you don't move, you're gonna get burned. Lets go Jim.
  4607.  
  4608. Jim: You got it.
  4609.  
  4610. Gene: Ready, Melfina?
  4611.  
  4612. Melfina: Ready. Gravity cycle operational. System shows green.
  4613.  
  4614. Manager: Gene Starwind! Don't do it!
  4615.  
  4616. Gene: Shut up!
  4617.  
  4618. Gilliam: I see you're really going through with this. The ship is air tight and ready for take
  4619. off.
  4620.  
  4621. Jim: Everything's all set here and we're ready to go.
  4622.  
  4623. Gilliam: Life support systems are reading normal.
  4624.  
  4625. Melfina: All control services showing green.
  4626.  
  4627. Gene: All systems green.
  4628.  
  4629. Melfina: Engine output stable. Commencing countdown. T minus 30 to launch.
  4630.  
  4631. // The countdown begins.
  4632.  
  4633. Melfina: T minus 20.
  4634.  
  4635. Gene: So here it is. My journey is finally beginning. Goodbye Hilda.
  4636.  
  4637. Melfina: T minus 10... 8... 7... 6... 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... 0
  4638.  
  4639. Gene: Let's go!
  4640.  
  4641. // The ship takes off, destroying much of the tower.
  4642.  
  4643. Gene: Ship roll is now complete.
  4644.  
  4645. Kid: Aw dad, you know what? When I grow up, I wanna be a spaceship pilot.
  4646.  
  4647. Father: Really? Well if you work hard maybe you will be.
  4648.  
  4649. Kid: Wow I can't wait... yeah, I'm gonna do it!
  4650.  
  4651. // On the Outlaw Star...
  4652.  
  4653. Melfina: We've exited the atmosphere. Please put us in orbit.
  4654.  
  4655. Gilliam: We have successfully completed planetary launch.
  4656.  
  4657. Jim: Yeah, we did it!
  4658.  
  4659. Gene: Oh... Well of course we did it! I'm awesome at absolutely everything I set out to do with
  4660. my life. (laughs)
  4661.  
  4662. Jim: Yeah right, whatever.
  4663.  
  4664. Melfina: (laughs)
  4665.  
  4666. Suzuka: What interesting people you all are.
  4667.  
  4668. Gilliam: Congradulations Gene. So sorry to interupt the festivities, however...
  4669.  
  4670. Gene: Okay, now what?
  4671.  
  4672. Gilliam: I'm afraid Pirate ships are closing in our position.
  4673.  
  4674. Gene: Pirates? Where?
  4675.  
  4676. Melfina: Distance, 20000. They seem to have spotted us.
  4677.  
  4678. // Indeed. On the pirate ship...
  4679.  
  4680. Bald Pirate: Gaki, Unak, lets plan to attack in 2 minutes. Do you see any sign of them?
  4681.  
  4682. Gaki: Well, the guys on the ground really screwed up, huh?
  4683.  
  4684. Unak: Ah... Who cares thats fine with me, lets have some fun.
  4685.  
  4686. Melfina: They aren't responding to our signals.
  4687.  
  4688. Gilliam: Its a jammer. It looks like those are grappler Pirate ships.
  4689.  
  4690. Jim: Now what do we do?
  4691.  
  4692. Gene: Time for grappler combat. Now Gilliam, tell me, just how do I arm these?
  4693.  
  4694. Gilliam: Once you remove the safety's, they should be able to arm themselves.
  4695.  
  4696. Jim: Are you sure about this? You've never done it before.
  4697.  
  4698. Gene: Hey don't worry. When it comes to manipulators, I'm as good as it gets Jim. So anyways,
  4699. look, I'm really gonna need your help here so we can pull this one off. Huh, partner?
  4700.  
  4701. Melfina: Now switching over to Grappler Combat mode. Combat will begin in 30 seconds.
  4702.  
  4703. Gene: Ah... scatter all the camera pods now, Jim.
  4704.  
  4705. Jim: You've got it.
  4706.  
  4707. Gene: Here goes.
  4708.  
  4709. Gilliam: The enemy ships are grappler ships and they're spreading cameras as well.
  4710.  
  4711. // The enemies shoot at them.
  4712.  
  4713. Gilliam: Enemy has fired multiple missiles.
  4714.  
  4715. Jim: Launching anti-missiles now.
  4716.  
  4717. // He does it.
  4718.  
  4719. Gene: Let's do it!
  4720.  
  4721. // Gene shoots at them.
  4722.  
  4723. Unak: You're tough, you're also meat.
  4724.  
  4725. // Gene blast his ship, and part of it is destroyed.
  4726.  
  4727. Unak: Ah, I'm hit hard.
  4728.  
  4729. Bald Pirate: You okay, Unak?
  4730.  
  4731. Unak: Yeah, I'll get him!
  4732.  
  4733. Gene: You think you're as good as me with a gun? Ah... it's not firing.
  4734.  
  4735. Jim: The gun't empty. We've got to swap it with a spare. But I can do it.
  4736.  
  4737. Gene: Okay, you do that but for now we're gonna go hand to hand.
  4738.  
  4739. Unak: Lets do it Gaki!
  4740.  
  4741. Gaki: Yeah, dinner's on me when we get back.
  4742.  
  4743. // They fight.
  4744.  
  4745. Unak: Yah!
  4746.  
  4747. Gaki: Blast you!
  4748.  
  4749. // They both are killed.
  4750.  
  4751. Jim: Way to go.
  4752.  
  4753. Gene: But there's still one left.
  4754.  
  4755. Gilliam: Abnormality in engine 2.
  4756.  
  4757. Melfina: Output dropped 30 degrees.
  4758.  
  4759. Gene: Alright, I'm gonna finish this guy off fast.
  4760.  
  4761. Bald Pirate: You just took out Unak and Gaki. Now you're dead meat.
  4762.  
  4763. // They fight.
  4764.  
  4765. Gene: Yah!
  4766.  
  4767. Bald Pirate Yeah!
  4768.  
  4769. // They fight.
  4770.  
  4771. Bald Pirate: I got to admit... He's pretty good.
  4772.  
  4773. // He dies.
  4774.  
  4775. Jim: You did it Gene!
  4776.  
  4777. Gilliam: Combat mode ended.
  4778.  
  4779. Gene: Ah man... Thats a good workout. I think its about time now for me to hit the baths.
  4780.  
  4781. Melfina: Gene, well done.
  4782.  
  4783. Gene: Hey, thanks a lot Melfina.
  4784.  
  4785. Melfina: It was nothing. You did everything.
  4786.  
  4787. Gilliam: I'd just like to say that was a job well done. You've managed to keep the ship intact,
  4788. and we're now exited the gravity zone of Sentinel 3. Shall I prepare to go to Sub
  4789. Ether Drive?
  4790.  
  4791. Gene: Yeah, okay. Lets go to Heiphong now.
  4792.  
  4793. Jim: Why there?
  4794.  
  4795. Gene: Heiphong is the Ban pirate territory so I imagine that those Kai pirates won't go looking
  4796. for us there, right?
  4797.  
  4798. Suzuka: Thats not for certain only time will tell.
  4799.  
  4800. Jim: Heiphong's got a lot going on so maybe we'll be able to find a good job there.
  4801.  
  4802. Gene: A job?
  4803.  
  4804. Jim: Yeah, how else will we pay for this thing's maintence, ammunition, and repairs?
  4805.  
  4806. Gene: I don't know... Boy did we inherit a major pain in the butt or what?
  4807.  
  4808. Gilliam: I beg your pardon, but I am not a major pain in the butt. I am Gilliam 2. And the name
  4809. of this ship is the Outlaw Star.
  4810.  
  4811. Melfina: Do you mind if I set the course for Heiphong?
  4812.  
  4813. Gene: No, go ahead. It's about 20 light years. Good bye, Sentinel 3.

  4836.  
  4837. // Outlaw Star flies by a star.
  4838.  
  4839. Gilliam: I can't believe this. This is really too much. Because of Gene's constant recklessness,
  4840. I've been forced to take this dangerous route.
  4841.  
  4842. // Everyone is asleep, except for Gene, who is aiming his gun.
  4843.  
  4844. Gilliam: What are you doing now, Gene?
  4845.  
  4846. Gene: Its pretty cool, don't you think?
  4847.  
  4848. Gilliam: Very amusing. Now would you please get some rest?
  4849.  
  4850. Gene: Alright, alright, alright. I think that I was sleepwalking. Sorry, I'll go to bed now.
  4851. Goodnight.
  4852.  
  4853. Gilliam: Very well Gene. Goodnight.
  4854.  
  4855. Gene: Ah... Gilliam?
  4856.  
  4857. Gilliam: Yes? Is something the matter Gene?
  4858.  
  4859. Gene: No, nothing really.
  4860.  
  4861. // Gene swings his gun, but drops it on his foot.
  4862.  
  4863. Gene: Ow!
  4864.  
  4865. -----------------------------
  4866.  
  4867. A Journey of Adventure. Huh?
  4868.  
  4869. -----------------------------
  4870.  
  4871. // Lots of little Gilliams transport various goods around the ship. Jim is working in the cargo
  4872. room.
  4873.  
  4874. Melfina: Jim?
  4875.  
  4876. Jim: Huh? Yeah? What is it?
  4877.  
  4878. Melfina: We don't seem to have any salt.
  4879.  
  4880. Jim: Salt? I thought I saw some salt around here somewhere. Found it, here ya go.
  4881.  
  4882. // Jim throws it up to her.
  4883.  
  4884. Melfina: Oh. Ah, thanks a lot. I've been cooking all day and in just a little while I'll have
  4885. dinner ready.
  4886.  
  4887. Jim: Okay. Phew. Gilliam?
  4888.  
  4889. Gilliam: What is it, Jim?
  4890.  
  4891. Jim: Where's Gene? Is he out of bed yet?
  4892.  
  4893. Gilliam: No. I've been trying to get him out of bed but I haven't had any luck yet.
  4894.  
  4895. Jim: Alright, I'm sick of this.
  4896.  
  4897. // A bunch of Gilliams try to get Gene up.
  4898.  
  4899. Gilliams: Gene, its time to get up. Gene. Gene. Gene. Gene. Gene.
  4900.  
  4901. // Gene knocks them away.
  4902.  
  4903. Gilliams: Gene, wak up. Gene. Gene. Gene. Gene. Gene. Gene.
  4904.  
  4905. Jim: Urh! Wake up! Get up now! C'mon, sleeping beauty, how long do you plan on staying in bed,
  4906. huh?
  4907.  
  4908. // Gene pulls Gene down over him.
  4909.  
  4910. Jim: Eww...
  4911.  
  4912. Gene: Give me a kiss.
  4913.  
  4914. Jim: Eww...
  4915.  
  4916. Gene: I promise I'll get up Rosie, just kiss me.
  4917.  
  4918. Jim: Erh! Just snap out of it!
  4919.  
  4920. Gene: Alright, alright.
  4921.  
  4922. Jim: Get out of bed!
  4923.  
  4924. // A few minutes later, Gene is dressed.
  4925.  
  4926. Jim: Look at you, its always the same, if no one gets on your case, you just slack off and stay
  4927. in bed all day.
  4928.  
  4929. Gene: Whats the problem? You don't need to worry about being attacked right now and nothing else
  4930. needs to be done. I'm burned out over all thats been happening lately.
  4931.  
  4932. Jim: So what? So is everybody else. C'mon, there's a ton of stuff that we need to do.
  4933.  
  4934. Gene: What?
  4935.  
  4936. Jim: First of all, theres the maintence on this cargo hold. If we don't do something soon, we'll
  4937. have a major problem cooking.
  4938.  
  4939. Gene: Huh? What the hell happened here you guys?
  4940.  
  4941. Jim: We didn't have any time to secure everything down when we launched, remember? And then
  4942. during the grappler fight, everything got all totally shook up so its a mess.
  4943.  
  4944. Gene: Ah man...
  4945.  
  4946. Jim: We also need to sit down and talk about future developments. So we can't lie in bed all day
  4947. Gene.
  4948.  
  4949. Gene: The future developments of what?
  4950.  
  4951. Jim: Starwind and Hawking Enterprises of course.
  4952.  
  4953. Gene: Oh yeah? And whats that?
  4954.  
  4955. // Melfina is cooking as they come in.
  4956.  
  4957. Melfina: Oh, well good morning you two.
  4958.  
  4959. Gene: Good morning.
  4960.  
  4961. Jim: So listen, Heiphong's a big place. Now if we go there, our trouble with the Kai pirates will
  4962. probably be over, but I still don't think that Heiphong is so full of oppurtunity that we're
  4963. gonna find a bunch of good jobs just because we're looking for them.
  4964.  
  4965. Gene: Mmmm... That smells good.
  4966.  
  4967. Jim: Would you listen?
  4968.  
  4969. Gene: Easy there Jim, you're not kidding, you really are worried.
  4970.  
  4971. Jim: Well of cousre I am, don't you ever get it Gene?
  4972.  
  4973. Gene: Don't I get what?
  4974.  
  4975. Jim: Don't give me that! Look, we've never been to Heiphong, not to mention we don't have one
  4976. measly connection there. If we don't start getting information and coming up with some sort
  4977. of plan, repaying our debts will be the least of our worries.
  4978.  
  4979. Gene: It'll be alright. C'mon, besides, what good does it do to worry about all that stuff anyway?
  4980.  
  4981. Jim: So, have you already decided that we're going on this trip to Heiphong Gene? Huh? And what
  4982. about the space port fees? You've always been like this! If we don't put our heads together,
  4983. we'll never repay that 700000. I hate it that you always leave everything for the last
  4984. minute. I mean it Gene, you don't even know if you're coming or going.
  4985.  
  4986. Gene: Ah... I don't want to hear about it, its so boring. All we have to do is pull off some
  4987. job and thats all there is to it. Then, we'll pay back what we owe and live like kings for
  4988. the rest of our life.
  4989.  
  4990. Jim: Aw, give me a break Gene!
  4991.  
  4992. Jim and Gene: Grrr....
  4993.  
  4994.  
  4995.  
  4996. Melfina: Hey, both of you, please stop fighting.
  4997.  
  4998. Suzuka: What a child.
  4999.  
  5000. Suzuka: You better watch your pot, you shouldn't let it boil over like that or all the flavor
  5001. will boil away.
  5002.  
  5003. Melfina: Oh... thanks.
  5004.  
  5005. // Suzuka sits next to them.
  5006.  
  5007. Suzuka: If you didn't mind, I thought I'd join you all for dinner tonight.
  5008.  
  5009. Melfina: Of course.
  5010.  
  5011. Jim: I don't like this already.
  5012.  
  5013. Gene: (laughs) Hey did you hear that, she called you a child. So keep quiet little baby and eat
  5014. all your food.
  5015.  
  5016. Suzuka: Actually, I meant both of you were immature.
  5017.  
  5018. Jim: Huh?
  5019.  
  5020. Suzuka: Hmm.
  5021.  
  5022. Gene: What, are you talking to me, did you call me a child?
  5023.  
  5024. Suzuka: Well, what did you think, didn't it sound that way to you?
  5025.  
  5026. Gene: Listen you witch.
  5027.  
  5028. Melfina: Gene...
  5029.  
  5030. Gene: Huh?
  5031.  
  5032. Melfina: Know what, I think you've been acting very funny too lately.
  5033.  
  5034. Gene: What, so now you're saying everything thats happening is my fault?
  5035.  
  5036. Melfina: No, thats not it.
  5037.  
  5038. Gene: Yeah, give me a break, I've had enough of this.
  5039.  
  5040. // He leaves.
  5041.  
  5042. Melfina: But Gene, what about your food?
  5043.  
  5044. Gene: I don't want it.
  5045.  
  5046. // Later...
  5047.  
  5048. Jim: What're we gonna do with that lady, she's a real pain in the neck. Bringing her along was
  5049. a really big mistake.
  5050.  
  5051. Gene: What do you mean? Theres nothing we can do. Those Kai Pirates are after us, so for now
  5052. thats the way its gotta be. We have no choice, we have to keep her around here.
  5053.  
  5054. Jim: That may be right, but don't you think that if you turn your back, she may try to get you
  5055. again?
  5056.  
  5057. Gene: Who knows... Even so, if she does try something, she's not stupid enough to do anything
  5058. on board the ship. Look, don't even worry about it.
  5059.  
  5060. Jim: There you go again, Gene.
  5061.  
  5062. Gene: Just listen for a minute. There is something that my old man told me a long time ago. He
  5063. said, people who think big make it big. People who choose to only think small will earn
  5064. only chump change for the rest of their lives. Thats the way things are. And thats what
  5065. business is all about.
  5066.  
  5067. Jim: yeah, so what exactly is your point?
  5068.  
  5069. Gene: Well, I don't know, I guess nothing.
  5070.  
  5071. Jim: Well pardon me for thinking so small. You can have your way about doing things big and not
  5072. thinking ways through, but I think I will be smart about it and do it my way you moron.
  5073.  
  5074. Gene: Hey, what did you just say?
  5075.  
  5076. Jim: Just forget it.
  5077.  
  5078. Jim and Gene: Hmph.
  5079.  
  5080. // Later, Gene is doing his laundry.
  5081.  
  5082. Gene: Gilliam, where exactly are we now?
  5083.  
  5084. Gilliam: We will enter Kozac space in 20 light years. According to Sentinel time, it will take
  5085. approximately 3 more days to reach Heiphong.
  5086.  
  5087. Gene: 3 more days, huh? Hey Jim, would you clean up and do your own laundry you pig? I'm really
  5088. getting tired of this.
  5089.  
  5090. // He walks into the hallway.
  5091.  
  5092. Gilliam: We are very lucky that we haven't been attacked by pirates.
  5093.  
  5094. Gene: Really? Well to tell you the truth I wish they would, because I could really use some
  5095. excitement right now.
  5096.  
  5097. Gilliam: Please don't say such things. What would happen if they did come?
  5098.  
  5099. Gene: I'd cut loose and blow em all away.
  5100.  
  5101. // He walks into the kitchen.
  5102.  
  5103. Melfina: Oh.
  5104.  
  5105. Gene: Oh, hi. Heh. Ahem. I guess that I shouldn't sit down for a meal while I'm holding my
  5106. underwear.
  5107.  
  5108. // Gene puts his underwear on Gilliam's rail.
  5109.  
  5110. Gilliam: Gene, what are you doing? Stop that, thats my rail.
  5111.  
  5112. Gene: Yeah, I know, I'm sorry but what can I do, I've got no where else to hold them.
  5113.  
  5114. Gilliam: Why not hang them in the cargo hold, whats the matter with that?
  5115.  
  5116. Gene: Well Jim's hogging the cargo hold to himself. He won't even let me use any of it.
  5117.  
  5118. Gilliam: Then I must ask you to do it in your own quarters. Hanging them on the maintence rail
  5119. is out of the question.
  5120.  
  5121. Gene: Do I have to sleep with my underwear in my face?
  5122.  
  5123. Gilliam: Well, they're yours.
  5124.  
  5125. Gene: This is the kinda stuff that makes me wanna get the heck out of here. Huh?
  5126.  
  5127. // Jim walks by.
  5128.  
  5129. Jim: Hmph.
  5130.  
  5131. Gene: I guess he still got a problem, well he better learn to get over it. Uh... Gilliam, if I
  5132. remember correctly you said we were about to enter Kozac space, is that right?
  5133.  
  5134. Gilliam: Yes, thats absolutely right.
  5135.  
  5136. Gene: Do you know if there's a station near here thats called the Toward Stars Inn?
  5137.  
  5138. Gilliam: Yes Gene, there is.
  5139.  
  5140. Gene: Yeah...
  5141.  
  5142. Gene: Jim!
  5143.  
  5144. // He goes down to the cargo hold.
  5145.  
  5146. Gene: Whats the matter with you? Are you still mad at me?
  5147.  
  5148. Jim: I'm busy, what do you want?
  5149.  
  5150. Gene: Well I...
  5151.  
  5152. // A pink Gilliam arrives in front of Gene.
  5153.  
  5154. Gene: (laughs)
  5155.  
  5156. Gilliam: I knew it, I knew that you would laugh when you saw me.
  5157.  
  5158. Gene: Whats up with this new color, Gilliam, was it your idea to do this?
  5159.  
  5160. Jim: Give me that. No, it was my idea.
  5161.  
  5162. Gilliam: I keep asking him to change the color back to blue, but he won't cooperate.
  5163.  
  5164. Gene: So why is everybody making such a big deal? I think its kinda cute. (laughs)
  5165.  
  5166. Gilliam: I suppose.
  5167.  
  5168. Gene: There's so many of the other color floating around that its good to have one thats kinda
  5169. different, huh? Oh, and Melfina's upstairs, so why don't you show it to her.
  5170.  
  5171. Jim: If you don't mind, I still have a lot of work to do, so if you're finished making fun of
  5172. me you can leave now.
  5173.  
  5174. Gene: Well I thought I'd stop at a station to take care of some business.
  5175.  
  5176. Jim: Did you say a station?
  5177.  
  5178. Gene: I sure did and whether or not you come along is entirely up to you. So, just thought I'd
  5179. stop by a minute to let you know that.
  5180.  
  5181. Jim: What, you're going? Are you kidding Gene, we don't have any money. Just what do you have
  5182. up your sleeve now?
  5183.  
  5184. Gene: Hey, don't get all worked up about it.
  5185.  
  5186. ------------

  5188. Eyecatch
  5189.  
  5190. ------------
  5191.  
  5192. // They head into the Space Station.
  5193.  
  5194. Jim: Okay smart alek, now what are we gonna do? I suppose when we leave we're gonna blast our way
  5195. out.
  5196.  
  5197. Gene: No, we're not doing it that way, I don't wanna get on the bad side of those Ban guys.
  5198.  
  5199. Jim: Never stopped you before.
  5200.  
  5201. Gene: Welll we got a little problem, you see, there's no money in our pockets, right?
  5202.  
  5203. Jim: Don't tell me you're gonna get a job.
  5204.  
  5205. Gene: Yeah, something like that cause if we're going to Heiphong, we'll definately need to fatten
  5206. our wallets before we get there.
  5207.  
  5208. Jim: Oh...
  5209.  
  5210. Suzuka: I have to leave all of you now because there's some business I need to take care of, but
  5211. I'll see you at 20 hrs.
  5212.  
  5213. All 3: Huh?
  5214.  
  5215. // Later, at a restaurant, Gene eats.
  5216.  
  5217. Gene: First we gotta eat. If we're not strong enough, we'll never be able to work.
  5218.  
  5219. Jim: I'm not kidding Gene, all we have is pockeet change. You're not getting seconds.
  5220.  
  5221. Gene: Don't worry about it, just top whining and start eating. Unless you want me to eat all
  5222. yours too.
  5223.  
  5224. Jim: Hey, don't!
  5225.  
  5226. Gene: Hey, you're just too slow
  5227.  
  5228.  
  5229. Jim: Oh yeah? Watch.
  5230.  
  5231. // He eats fast. Gene does too.
  5232.  
  5233. Melfina: Oh. More, Jim?
  5234.  
  5235. Jim: Uh...
  5236.  
  5237. Melfina: Try these, they're delicious.
  5238.  
  5239. Jim: Oh man... thank you, Melfina.
  5240.  
  5241. Melfina: (laughs) Jim, I'm worried about you, you're not yourself today, c'mon eat some more
  5242. will ya?
  5243.  
  5244. Jim: Uh... I would, but I...
  5245.  
  5246. Gene: Man, kids are lucky. All the ladies kiss up to them, just because they're little.
  5247.  
  5248. Jim: Hm. Grr....
  5249.  
  5250. Gene: Gr....
  5251.  
  5252. // Later, they walk around. Melfina looks at stuff in a store window.
  5253.  
  5254.  
  5255.  
  5256. Melfina: Oh.
  5257.  
  5258. Jim: C'mon, Gene, what do you have up your sleeve this time, lets just get it over with.
  5259.  
  5260. Gene: Alright, alright. IF you have to know, I guess I'll tell you. I heard about this wild story
  5261. from our dear friend Fred. There's supposedly a legend about a wanted man who lives outside
  5262. the city. He's worth 10000 wong.
  5263.  
  5264. Jim: 10000 wong?!
  5265.  
  5266. // Gene covers his mouth.
  5267.  
  5268. Jim: I've never seen any stuff on this guy.
  5269.  
  5270. Gene: Thats because there isn't any data on this guy, but everyone around here knows about him.
  5271.  
  5272. Jim: C'mon, are you sure its a good idaea to take on a guy like that?
  5273.  
  5274. Gene: Jim, if you're gonna do something, do it big. You know thats the Starwind and Hawking
  5275. Enterprises motto.
  5276.  
  5277. Jim: That might be your motto but its not mine. Its the stupidist thing I ever heard of.
  5278.  
  5279. Gene: Okay thats fine then, have it your own way. Look, suit yourself. When I get that 10000 wong
  5280. I'm taking myself to a nice restaurant again. You'll be left with just pocket change and
  5281. you'll have to eat at some space take out or eat nothing at all.
  5282.  
  5283. Jim: Erh... Wait a minute, who said I wouldn't do it.
  5284.  
  5285. Gene: Make up your mind JIm. Are you coming, or are you gonna stay behind?
  5286.  
  5287. Jim: Uh... I guess I'll tag along with you.
  5288.  
  5289. Gene: Good, I'm counting on you big time, partner.
  5290.  
  5291. Jim: C'mon now, cut it out now Gene.
  5292.  
  5293. Melfina: Um... Is something wrong? Everyone's looking at you.
  5294.  
  5295. Gene and Jim: Huh? Oh... (laughs)
  5296.  
  5297. Gene: Sorry Mel, but would you mind going back to the ship now?
  5298.  
  5299. // They go to a bar outside the city...
  5300.  
  5301. Bartender: So what can I get for you guys?
  5302.  
  5303. Gene: I got to tend to some business here with a guy called Zonba.
  5304.  
  5305. Bartender: Uh... Uh...
  5306.  
  5307. // Everyone in the bar is silent.
  5308.  
  5309. Bartender: Are you a bounty hunter?
  5310.  
  5311. Gene: Uh... sorta.
  5312.  
  5313. // Everyone runs out in fright.
  5314.  
  5315. Bartender: Oh. Tell me whats you name and your exact height.
  5316.  
  5317. Gene: Why?
  5318.  
  5319. Bartender: Because now I'll have to order another coffin.
  5320.  
  5321. Gene: Yeah, thats exactly what I want to hear. This guy must be worth the money, huh?
  5322.  
  5323. // They go upstairs to Zonba's room.
  5324.  
  5325. Gene: Heh.
  5326.  
  5327. Zonba: How very rude, what do you want?
  5328.  
  5329. Gene: You Zonba?
  5330.  
  5331. Zonba: That would be me.
  5332.  
  5333. Gene: I'm the one and only Gene Starwind. And I'm gonna make a name for myself by getting rid of
  5334. you.
  5335.  
  5336. Zonba: Don't you want your name on a tombstone? Lets take this outside. I wouldn't want to get
  5337. my room dirty.
  5338.  
  5339. // They go to an abandoned church. A crow is there.
  5340.  
  5341. Zonba: The crow you just heard is singing his song of doom for you.
  5342.  
  5343. Gene: Oh really? I think you're wrong, it sounds to me like he's singing that song for you.
  5344.  
  5345. Zonba: We'll find that out soon enough, won't we.
  5346.  
  5347. Gene: Okay, anytime you're ready. Lets get on with it.
  5348.  
  5349. Zonba: Yaaah!
  5350.  
  5351. Gene: Hey Jim.
  5352.  
  5353. Jim: Just a second Gene. You'll have to get behind him cause his back's his weak spot and that
  5354. way you'll get your shot.
  5355.  
  5356. Gene: Thats easier said than done.
  5357.  
  5358. // Gene stabs him in the back.
  5359.  
  5360. Zonba: Yaah! It seems the crow was singing for me after all.
  5361.  
  5362. Gene: Sorry about that, but when it comes to fighting cyborgs, I never hold myself back. I
  5363. couldn't have done it without ya, Jim.
  5364.  
  5365. Jim: Hey, way to go Gene.
  5366.  
  5367. // Later...
  5368.  
  5369. Gene: Alright, yeah, way to go, we got 2000 wong here.
  5370.  
  5371. Jim: Well I thought it was supposed to be 10000.
  5372.  
  5373. Gene: Ah, give me a break, Jim. Who knew it was only a dumb android and not the real Zonba? Hey,
  5374. I did the best I could. C'mon now, we can't really complain, 2000 wong is a lot of money.
  5375.  
  5376. Jim: Yeah, I suppose.
  5377.  
  5378. Gene: And after I take done the real Zonba, we'll have even more money. A man's gotta do what
  5379. he's gotta do. When you're a big guy like me, you've got to do big things, remember Jim?
  5380. Understand what I'm saying?
  5381.  
  5382. Jim: Oh...
  5383.  
  5384. Suzuka: Well, well what a surprise to see you.
  5385.  
  5386. Gene: Oh, hey Suzuka.
  5387.  
  5388. Suzuka: It seems like we both have the same idea.
  5389.  
  5390. Gene: I guess so, but we just made 2000. Jim and I just took down the legendary man.
  5391.  
  5392. Suzuka: What legendary man?
  5393.  
  5394. Jim: He was really tough. And if I wasn't there to tell Gene what to do, he would've gotten his
  5395. butt kicked upside down.
  5396.  
  5397. Gene: Yeah right, what do you think your talking about?
  5398.  
  5399. Jim: (laughs)
  5400.  
  5401.  
  5402.  
  5403. Gene: So uh, how much money did you actually make?
  5404.  
  5405. Suzuka: Oh, not much really, just a trifle amount.
  5406.  
  5407. // She leaves. A bunch of people nearby start talking.
  5408.  
  5409. Lady: Look, here she comes, she's the one who took down Zonba.
  5410.  
  5411. Lady 2: He was worth 10000 wong.
  5412.  
  5413. All: Ah!
  5414.  
  5415. Gene and Jim: Huh?
  5416.  
  5417. Gene: Did they say Suzuka took out the legendary Zonba?
  5418.  
  5419. Jim: Looks like we just lost our big fat chance to prove our manhood. I've been saying the same
  5420. thing all along. If we don't get our act together with some kind of plan, Starwind and
  5421. Hawking Enterprises is gonna be in trouble.
  5422.  
  5423. Gene: Erhhh.... yah!
  5424.  
  5425. // Later, as they head back to the ship...
  5426.  
  5427. Announcer: May I have your attention. Today is the day that the ships are arriving for the 13th
  5428. Heiphong Space Race. They have come from all over and are starting to assemble at this
  5429. time. In this strenous competition, we'll find out who will overcome all the
  5430. obstacles and take home the wreath of victory this year. The competition begins in
  5431. 5 days.
  5432.  
  5433. // Gene sees MacDougal's ship on the screen.
  5434.  
  5435. Gene: Uh... Is that ship...
  5436.  
  5437. Jim: Hey, whats the matter with you?
  5438.  
  5439. Gene: Ah... nothing, really its nothing. Hey partner, what do you say, lets take off for Heiphong
  5440. right now.
  5441.  
  5442. Jim: Okay, eye eye sir.
  5443.  
  5444. // They go back.
  5445.  
  5446. Melfina: I'm glad you're back.
  5447.  
  5448. Gene: Look, we're taking off right away.
  5449.  
  5450. Melfina: Alright.
  5451.  
  5452. // They take off.

  5465.  
  5466.  
  5467.  
  5468. Narrator: The history of racing in space goes back many years. Before the development of the
  5469. Manchausin Drive, races were held in the sole system using primitive spacecraft. With
  5470. the construction of the FTL craft, the scale of the races expanded. Eventuallly,
  5471. competitions that descended down from them continue to take place throughout the
  5472. galaxy. Spaceship development factories and their subsidiary companies risk losing
  5473. prestige by sinking funds into corporate ships, while unknown privatiers enter their
  5474. own ships, trusting in their abilities. Whether they're corporate or private, pilots
  5475. in the race are all shooting for the same goal. The fame and glory bestowed on the
  5476. winner. It spurs them on in these dangerous races. These races have become well known
  5477. for the difficulty of their courses, not to mention the speed involved. Year after
  5478. year, many ships continue to participate. But the ultimate glory's given to the one who
  5479. overcomes all of these obstacles.
  5480.  
  5481. // The Outlaw Star is finally at Heiphong.
  5482.  
  5483. Space Port Guy: Attention. This is space port control tower in Heiphong. Outlaw Star, I have you
  5484. on my beacon.
  5485.  
  5486. Gene: Yes, we finally made it to Heiphong.
  5487.  
  5488. Jim: Since Heiphong's such a big place, aren't the port fees gonna cost us an awful lot of money?
  5489.  
  5490. Gene: Yeah, whatever, it will work out.
  5491.  
  5492. // They are on a subway.
  5493.  
  5494. Jim: Wow, this place is pretty cool.
  5495.  
  5496. Gene: C'mon, don't get so excited, it's embarressing.
  5497.  
  5498. Jim: I can't help it.
  5499.  
  5500. Jim and Gene: Oh...
  5501.  
  5502.  
  5503.  
  5504. Gene: Man o man, Heiphong's a big city alright.
  5505.  
  5506. Jim: Yeah.
  5507.  
  5508. Suzuka: So Gene, where do you plan on going to from here?
  5509.  
  5510. Gene: To the offices of the space race here in Heiphong.
  5511.  
  5512. Suzuka: Space race office?
  5513.  
  5514. Gene: Thats right, we're gonna enter the Outlaw Star in the space race.
  5515.

  5517.  
  5518. Gathering For the Space Race
  5519.  
  5520. ------------
  5521.  
  5522. // In the office...
  5523.  
  5524. Claire: Alright , now the Heiphong Space Race is open to everyone. The entry fee may be paid by
  5525. business or an individual, either way is fine. And the ship's class doesn't matter
  5526. either. If you'd still like to enter, I recommend you do now.
  5527.  
  5528. Gene: There's one more thing I'd like to know. If it would be possible, I'd like to get some more
  5529. information about the other ships that are competing.
  5530.  
  5531. Claire: I'm sorry, according to the rules, you're not allowed to investigate the other ships.
  5532.  
  5533. Gene: But I'm only interested in one other ship.
  5534.  
  5535. Claire: Well, I'm not allowed to tell you that sir.
  5536.  
  5537. Gene: Are you sure you can't?
  5538.  
  5539. Claire: Yes sir.
  5540.  
  5541. Gene: Okay, well in that case there's one other thing I'd like to know.
  5542.  
  5543. Claire: What would that be?
  5544.  
  5545. Gene: I'd really like your phone number.
  5546.  
  5547. Jim: Oh...
  5548.  
  5549. Claire: If I'm not mistaken, I think you already have this office's phone number.
  5550.  
  5551. Gene: Oh I see, since you put it that way, I guess I'll just call the office when the race is
  5552. over. In the meantime, would you mind doing me a favor? Tell us what we need to do now.
  5553.  
  5554. Claire: Just fill in the necessary items on these forms. Our staff will conduct a simple on
  5555. board check in before the race begins.
  5556.  
  5557. Gene: And anything else?
  5558.  
  5559. Claire: Yes sir. You must deposit into an assigned account 150000 wong as your entry fee.
  5560.  
  5561. Gene: I'm sorry, how much did you say?
  5562.  
  5563. Claire: 150000 wong. That of course includes the insurance.
  5564.  
  5565. Gene: Open to everyone?! Yeah right, c'mon lady, even if you win the race you don't take home a
  5566. single wong. What private pilot has that kind of money?
  5567.  
  5568. Jim: That is the stupidest thing I ever heard of.
  5569.  
  5570. Claire: When participants can't afford it they simply find themselves a sponser.
  5571.  
  5572. Jim: Find a sponser?
  5573.  
  5574. Claire: Thats right. The Heiphong Space Race is regarded as a highly effective advertising
  5575. approach by which many businesses have found they increased their sales. However...
  5576.  
  5577. Gene: Yeah? What now?
  5578.  
  5579. Claire: Just so you'd know, it might be difficult for someone entering the first time to find a
  5580. sponser.
  5581.  
  5582. Gene: I know! Thanks for nothing! Just you watch us lady, we're gonna enter this darn race and
  5583. we're gonna win! I'm not really sure how though.
  5584.  
  5585. // Later, as they eat at a local diner...
  5586.  
  5587. Jim: Just forget about it. I don't think we'll come up with the 150000 no matter what we do.
  5588.  
  5589. Gene: There are 2 reasons why we gotta fly in the space race. First, we gotta promote our name.
  5590. Because if we don't the big jobs are never gonna come our way.
  5591.  
  5592. Jim: You mean use it to kinda advertise us? Still what good is the race if we don't make any
  5593. money?
  5594.  
  5595. Gene: The second reason is MacDougal. I heard his ship is here now.
  5596.  
  5597. Jim: What are you kidding? The MacDougal Brothers are gonna enter the race?
  5598.  
  5599. Gene: I'm not sure. I dont' have any definite proof but I thought I saw one that looked like his
  5600. on the news when they showed all the ships entering the port.
  5601.  
  5602. Jim: Are you sure it was really them?
  5603.  
  5604. Gene: I don't think I can forget that ship. And I"m gonna enter this race to make sure they don't
  5605. forget me.
  5606.  
  5607. Jim: Okay, so now I know we are. But how are we gonna do it?
  5608.  
  5609. Gene: Hey, what do you think?
  5610.  
  5611. Suzuka: I believe in the expression neither a borrower nor a lender be. I left 3 wong, which was
  5612. my part of the bill.
  5613.  
  5614. // Suzuka leaves.
  5615.  
  5616. Gene: Wait a minute, where are you going?
  5617.  
  5618. Suzuka: I haven't the slightest bit of interest in space racing and theres nothing else here at
  5619. the moment that needs my help. But don't worry, once the race is over I'll be in touch
  5620. with you again.
  5621.  
  5622. Gene: Hey, don't bother.
  5623.  
  5624. Melfina: You sure about that?
  5625.  
  5626. Gene: I don't care, she can do what she wants.
  5627.  
  5628. Jim: So now what are we supposed to do?
  5629.  
  5630. Gene: I guess we're gonna have to go see our friend.
  5631.  
  5632. Jim: What? Uh oh.
  5633.  
  5634. // At Fred's...
  5635.  
  5636. Fred: My my, Gene and Jim. It must be fate that has brought us together again.
  5637.  
  5638.  
  5639.  
  5640. Gene: Actually, I'm surprised to find you here at your place. I thought other people always ran
  5641. your divine headquarters.
  5642.  
  5643. Fred: If theres a god of business he's certainly watching over me.
  5644.  
  5645. Gene: We came here strictly for business Fred. C'mon, I already explained this to you on the
  5646. phone.
  5647.  
  5648. Fred: Okay, alright, stop joking. I'll be glad to sponser you.
  5649.  
  5650. Gene: Really?
  5651.  
  5652. Jim: Yeah!
  5653.  
  5654. Fred: Its good advertising, even for us. We'll handle all your expenses if you finish in the
  5655. money.
  5656.  
  5657. Gene: Whats this in the money? Is that when you finish in the top 3?
  5658.  
  5659. Fred: Thats right. But if you finish 4th or lower you'll owe me even more money.
  5660.  
  5661. Jim: You see, what did I tell ya Gene?
  5662.  
  5663. Gene: Stop, its alright Jim. Okay, thats fine. With expenses it will come to about 400000 wong so
  5664. please have it ready for us.
  5665.  
  5666. Fred: Don't worry, I've been ready for a long time. Hm.
  5667.  
  5668. // He brings out a rack with a sheet over it.
  5669.  
  5670. Gene: Whats that supposed to be?
  5671.  
  5672. // Fred takes off the jacket revealing a very weird looking costume.
  5673.  
  5674. Fred: When you're in the winners circle you'll wear this. This way everyone will get a chance to
  5675. see you in it. It will be worth the 400000 and bring me such joy to my heart that I did it.
  5676.  
  5677. Jim: You're not gonna go through with this, are ya?
  5678.  
  5679. Gene: Yeah, like we have any other choice.
  5680.  
  5681. Jim: Fred, Melfina's not gonna have to wear that thing, is she?
  5682.  
  5683. Fred: Gene, you shouldn't bring Melfina here, it wouldn't be good. This place is much too
  5684. conspicous.
  5685.  
  5686. Melfina: Oh.
  5687.  
  5688. Gene: Whats going on here, what do you know about this?
  5689.  
  5690. Fred: Oh, not too much really. Only that the Kai pirates have been looking all over the place for
  5691. you and are making a special effort to find Melfina.
  5692.  
  5693. Gene: Oh, are you going to betray us and try to sell us out?
  5694.  
  5695. Fred: Of course not. Continuing to do business with you proves to be much more profitable.
  5696.  
  5697. Gene: We're not gonna let you down Fred.
  5698.  
  5699. Fred: Good. Now lets see what you're made of.
  5700.  
  5701. Gene: We'll see ya later. I hope you have a good time watching the race.
  5702.  
  5703. Fred: When does the race start?
  5704.  
  5705. Gene: Not long, 30 hours from now. We need to get going, we got a lot to do. Take it easy, Fred.
  5706.  
  5707. // On the way out...
  5708.  
  5709. Guard: You better not screw this up, I'm counting onyou.
  5710.  
  5711. Gene: Well well, what a shock. I never thought I'd see the day when you were cheering me on.
  5712.  
  5713. // In space...
  5714.  
  5715. Control Tower Guy: Outlaw Star control tower here. Negative return now confirmed.
  5716.  
  5717. Gene: This is the Outlaw Star here. Yes, negative return is clear.
  5718.  
  5719. Gilliam: Planetary launches should always run as smooth as this. Big cities always have the best
  5720. capabilities.
  5721.  
  5722. Jim: yeah, but it costs so much to park and we were only there for half a day.
  5723.  
  5724. Gene: You can't do anything without money here in Heiphong Jim, but if you're willing to spend
  5725. a little you can find just about anything that you can think of.
  5726.  
  5727. Melfina: Now displaying route to designated star position.
  5728.  
  5729. Gene: I gotcha.
  5730.  
  5731. Gilliam: Proceed immediately to start position.
  5732.  
  5733. Gene: Hey Gilliam, do you have any detailed maps of the Heiphong area?
  5734.  
  5735. Gilliam: Yes I do. My library is on par of that with a space force cruiser.
  5736.  
  5737. Gene: Good, go ahead and get them ready. We're gonna be needing them for the race.
  5738.  
  5739. Gilliam: Really, what race would that be? And by the way Gene, you still haven't explained to me
  5740. why Suzuka didn't come along this trip with you.
  5741.  
  5742. Gene: Don't worry, I'll explain the whole plan to you later.
  5743.  
  5744. // At the dock, Gene looks around.
  5745.  
  5746. Gene: I don't see MacDougal's ship anywhere.
  5747.  
  5748. Jim: You can tell all of that from here?
  5749.  
  5750. Gene: Believe me, if he was here I'd know it.
  5751.  
  5752. Jim: I think its kinda creepy here. (Yawn).
  5753.  
  5754. Gene: Hey listen, why don't we go check out that pre-race party thats going on now?
  5755.  
  5756. Jim: Mmmm... I'm there.
  5757.  
  5758. // On the way...
  5759.  
  5760. Jim: We left Melfina on the ship you know. You sure she's okay?
  5761.  
  5762. Gene: I'm just worried about what Fred said. And since she prefered to stay behind, I figured
  5763. that was best.
  5764.  
  5765. Jim: Maybe we should bring her back some cake from the party, I'm sure she'd really like that.
  5766.  
  5767. // On the Outlaw Star...
  5768.  
  5769. Melfina: Gilliam, I'd like to make a request to access Heiphong's largest data bank if you will
  5770. please.
  5771.  
  5772. Gilliam: The most likely one would be Dialo University. Just give me an extra moment Melfina.
  5773. And what specific topic are you interested in finding out about?
  5774.  
  5775. Melfina: The subject is myself.
  5776.  
  5777. Gilliam: Yourself? What exactly do you mean by that?
  5778.  
  5779. Melfina: I'd like some information to find about about who I really am. Why was I created at all.
  5780. I want to know why.
  5781.  
  5782. Gilliam: Melfina dear, in my world thinking about one's self isn't permitted at all. But I can
  5783. truly sympathize with how you're feeling right now. And I will do all that I can to
  5784. help you.
  5785.  
  5786. Melfina: Thank you Gilliam.
  5787.  
  5788. // At the party...
  5789.  
  5790. Speaker: The Heiphong Space Race has now reached its 13th year, and has become a truly hospicious
  5791. event with our largest field ever. This year, it consists of 13 corporate ships and 29
  5792. private ships that have entered the competition.
  5793.  
  5794. Gene: I wonder if he's here somewhere.
  5795.  
  5796. Speaker: The fact that there are 40 ships participating in this race merely for the honor of
  5797. winning is a true testement to its popularity.
  5798.  
  5799. Jim: Looking around won't do you any good, you don't know what he looks like.
  5800.  
  5801. Gene: So, I can still look.
  5802.  
  5803. Jim: C'mon, Gene, we paid big bucks to be in this race so lets atleast get our money's worth.
  5804. Check it out, don't you wanna try a little? Hm?
  5805.  
  5806. Gene: Yeah, alright.
  5807.  
  5808. // Gene walks up to a waitress that looks oddly familiar.
  5809.  
  5810. Gene: Ah. Hm? Ah?
  5811.  
  5812. Aisha: Meow?
  5813.  
  5814. Gene: Um.... hi.
  5815.  
  5816. Aisha: Yaah! I finally found you, Gene Starwind!
  5817.  
  5818. ---------------
  5819.  
  5820. Eyecatch
  5821.  
  5822. ---------------
  5823.  
  5824. Gene: Um... Hi.
  5825.  
  5826. Aisha: I found you! I found you! I found you! I finally found you!
  5827.  
  5828. Gene: Okay... What are you doing, Aisha?
  5829.  
  5830. Aisha: This is divine guidance from the god of Ctarl. Thank you god of Ctarl, I can hardly believe
  5831. it! Even though I had absolutely no money, I was determined to track you down and so I
  5832. hitchhiked all the way across space.
  5833.  
  5834. Jim: You hitchhiked all the way across space to get here?
  5835.  
  5836. Aisha: Yes, and it was hard. I went to where the ships were stationed and when I got there they
  5837. made me do all this heavy labor. I dreamt it and dreamt it and wound up here on Heiphong
  5838. and was so grateful to get this waitress job to earn just enough to eat. And just as I
  5839. was paying myself who would show up buth you? (laughs) Well well, who knew we would be
  5840. running into each other again so soon?
  5841.  
  5842. Gene: Man, I can't believe what bad luck we have.
  5843.  
  5844. Jim: This is ridicolous.
  5845.  
  5846. Aisha: Hey you 2, stop your babbling, I'm the one in control here.
  5847.  
  5848.  
  5849.  
  5850. Boss: Aisha!
  5851.  
  5852. Aisha: Huh?
  5853.  
  5854. Boss: Behave yourself.
  5855.  
  5856. Aisha: Ah... These 2 creeps, I mean gentlemen, were bothering me and I had to take care of myself.
  5857.  
  5858. Boss: Thats enough, we'll talk later.
  5859.  
  5860. Aisha is dragged away.
  5861.  
  5862. Aisha: Stop! Let go of me, let go!
  5863.  
  5864. Boss: If you cause anymore trouble here Aisha, you're not gonna get paid!
  5865.  
  5866. Aisha: Oh...
  5867.  
  5868. Boss: I'm very sorry about that gentlemen.
  5869.  
  5870. Gene: Hey, thats okay, really its no big deal.
  5871.  
  5872. // Back on the Outlaw Star...
  5873.  
  5874. Gilliam: I'm afraid there weren't enough leads for me to get any information for you Melfina.
  5875.  
  5876. Melfina: Thats alright, thank you for trying.
  5877.  
  5878. Gilliam: We could try checking out the pirates through the space forces, but I think thats also
  5879. gonna be very difficult.
  5880.  
  5881. Melfina: Its okay, you don't have to worry Gilliam. I didn't think I'd find out everything there
  5882. is to know about me right away.
  5883.  
  5884. Gilliam: Very well, I am sure that we will find a good lead eventually Melfina.
  5885.  
  5886. Melfina: Me too. Gene promised me one day that I would find out.
  5887.  
  5888. Gilliam: Oh did he? Well speaking of the devil, I believe he's coming through the door right now.
  5889.  
  5890. Jim: We're back! Hey guess what Melfina, we brought you a surprise!
  5891.  
  5892. Melfina: Just for me?
  5893.  
  5894. Jim: Mm hm.
  5895.  
  5896. Gene: Now listen Melfina, we need to resupply the ship, make a maitenence check, and get some
  5897. rest cause we start in 12 hours.
  5898.  
  5899. Melfina: Okay.
  5900.  
  5901. Gilliam: We start for where?
  5902.  
  5903. // Later...
  5904.  
  5905. Announcer: Ladies and Gentlemen, the start of the 13th Annual Heiphong Space Race is about to
  5906. begin. Participating ships have come from all over and are now assembling at the
  5907. starting point. Which team will win the wreath of victory in the Heiphong Space Race?
  5908.  
  5909. Gene: We leave here from Heiphong 4 and head to the third planet, Heiphong 3.
  5910.  
  5911. Jim: They say that its a binary planet. Man, they sure picked a nasty place to put that
  5912. checkpoint.
  5913.  
  5914. Gene: Oh, it gets much worse after that. Next, its the 5th planet, and then an orbit around
  5915. that gaseous nebula and then we pass through the asteroid belt.
  5916.  
  5917. Jim: It says that you can use the checkpoint at either the first or the second planet.
  5918.  
  5919. Melfina: The course using the second planet takes longer, but the course for the first planet
  5920. is kinda risky.
  5921.  
  5922. Gene: I like it already. Then we turn around and head back to Heiphong. The trip totals 1.6
  5923. billion kilometers.
  5924.  
  5925. Gilliam: We're in this race so we may as well win, Gene!
  5926.  
  5927. Gene: Alright, well its good to see you psyched.
  5928.  
  5929. Gilliam: Thats because no ship is even gonna come close to beating out the Outlaw Star.
  5930.  
  5931. Gene: You know it, now lets show them what the Outlaw Star is really made of. (thinking) I'm
  5932. gonna hunt you down MacDougal.
  5933.  
  5934. Jim: Gene, this will be all for nothing if we don't finish in the top 3.
  5935.  
  5936. Gene: Don't worry about that.
  5937.  
  5938. Jim: Alright, whatever you say. But if we finish in the top 3, thats 400000 wong minus the entry
  5939. fee then we get 200000 left for us. (laughs)
  5940.  
  5941. Announcer: The ships will start one at a time in 2 minute intervals. The first ship is approaching
  5942. the starting gate. The Blue Continental, a private vessel that competed in the last 6
  5943. races, piloted by Ernest Blue.
  5944.  
  5945. Melfina: All systems are normal, the output of all engines is normal.
  5946.  
  5947. Gene: We're number 26 in the line up, so relax, it will take a while.
  5948.  
  5949. Announcer: Ship number 7 in today's competition is unique. The Noburi Nueiro will be driven today
  5950. by Mr. Nubaso Kunono. He's here on business from Ctarl Ctarl.
  5951.  
  5952. Gene: Hey, he said thats a Ctarl Ctarl ship.
  5953.  
  5954. Jim: Oh yeah?
  5955.  
  5956. // On the ship...
  5957.  
  5958. Pilot: Officer Aisha, how would you like us to run this space race, like we normally do, or
  5959. perhaps some other way.
  5960.  
  5961. Aisha: Until I give an order, do what you want, but always remember to think of my orders as the
  5962. same as the empire's orders.
  5963.  
  5964. Pilot: Right.
  5965.  
  5966. Aisha: Just you watch my dear friends.
  5967.  
  5968. Pilot: Well, I'm going now Officer Aisha.
  5969.  
  5970. // They start.
  5971.  
  5972. Melfina: Newton Reactor and gravity cycle unit are now coming online.
  5973.  
  5974. Announcer: Well it looks like he made it after all, and just in time. The El Dorado arrived
  5975. late, but now the ship has managed to find its place in the starting lineup.
  5976.  
  5977. // MacDougal's ship shows up.
  5978.  
  5979. Gene: Huh? Oh...
  5980.  
  5981. Announcer: The El Dorado, which placed fifth last year, is a favorite this year. Her captain is
  5982. Harry Williams.
  5983.  
  5984. Gene: Harry Williams? Does that mean its not MacDougal?
  5985.  
  5986. // On the ship...
  5987.  
  5988. Harry: Hey I'm sorry I'm late, I got caught in an ether current storm on my way over to the race.
  5989.  
  5990. Technician: The El Dorado is scheduled to start in 7 minutes. Can you get yourself ready to go
  5991. by then?
  5992.  
  5993. Harry: Sure.
  5994.  
  5995. Technician: Alright, good luck Mr. Williams.
  5996.  
  5997. // He leaves.
  5998.  
  5999. Leo: Hey Harry, there's a transmition thats coming in. Says he's on the Outlaw Star.
  6000.  
  6001. Harry: I don't know that ship. Its about time we got started, just drop that for now.
  6002.  
  6003. Gene: Darn, he won't answer.
  6004.  
  6005. Race Official: Outlaw Star, the open channel at the starting point is for official use only.
  6006.  
  6007. Announcer: Attention, the El Dorado is headed for the starting gate.
  6008.  
  6009. Gene: Lets fire off the engines, I'm gonna close in on that ship.
  6010.  
  6011. Gilliam: The officials will stop us most certainly.
  6012.  
  6013. Jim: Gene, now take it easy, don't do anything crazy. You don't know who's ship that is for sure.
  6014.  
  6015. Gene: Ugh... Yeah, I guess you're right about that. Its a long race, but I'll get my chance to
  6016. find out for sure.
  6017.  
  6018. Announcer: El Dorado, its time to start.
  6019.  
  6020. Harry: Okay Leo, go ahead and cut loose.
  6021.  
  6022. Leo: Yeah hah!
  6023.  
  6024. // The El Dorado starts. Suzuka is in a casino, the race is on a television.
  6025.  
  6026. Announcer: Following the Bonaparte, sponsered by the Penelope Corporation, is the Outlaw Star, a
  6027. private vessel competing for the first time. Her captain is Gene Starwind.
  6028.  
  6029. // Outlaw Star starts going. An odd looking man watches in the dock.
  6030.  
  6031. Gwen: that ship looks very familiar.
  6032.  
  6033. Man: Is there something bothering you, Professor Khan?
  6034.  
  6035. Gwen: Oh no, its was nothing, nothing at all. Thank you for asking. It'll be alright. No doubt
  6036. about it, thats ship's the XGP15A2. But whats it doing here?
  6037.  
  6038. // Meanwhile...
  6039.  
  6040. Race Official: This is your final check, are you ready?
  6041.  
  6042. Gene: All systems green.
  6043.  
  6044. Race Official: Out
  6045.  
  6046. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  6047.  
  6048.  
  6049. Race Official: Well lets see... You just flew past 12 ships. There are 13 ships ahead of you,
  6050. but your time puts you in sixth as of now.
  6051.  
  6052. Jim: We're only in sixth after all we went through?
  6053.  
  6054. Race Official: You know, you're not the only ones who took that route just now, but I'll tell ya,
  6055. you are the only ones who slipped past that wave.
  6056.  
  6057. Gene: Yeah, well I thought I'd try to make the race a little more exciting.
  6058.  
  6059. Race Official: I getcha. Well now, you have a good race, okay?
  6060.  
  6061. Jim: Next up is the fifth planet Heiphong 5. Distance about 5 million kilometers.
  6062.  
  6063. Gene: Alright then, lets go to Sub Ether and jump this stretch, what do you say?
  6064.  
  6065. // Meanwhile, Suzuka listens to a radio on the beach.
  6066.  
  6067. Announcer: The rookie ship Outlaw Star has suddenly jumped up when it cleared the first checkpoint
  6068. and is know currently in sixth place. What do you think will happen, Mr. Ishigaki?
  6069.  
  6070. Mr. Ishigaki: Good question. With the Outlaw Star in sixth place, its certainly the darn course.
  6071.  
  6072. // On Outlaw Star...
  6073.  
  6074. Gene: Making a single orbit around this thing is an easy checkpoint, its obvious, what do you
  6075. think... Jim? Huh?
  6076.  
  6077. // Jim is asleep.
  6078.  
  6079. Gene: Hey! Jim!
  6080.  
  6081. Melfina: Hang in there Jim, we're almost to the weigh station.
  6082.  
  6083. Jim: (yawns) Yeah, you're right. You know, we're supposed to pull the ship over so we can run
  6084. maintanence for atleast an hour.
  6085.  
  6086. Gilliam: All systems show normal. Showing all green.
  6087.  
  6088. Gene: Well in that case, lets run maitanance on our selves. C'mon guys, lets go get something to
  6089. eat.
  6090.  
  6091. // They go to the station. Gene sees the El Dorado in the ship dock.
  6092.  
  6093. Gene: Its that ship... I finally caught up with him.
  6094.  
  6095. // Gene walks into a restaurant in the station and to the table where Harry sits.
  6096.  
  6097. Gene: Pardon me guys, are you the crew of the El Dorado?
  6098.  
  6099. Harry: Yeah, thats right, and who's asking?
  6100.  
  6101. Gene: First of all, which one of you's MacDougal?
  6102.  
  6103. Harry: There's nobody by that name here.
  6104.  
  6105. Gene: Yeah right, like I'm supposed to believe you. The MacDougal Brothers are the ones who own
  6106. the El Dorado.
  6107.  
  6108. Harry: Who are you talking about? I don't have the foggiest idea of what you mean.
  6109.  
  6110. Gene: Look, don't be stupid. It doesn't look like the guy Hilda talked to is here, but I remember
  6111. that ship alright.
  6112.  
  6113. // Flashback to El Dorado
  6114.  
  6115.  
  6116.  
  6117. Gene: You don't fool me, I wouldn't forget that for anything. That is definately the same ship
  6118. that attacked us at Farfallas.
  6119.  
  6120. Leo: What are you trying to pull here mister?
  6121.  
  6122. Terry: Let go of Harry right now!
  6123.  
  6124. Harry: Hey Terry, Leo its okay. Look here, I have no idea what you're talking about, I've never
  6125. even been to Farfalas, or whatever.
  6126.  
  6127. Gene: Alright then, why were the Kai Pirates looking for the XGP? And why did your people try to
  6128. destroy the XGP?
  6129.  
  6130. Harry: If you keep trying to pick a fight, I'll just have to call the race staff and...
  6131.  
  6132. Gene: Fine, go ahead but if you're smart you'd just cut out all the nonscense and just level with
  6133. me.
  6134.  
  6135. Harry: Somebody! This guy's interfering with the race!
  6136.  
  6137. Official: Is there a problem here?
  6138.  
  6139. Gene: Heh heh, no, he was just telling me about the house special, right? Well, sounds great, I
  6140. better be going, the special will have to wait for next time, thanks anyway buddy. See you
  6141. later.
  6142.  
  6143. // He leaves.
  6144.  
  6145. Terry: Hey Harry, who was that guy?
  6146.  
  6147. Harry: Shut your mouth.
  6148.  
  6149. Terry: Eh?
  6150.  
  6151. Harry: That little $@%*&! I can't believe it, he survived Farfalas?
  6152.  
  6153. Official: Everything okay here sir, you need some help?
  6154.  
  6155. Harry: No, everything's okay. Thank you.
  6156.  
  6157. // Back on the ship...
  6158.  
  6159. Jim: Watching you deal with that guy scared the life out of me, Gene. Man, talk about just blowing
  6160. a whole bunch of hot air.
  6161.  
  6162. Gene: Yeah, well thats only if the guy wasn't MacDougal. But if that really was him, then he
  6163. can't ignore us anymore. You'll see, he'll make contact.
  6164.  
  6165. Gilliam: Excuse me, but that ship is starting out now.
  6166.  
  6167. Gene: How soon can we leave?
  6168.  
  6169. Gilliam: In 11 minutes.
  6170.  
  6171. Gene: Once we catch up I'll show him a thing or two.
  6172.  
  6173. // Later...
  6174.  
  6175. Race Official: Attention all ships, we've been told that an ether stream is forming that
  6176. stretches from Heiphong 5 to the checkpoint 4A at Heiphong 1. The use of checkpoint
  6177. 4B at Heiphong 2 is recommended. I repeat...
  6178.  
  6179. Jim: You heard what he said.
  6180.  
  6181. Gene: Now, lets see how fast the El Dorado handles it.
  6182.  
  6183. // On the El Dorado...
  6184.  
  6185. Harry: Leo, give me the official data on the ship that left after us.
  6186.  
  6187. Leo: Okay.
  6188.  
  6189. // He sees the info.
  6190.  
  6191. Harry: Is that the XGP?
  6192.  
  6193. // Meanwhile, at Fred's...
  6194.  
  6195. Announcer: The ship in last place has now cleared the second check point. Two ships have currently
  6196. dropped out due to engine trouble. Lets hope no other ships...
  6197.  
  6198. Guard: Where do you think Gene might be with the Outlaw Star?
  6199.  
  6200. Fred: I have no idea, but this pathetic broadcast is barely covering the pirate ships.
  6201.  
  6202. Announcer: The third check point is the Leon Lagrange point, which is 140 kilometers from
  6203. Heiphong 5.
  6204.  
  6205. // On Aisha's ship...
  6206.  
  6207. Pilot: Lady Aisha, we'll be reaching the third chekpoint in just a moment.
  6208.  
  6209. Aisha: What is that out there?
  6210.  
  6211. Pilot: They say that a long time ago a satellite in orbit around Heiphong 5 had been destroyed
  6212. by something and all the debree from the destruction had been collected there.
  6213.  
  6214. Aisha: Reduce speed immediately.
  6215.  
  6216. Pilot: Like I really need to be told that.
  6217.  
  6218. // The El Dorado flies by them.
  6219.  
  6220. Leo: Its all yours Harry.
  6221.  
  6222. Harry: Well we could never gain any time without me at the helm, Leo.
  6223.  
  6224. // Meanwhile...
  6225.  
  6226. Aisha: Hmm Hmm Hmm Hmm Hmm... Hmm?
  6227.  
  6228. Pilot: Is there something you'd like to share with us Lady Aisha?
  6229.  
  6230. Aisha: I'm looking for a place to set up an ambush.
  6231.  
  6232. Both: Huh? Set up an ambush?
  6233.  
  6234. Aisha: Prepare for battle!
  6235.  
  6236. Both: Prepare for battle?
  6237.  
  6238. Aisha: Battle systems get ready, we will now launch a sneak attack on the Outlaw Star!
  6239.  
  6240. Pilot: Attack with a single machine gun?
  6241.  
  6242. Aisha: A single machine gun?! Hmph, what about your guriguri missiles or a gagaga cannon?
  6243.  
  6244. Pilot: We are not equipped with anything like that.
  6245.  
  6246. Aisha: And you call this an imperial ship?
  6247.  
  6248. Pilot: What are you saying, the Noburi Nueiro is just for trading with Heiphong. I don't know
  6249. what kind of orders you've been given from the empire, Lady Aisha, but this ship can't
  6250. make an attack!
  6251.  
  6252. Aisha: I can't believe this. Alright then, its time for a clever scheme from Aisha!
  6253.  
  6254. // Meanwhile, the Outlaw Star approaches another checkpoint.
  6255.  
  6256. Jim: There it is!
  6257.  
  6258. Gilliam: Ether density is climbing and is surging irregularly.
  6259.  
  6260. Melfina: Subspace radar error has increased to 24% and effective radius for standard radar is
  6261. also down 30%.
  6262.  
  6263. Gilliam: We'll have to forgo instruments and rely on our eyes.
  6264.  
  6265. Gene: Now you're about to see how good I can really be.
  6266.  
  6267. Jim: C'mon Gene, slow down!
  6268.  
  6269. Gene: Yeah, sure I will.
  6270.  
  6271. Melfina: Current speed is 12 kilometers per second.
  6272.  
  6273. Gilliam: It is clear for the next 180 kilometers. But I do see some big asteroids after that.
  6274.  
  6275. Gene: Whats the shortest route to the checkpoint?
  6276.  
  6277. Melfina: Please change course to one o'clock low.
  6278.  
  6279. Gene: Roger that.
  6280.  
  6281. Jim: Thats it.
  6282.  
  6283. Gene: Let's do it!
  6284.  
  6285. // They go through the checkpoint.
  6286.  
  6287. Jim: We have cleared the checkpoint.
  6288.  
  6289. Gene: Yeah, way to go. All we have to do now is get the heck outta here. Huh?
  6290.  
  6291. // They get a transmition.
  6292.  
  6293. Pilot: May day, may day. This is the Noburi Nueiro. I've collided with an asteroid. I've abandoned
  6294. ship due to risk of explosion. Request assistance, request assistance!
  6295.  
  6296. Gilliam: Its an emergency rescue transmition. I've pinpointed his position. I'll put it up on the
  6297. screen.
  6298.  
  6299. Jim: Gene, what do you think we should do? I know the course marshall will come by soon and they'll
  6300. be sure to take care of him.
  6301.  
  6302. Gene: Ah... Lets help the poor guy out.
  6303.  
  6304. Jim: Gene, what are you pulling, thats not like you.
  6305.  
  6306. Gene: Believe me, its not fun to be stranded out in space. Its a feeling I try not to remember.
  6307.  
  6308. // The ship stops and Gene prepares to go out.
  6309.  
  6310. Jim: Do you see him Gene?
  6311.  
  6312. Gene: Yeah. Uh... Uh...
  6313.  
  6314. Jim: Hey, whats wrong?
  6315.  
  6316. Gene: I'm jut a little dizzy.
  6317.  
  6318. Melfina: Will you be okay?
  6319.  
  6320. Gene: Yeah, I think I can handle it.
  6321.  
  6322. // He goes out and gets the stranded person, who is in their suit. They go inside the ship.
  6323.  
  6324. Gene: Okay now, you'll be fine.
  6325.  
  6326. Gilliam: Pressurization complete.
  6327.  
  6328. Gene: Are you the only crew member, or are the others still out there?
  6329.  
  6330. // The guy removes the helmet... it's Aisha!
  6331.  
  6332. Aisha: You wont' get away from me this time, you sucker!
  6333.  
  6334. Gene: Ah! What are you doing here?
  6335.  
  6336. Aisha: (laughs)
  6337.  
  6338. --------------
  6339.  
  6340. Eyecatch
  6341.  
  6342. --------------
  6343.  
  6344. Aisha: Do you mean to tell me after all this time the ones who have the key to the Galactic Leyline
  6345. are those MacDougal guys?
  6346.  
  6347. Gene: They sure have a lot more information on it than I do that much I can tell ya.
  6348.  
  6349. Aisha: Do you really expect me to believe you know absolutely nothing about the Galactic Leyline?
  6350.  
  6351. Gene: If we did, we would have gone there a long time ago. Look, when we find something we'll be
  6352. sure to tell you now get off the ship and go bug someone else.
  6353.  
  6354. Aisha: No way, I can't! There's no way I can go back to the empire like this! I can't go back,
  6355. they treat me like I'm useless! You're the only lead I have, you understand me? Until I
  6356. get my hands on what I want, I'm not going anywhere!
  6357.  
  6358. Jim: Gene, what are you gonna do with her?
  6359.  
  6360. Gene: Being popular with the girls ain't easy.
  6361.  
  6362. Jim: Thats not what I meant.
  6363.  
  6364. Aisha: I've never seen a ship like this before, its way behind any Ctarl Ctarl ship, it won't
  6365. move unless you're wet! Heh heh, thats very funny, don't you say?
  6366.  
  6367. Gilliam: How dare you talk about the galaxy's fastest, most advancedship like that.
  6368.  
  6369. Aisha: Huh? What the heck is that thing?
  6370.  
  6371. Gilliam: I am not a thing. I would appreciate if you called me Gilliam.
  6372.  
  6373. Aisha: What the... its a computer? Wow.
  6374.  
  6375. Gene: Enough of this, lets get back to racing. My plan to catch up with the El Dorado sure went
  6376. up in smoke, its becoming useless. Oh great, the cat girl shows up and everything goes out
  6377. of whack.
  6378.  
  6379. Jim: If we don't finish third or better, we're gonna be in debt even deeper.
  6380.  
  6381. Melfina: Now preparing for Sub Ether drive. Please handle course corrections.
  6382.  
  6383. Gene: Alright, roger.
  6384.  
  6385. Melfina: Estimated time to Sub Ether penetration 24 minutes.
  6386.  
  6387. Aisha: Meow.
  6388.  
  6389. Gene: I can't see!
  6390.  
  6391. // Later...
  6392.  
  6393. Aisha: Yawn. All of this travel has worn me out, I'm gonna take a little at nap right here.
  6394. Wake me up when we get there, okay?
  6395.  
  6396. Gene: Yeah, sure whatever.
  6397.  
  6398. Jim: Uh...
  6399.  
  6400. // Later...
  6401.  
  6402. Melfina: Now switching over to Sub Ether Drive. Manchausin Drive Reactor output regular and
  6403. climbing. Ether output thresholds reached.
  6404.  
  6405. Jim: Course laid in, relative coordinates verified.
  6406.  
  6407. Melfina: Now forming Sub Ether bubble.
  6408.  
  6409. // An alarm goes off.
  6410.  
  6411. Aisha: Quiet down, will ya?
  6412.  
  6413. Gilliam: Objects are closing in from rearward. There's an 87% probability they are missiles.
  6414.  
  6415. Jim: I don't get it, I didn't think anybody was after us.
  6416.  
  6417. Gene: We'll just intercept them, thats all.
  6418.  
  6419. Melfina: We can't, we're transforming to Sub Ether mode.
  6420.  
  6421. Gene: Just great. How long till we go to Sub Ether?
  6422.  
  6423. Melfina: 18 seconds.
  6424.  
  6425. Gilliam: Missiles will impact in 16 seconds.
  6426.  
  6427. Gene: I'll shake them off.
  6428.  
  6429. Aisha: Whats going on?
  6430.  
  6431. Melfina: Preparations for jump to light speed now complete. Sub Ether penetration in 8... 7...
  6432. 6... 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... 0...
  6433.  
  6434. Jim: We're gonna make it. Ah!
  6435.  
  6436. // The missiles hit them as they go into light speed.
  6437.  
  6438. // On the El Dorado...
  6439.  
  6440. Terry: Man Harry, that was really awesome.
  6441.  
  6442. Leo: Heh, they went to Sub Ether while they were being hit by gravity waves.
  6443.  
  6444. Harry: Too bad, they'll probably disintegrate. Okay, we can prepare to go to Sub Ether now.
  6445.  
  6446. Leo: Hey Harry, what was the big deal with that ship anyway?
  6447.  
  6448. Harry: As far as my brother and I are concerned, it was just an eyesore.
  6449.  
  6450. // Meanwhile, the Outlaw Star goes crazy.
  6451.  
  6452. Jim: Ah!
  6453.  
  6454. Gene: Erh...
  6455.  
  6456. Gilliam: There is no way to determine which direction we're going.
  6457.  
  6458. Gene: Sub Ether drive, emergency abort!
  6459.  
  6460. Melfina: The Manchausin Reactor is out of control!
  6461.  
  6462. Aisha: What the heck is going on?
  6463.  
  6464. Gilliam: Stress on the ship is climbing. Now exceeding any power.
  6465.  
  6466. Gene: Thats it! I'm cutting all engine systems!
  6467.  
  6468. // He shuts the ship off, stopping it.
  6469.  
  6470. All: Yaaah!
  6471.  
  6472. Aisha: Meow. Hey, c'mon, wake up will ya?
  6473.  
  6474. Gene: Uh... is everyone okay? Melfina?
  6475.  
  6476. Melfina: Yes, I'm fine.
  6477.  
  6478. Gilliam: We are currently operating on auxiliary power so there's no information regarding whats
  6479. outside. Please restart the ship.
  6480.  
  6481. Gene: Unbelievable... life goes on and on. Its too much.
  6482.  
  6483. // He restarts the ship.
  6484.  
  6485. Gilliam: Testing. Testing.
  6486.  
  6487. Aisha: Where the heck are we anyway?
  6488.  
  6489.  
  6490.  
  6491. Gilliam: It would be accurate to say we have safely returned to normal space. Fortunately, we
  6492. don't appear to be too far away from the Heiphong system. I will try to calculate our
  6493. position.
  6494.  
  6495. Aisha: This ship is a lot tougher than I thought.
  6496.  
  6497. Gilliam: I believe I already mentioned it. I am the fastest, most advanced ship in the galaxy.
  6498.  
  6499. Aisha: Hm.
  6500.  
  6501. Gene: Know where we are?
  6502.  
  6503. Gilliam: Yes, Gene. We are slightly outside the orbit of Heiphong 5. About 360 million kilometers
  6504. above its orbital plane.
  6505.  
  6506. Jim: How long has it been since we jumped?
  6507.  
  6508. Gilliam: Ship's clock says its been 2 minutes 24 seconds since Sub Ether entry.
  6509.  
  6510. Gene: Bring us up to date Gilliam, whats the status report?
  6511.  
  6512. Gilliam: Life support, all communications and all sensors show normal.
  6513.  
  6514. Melfina: Irregularities confirmed in the ether drive system. Newton Reactors 1 and 3 are inoperatable.
  6515.  
  6516. Jim: Ah!
  6517.  
  6518. Gene: Alright then, activate Newton Reactors 2 and 4. And lay in a stable course to checkpoint 4.
  6519.  
  6520. Gilliam: I perceive that you want to continue the race.
  6521.  
  6522. Gene: You think I'd give up when we can still move under our own power? The Sub Ether drive still
  6523. works, right?
  6524.  
  6525. Melfina: Yes, but 2 reactors are at 50 percent output, thats not enough for Sub Ether entry, we
  6526. are working under a lower level of propulsion.
  6527.  
  6528. Gene: How many hours to checkpoint 4 just using the Ether drive?
  6529.  
  6530. Gilliam: The distance is 600 million kilometers. At 50 percent propulsion, it would take 96 hours.
  6531.  
  6532. Jim: The race would already be over...
  6533.  
  6534. Aisha: What's the deal, you've given up? Someone just blasted you with a couple of missiles and
  6535. you're just gonna sit there and cry, the ship's busted, we're stuck! What're we gonna do?
  6536. We don't stand a chance, we're all doomed! Oh no, we're really doomed, we've failed, I'll
  6537. never make it . To a Ctarl Ctarl this attitude is all wrong. A Ctarl Ctarl never accepts
  6538. defeat, to a Ctarl Ctarl its all about justice, courage, and tenacity...
  6539.  
  6540. Jim: Doesn't she know by now we're not Ctarl Ctarl?
  6541.  
  6542. Aisha: It takes guts to go swimming in the Ether sea...
  6543.  
  6544. Gene: Wait, ether? Gilliam, can you tell me where that ether stream is forming?
  6545.  
  6546. Gilliam: Oh my, lets take a look. Ah, here it is. The stream runs from Heiphong 5 to Heiphong 1.
  6547. I've located it.
  6548.  
  6549. Gene: Aisha, sit down.
  6550.  
  6551. Aisha: Don't tell me what to do... Ah!
  6552.  
  6553. Jim: Now what are you planning to do?
  6554.  
  6555. Gene: I don't care is we win or lose, but I've got an idea, I think it can work its at least
  6556. worth trying.
  6557.  
  6558. Jim: You don't mean what I think you mean...
  6559.  
  6560. Gene: Jim, you know any normal ship would be history if it went into an Ether stream. That is,
  6561. any normal ship.
  6562.  
  6563. Gilliam: I say this is no ordinary ship.
  6564.  
  6565. Gene: Thats it exactly. I noticed something surprising when I saw the operating manual. This ship
  6566. can make it out of an ether stream with no problem. Which means, we're gonna take this
  6567. baby...
  6568.  
  6569. Jim: I don't wanna hear it!
  6570.  
  6571. Gene: And ride that ether stream all the way.
  6572.  
  6573. Aisha: Heh, let's go!
  6574.  
  6575. // They do...
  6576.  
  6577. Melfina: We have made contact and have now switched to Grappler combat mode.
  6578.  
  6579. Gene: Have faith in me guys, enjoy the ride, you're in good hands. I can handle this, I can do it!
  6580.  
  6581. Jim: How do you know?
  6582.  
  6583. Gene: I don't!
  6584.  
  6585. Jim: I knew it.
  6586.  
  6587. Gene: Thats okay, there's a first time for everything!
  6588.  
  6589. // Using parachutes on the grappler arms, the ship is pulled along the wave.
  6590.  
  6591. Gene: (How bad?) is the best practice.
  6592.  
  6593. Aisha: Heeyah! Lets get that missile guy!
  6594.  
  6595. // The El Dorado heads through the checkpoint.
  6596.  
  6597. Race Official: You have just passed checkpoint 4, El Dorado.
  6598.  
  6599. Harry: What's our standing?
  6600.  
  6601. Race Official: According to our checkpoint data, as the standings read you are currently in 4th
  6602. place.
  6603.  
  6604. Leo: So now it all depends on which ships are headed for Heiphong 1, is that right?
  6605.  
  6606. Race Official: However, we have recently been notified that there is an ether stream that is
  6607. in the surrounding areas of Heiphong 1.
  6608.  
  6609. Harry: So finishing in above 4th place is a sure thing. But why is my heart pounding like this?
  6610.  
  6611. // Elsewhere...
  6612.  
  6613. Tech Guy: What, where did they come from?
  6614.  
  6615. Tech Guy 2: It looks like they're riding the ether stream.
  6616.  
  6617. Tech Guy: By accident?
  6618.  
  6619. Tech Guy 2: No, it look

  6623. Outlaw Star
  6624. Script- Episode 12
  6625. Mortal Combat With the El Dorado
  6626.  
  6627.  
  6628.  
  6629.  
  6630.  
  6631. Narrator: They kill as well if it will make them some money that is. Pirates? Outlaws? Space
  6632. Force flunkies? No, they're none of those. But they'll take jobs from anyone. Right,
  6633. if it will make them some money. At any rate, they're like Hyenas that are valued by
  6634. all the powers. They're dangerous if you get to close to them. And good. If they weren't,
  6635. somebody would have stopped them a long time ago. They are more powerful than other
  6636. people's hatred of them. Everyone in the Underworld know the name: The MacDougal
  6637. Brothers. But no one knows what the MacDougal Brothers are really like. They're
  6638. careful, bold, cunning and will do anything for money. They're dependable, tough,
  6639. ruthless. Everyone who knows anything more than the rumors has dissappeared. All at the
  6640. hands of the MacDougal Brothers.
  6641.  
  6642. // The Outlaw Star heads through an asteroid cluttered area.
  6643.  
  6644. Melfina: Distance to Leon Lagrandge point 30000 kilometers.
  6645.  
  6646. Gene: Jim, do you see any sign of the El Dorado?
  6647.  
  6648. Jim: Nope, still nothing. But, the magnetic storm seems to be affecting the sensors just a little.
  6649.  
  6650. Gilliam: According to the findings of the latest meteorlogical data, it appears solar flares are
  6651. still active. This magnetic storm will probably last a while.
  6652.  
  6653. Gene: Good. This means they're in the same situation. And now its pay back time, El Dorado.

  6659. ---------------------
  6660.  
  6661. // Flashback to earlier...
  6662.  
  6663. Gene: What did you say? What do you mean the El Dorado has dropped out!? Huh?
  6664.  
  6665. Official: You're asking the wrong guy.
  6666.  
  6667. Gene: Where did he go, tell me!
  6668.  
  6669. Official: Well sir, thats just it, we have a comm cube with your name on it. It was sent directly
  6670. from the El Dorado.
  6671.  
  6672. Gene: What? Sent to me?
  6673.  
  6674. // Back to the present...
  6675.  
  6676. Melfina: Distance to Lagrandge point 10000.
  6677.  
  6678. Gilliam: Still no sign of the enemy.
  6679.  
  6680. Jim: Gene, wouldn't he be inside the asteroid field by now?
  6681.  
  6682. Gene: More than likely, but I don't want to go in there yet until I'm absolutely certain. I'm
  6683. slowing us down.
  6684.  
  6685. // Flashback to when they checked out the comm cube.
  6686.  
  6687. Harry: I'm fed up with that so called luck of yours, you're wasting my time. Come over to the
  6688. Leon Lagrandge point, I wanna finish this. Make it within 50 hours. If you get there
  6689. before me, I'll tell you whatever you want to know.
  6690.  
  6691. Jim: What do you think?
  6692.  
  6693. Gene: I guess that he's challenging us to a duel.
  6694.  
  6695. // Back to the present.
  6696.  
  6697. Gilliam: Oh my. Collected interplanetary material. Sudden ether current interface. Magnetic
  6698. storms, horrible conditions.
  6699.  
  6700. Jim: It doesn't look like the radar, CFS, or subspace radar are gonna be of any use to us in this
  6701. region.
  6702.  
  6703. Gene: So we'll just have to rely on our eyes, thats all.
  6704.  
  6705. Aisha: Then leave it to me, cause I got the eyes.
  6706.  
  6707. Gene: Yeah, I hear that the Ctarl Ctarl have got the best eyes around.
  6708.  
  6709. // Flashback again...
  6710.  
  6711.  
  6712.  
  6713. Gene: Just give me one good reason why we have to bring you along.
  6714.  
  6715. Aisha: You're the ones who ruined my chance at moving up in the world. Hmph. You're gonna make up
  6716. for it. I have to find the Galactic Leyline and you're gonna help me do it now.
  6717.  
  6718. Gene: Okay, but there is something I've been wanting to ask you. Exactly what in the heck is the
  6719. Galactic Leyline?
  6720.  
  6721. Aisha: You don't even know that?
  6722.  
  6723. Gene: Hilda didn't exactly divulge information.
  6724.  
  6725. Aisha: Well listen closely. At the Galactic Leyline there's an incredible treasure.
  6726.  
  6727. Jim: Treasure, like what, some kind of precious metal?
  6728.  
  6729. Aisha: That or some storehouse of dragonite. In other words, the empire's intelligence bureau
  6730. estimates that its value is capable of buying an entire solar system!
  6731.  
  6732. Jim: Wow, incredibly cool.
  6733.  
  6734. Gene: However cool it is, its just a thing. From just the little bit of information I have heard,
  6735. I wouldn't go as far as to call it some incredible treasure.
  6736.  
  6737. Aisha: What would you call it?
  6738.  
  6739. Gene: A gate? I don't know, I hear that its some kind of gateway.
  6740.  
  6741. Aisha: Then thats it, that gateway is probably made out of Dragonite. That would make sense to
  6742. me.
  6743.  
  6744. Gene: Anyhow, there's absolutely no way we can take you with us. This is our own duel, okay?
  6745.  
  6746. Aisha: Uh... Uh... Uh... If these MacDougal Brothers know something about the Galactic Leyline
  6747. then I'm definately coming along with you guys. Understand what I've said to you?
  6748.  
  6749. // Back to the present...
  6750.  
  6751. Aisha: Hmm... I don't see a sign of them.
  6752.  
  6753. Jim: Maybe its a trap?
  6754.  
  6755. Gene: Of course its a trap, what do you think? They want to destroy this ship. That is, the ship
  6756. called the XGP.
  6757.  
  6758. // We now have yet another flashback. As they leave the dock, a strange glassed man approaches
  6759. them.
  6760.  
  6761. Gwen: One moment. A moment please, gentlemen.
  6762.  
  6763.  
  6764.  
  6765. Gene: Huh? You mean us?
  6766.  
  6767. Gwen: Yes, thats right, I'm addressing you. How did you come into possession of that ship? Hmm.
  6768. Hmm. That ship.
  6769.  
  6770. Gene: So, who are you?
  6771.  
  6772. Gwen: Hm hm hm. I'm Gwen Khan. Yes, I'm Gwen. I am a race official. Of this race. Hm Hm Hm Hm.
  6773. Thats what I am, an official.
  6774.  
  6775. Gene: And what exactly makes you so interested in our ship, Mr. Official?
  6776.  
  6777. Gwen: I'm interested, yes interested, yes I am. Its a high performance ship made by an unknown
  6778. manufacturer. Yes, its a high performance ship it truly is.
  6779.  
  6780. Gene: Is that so?
  6781.  
  6782. Jim: (grumbles)
  6783.  
  6784. Gwen: C'mon now, tell, do tell, how did you come by that ship, I must know. That is the mystery.
  6785. Yes, that is the mystery.
  6786.  
  6787. Gene: Hmm... We found it.
  6788.  
  6789. Gwen: Found it? Hm, you found it. Is that possible? No. How odd. You found it.
  6790.  
  6791. Gene: Yep, it was abandoned, and without an owner. So I guess that means it's our ship now. Is
  6792. that a problem?
  6793.  
  6794. Gwen: A problem? A problem? Let's see... I suppose there isn't. No, no problem at all.
  6795.  
  6796. Gene: Good. Alright then. You'll have to excuse us cause we're in a hurry.
  6797.  
  6798. Gwen: Gentlemen. Aren't you guys going to read?
  6799.  
  6800. Gene: Huh?
  6801.  
  6802. Gwen: Hah hah, its nothing. Absolutely nothing. Nothing, nothing.
  6803.  
  6804. // Back to the present.
  6805.  
  6806. Aisha: (yawn) I'm just so bored.
  6807.  
  6808. Jim: What was the deal with that old man Khan?
  6809.  
  6810. Gene: I don't know.
  6811.  
  6812. Jim: By the way Gene, are we just gonna keep circling this asteroid forever?
  6813.  
  6814. Gene: Ah... we can't find our dance partners so what choice do we have? Hey, maybe I'll just slow
  6815. a little bit.
  6816.  
  6817. Melfina: All sytems show green.
  6818.  
  6819. Gene: Green is good. Now what about Newton Reactors 1 and 3?
  6820.  
  6821. Melfina: Functioning normally.
  6822.  
  6823. Gilliam: Well yes of course. Although it may have been a rush job, the repairs have been completed.
  6824.  
  6825. Gene: Gee, your superiority once again saves the day.
  6826.  
  6827. Gilliam: Your praise flatters me Gene. One moment.
  6828.  
  6829. Gene: Now what?
  6830.  
  6831. Gilliam: Detecting missiles, closing in from 9 o clock high.
  6832.  
  6833. Gene: Missiles? With no warning?
  6834.  
  6835. // They shoot the missiles down.
  6836.  
  6837. Jim: Enemy ship spotted ahead.
  6838.  
  6839. Harry: This will be a one on one duel. That isn't a problem, is it?
  6840.  
  6841. Gene: Now, now, this isn't exactly fair. Its pretty obvious that you intend to destroy us. But
  6842. there's just a few things we'd like to ask before you're destroyed.
  6843.  
  6844. Harry: Don't you know you don't stand a chance?
  6845.  
  6846. Gene: Well thats quite the plan. We're in your backyard so we have the disadvantage.
  6847.  
  6848. Harry: In that case I'll give you a guarantee. Listen, I don't come over to the Heipong area very
  6849. often.
  6850.  
  6851. Gene: Oh really? So where's your usual stomping ground?
  6852.  
  6853. Harry: Ah... just around. Heh.
  6854.  
  6855.  
  6856.  
  6857. // Ends communication.
  6858.  
  6859. Aisha: Errh... shoot.
  6860.  
  6861. Jim: Now what are we gonna do?
  6862.  
  6863. Gene: Accept the challenge, what do you think? Gilliam, launch the camera. It'll be our scout.
  6864.  
  6865. // Gilliam does so.
  6866.  
  6867. Gilliam: Be aware the conditions are even worse inside the asteroid field. Sending it in too far
  6868. would appear to be useless.
  6869.  
  6870. Gene: Then you might say that his traps wouldn't stand a chance in there either, would they?
  6871.  
  6872. Jim: There's no sign of the enemy ship at all!
  6873.  
  6874. Gene: Hey Aisha, I want you to watch our backs, you got it?
  6875.  
  6876. Aisha: Just leave it to me!
  6877.  
  6878. Gene: Aw... darn it all. Why did he pick a place like this for a duel? What kind of trick is he
  6879. trying to pull?
  6880.  
  6881. Melfina: Missiles detected. They're directly below us.
  6882.  
  6883. Gene: You're gonna pay!
  6884.  
  6885. // They dodge the missiles.
  6886.  
  6887. Jim: Looks like he's got himself some accurate missiles. This guy's not foolin around.
  6888.  
  6889. Gene: Now I get it, so thats why he has us stuck out here. If we can make this a close quarters
  6890. fight, he's all ours.
  6891.  
  6892. // They see him.
  6893.  
  6894. Jim: There he is! You sucker!
  6895.  
  6896. // They miss, as the El Dorado goes behind an asteroid.
  6897.  
  6898. Gene: You won't get away! Huh? Where'd he go?
  6899.  
  6900. Aisha: They're on our back!
  6901.  
  6902. Gene: What did you say?
  6903.  
  6904. // Missiles fly at them.
  6905.  
  6906. Gene: Erh... that loser!
  6907.  
  6908. // The Missiles miss.
  6909.  
  6910. Gene: Tell me something Gilliam. Is his ship more manueverable than the Outlaw Star is?
  6911.  
  6912. Gilliam: This ship utilizes the most advanced navigation system in the galaxy. Its impossible
  6913. that my manueverability is inferior to a ship of the same class.
  6914.  
  6915. Gene: You don't say. Well this guy has no idea.
  6916.  
  6917. Melfina: Missiles closing in 10 o clock high.
  6918.  
  6919. // They shoot them down.
  6920.  
  6921. Jim: Man, just come at us dead on already!
  6922.  
  6923. Gene: Yeah, the MacDougal Brothers definately have some interesting tactics. They sure like to
  6924. sneak around.
  6925.  
  6926. Aisha: What? Starboard ft, some more missiles approaching!
  6927.  
  6928. Gilliam: At four o clock high.
  6929.  
  6930. Gene: No, what do you mean? He snuck up behind us already?
  6931.  
  6932. Jim: There's no way we can shake off the ones on the right.
  6933.  
  6934. Gene: Then I'll swat em down!
  6935.  
  6936. // Gene starts Grappler Combat Mode and shoots them down.
  6937.  
  6938. Gene: (breathes heavy) I'm gonna have to go all out against this guy.
  6939.  
  6940. -------------
  6941.  
  6942. Eyecatch
  6943.  
  6944. -------------
  6945.  
  6946. Gene: (breathes heavy)
  6947.  
  6948. // An alarm goes off.
  6949.  
  6950. Gilliam: Incoming missiles. 5 o clock high.
  6951.  
  6952. Melfina: Missiles coming in front 3 o clock high, count 5.
  6953.  
  6954. // Gene shoots them down.
  6955.  
  6956. Gene: Erh.
  6957.  
  6958. // One of the missiles hits the ship.
  6959.  
  6960. All: Ah!!!
  6961.  
  6962. Jim: Gene, if this keeps up, we're history!
  6963.  
  6964. Gene: Don't worry, he'll be out of missiles soon. Thats when the finals start.
  6965.  
  6966. Aisha: Stop fooling around you bird brains! Blast your way in there and smash him to a pulp!
  6967. You can't let him do this to you anymore!
  6968.  
  6969. Gene: Shut up Aisha, if I could I would.
  6970.  
  6971. Aisha: Erh...! Don't tell me to shut up, you!
  6972.  
  6973. Gene: I said to shut up, so shut up!
  6974.  
  6975. Aisha: You shut up!
  6976.  
  6977. Melfina: Gilliam, isn't it getting a little to hot on the bridge?
  6978.  
  6979. Gilliam: I'm sorry about that Melfina. I'll lower it 2 degrees at once.
  6980.  
  6981. Jim: 10 o clock high, more of them!
  6982.  
  6983. Gene: Ah! Got it!
  6984.  
  6985. // He gets them.
  6986.  
  6987. Gene: Where's the El Dorado?
  6988.  
  6989. Gilliam: I've seem to have lost it.
  6990.  
  6991. Gene: C'mon Gilliam, what are you doing?
  6992.  
  6993. Jim: Why don't we launch the cameras and position them all around us?
  6994.  
  6995. Gilliam: Our effective signal range in these conditions is about 100 kilometers. It is unlikely
  6996. that we will receive any useful visuals.
  6997.  
  6998. Aisha: Listen to me, plow through those guys, crush them into pieces, and stop fooling around!
  6999.  
  7000. Gene: I told you to shut up Aisha!
  7001.  
  7002. Aisha: Right, like I'm gonna shut up.
  7003.  
  7004. Gene: Look, if you don't shut up, I'm throwing you outside!
  7005.  
  7006. Aisha: Why you! Erh... meow?
  7007.  
  7008. Gene: Throw her out, wait... not thats it, just like in the old days when they had a look out that
  7009. would give them a signal. Like some kind of strong light or something. Aisha, I need you
  7010. to do me a favor that can only be done by a strong Ctarl Ctarl.
  7011.  
  7012. Aisha: Huh? What made you change?
  7013.  
  7014. Gene: I need to throw you off the ship, okay?
  7015.  
  7016. Aisha: meow...
  7017.  
  7018. Gene: Well, the odds aren't really that great really, but I think, well lets just say its a
  7019. better plan then keeping all of this going.
  7020.  
  7021. Aisha: meow...
  7022.  
  7023. // On the El Dorado...
  7024.  
  7025. Leo: By about now they should be sweating bullets.
  7026.  
  7027. Harry: You're probably right, huh?
  7028.  
  7029. // They get a transmition.
  7030.  
  7031. Terry: Hey Harry, we gonna finish them off?
  7032.  
  7033. Harry: Nah, I'm gonna play with them a little more. How many missiles are left?
  7034.  
  7035. Terry: We have 24 percent remaining.
  7036.  
  7037. Harry: (laughs) See, we have plenty left. Lets sneak behind them. Make sure that they don't find
  7038. out there's another ship.
  7039.  
  7040. // Suddenly, the ship is shot at.
  7041.  
  7042. Leo: Ah, no...
  7043.  
  7044. Aisha: There they are! There they are! I found them!
  7045.  
  7046. Harry: Oh no, I think we've been spotted!
  7047.  
  7048. Leo: Imposible!
  7049.  
  7050. Terry: Ship coming in. Its the Outlaw Star!
  7051.  
  7052. Gene: Yeah, now you guys are mine.
  7053.  
  7054. Harry: You think I'm going down that easily?
  7055.  
  7056. // The El Dorado's grappler arms come out.
  7057.  
  7058. Gene: I didn't know they had grappler arms!
  7059.  
  7060. Harry: You thought the El Dorado was just another ordinary cruiser, didn't ya?
  7061.  
  7062. // They fight.
  7063.  
  7064. Harry: Hah hah! Gotcha!
  7065.  
  7066. Gene: Erh...
  7067.  
  7068. // Harry pounds on the ship with the grappler arms.
  7069.  
  7070. All: Erh...
  7071.  
  7072. Harry: Die! Die! Die! Die! You die!
  7073.  
  7074. Gene: Blast you!
  7075.  
  7076. // He smashes the Outlaw Star into the El Dorado.
  7077.  
  7078. Gene: Take over, Jim.
  7079.  
  7080. Jim: But why?
  7081.  
  7082. Gene: Cause I'm going over there to meet them.
  7083.  
  7084. // Gene heads into the ship.
  7085.  
  7086. Gene: Uh...
  7087.  
  7088. Leo: This is the El Dorado! We've been caught by the enemy!
  7089.  
  7090. Harry: Stop that.
  7091.  
  7092. Leo: Huh?
  7093.  
  7094. Harry: If its come to that, don't worry, I'll settle it.
  7095.  
  7096. // Gene heads through the hall and is attacked by Leo in a mechanical suit, Gene uses knock out
  7097. gas and shoots him.
  7098.  
  7099. Gene: Now tell me, where is MacDougal?
  7100.  
  7101. // He points to where to go. Gene heads there.
  7102.  
  7103. Gene: Huh?
  7104.  
  7105. Harry: So tell me, what do you wanna know?
  7106.  
  7107. // Harry is hacking into the Outlaw Star with a wire on his neck.
  7108.  
  7109. Gilliam: Oh no. Warning. Warning.
  7110.  
  7111. Jim: What is it, Gilliam?
  7112.  
  7113. Gilliam: Someone is trying to hack into me. And the source is unavailable. Engaging emergency
  7114. protection. Now I must say goodnight.
  7115.  
  7116. Jim: Gilliam!
  7117.  
  7118. Melfina: Ah! Ah!
  7119.  
  7120. Jim: What is it?
  7121.  
  7122. Melfina: Stop it, stay away!
  7123.  
  7124. // Meanwhile...
  7125.  
  7126. Gene: So, you're MacDougal, aren't you?
  7127.  
  7128. Harry: Harry MacDougal. Although thats the first time I've been given my name to an enemy.
  7129.  
  7130. Gene: I'm only gonna ask you this once. Why did the Kai Pirates want the XGP?
  7131.  
  7132. Harry: It was their ship in the first place, isn't that right?
  7133.  
  7134. Gene: Why did you want to have the XGP destroyed?
  7135.  
  7136. Harry: Hah, I don't ask my employers for reasons.
  7137.  
  7138. Gene: Oh yeah? Who's your employer?
  7139.  
  7140. Harry: Well now... Heh heh.
  7141.  
  7142. Harry: (thinking) I see. So this is the ship's main computer!
  7143.  
  7144. Gene: Hey!
  7145.  
  7146. Harry: Oh, I've never met him before. He just came to us with a job offer, thats all.
  7147.  
  7148. Gene: Tell me about the XGP, whats the whole story behind it?
  7149.  
  7150. Harry: I don't really know anything about it. Hm. Well, the pirates did say something about being
  7151. involved with the Galactic Leyline.
  7152.  
  7153. Gene: What did they say about it?
  7154.  
  7155. Harry: (thinking) Hah hah! I'm gonna trash this thing in one mine.
  7156.  
  7157. Harry: (laughs) I don't believe this!
  7158.  
  7159. Gene: Huh? What are you doing?
  7160.  
  7161. Harry: (laughs)
  7162.  
  7163. Gene: Erh...
  7164.  
  7165. // Gene shoots him.
  7166.  
  7167. Harry: My arm! I can't believe it, you got my arm!
  7168.  
  7169. Gilliam: The access seems to have been cut off.
  7170.  
  7171. Gene: What does the XGP have to do with the Galactic Leyline? Huh?
  7172.  
  7173. Harry: I don't know. I don't know.
  7174.  
  7175. Gene: Alright then, tell me this. What did you destroy my father's ship 6 years ago.
  7176.  
  7177. Harry: I don't know. 6 years ago I was only 12 years old.
  7178.  
  7179. Gene: Hey, you're a MacDougal. Come to think of it, where is your brother?
  7180.  
  7181. Jim: Gene, we've got a problem. There's another one. Another El Dorado.
  7182.  
  7183. Gene: How can that be?
  7184.  
  7185. // Harry escapes.
  7186.  
  7187. Jim: Get back here now!
  7188.  
  7189. Gene: What do you know, the brother.
  7190.  
  7191. // Meanwhile...
  7192.  
  7193. Ron: Harry, whats the matter, what happened? C'mon, answer me now, Harry.
  7194.  
  7195. // On the El Dorado...
  7196.  
  7197. Harry: I'll blow them to smithereens. I'll blow them to smithereens. I'll blow them to smithereens!
  7198.  
  7199. // They escape in a dropship.
  7200.  
  7201. Gilliam: Well that finally solves the mystery. They didn't fly circles around us because they
  7202. were more manueverable, there was another ship.
  7203.  
  7204. Jim: This is no time for analysis. Gene! I'm pulling out the assault bolt!
  7205.  
  7206. Gene: Turns out that other guy is the real MacDougal.
  7207.  
  7208. Jim: What do you mean real?
  7209.  
  7210. Gene: Its his older brother. You're not getting away.
  7211.  
  7212. // The El Dorado blows up.
  7213.  
  7214. Jim: Uh...
  7215.  
  7216. Gene: Ah, darn it!
  7217.  
  7218. // The follow the other ship, but it shoots a missile at an asteroid, blowing it up and blocking
  7219. their view.
  7220.  
  7221. Gilliam: We're in danger. Please take evasive measures.
  7222.  
  7223. // On the other ship...
  7224.  
  7225. Harry: Oh man, you're hurting me Ron! Stop! Ow, my arm, my arm, my arm!
  7226.  
  7227. Ron: Calm down Harry, calm down. If you're a MacDougal man, you don't get upset over a stupid
  7228. little scratch.
  7229.  
  7230. Harry: Right, I'm so sorry brother.
  7231.  
  7232. Ron: Hey, its alright. We're gonna do a whole lot worse to the guy who did this to you.
  7233.  
  7234. Harry: Right, and I promise I won't back down like that again. That woman... That woman...
  7235.  
  7236. // On the Outlaw Star...
  7237.  
  7238. Jim: It's useles,, I'm not picking them up anywhere!
  7239.  
  7240. Gilliam: Enemy ship lost.
  7241.  
  7242. Jim: Okay, now what.
  7243.  
  7244. Gene: Like we have much choice. We just go back to Heiphong and try again. Sorry about that
  7245. Melfina, it looks like I just lost us another lead.
  7246.  
  7247. Melfina: Huh? Don't worry, its okay.
  7248.  
  7249. Aisha: Hey! Isn't it about time you guys picked me up?
  7250.  
  7251. Gene: Boy, I never thought I'd see the day when I had to apologize to Aisha.
  7252.  
  7253. Jim: We could always just leave her out there.
  7254.  
  7255. Gene: Nah, then she'd come back and haunt me forever.
  7256.  
  7257. Aisha: Okay everyone, I'm tired of this, you can come and get me!
  7258.  
  7259. Melfina: Harry MacDougal... What was he...
  7260.  
  7261. Aisha: I'm over here! Do you see me? I'm over here!

  7272.  
  7273.  
  7274.  
  7275. // At Starwind and Hawking Enterprises...
  7276.  
  7277. // The phone rings.
  7278.  
  7279. Gene: Hello. This is Starwind and Hawking Enterprises. Can we help you? Yes sir. Yes, we'd handle
  7280. interplanetary transport, but your ship's payload is kinda small. Whats the cargo? Uh...
  7281. that would be a problem. I'm sorry. Yeah, please call again sir.
  7282.  
  7283. Jim: What did he say?
  7284.  
  7285. Gene: He asked if we could hawl some huge construction equipment in the Outlaw Star, but c'mon,
  7286. there's no way we can handle that.
  7287.  
  7288. Jim: Hmm... uh... there's gotta be something out there, some job for us to do. I posted some
  7289. really good ads on the net, but the responses aren't even worth mentioning.
  7290.  
  7291. Gene: Yeah, forget it, the only thing that those jobs are worth is chump change.
  7292.  
  7293. Jim: Gene, we have to get a job no matter how rotten it is. Our wallet is in bad shape, I don't
  7294. know if we can be so picky.
  7295.  
  7296. Gilliam: Space port parking fees are ridicoulously expensive.
  7297.  
  7298. Gene: I know, the parking is practically on the street and it still costs too much.
  7299.  
  7300. Gilliam: It can't be helped. In the big city like this, we were lucky to even find a spot.
  7301.  
  7302. Jim: Ah, thanks a lot Melfina.
  7303.  
  7304. Melfina: Don't mention it. You still haven't been able to find any work, Jim?
  7305.  
  7306. Jim: If Gene wasnt' so picky, we might have some.
  7307.  
  7308. Gene: C'mon, if you don't turn any profit, whats the point?
  7309.  
  7310. // The doorbell rings.
  7311.  
  7312. Gene: Hey, maybe its a customer! How can we help...
  7313.  
  7314. Aisha: How's business doing, everyone?
  7315.  
  7316. Gene: Oh... it's only you. Okay, I guess.
  7317.  
  7318. Jim: Yeah, we've got nothing. Hmph.
  7319.  
  7320. Aisha: (laughs) I knew that. But there's no problem, you don't have to worry about a thing. Thats
  7321. why you find me standing here, I came to offer you two a job.
  7322.  
  7323. Gene: Oh yeah? Well, what is it?
  7324.  
  7325. Aisha: Well, they tell me that in the downtown area by the Heiphong Spaceport there's a ferocias
  7326. animal that happens to be in the sewers. Rumor has it its a runaway pet or something.
  7327. Anyway, the job is to exterminateit as soon as possible.
  7328.  
  7329. // Nobody pays attention.
  7330.  
  7331. Aisha: Erh... What is wrong with you, did you hear anything I said?
  7332.  
  7333. Gene: I heard you. You expect us to go in the sewer.
  7334.  
  7335. Jim: This job smells fishy, Aisha.
  7336.  
  7337. Aisha: What do you mean? It was posted by the Heiphong Municipal Waterworks Department so its
  7338. legit.
  7339.  
  7340. Gene: Yeah, but how much does it pay?
  7341.  
  7342. Aisha: 500 wong.
  7343.  
  7344. Jim and Gene: Huh. Mmm Hmm. Erh.
  7345.  
  7346. // They throw her out.
  7347.  
  7348. Aisha: Ah! Whats the big idea? Fine, if thats the way you guys want it, I'll just do the job
  7349. myself and you'll by sorry. Eh. When people can't accept a little kindness gracefully, its
  7350. gonna be all over for humanity.
  7351.  
  7352. Gene: Can you believe it, give me a break, what was she thinking?
  7353.  
  7354. Jim: It sounds like a 500 wong job.
  7355.  
  7356. Gene: Hey Gilliam, what about you, have you heard of any good work?
  7357.  
  7358. Gilliam: I'm sorry Gene, but I haven't.
  7359.  
  7360. // They get a call on the computer.
  7361.  
  7362. Jim: Who's that? Hey look Gene, it could be a job offer.
  7363.  
  7364. Fred: Hi there Jim, hows business been going?
  7365.  
  7366. Jim: Oh hi Fred, How ya doing? Uh yeah, how are ya?
  7367.  
  7368. Gene: Uh...
  7369.  
  7370. Jim: If this is about the money we owe ya, we can't pay you back yet.
  7371.  
  7372. Fred: I figured that much so I thought I'd tell you about a job thats come up. Actually, a
  7373. business associate of mine has gotten into some odd trouble.
  7374.  
  7375. Jim: Uh... What kind?
  7376.  
  7377. Fred: Well, he brought some cargo over from the Sylgreen system. But when he arrived here on
  7378. Heiphong, the cargo had suddenly dissappeared and he asked me to you two to look into it.
  7379.  
  7380. Gene: Uh... Why doesn't he just let the cops handle it?
  7381.  
  7382. Fred: Thats totally out of the question. Its just shy of smuggling.
  7383.  
  7384. Gene: Like weapons?
  7385.  
  7386. Fred: Its a new species of insect.
  7387.  
  7388. Gene: Sorry Fred. This is not our kind of job.
  7389.  
  7390. Jim: Just hold on Gene. How much does the job pay Fred?
  7391.  
  7392. Fred: 700 wong up front, plus 2000 if the cargo is returned safely.
  7393.  
  7394. Jim: Let's take it, c'mon.
  7395.  
  7396. Gene: Another chump job like that, forget it. I'm not interested.
  7397.  
  7398. Jim: Fine, I'll take it, who do I see and where do I go?
  7399.  
  7400. Fred: Great, he's a Sylgreen. He'll be on deck 8 of the spaceport right by yours. I'll go ahead
  7401. and tell him you're coming.
  7402.  
  7403. Gene: Uh, I can't believe you're working for Fred.
  7404.  
  7405. Jim: Gene, we cannot afford to be picky.
  7406.  
  7407. Gene: Hey, a much bigger job will be coming soon, don't worry.
  7408.  
  7409. Melfina: Jim, do you want me to come along with you?
  7410.  
  7411. Jim: Sure Melfina, that'll be great.
  7412.  
  7413. Gene: What!? I gotta stick around here all by myself?
  7414.  
  7415. Gilliam: I'm still here Gene.
  7416.  
  7417. Gene: And what am I supposed to do with you huh?
  7418.  
  7419. Jim: That big job's coming right? Keep an eye out for it.
  7420.  
  7421. Gene: Hah! You see, you're gonna regret it.
  7422.  
  7423. Gilliam: See you later Jim.
  7424.  
  7425. // They leave. The phone rings.
  7426.  
  7427. Gene: Well, there you have it, that was quick.
  7428.  
  7429. Gene: Hello, Starwind and Hawking Enterprises.
  7430.  
  7431. Ice Cream Vender: You're ad says that you'll solve any problems, is that really true?
  7432.  
  7433. Gene: Thats true. So what exactly is it we can help you with?
  7434.  
  7435. Ice Cream Vender: Well there's something funny about the ice cream vender next door.
  7436.  
  7437. Gene: Uh what... did you say ice cream?
  7438.  
  7439. Ice Cream Vender: He's gotta be breaking some kind of law! How else could he be making such a
  7440. killing by a case like that? Thanks to him, my business is in the toilet. There's
  7441. something about ice cream thats not normal.
  7442.  
  7443. Gene: Erh...
  7444.  
  7445. // He hangs up.
  7446.  
  7447. Gilliam: You didn't even ask him what he would pay.
  7448.  
  7449. Gene: I'm not an investigator. Huh? Hmm.
  7450.  
  7451. // Gene gets on the phone.
  7452.  
  7453. Gene: Hello. Remember me? Yeah, its Gene.
  7454.  
  7455. Gilliam: Gene, did you think of a good job?
  7456.  
  7457. // Gene knocks Gilliam over.
  7458.  
  7459. Gilliam: Uh. What was that for?
  7460.  
  7461. Gene: Yeah. Thats right, I promised you I would, didn't I? So, listen I was wondering if we
  7462. could go out for dinner or something.
  7463.  
  7464. Gilliam: And to think I called that man indebted.
  7465.  
  7466. Sylgreen: Hmm... I really don't know what to make of this. It happened 5 days ago. I had a break
  7467. after I landed and I figured I'd get down to business when I noticed that the container
  7468. was empty, just like you see here. If something isn't done, I'm gonna take the bath on
  7469. this one.
  7470.  
  7471.  
  7472.  
  7473. Jim: C'mon, honestly, what cargo did you have?
  7474.  
  7475. Sylgreen: Alright, Fred recommended you two so I'll let you in on it confidentially speaking. It
  7476. was an extremely rare insect and plant.
  7477.  
  7478. Jim: Well, did you ever think the insect could have run away?
  7479.  
  7480. Sylgreen: By opening the container and the hatch on my ship? Hah, no thats simply impossible.
  7481. Even if that were the situation, what about the plant?
  7482.  
  7483. Jim: Maybe the bug got hungry and ate it.
  7484.  
  7485. Sylgreen: Also impossible. Its carnivorous. They were stolen! My crew and I have looked everywhere.
  7486. But as you can see, there's no sign of them. None!
  7487.  
  7488. Melfina: Is it true that the police can't be of any help?
  7489.  
  7490. Sylgreen: We can't go to the police, because we didn't apply for import entry for either the
  7491. insect or the plant. Now you don't need to worry about a thing, they don't carry any
  7492. harmful viruses or diseases you can catch, we've checked all that out right here on our
  7493. own. You do understand, its such a bother to go through all that red tape.
  7494.  
  7495. Jim: Uh... I guess so.
  7496.  
  7497. Sylgreen: Come to think of it... now that I look back on the situation, I can't imagine for the
  7498. life of me why I took such a giant risk.
  7499.  
  7500. Jim: So what kind of bug and plant are they anyway?
  7501.  
  7502. Sylgreen: I'll get the catalog I put together for the sale. The plant looks and feels like one
  7503. of those cactusy things that grows in the world where y'all are from.
  7504.  
  7505. Jim: I guess he means a regular ol cactus.
  7506.  
  7507. // In the mine...
  7508.  
  7509. Superviser: My workers said they saw it right in here, thats what they said. The reports that I
  7510. heard claim that it was some big meat eating animal, but thats a little hard to believe.
  7511.  
  7512. Aisha: You don't have to worry anymore, Aisha's here to handle it.
  7513.  
  7514. Superviser: Yeah, there is no doubt about it, we were definately fortunate to get a Ctarl Ctarl
  7515. to handle this matter. Well, I'm gonna leave you now so you can do your work. Bye.
  7516.  
  7517. Aisha: You can count on me! Alright monster, Aisha's coming, you better stay put and be a good
  7518. boy now. (laughs)
  7519.  
  7520. // Jim and Melfina arrive home.
  7521.  
  7522. Jim: We're back. Hey Gene... Its you.
  7523.  
  7524. Suzuka: Welcome back. Hello there Jim.
  7525.  
  7526. Jim: You the only one here? Where's Gene?
  7527.  
  7528. Suzuka: I have no idea, he was already gone when I arrived.
  7529.  
  7530. Jim: Hmm. I wonder. Maybe there was a big job that came in. So why are you here Suzuka?
  7531.  
  7532. Suzuka: No particular reason, I just decided I would come by to see how business is coming along.
  7533.  
  7534. Jim: Eh... we're coming along I guess. Well Melfina, I was just thinking I should do a little
  7535. digging in the pet market over there.
  7536.  
  7537. Melfina: Thats a good idea Jim. Should I check the space port security section and see if anything
  7538. unusual happened 5 days ago?
  7539.  
  7540. Jim: Yeah, that'd be great.
  7541.  
  7542. Suzuka: You seem to be rather busy. So I'll be leaving now.
  7543.  
  7544. Jim: Oh, okay, see you later.
  7545.  
  7546. Suzuka: Please give Gene my regards, won't you?
  7547.  
  7548. // Meanwhile, on the streets of Heiphong...
  7549.  
  7550. Gene: Ah... Hey! Hi!
  7551.  
  7552. Claire: Hi, I'm sorry, have you been waiting long?
  7553.  
  7554. Gene: No, no problem, I just got here. So how you doing? Do you have any free time now?
  7555.  
  7556. Claire: Well now that tha race is over, thats all I have. I still think thats amazing. A privateer
  7557. making 4th place in his first race.
  7558.  
  7559. Gene: If we hadn't run into trouble we would have been first, but lets not talk about that now.
  7560. Why don't we go get some tea or something?
  7561.  
  7562. Claire: Sure.
  7563.  
  7564. Gene: To tell the truth, I still don't know Heiphong city very well. So what about you, do you
  7565. know of any good places around here?
  7566.  
  7567. Claire: Yeah, Lets keep walking and I'll show you all around.
  7568.  
  7569. Gene: Sounds great.
  7570.  
  7571. Claire: So, what are you up to now?
  7572.  
  7573. Gene: Well, we started our business again. Starwind and Hawking Enterprises. We sell solutions to
  7574. any kind of problem.
  7575.  
  7576. Clarie: How's business going?
  7577.  
  7578. Gene: Okay.
  7579.  
  7580. Claire: Thats right, how could I forget, you finished 4th in the Heiphong Space Race, of course
  7581. you're doing well.
  7582.  
  7583. Gene: Yeah right.
  7584.  
  7585. Claire: Are you sure you can take time away to meet me?
  7586.  
  7587. Gene: My seeing you is much more important than work. Huh?
  7588.  
  7589. Claire: I just got this great idea, lets get some ice cream.
  7590.  
  7591. Gene: Uh... ice cream?
  7592.  
  7593. Claire: C'mon, right over there. I feel like having some all of a sudden. Isn't this funny. It
  7594. never used to be this popular, maybe they changed their recipe.
  7595.  
  7596. Gene: It sounds great. For some reason, I feel like having some too.
  7597.  
  7598. Claire: Oh good, I'll go buy you some then.
  7599.  
  7600. Gene: Hey, let me get that.
  7601.  
  7602. Claire: Fourth place winner. It's my treat.
  7603.  
  7604. Gene: Uh... Hmm... What the...
  7605.  
  7606. // He notices the ice cream vender who called him before, at a neighboring empty stand.
  7607.  
  7608. Ice Cream Vender: Well there's something funny about the ice cream vender next door.
  7609.  
  7610. Claire: Sorry, it took so long.
  7611.  
  7612. Gene: Oh. Hey, thanks a lot. Hm. This ice cream seems pretty average.
  7613.  
  7614. Claire: Yeah, I agree.
  7615.  
  7616. Claire and Gene: Hmm.
  7617.  
  7618. // A cactus is behind the ice cream counter.
  7619.

  7622. Eyecatch
  7623.  
  7624. ----------------
  7625.  
  7626. // Jim and Melfina are at a space port.
  7627.  
  7628. Jim: Here?
  7629.  
  7630. Melfina: Thats right. 5 days ago the fence around here was completely bent, but now it looks like
  7631. they've already fixed it.
  7632.  
  7633. Jim: And the security systems?
  7634.  
  7635. Melfina: They're equipped with both infa red detectors and metal detectors. But it appears as
  7636. though nothing has set them off.
  7637.  
  7638. Jim: Yeah, I guess they could be set off by a measly old insect.
  7639.  
  7640. Melfina: So maybe it didn't run away.
  7641.  
  7642. Jim: Maybe. If its a whole meter long, maybe a bug that size would have a brain. And if thats
  7643. true, what are those?
  7644.  
  7645. Melfina: They say they're the waste water drains for the space port, they're supposed to be
  7646. connected to the sewer.
  7647.  
  7648. Jim: To the sewer? Wait a minute. Wasn't it Aisha who mentioned something about a sewer?
  7649.  
  7650. // Meanwhile, Aisha's in the sewers.
  7651.  
  7652.  
  7653.  
  7654. Aisha: I'm on my way, I'm on my way to get the monster! I'm on my way, to get the monster, to
  7655. get the monster.
  7656.  
  7657. // She walks into some kind of spider web.
  7658.  
  7659. Aisha: Ah! Hey, whats going on here? Whats the big idea? Uh.. Uh... Uh... What the heck is this
  7660. stuff? Nah nah nah nah nah yah...
  7661.  
  7662. // Meanwhile, Jim's on the phone.
  7663.  
  7664. Jim: Thats right. The job you have, to get the animal in the sewers.
  7665.  
  7666. Supervisor: Oh sure, I've already put someone on that job.
  7667.  
  7668. Jim: Tell me, was it a female Ctarl Ctarl?
  7669.  
  7670. Supervisor: Oh, you know her?
  7671.  
  7672. Jim: Listen, its really important I need you to tell me where she's looking and how its connected
  7673. to the sewer lines from the space port.
  7674.  
  7675. // Meanwhile, back with Gene...
  7676.  
  7677. Gene: Man, thats seems strange. I wonder why that ice cream man is selling so much more ice cream
  7678. than the other guy when his ice cream doesn't even taste that good.
  7679.  
  7680. Claire: You do have a point.
  7681.  
  7682. Gene: Oh well. Who cares, lets forget about it. Its not like ice cream is the only thing Heiphong
  7683. is famous for.
  7684.  
  7685. Claire: Sure, there are plenty of other things to do here. You haven't done anything yet?
  7686.  
  7687. Gene: Not yet. We entered the race right after we got there.
  7688.  
  7689. Claire: Where did you live before that?
  7690.  
  7691. Gene: Sentinel, in the middle of nowhere. Huh?
  7692.  
  7693. // Jim calls him.
  7694.  
  7695. Jim: Gene! Gene!
  7696.  
  7697. Gene: Sorry, could you excuse me. Yeah, what do you want, could it wait?
  7698.  
  7699. Jim: No, if we don't stop Aisha, you can kiss that 2000 wong goodbye.
  7700.  
  7701. Gene: What the heck are you talking about?
  7702.  
  7703. Jim: The ferocious animal he was talking about that she went to get in the sewers is the Sylgreen's
  7704. bug. Aisha's gonna rip it to pieces, I just know it.
  7705.  
  7706. Gene: I don't understand a single word you're saying.
  7707.  
  7708. // Meanwhile, Aisha growls at the bug.
  7709.  
  7710. Aisha: Errh...
  7711.  
  7712. Jim: I don't know what happened to the cactus plant, but I know one thing, we have to capture
  7713. that bug before Aisha does.
  7714.  
  7715. Gene: Cactus plant?
  7716.  
  7717. // Aisha roars again. Back to Gene.
  7718.  
  7719. Gene: Cactus plant? The cactus plant.
  7720.  
  7721. Jim: Gene, do youread me? Hey Gene!
  7722.  
  7723. // The cactus emits a weird noise, freaking out everyone.
  7724.  
  7725. All: Ah!
  7726.  
  7727. // The bug comes out and Aisha attacks. Above...
  7728.  
  7729. All: Ah!
  7730.  
  7731. // Aisha and the bug go flying out of the sewer.
  7732.  
  7733. Aisha: Rrrr....
  7734.  
  7735. Gene: What the heck is that thing? Careful Claire, stand back.
  7736.  
  7737. Claire: Okay.
  7738.  
  7739. Aisha: Ah... Yah! Huh?
  7740.  
  7741. // Gene shoots at the bug, almost hitting Aisha.
  7742.  
  7743. Gene: Uh?
  7744.  
  7745. Aisha: Gene? Whats the big idea?
  7746.  
  7747. Gene: Oh. Hey, sorry. Whats that she's riding on? Ah! Its coming back!
  7748.  
  7749. // He shoots but the cactus's signals cause him to hit a sign, which bounces off and almost gets
  7750. Aisha.
  7751.  
  7752. Gene: What is that?
  7753.  
  7754. Aisha: Gene, what the heck are you trying to do you bird brain? Are you trying to kill me?
  7755.  
  7756. Gene: Heh no, of course not Aisha. You know, you're really beginning to bug me. You want some
  7757. more of me? Okay, you flea bag, try a little of this.
  7758.  
  7759. Jim: Gene! Don't!
  7760.  
  7761. Gene: Huh? Jim?
  7762.  
  7763. Jim: If we can catch the thing its worth 2000 wong.
  7764.  
  7765. Aisha: Its 500 for me if I stop it!
  7766.  
  7767. Jim: You gotta catch it before she does!
  7768.  
  7769. Aisha: I'm gonna stop it.
  7770.  
  7771. Jim: 2000 wong!
  7772.  
  7773. Aisha: I don't care, I'm gonna get it!
  7774.  
  7775. Gene: Guys, stop it already, what the heck are you two talking about?
  7776.  
  7777. Melfina: I've been sensing some high strange frequencey waves for sometime now. Like that one.
  7778.  
  7779. Gene: High Frequency?
  7780.  
  7781. Jim: Thats it!
  7782.  
  7783. All: Ahhhhhhh!!!!!!
  7784.  
  7785. // Jim goes over and gets the cactus.
  7786.  
  7787. Gene: Jim, where you going?
  7788.  
  7789. Jim: I don't know.
  7790.  
  7791. Gene: That cactus is doing this! Ah!
  7792.  
  7793. // He starts shooting his gun.
  7794.  
  7795. Aisha: What do you think you're doing?
  7796.  
  7797. Gene: I have no idea!
  7798.  
  7799. Jim: Now you're beginning to realize my true nature, not bad for a lower creature. I guess I'd
  7800. have to complement you.
  7801.  
  7802. Gene: What is the deal? Why are you talking so weird?
  7803.  
  7804. Jim: I'm telling you guys, its not me, my mouth is moving by itself.
  7805.  
  7806. Gene and Melfina: Huh?
  7807.  
  7808. Gene: Alriht, what in the heck are ya?
  7809.  
  7810. Jim: Hah! You may call me great one. I am a higher life form capable of ruling the entire
  7811. universe. No matter what you do, you have absolutely no means of escaping my control. I
  7812. suggest you surrender .
  7813.  
  7814. Gene: You cactus mutant, you were behind all of this! So what exactly is it that you plan to do?
  7815. Why are you selling ice cream, ruler of the universe?
  7816.  
  7817. Jim: Thats simple, for observation and experimentation to see precisely how effective my control
  7818. is over you. And now my observation and experimentation is complete.
  7819.  
  7820. Jim: Ah! Gene!
  7821.  
  7822. Gene: Hey wait Jim! Gr...
  7823.  
  7824. // The bug goes back in the sewer. Jim walks over there.
  7825.  
  7826. Jim: My plant will now precede to stage 2.
  7827.  
  7828. Jim: No way, help Gene!
  7829.  
  7830. Gene: I'm trying darn it! Melfina?
  7831.  
  7832. // She walks up to him.
  7833.  
  7834. Jim: Halt I say, you lower animal. Halt I said! Halt where you are! Halt! Halt! Why curse you,
  7835. why doesn't my power work on you?
  7836.  
  7837. Melfina: Stop doing horrible things to him!
  7838.  
  7839. // She knocks the cactus over.
  7840.  
  7841. Jim: Ah!
  7842.  
  7843. Jim: What have you done, hurry pick me up!
  7844.  
  7845. Aisha: Ah, ah.
  7846.  
  7847. Melfina: What should I do now?
  7848.  
  7849. Gene: Squash that thing.
  7850.  
  7851. Melfina: Uh... you really wnat me to squash it?
  7852.  
  7853. Jim: No, don't do it. If you squash it, we're gonna lose tons and tons of money.
  7854.  
  7855. Melfina: Oh.
  7856.  
  7857. Gene: Do it Melfina. Ignore whats he's saying, the cactus still has some control over him.
  7858.  
  7859. Melfina: Oh yeah, right. I'm sorry Jim. I have to.
  7860.  
  7861. Jim: C'mon, I'm begging you, don't do it!
  7862.  
  7863. Jim: Stop it darn it, stop! I command you to stop!
  7864.  
  7865. // She starts stepping on the cactus. It starts talking itself.
  7866.  
  7867. Great One: No! I told you to stop! I belong to a higher species! What are you doing to me?! Stop!
  7868. Stop it, stop it I tell you! How dare you, how dare you! You stupid animal! Stop, stop
  7869. it! I shouldn't have to think! I insist you stop, please stop... stop it... Now I beg
  7870. you please... stop. Ah... please...
  7871.  
  7872. Jim: Oop. Its all mashed up.
  7873.  
  7874. Gene: It sure is. Now you're not gonna make me eat anymore of that crappy ice cream, are you?
  7875.  
  7876. Jim: Why would you eat crappy ice cream?
  7877.  
  7878. Aisha: Oh no, now what, I'm gonna go get that monster! I won't let the cops have all the glory!
  7879.  
  7880. Gene: Oh great, what a mess. That Sylgreen is gonna take a fall and now we're not gonna see any
  7881. money out of it.
  7882.  
  7883. Jim: Yeah, I guess.
  7884.  
  7885. Gene: Well anyway, I'm amazed you could stand up to that thing's control the way you did, Melfina.
  7886.  
  7887. Melfina: Don't you remember Gene, I'm not like normal people. Um. Huh?
  7888.  
  7889. Gene: I know you're not and thats exactly what saved Jim.
  7890.  
  7891. Jim: Yeah, he's right about that. Thanks a lot Melfina.
  7892.  
  7893. Melfina: Sure.
  7894.  
  7895. // Back at their place...
  7896.  
  7897. Jim: Looks like that Sylgreen was under the great one's control when he brought it here. They say
  7898. it was a capsule that the Space Force found in deep space, and they have no knowledge of
  7899. there being any others.
  7900.  
  7901. Gilliam: I see.
  7902.  
  7903. Jim: After all we did, all we have to show for it is a lousy 700 wong deposit? What about you?
  7904.  
  7905. Gene: Hm? Who, me?
  7906.  
  7907. Jim: Yeah, you were there on the job too, weren't you?
  7908.  
  7909. Gene: Uh... yeah, but you know what happened, all that ruckus blew the whole thing out the window.
  7910. Uh... if only... aw man. If it wasn't for that lousy ice cream and that stupid plant, it
  7911. would have been a perfect date!
  7912.  
  7913. Gilliam: Oh really, you don't say?
  7914.  
  7915. Gene: Would you just shut that can of yours and mind your own business for once?
  7916.  
  7917. Suzuka: Good day.
  7918.  
  7919. Gene and Jim: How can we help you? Oh.
  7920.  
  7921. Gene: Oh, its you.
  7922.  
  7923. Suzuka: I was just wondering how business is doing.
  7924.  
  7925. Gene: Not bad.
  7926.  
  7927. Jim: Its not doing at all. Hmph.
  7928.  
  7929. Suzuka: I thought that might be the case, thats why I decided to come by and tell you about a job.
  7930.  
  7931. Jim: What job?
  7932.  
  7933. Suzuka: There's a theme park in the suburbs outside of Heiphong city and they're looking for

  7948. Narrator: A thief once opined: A thief might steal, but that does not make him inhuman. Those
  7949. outlaws who are adrift and roaming the universe say, You may not have the urge to break
  7950. the law, but you are still bound to ignore it. The blind and self serving vanity of the
  7951. thief. The archaic and old fashioned code of the pirate. The vain, glorious and
  7952. narcistic pride of the outlaw. These may merely be white lies to delude themselves to
  7953. others that they may to some extent, be considered upright people. Whether fact or
  7954. fiction, the outlaws live by and follow a code they take pride in. On the other hand,
  7955. ruffians who live outside the law and follow no code at all cause some of the greatest
  7956. calamities.

  7984. Dock Guy 3: Number 382, hurry up with these preperations.
  7985.  
  7986. Gene: Ah... This is killing me. I can't believe that I'm stuck up here sitting around with this
  7987. loser space tug boat job.
  7988.  
  7989. Gilliam: I agree. This is no job for the galaxy's most advanced Grappler ship.
  7990.  
  7991. // Aisha comes in on the screen.
  7992.  
  7993. Aisha: Will you quit your whining! You just got a request to do a catch and release on an ad
  7994. ship. It's heading your way on course AC3, you're to haul it back to the space port now!
  7995. I mean you humans are always complaining about not having work, so now's your time to work
  7996. for your damn...
  7997.  
  7998. Gene: C'mon Jim, will you close the channel already?
  7999.  
  8000. // He does.
  8001.  
  8002. Jim: You know what, if we help out with the station job, they'll give us discount parking planet
  8003. side. Now you can't beat that.
  8004.  
  8005. Gilliam: Still, I don't understand how they could use the first place privateer of the space
  8006. race as a tug boat.
  8007.  
  8008. Melfina: Speaking of which, it looks like the race has been good advertising.
  8009.  
  8010. Gene: Well its making us a laughing stock. Darn it! Why is this area so crowded? Where is
  8011. everybody going?
  8012.  
  8013. Jim: I hear there was a big time jewelry store on the station that was celebrating some kind of
  8014. renovation. Huh? Hey, thats it, thats the ad ship Aisha mentioned.
  8015.  
  8016. // They arrive at the ship.
  8017.  
  8018. Gene: Erh... Melfina, dispaly the rondevue course.
  8019.  
  8020. Melfina: Sure. It's huge.
  8021.  
  8022. Gene: Yeah, its too big. Sure, it'll get your attention, but it can't make sharp turns so getting
  8023. it into port is a big hassle.
  8024.  
  8025. Jim: Like thats the reason why they need a tug boat. Now quit your yapping and lets get to work.
  8026.  
  8027. Melfina: Now matching relative velocity.
  8028.  
  8029. // They anchor on to the ship.
  8030.  
  8031. Jim: Okay, locking complete.
  8032.  
  8033. Gene: Alright, now begin decelleration and put us on a docking course.
  8034.  
  8035. // The ship's screens switch to 'gotcha' and anchors shoot the Outlaw Star.
  8036.  
  8037. Gene: Whats that? What do they mean by gotcha?
  8038.  
  8039. Gilliam: Virus penetration in progress. Virus penetration in progress. Unable to purge, system
  8040. shutting down.
  8041.  
  8042. // Gilliam shuts off, Melfina comes out of her tube
  8043.  
  8044. Melfina: Uh...
  8045.  
  8046. Jim: The virus seeped into the system right when those anchors locked on. Now Gilliam's completely shut down.
  8047.  
  8048. // A message comes through.
  8049.  
  8050. Message: Congradulations. You're a lucky winner. You've been selected to go on a tour of heaven.
  8051.  
  8052. Gene: What the heck? Uh. Aisha... We're busy now, call us later.
  8053.  
  8054. Crackerjack: Later doesn't exist for people who only have 5 hours left to live.
  8055.  
  8056.  
  8057.  
  8058. Gene: What?! What the heck are ya?
  8059.  
  8060. Crackerjack: Well now, lets see... You can call me Crackerjack for the time being.
  8061.  
  8062. Gene: For the time being?
  8063.  
  8064. Crackerjack: I suggest you remain calm. My name is the least of your problems at this moment. The
  8065. ad ship you're currently connected to happens to be loaded with a high yield bomb.
  8066.  
  8067. Jim: Uh... a bomb?
  8068.  
  8069. Crackerjack: If our demands aren't met, the ship has been set with an automatic detonator which
  8070. will blow itself up along with your ship. You only have 5 hours.
  8071.  
  8072. Jim: Thats ridicoulous.
  8073.  
  8074.  
  8075.  
  8076. Gene: So what are these demands of yours anyway?
  8077.  
  8078. Crackerjack: Feast your eyes and listen.
  8079.  
  8080. Crackerjack: I repeat. We, the People's Liberation Front demand the immediate removal of the
  8081. viceroy of Heiphong and any of his personal aides. He is nothing but a puppet of
  8082. the Tenpai Empire. We expect total independence granted to Heiphong.
  8083.  
  8084. Gene: Independence...?
  8085.  
  8086. Jim: No way.
  8087.  
  8088. Crackerjack: ... end to colonial rule!
  8089.  
  8090. Crackerjack: You heard them. If our commands are met unconditionally, you will be set free. Oh
  8091. right, I almost forgot. The bomb's extremely delicate. If you try and dismantle
  8092. it, it is programmed to detonate immediately. Please don't think of trying anything foolish. Do enjoy yourselves gentlemen.
  8093.  
  8094. // The ad ship starts heading towards Heiphong.
  8095.  
  8096. Gene: Oh c'mon, now what...
  8097.  
  8098. Jim: Its gonna blow
  8099.  
  8100. Gene: Darn it, he's changed our orbit. Mel, calculate our orbit.
  8101.  
  8102. Melfina: Right.
  8103.  
  8104. Gene: Okay, and Jim you put together a damage report.
  8105.  
  8106. Jim: I'm on it.
  8107.  
  8108. // On Heiphong...
  8109.  
  8110. Reporter: The rage of the terrorist group, the People's Liberation Front, known to be highly
  8111. aggressive has currently hijacked a tug boat near the station and implores Heiphong be
  8112. granted its independence. We can only imagine how the Viceroy will respond to such
  8113. unheard of demands.
  8114.  
  8115. Viceroy: Heiphong will never be independent. And we must never give in to terrorists, not while
  8116. we're out here on the fronteir.
  8117.  
  8118. // At Starwind and Hawking Enterprises...
  8119.  
  8120. Reporter: We now have confirmation on the registration of that captive tugboat.
  8121.  
  8122. Aisha: Okay... so who are the morons?
  8123.  
  8124. Reporter: It has been determined that the ship is the Outlaw Star. Her hostages are her captain
  8125. Gene Starwind...
  8126.  
  8127. Aisha: Not Gene?!
  8128.  
  8129. // Back on the ship...
  8130.  
  8131. Jim: I've purged the virus, but the memory is pretty trashed so Gilliam is still offline. The
  8132. oxygen circulation is still working somehow, but the temperature regulator is shot. Weapons
  8133. and Navigation is pretty much gone of course. Attitude control is about all we can do at this point. And the air locks won't open either.
  8134.  
  8135. Gene: So then we couldn't abandon ship as a last resort even if we wanted to. Well, is there
  8136. anything that does work?
  8137.  
  8138. Jim: From what I see, the only things working are the grappler arms, it looks like their system
  8139. is linked directly to the cockpit.
  8140.  
  8141. Gene: Ugh.
  8142.  
  8143. Melfina: I've calculated our orbit. I'll put it on the screen. We're circling above
  8144. Heiphong 3's equator and loosing altitude.
  8145.  
  8146. Jim: Blast, tht means even if the bomb doesn't go off in the 5 hours that they programmed it for.
  8147.  
  8148. Gene: We'll carry the bomb right into the station when we hit it, won't we?
  8149.  
  8150. // People start evacuating.
  8151.  
  8152. Announcer: An evacuation order has been issued for the station. Will everyone remain calm and
  8153. evacuate the station.
  8154.  
  8155. Lady: Wait, my jewels.
  8156.  
  8157. Bank Guy: Getting out of here is much more important m'am, they're insured, you don't have to
  8158. worry.
  8159.  
  8160. Lady: Oh my...
  8161.  
  8162. Guy: Gorgeous Misturu lifting off.
  8163.  
  8164. Guy 2: Get around to dish 28.
  8165.  
  8166. // Meanwhile, in his hiding place...
  8167.  
  8168. Crackerjack: Exactly according to plan.
  8169.  
  8170. // He heads outside his room and gathers his pals.
  8171.  
  8172. Crackerjack: (laughs) Commence operation!
  8173.  
  8174. // Back to Aisha...
  8175.  
  8176. Reporter: Spaceships are fleeing the station one after another. Calculations show...
  8177.  
  8178. Aisha: Gene, whats happening up there, tell me!
  8179.  
  8180. Gene: Shut up Aisha! Jim, end transmission.
  8181.  
  8182. Aisha: Will you stop telling me to shut up!
  8183.  
  8184. Suzuka: Don't you know that yelling at him won't solve anything?
  8185.  
  8186. Aisha: So what do you suggest I do?
  8187.  
  8188. Suzuka: Its very simple, I'll go ask the man who built the bomb how to stop it.
  8189.  
  8190. Aisha: Huh?
  8191.  
  8192. Suzuka: Asking the man behind it is the most certain way.
  8193.  
  8194. Aisha: Huh? Hey wait, but I don't understand how you're gonna do that.
  8195.  
  8196. // Meanwhile...
  8197.  
  8198. Aide: I've got bad news Viceroy.
  8199.  
  8200. Viceroy: What is it?
  8201.  
  8202. Aide: The simulation of the bomb hitting the station predicts that the orbital elevator will
  8203. crash into the ground!
  8204.  
  8205. Viceroy: What?!
  8206.  
  8207. Aide 2: Viceroy, we must not endanger the planet.
  8208.  
  8209. Viceroy: We have no choice, we'll have to blow it up with the hostages before it comes near the
  8210. station.
  8211.  
  8212. Aide: But sir, thats what I, uh... Viceroy, I must tell you according to the terrorists, the ship
  8213. is loaded with large quantities of radioactive materials.
  8214.  
  8215. Viceroy: Erh. Can't we do anything about it?
  8216.  
  8217. // On Outlaw Star...
  8218.  
  8219. Jim: Gene, are you really gonna do this?
  8220.  
  8221. Gene: Do you have any other ideas? Huh?
  8222.  
  8223. Jim: No, but its crazy to disarm a bomb with an amateur like you.
  8224.  
  8225. Gene: Show some backbone. Mel, I need you to handle the scanning.
  8226.  
  8227. Melfina: Right. Now beginning infa red scan.
  8228.  
  8229. // Crackerjack and his pals head to the station. The Grappler arms come out on Outlaw Star.
  8230.  
  8231. Gene: All we have to do is cut the power connected to the fuse. Its really no different than
  8232. cutting the cord to an ordinary spark plug, right?
  8233.  
  8234. Jim: Yeah, but an engine doesn't explode when you happen to cut the wrong cord to a spark plug.
  8235.  
  8236. Melfina: The infa red scan is now complete. I'll put it up on the screen.
  8237.  
  8238. Gene: What?! There's nothing there, its mostly hollow.
  8239.  
  8240. Jim: Because its camouflaged. Thats how they got it to pass inspection before it started the
  8241. port entry course.
  8242.  
  8243. Gene: So we have no idea of telling whats inside unless we open this thing.
  8244.  
  8245. // Elsewhere...
  8246.  
  8247. Suzuka: What about the owner registration on the ad ship? Surely you have that.
  8248.  
  8249. Guy: But we can only give that information to the police.
  8250.  
  8251. Aisha: Quit stalling and tell us everything we wanna know.
  8252.  
  8253. // On Outlaw Star...
  8254.  
  8255. Gene: We have gotta take a look inside. We just gotta take that chance.
  8256.  
  8257. Jim: Don't do it, Gene.
  8258.  
  8259. Melfina: Its too dangerous.
  8260.  
  8261. Gene: Is that it? Lets do it.
  8262.  
  8263. Jim: Na ma ga Na ma ga Na ma ga Na ma ga Na ma ga Na ma ga Na ma ga Na ma ga
  8264.  
  8265. Gene: Huh? What the?
  8266.  
  8267. // They open the hatch and a bomb goes off.
  8268.  
  8269. Aisha and Suzuka: Huh?
  8270.  
  8271. Suzuka: Gene?
  8272.  
  8273. -----------
  8274.  
  8275. Eyecatch
  8276.  
  8277. -----------
  8278.  
  8279. Melfina: I'm getting no response from the tip of the right grappler arm. Other than that, there
  8280. doesn't seem to be any serious damage.
  8281.  
  8282. Gene: Ah man, that scared the heck outta me.
  8283.  
  8284. Jim: Exactly, so lets forget the whole thing, huh?
  8285.  
  8286. // A sound goes off.
  8287.  
  8288. Gene: Jim quick, trace the signal. This is the Outlaw Star.
  8289.  
  8290. Crackerjack: Didn't I tell you not to try anything stupid?
  8291.  
  8292. Gene: Shut up! That was supposed to be some stupid bluff. I thought the whole thing was supposed
  8293. to blow us away.
  8294.  
  8295. Crackerjack: Now now, that isn't very smart, is it? We'd lose everything if an idiot like you set it off before the Viceregal could give into our demands. If you try anything else
  8296. again, you won't get off with just a warning.
  8297.  
  8298. Gene: I realize you're very proud of this bomb, but I'm still gonna have to try and destroy it.
  8299.  
  8300. Melfina: You know, you shouldn't aggrivate terrorists.
  8301.  
  8302. Crackerjack: (laughs) Thats a good one, you blunder into the most rudementary of traps and you
  8303. think you're capable of dismantling a bomb I personally made? Don't even try to
  8304. outsmart me, you little tugboat pilot.
  8305.  
  8306. Gene: Well look who's talking, you're nothing but a useless mad bomber.
  8307.  
  8308. Crackerjack: If you insist now I dare you. Give it your best shot, tugboat.
  8309.  
  8310. Gene: That jerk likes to hear himself talk. Did you get a trace on him?
  8311.  
  8312. Jim: Its hopeless. Normal radio waves don't have directivity. But wait, there was no lag time
  8313. so he's probably at least within 30000 kilometers or so.
  8314.  
  8315. Gene: 30000 huh?
  8316.  
  8317. Melfina: I'm not getting a signal from any spaceships within that radius. Looks like they've
  8318. evacuated.
  8319.  
  8320. Gene: Are they on the surface?
  8321.  
  8322. Jim: Are you nuts, you think they'd hang around on the surface when the orbital elevator might
  8323. come crashing down?
  8324.  
  8325. Melfina: Where do you think they've all gone then?
  8326.  
  8327. Gene: Jim, what do you think, can we send out a jamming signal?
  8328.  
  8329. Jim: A jamming signal? Uh, well the comm system is working so I guess I can come up with something.
  8330.  
  8331. Crackerjack: Huh? Oh, heh. Looks like tugboat has a brain after all.
  8332.  
  8333. // Outlaw Star taps on parts of the ad ship.
  8334.  
  8335. Melfina: There's a pitch change over here. This is the only section where the sound is different.
  8336.  
  8337. Gene: Great, thats it Mel. Jim, can I use the torch gun?
  8338.  
  8339. Jim: No, its hooked up to the power system. The buzz saw has internal batteries though you can
  8340. use that.
  8341.  
  8342. Jim: Aru kan busanba Aru kan busanba Aru kan busanba.
  8343.  
  8344. Gene: Bingo, thats it.
  8345.  
  8346. Jim: Forget it, this is the real thing.
  8347.  
  8348. Gene: Here goes...
  8349.  
  8350. // They find a bomb inside.
  8351.  
  8352. Gene: Wise guy why'd you have to do that?
  8353.  
  8354. Melfina: That small tube like object appears to be a detonator. I can't determine whether the
  8355. explosives are directly inside or not.
  8356.  
  8357. Jim: You see those 2 wires over there? One of them carries the signal to the detonator.
  8358.  
  8359. Melfina: Then what do you suppose the other one's for.
  8360.  
  8361. Gene: Hey, don't worry about it. I grew up watching tons of movies with bombs in them. The
  8362. instant the dummy wire is cut, it sets off a relay thats a signal to the real one. And
  8363. then boom.
  8364.  
  8365. Jim: So what are you thinking of?
  8366.  
  8367. Gene: Well, there's only one thing for me to do Jim.
  8368.  
  8369. // The Grappler Arm takes the cutters out.
  8370.  
  8371. Jim: Gene, are you sure you want to go through with this thing?
  8372.  
  8373. Gene: Calm down. All I gotta do is just cut one of em, right?
  8374.  
  8375. Jim: If you cut the dummy wire, it'll blow us to pieces!
  8376.  
  8377. Melfina: So that means that we only stand a fifty fifty chance.
  8378.  
  8379. Gene: Hey, trust me. You'd never guess it, but gambling's my specialty.
  8380.  
  8381. Jim: Help me!
  8382.  
  8383. Gene: The red, or the blue. With this much explosives, if I screw up we're all gonna be dead
  8384. anyway. Huh?
  8385.  
  8386. Jim: (laughs)
  8387.  
  8388. Gene: I can't believe it at a time like this you're laughing. C'mon Jim, you're better than that.
  8389.  
  8390. Jim: Yeah, but when I'm really scared these things seem funny. And I can't seem to explain it.
  8391. I just know that I can't stop laughing. I know its crazy, huh?
  8392.  
  8393. Melfina: It'll be okay, I know everything will work out.
  8394.  
  8395. Jim: Well thanks Mel.
  8396.  
  8397. Gene: So, what do you say we trust our luck now. Lets do it.
  8398.  
  8399. // The message signal goes off.
  8400.  
  8401. Gene: Huh? What is it? Didn't you send out a jamming signal?
  8402.  
  8403. Jim: Its a directional laser transmission. And its coming from the station.
  8404.  
  8405. Gene: The station? What do yo umean, someone still there?
  8406.  
  8407. Aisha: What do you think you're doing?
  8408.  
  8409. Gene: Aisha?
  8410.  
  8411. Aisha: Its been hard to reach you, we couldn't get you on the radio.
  8412.  
  8413. Gene: What the heck are you doing on the station?
  8414.  
  8415. Aisha: I tracked the scent of the terrorists and it seems to have led me here.
  8416.  
  8417. Gene: The scent?
  8418.  
  8419. Suzuka: Thats not true. We tried to track down information on the ship's owner, but it was a
  8420. dummy so we found ourselves in a corner.
  8421.  
  8422. Aisha: So we asked Fred Lowe and he gave us the information.
  8423.  
  8424. Gene: Fred huh? I bet that really cost ya.
  8425.  
  8426. Suzuka: Not at all. Actually, he was most cooperative when I told you it was to help you.
  8427.  
  8428. Aisha: He even lent us a shuttle for free to get up here.
  8429.  
  8430. Gene: So, what information did you get?
  8431.  
  8432. Aisha: Well you see, according to Lowe, the ad ship registration is actually a fake that was
  8433. sold by pirates on the black market.
  8434.  
  8435. Gene: Pirates?
  8436.  
  8437. Aisha: Yeah.
  8438.  
  8439. Suzuka: So, after that we had Lowe check and see who the pirates previously sold it to.
  8440.  
  8441. Gene: Will yah just get on to the point? Who the heck he sell it to?
  8442.  
  8443. Suzuka: The buyer was a lead man of a notorious group of robbers.
  8444.  
  8445. // On Heiphong...
  8446.  
  8447. Viceregal: I can't sacrifice the lives of everyone on Heiphong 3. The Viceregal of Heiphong
  8448. agrees to your demands. We recognize Heiphong's independence.
  8449.  
  8450. Crackerjack: Perhaps you misunderstood me, what we're looking for here and demand is recognation
  8451. by the Tenpai Empire. Any decision made by the Viceregal is totally useless to us.
  8452.  
  8453. Viceregal: What? Don't tell me at this point that you never hady any intention of...
  8454.  
  8455. // They blow up a door and break into the bank. On Outlaw Star...
  8456.  
  8457. Gene: What? This guy's not even a terrorist, he's just a simple thief?
  8458.  
  8459. Melfina: I'm not sure I understand, why would robbers demand Heiphong's independence?
  8460.  
  8461. Gene: I can't believe it, this whole bomb scare is a scam! It was all just a decoy so they could
  8462. empty out the station.
  8463.  
  8464. Jim: But why Gene, I don't get it.
  8465.  
  8466. // On the station, Crackerjack and the others break into the bank with all the jewels.
  8467.  
  8468. Crackerjack: (laughs)
  8469.  
  8470. Gene: I know exactly how you think now, Mr. Crackerjack. I bet this one is a dummy too, it'll
  8471. explode no matter which cord is cut.
  8472.  
  8473. Melfina: Uh... if thats not it, where's the real detonator?
  8474.  
  8475. Gene: I'm gonna take a look inside that hatch that blew up first. If my hunch is right, the
  8476. detonator is inside there.
  8477.  
  8478. Jim: Oh, I get it. You would never check the same place again that you've already looked at.
  8479.  
  8480. // They check it.
  8481.  
  8482. Gene: Okay.
  8483.  
  8484. Melfina: I heard a faint mechanical sound.
  8485.  
  8486. Gene: Thats it alright, Jim can I still use the buzzsaw?
  8487.  
  8488. Jim: Well, if you're just gonna cut a small hole, the batteries outta hold.
  8489.  
  8490. Gene: Okay, this time we're gonna get this sucker.
  8491.  
  8492. Melfina: But even if you find the real detonator in there, what will you do if you find two cords
  8493. again?
  8494.  
  8495. Gene: This guy's really full of himself. He'd most likely think it below him to use the same
  8496. trap. But if he did, I'd rely on my intuition and my good luck.
  8497.  
  8498. // On the station...
  8499.  
  8500. Crackerjack: Alright, its time. Lets do it, huh? Who are you?
  8501.  
  8502. Suzuka: I believe thats our line, Crackerjack. Robbery under the disguise of terrorism. Wow,
  8503. you must think you're very very clever.
  8504.  
  8505.  
  8506.  
  8507. Crackerjack: Uh... how'd you figure it out?
  8508.  
  8509. Aisha: I really can't stand idiots like you who think they can plan out every little thing.
  8510.  
  8511. Crackerjack: Get them now!
  8512.  
  8513. // Suzuka and Aisha beat up everyone.
  8514.  
  8515. Suzuka: It looks like you're the only one left, Crackerjack.
  8516.  
  8517. Crackerjack: Just tell me, what it is you two want and I'll catch you a deal. If you want part
  8518. of the take, how does half of it sound? You do realize that the ship with the bomb
  8519. is heading right for the station, we're almost out of time here!
  8520.  
  8521. Suzuka: Oh yes, that.
  8522.  
  8523. Aisha: Don't worry about it.
  8524.  
  8525. Crackerjack: What, huh? Huh?
  8526.  
  8527. // The Outlaw Star crashes right into the station.
  8528.  
  8529. Crackerjack: Ah!
  8530.  
  8531. // Gene jumps out of the ship.
  8532.  
  8533. Crackerjack: Uh.
  8534.  
  8535. Gene: Well, we finally get to meet, Crackerjack.
  8536.  
  8537. Crackerjack: You? Thats impossible.
  8538.  
  8539. Gene: Oh yeah, its possible. After we disarmed your bomb, we ditched it and came straight here
  8540. to pay you a visit.
  8541.  
  8542. Crackerjack: You stupi

  8548. The Seven Emerge
  8549.  
  8550.  
  8551.  
  8552.  
  8553.  
  8554. Narrator: Under the direct command of Hazanko, leader of the 108 stars, are the Anten Seven. A
  8555. feared group of assassins. Tobigiera. A master of disguise in the tools of killing. Hanmeo.
  8556. A prodigy in space combat with the use of cats. Iraga. A werewolf with miraculous life force.
  8557. Jukai. His abilities are shrouded in mystery. Hitoriga. A man advanced in the martial arts
  8558. much like the leader of the Anten Seven. Hamushi. A woman who captivates men purely by her
  8559. sex appeal. Shimi. A warrior who's skill is such that there is no one in the pirate guild who
  8560. hasn't heard of him. If someone were unfortunate enough to make an enemy of the Anten Seven,
  8561. and forced to fight them, I would say only this. Farewell, friend.
  8562.  
  8563. Hitoriga: Lord Hazanko, the Anten Seven are now assembled.
  8564.  
  8565. Hazanko: Hmm...
  8566.  
  8567. Iraga: If we are the only ones capable of taking this guy out he must be pretty good.
  8568.  
  8569. Jukai: Hazanko, would you prefer I deal with him?
  8570.  
  8571. Hanmio: I wouldn't mind at all doing it myself.
  8572.  
  8573. Tobigiera: Hitoriga, I've noticed the Anten Seven seems to be short one.
  8574.  
  8575. Hitoriga: Yes, Lord Hazanko has anticipated this.
  8576.  
  8577. Hazanko: I have sent out Shimi as the first assassin.
  8578.  
  8579. Hamushi: Well done Lord Hazanko. Without a doubt knowing Shimi, he will certainly carry out your
  8580. orders.
  8581.  
  8582. Jukai: Wait, this man may have stolen the XGP, but he is still a mere outlaw. Why are we
  8583. needed to kill likes of him?
  8584.  
  8585. Hazanko: Gene Starwind is strong, but his power should be nothing compared to yours. However, I
  8586. do sense a powerful G line flowing towards him. As of now, its but a small sign, yet if we leave
  8587. it unchecked, I believe he will come to cast a dark shadow on the path we walk. I entrust you
  8588. with this very task for the Anten. We must seal Gene Starwind's fate.

  8595.  
  8596. Jim: Gene, its not looking good, we're still in the red. We gotta earn some big bucks. Wake up
  8597. will ya, are you listening?! Gene!
  8598.  
  8599. Gene: Ah... relax. I already know, I don't need you to keep on harping about it.
  8600.  
  8601. // Aisha is playing a video game.
  8602.  
  8603. Guy: I love you, I want you.
  8604.  
  8605. Girl: Liar!
  8606.  
  8607. Aisha: (laughs) Its so obvious that you're taking it all out on Jim cause you haven't gotten a
  8608. job offer.
  8609.  
  8610. Gene: That darn game of your's is driving me crazy. Will ya turn it off?
  8611.  
  8612. Aisha: Taking it out on me won't do you any good either. Why don't you just talk to yourself.
  8613. Uh... shut up. (laughs). Huh? Ah, darn the game's over, you made me lose, you idiot, its
  8614. all your fault Gene.
  8615.  
  8616. Gene: Ah shut up.
  8617.  
  8618.  
  8619.  
  8620. Melfina: I made some coffee.
  8621.  
  8622. Jim: Oh, thanks.
  8623.  
  8624. Aisha: Aisha's really really thirsty. I'll have some too.
  8625.  
  8626. Jim: What are we gonna do now? We've always gotta have some plan in life.
  8627.  
  8628. Aisha: If we could just solve the mystery of the Galactic Leyline, then we could all have the
  8629. treasure.
  8630.  
  8631. Jim: Yeah, I wonder what that treasure is anyway.
  8632.  
  8633. Melfina: Here you are.
  8634.  
  8635. // Melfina brings Gene some coffee. He gives no response. There is noise outside.
  8636.  
  8637. Gene: Huh?
  8638.  
  8639. Jim: Hmm? Wonder who that is, maybe someone with a job offer?
  8640.  
  8641. Gene: Ah... great. What do they want know?
  8642.  
  8643. // They go outside where a man in a trenchcoat waits.
  8644.  
  8645. Shimi: Gene Starwind?
  8646.  
  8647. Gene: Yeah, thats right.
  8648.  
  8649. Shimi: Nothing personal, but I'm here to kill you.
  8650.  
  8651.  
  8652.  
  8653. Gene: Oh yeah? You a pirate?
  8654.  
  8655. Shimi: And what if I am?
  8656.  
  8657. Gene: I just like to know who I'm doing business with. Whats your name?
  8658.  
  8659. Shimi: I'm called Shimi. I want to play a little game with you.
  8660.  
  8661. Gene: Oh, a little game?
  8662.  
  8663. Shimi: I challenge you to a duel. I'll wait for you on Monaque Hill tomorrow at noon. Bring
  8664. any weapon you can carry. If you refuse, I'll have to kill your little friends.
  8665.  
  8666. Gene: Oh really? I don't think so.
  8667.  
  8668. Melfina: Huh?
  8669.  
  8670. Gene: You waltz up here, order me to come outside then you challenge me. Hm. Now I'm really
  8671. ticked off. Why don't we just finish it right here?
  8672.  
  8673. // They draw, Shimi quickly gets Gene at gunpoint.
  8674.  
  8675. Gene: Uh... You know, you're not bad for a little guy.
  8676.  
  8677. Shimi: I always try to fight fair, no matter who I deal with.
  8678.  
  8679. Gene: Thats interesting, you don't look like the honest type to me.
  8680.  
  8681. Shimi: You've killed far too many of us. Now I must end it. I'll make a name for myself by
  8682. getting you.
  8683.  
  8684. Gene: That suits me just fine. At least you'll be known for something.
  8685.  
  8686. Shimi: You better believe it.
  8687.  
  8688. // He puts his gun away.
  8689.  
  8690. Shimi: You just got lucky today. But don't expect to be lucky tomorrow. I'm not like those
  8691. other careless punks.
  8692.  
  8693. Gene: Oh, is that right, so who exactly are you then?
  8694.  
  8695. Shimi: I'd rather keep that to myself. But, if you beat me tomorrow, then I'll tell you. If I'm
  8696. still alive.
  8697.  
  8698. // He leaves.
  8699.  
  8700. Jim: So Gene, are you gonna go?
  8701.  
  8702. Gene: Oh yeah.
  8703.  
  8704. // Later, Gene is playing the game.
  8705.  
  8706. Guy: I love you, I want you, I need you!
  8707.  
  8708. Girl: Liar!
  8709.  
  8710. Guy: I really want you!
  8711.  
  8712. Girl: Ah!
  8713.  
  8714.  
  8715.  
  8716. Jim: Gene.
  8717.  
  8718. Gene: Yeah, what do you want Jim?
  8719.  
  8720. Jim: Don't you think you should be getting ready?
  8721.  
  8722. Gene: For what?
  8723.  
  8724. Jim: That duel!
  8725.  
  8726. Gene: Exactly how do you expect me to get ready for a duel?
  8727.  
  8728. Jim: You know.
  8729.  
  8730. Gene: Hey, c'mon, don't worry yourself about it. You know justice will always prevail. Oh, here
  8731. you try.
  8732.  
  8733. Jim: Are you sury you know what you're doing with this guy Gene?
  8734.  
  8735. Gene: Yeah sure, whats to know. Right now I'm going out for a drink.
  8736.  
  8737. Melfina: It'll be okay Jim, Gene's a tough guy.
  8738.  
  8739. Jim: Mmm Hmm.
  8740.  
  8741. Aisha: But to be perfectly honest, compared to a Ctarl, he's not really as tough.
  8742.  
  8743. // Later, Gene is at a bar when a man near him laughs.
  8744.  
  8745. Leilong: (laughs)
  8746.  
  8747. Gene: Hey, what the heck's so funny, mister?
  8748.  
  8749. Leilong: Forget it, I apologize. Looking at you sitting there like that, It sure reminds me of
  8750. myself when I was younger.
  8751.  
  8752. Gene: Oh jeez, old people are always saying things like that.
  8753.  
  8754. Leilong: Ah hey, c'mon, just listen for a moment. What do you say you and I have a little drink
  8755. together? We'll call ourselves representatives of humanity.
  8756.  
  8757. Gene: Why now, no matter what it seems that every human on this planet wants to drink with me
  8758. tonight.
  8759.  
  8760. Leilong: Maybe you should listen to what your elders have to say. Uh... um...
  8761.  
  8762. Gene: My name's Gene Starwind.
  8763.  
  8764. Leilong: I know when you're young you have to be a smart alec, even though you can't necessarily
  8765. back it up.
  8766.  
  8767. Gene: You sure have a harsh way of looking at things, don't ya?
  8768.  
  8769. Leilong: The name's Leilong. Nice to meet ya.
  8770.  
  8771. // Meanwhile...
  8772.  
  8773. Gilliam: All systems of the Outlaw Star are functioning normally.
  8774.  
  8775. Jim: Well I guess he really didn't plan anything at all, I tell ya I don't know about this, does
  8776. that mean its gonna be a fair fight or what?
  8777.  
  8778. Gilliam: Well Jim, perhaps they are afraid of my fool proof guard system.
  8779.  
  8780. Jim: Must be nice, machines don't have any worries.
  8781.  
  8782. Gilliam: Excuse me Jim, what did you mean by that?
  8783.  
  8784. Jim: Let me see... For you to understand, I'd have to do a major upgrade on you.
  8785.  
  8786. Gilliam: So, in other words you need money.
  8787.  
  8788. Jim: We need money to service the ship. Lets face it, we were attacked by pirates. Why does
  8789. this keep happening to us?
  8790.  
  8791. Aisha: Melfina, what are you doing, get over here I need your help.
  8792.  
  8793. Melfina: Uh... coming.
  8794.  
  8795. // A few minutes later, Aisha has cooked a bizarre stew.
  8796.  
  8797. Aisha: This is a Ctarl Ctarl special. Getchee Double Stew. Huh? Where's Gene? Eat some of this
  8798. and you'll have the strength of 5 men.
  8799.  
  8800. Jim: Uh... wait a minute... Is this safe for human beings to actually eat and still survive?
  8801.  
  8802. Aisha: Of course. You pathetic human being. Getchee Double Stew has its origins dating back to
  8803. year one of the Ctarl Ctarl calender where it...
  8804.  
  8805. // Back at the bar...
  8806.  
  8807. Gene: What I've been trying to tell you is that one of us is gonna die tomorrow.
  8808.  
  8809. Leilong: I suppose that you're right.
  8810.  
  8811. Gene: So, listen, have you ever been in a duel?
  8812.  
  8813. Leilong: Yeah sure, I've had a few.
  8814.  
  8815. Gene: Heh heh, so you see, you lived through every one of them, didn't ya?
  8816.  
  8817. Leilong: I'm not making any excuses, but lets just say at the time I had no choice, it was
  8818. something I had to do. In my own way I show respect for those who have died.
  8819.  
  8820. Gene: Respect... respect... heh hm.
  8821.  
  8822. Leilong: Thats right, and living means something to me. That why I'm still alive to talk about
  8823. it.
  8824.  
  8825. Gene: Hmm. Well I know one thing, I sure as heck don't feel like losing. Not now.
  8826.  
  8827. Leilong: Of course, thats what they've all said. Well now, I better call it a day.
  8828.  
  8829. Gene: You're going already?
  8830.  
  8831. Leilong: I have to watch how much I drink of this stuff. Take care of yourself.
  8832.  
  8833. // That night, Gene lays on his bed.

  8839. ------------
  8840.  
  8841. // Gene wakes up the next morning and goes downstairs to eat.
  8842.  
  8843. Gene: That maybe the last egg I get a chance to eat.
  8844.  
  8845. Jim: Cut it out, there's nothing funny about that.
  8846.  
  8847. Aisha: Yeah, it's be better for all of us if you didn't lose, but if you happen to lose, don't
  8848. worry, I'll look after everything for ya.
  8849.  
  8850. Gene: Will you get to work and make us some money?
  8851.  
  8852. Aisha: Hah! Hah! Anyway, give it your best shot.
  8853.  
  8854. Jim: Man, that lady's got no tact.
  8855.  
  8856. Melfina: Good morning.
  8857.  
  8858. Jim: Morning.
  8859.  
  8860. Jim: Gene, lets beat this guy, even if it means fighting dirty.
  8861.  
  8862. Gene: You got it, fun's just getting started.
  8863.  
  8864. // Later, they arrive at the dueling place. Shimi waits there.
  8865.  
  8866. Gene: Didn't think you'd get here early.
  8867.  
  8868. Shimi: Its not polite to keep your guest waiting now, is it?
  8869.  
  8870. Gene: I'll leave as soon as possible if you don't mind.
  8871.  
  8872. Shimi: From this life?
  8873.  
  8874. Gene: Lets do it.
  8875.  
  8876. Shimi: Fine.
  8877.  
  8878. // They draw and shoot each other at the same time. Both fall. Gene is the first to get up.
  8879.  
  8880. Shimi: Uh... wait...
  8881.  
  8882. Leilong : Just as I expected. Looks like I'm the only one who can take you on now.
  8883.  
  8884. // Leilong stands nearby. He puts down his backpack and pulls out a machete.
  8885.  
  8886. Gene: That you Leilong? You do have a real name, don't ya?
  8887.  
  8888. Leilong: Leilong is my real name. My trade name is Shimi.
  8889.  
  8890. Gene: So this guy was your flunkie, is that it?
  8891.  
  8892. Leilong: He was more like a pupil really. He didn't have any talent so he failed, thats all it
  8893. amounts to.
  8894.  
  8895. Gene: Oh yeah? What does this amount to?!
  8896.  
  8897. // Jim shoots a bunch of missiles at Shimi, which are deflected by a light shield.
  8898.  
  8899. Gene: Uh.
  8900.  
  8901. // Gene hides behind a rock.
  8902.  
  8903. Gene: Jim!
  8904.  
  8905. Jim: That guy's shield is powerful. Use a caster.
  8906.  
  8907. Gene: Man, use my trump card already?
  8908.  
  8909. Jim: Are you hurt?
  8910.  
  8911. Gene: The blast just grazed me, but the impact cracked a rib. Its slowing me down a little.
  8912. Okay, you sucker!
  8913.  
  8914. // He shoots at him with his caster. That fails to go through the shield as well.
  8915.  
  8916. Jim: Got him.
  8917.  
  8918. Leilong: A caster huh? You have some very interesting toys.
  8919.  
  8920. // Gene pulls out another gun and shoots again.
  8921.  
  8922. Gene: Eat this!
  8923.  
  8924. // It blast the shield again, blowing out the shield.
  8925.  
  8926. Leilong: I didn't think it could take a direct hit, not from a caster without getting a little
  8927. damaged.
  8928.  
  8929. Gene: What is this guy?
  8930.  
  8931. // Leilong charges Gene and beats the crap out of him, knocking him to the ground.
  8932.  
  8933. Leilong: This is the end of the line, Gene Starwind. Goodbye, Gene.
  8934.  
  8935. // Jim reveals himself.
  8936.  
  8937. Jim: Wait! Gene and I are a team. You fighting him without a handicap isn't fair at all!
  8938.  
  8939. Melfina: And I think so too!
  8940.  
  8941. Leilong: Melfina? Not you?
  8942.  
  8943. Melfina: Gene's important to me, I will not let you kill him. You understand? You will not kill
  8944. him. If you're gonna take his life you'll have to go through me first.
  8945.  
  8946. Leilong: Melfina, I couldn't possibly kill you. Anyone else who stands in my way, I will have to
  8947. kill them.
  8948.  
  8949. Aisha: Hold it, hold it right there! I have to tell you that if you kill him, you'll be dealing
  8950. with Ctarl Ctarl trouble.
  8951.  
  8952. Suzuka: I'll act as a second as well. Gene's life is currently in my keeping. I'd would
  8953. appreciate if you were not to take it. Otherwise, we can not be sure of the consequences
  8954. can we?
  8955.  
  8956. Leilong: Well well, I see you are good friends. But you can't win, you must realize that.
  8957.  
  8958. Aisha: I don't wanna hear that! Yaah!
  8959.  
  8960. // Aisha rushes at him. Leilong pulls out a whip and blows her to smithereens.
  8961.  
  8962. Aisha: Yah!
  8963.  
  8964. Jim: Aisha! Maniac!
  8965.  
  8966. // Leilong pulls out a dagger and stabs Jim.
  8967.  
  8968. Jim: Yah! Uh.
  8969.  
  8970. Melfina: No!!!
  8971.  
  8972. Suzuka: You'll pay for that.
  8973.  
  8974. Leilong: Hmph.
  8975.  
  8976. // Suzuka charges Leilong, who dodges her and knocks her to the ground. He walks up behind her
  8977. and kills her as well.
  8978.  
  8979. Gene: Suzuka!
  8980.  
  8981. Leilong: I told you what would happen, didn't I? If I have to, I'll kill anyone who tries to
  8982. interfere.
  8983.  
  8984. Gene: You son of a...
  8985.  
  8986. Melfina: Gene!
  8987.  
  8988. Leilong: Well it looks as if you can't move. That tends to make the challenge rather boring. So
  8989. then, what do you say to a one shot fight?
  8990.  
  8991. // Leilong pulls out 2 guns and gives Gene one. They stand far from each other.
  8992.  
  8993. Gene: Sounds like you're enjoying yourself.
  8994.  
  8995. Leilong: I'd be lying if I said I wasn't, but a job's a job. Looks like we're ready. Let us
  8996. begin.
  8997.  
  8998. // They shoot. Both fall to the ground.
  8999.  
  9000. Melfina: Gene! Gene! Gene...
  9001.  
  9002. Gene: Mmm..
  9003.  
  9004. Melfina: Ah... Gene.
  9005.  
  9006. Gene: Where did he go?
  9007.  
  9008. Leilong: So I'm finished too. I'm dying because of a faulty gun. Talk about bad luck. You must
  9009. try to survive them. Must not let the Anten Seven prevail.
  9010.  
  9011. Gene: What do you mean, the Anten Seven?
  9012.  
  9013. Leilong: Now there are six of them after you.
  9014.  
  9015. // Leilong dies.
  9016.  
  9017. Gene: A dud gun... so my talent's just good luck. And everybody's dead, but still I have a price
  9018. to pay.
  9019.  
  9020. Jim: You got that right, Gene Starwind.
  9021.  
  9022. Gene and Melfina: Huh? Jim!
  9023.  
  9024. Jim: Maybe this luck of yours isn't so bad after all.
  9025.  
  9026. Suzuka: I agree. It seems as if I have to go back to training. After eating that Ctarl Ctarl
  9027. stew, my whole system's been thrown out of whack.
  9028.  
  9029. Aisha: If I'm not mistaken Suzu, isn't that called shifting the blame?
  9030.  
  9031. Suzuka: I would greatly appreciate if if you didn't call me Suzu.
  9032.  
  9033. Aisha: Gene, you better not forget this, thats another one you owe me. Hurry up and solve the
  9034. mystery of the Galactic Leyline and hand over the treasure to me when you do!
  9035.  
  9036. Gene: Why do you suppose she keeps saying things like that?
  9037.  
  9038. Jim: Maybe cause the lady's got no tact.
  9039.  
  9040. Jim: He didn't kill us, so maybe he was a good guy.
  9041.  
  9042. Gene: Goodbye, Leilong.
  9043.  
  9044. // Elsewhere...
  9045.  
  9046. Hazanko: Blast you Shimi, you were worthless.
  9047.  
  9048. Hitoriga: Please, leave it to us.
  9049.  
  9050. Hazanko: Gene Starwind, now you have stirred my curiosity. I, Hazanko, want to meet you.
  9051.  
  9052. // Elsewhere, Leilong pulls himself out of his grave and removes the bullet from his chest.
  9053.  
  9054. Leilong: Blast it, he sure buried me deep enough. Seeing all those people made me start to get
  9055. some strange thoughts in my head. Maybe I'll have to just treat myself to becoming a
  9056. wandering outlaw too. Goodbye, Gene.

  9073. technology group that was led by Professor Hitei Hikei. The denation of enormous
  9074. amounts of capital made by every country, and above all, Dragonite that made the
  9075. Manchausin Drive a reality. In year one of Toward Stars calender, an unknown crystally
  9076. material, Dragonite, was discovered in a meteorite that crashed in the Arishan desert
  9077. in northern China. It was found to be a catalyst that released tremendous amounts of
  9078. energy from the inexaustable ether. In searth of Dragonite, humanity stampeded into
  9079. space. It could be considered the gold rush of the space age. But Dragonite was an
  9080. extremely rare substance in the vastness of space. An alchemical method of
  9081. synthesising it artificially has been researched ath this time, but has yet to be
  9082. perfected. As a non-renewable resourse, Dragonite is highly valued and is considered
  9083. to be the rarest, most valuable substance in the universe.

  9094.  
  9095. Aisha: Aha! That sure smells good. Huh? Ah!
  9096.  
  9097. Cook: Hey part timer! What are you doing standing around?! Take that to the table!
  9098.  
  9099. Aisha: Yes sir.
  9100.  
  9101. // She goes to the table where... Jim, Gene and Melfina sit!
  9102.  
  9103. Aisha: Sorry for the wait... huh? Wah! You, you guys?! Wha wha wha?!
  9104.  
  9105. Melfina: Uh... hi Aisha.
  9106.  
  9107. Aisha: What the heck are you doing here? How can you be ordering this fancy food? And where'd
  9108. you get that kinda money?
  9109.  
  9110. Gene: A customer's paying for it.
  9111.  
  9112. Jim: We're just supposed to wait for him. This guy happens to be a very generous client. He says
  9113. we can have anything we wanted while we were just waiting around for him.
  9114.  
  9115. Gene: This is great.
  9116.  
  9117. Jim: Yeah, its rich but it doesn't have that yucky after taste that you usually get with this
  9118. kinda food. Huh?
  9119.  
  9120. Melfina: Oh yes, he's right.
  9121.  
  9122. Aisha: Errhhh...
  9123.  
  9124. Melfina: If you want, you can have some of my lobster.
  9125.  
  9126. Aisha: Ah! Don't mind if I do, thanks.
  9127.  
  9128. Cook: Hey! Part timer! Stop messing around and get back in here!
  9129.  
  9130. Aisha: Uh... yes sir.
  9131.  
  9132. // The Old Man who is their client walks in.
  9133.  
  9134. Gene: Hmm? Looks like our client finally showed up.
  9135.  
  9136. Jim: Huh?
  9137.  
  9138. // Later...
  9139.  
  9140. Jim: So, what can we do for ya? On the phone you said you were looking for something so what
  9141. might that be? Hmm?
  9142.  
  9143. Old Man: I'm looking for a treasure.
  9144.  
  9145. Jim: Huh, wha?
  9146.  
  9147. Gene: Did he say what I think he said?
  9148.  
  9149. Old Man: Actually, we don't have to look far, I already know where it is. The ship with the
  9150. treasure went down in a certain planet. All I need for you is bring it back up for
  9151. me.
  9152.  
  9153.  
  9154.  
  9155. Jim: Salvage operation? I'm sorry, but with our equipment I'm afraid that would be a little
  9156. difficult for us.
  9157.  
  9158. Old Man: With a grappler ship it won't be a problem.
  9159.  
  9160. Jim: Hmm?
  9161.  
  9162. Old Man: I've already had a chance to see your ship at the space port. She's a perfect vessel.
  9163.  
  9164. Gene: You know, Gilliam would sure be happy to hear that.
  9165.  
  9166. Jim: But what do you need a Grappler ship for?
  9167.  
  9168. Old Man: The enviroment on that planet is sorta special. A Grappler Ship would be best suited
  9169. for it.
  9170.  
  9171. Gene: What do you mean by special?
  9172.  
  9173. Old Man: I can't tell you anymore right now.
  9174.  
  9175. Gene: Then what about the treasure?
  9176.  
  9177. Old Man: Something worth at least 5 million wong.
  9178.  
  9179. Jim: 5... 5 million?
  9180.  
  9181. Gene: C'mon, Jules...
  9182.  
  9183. Old Man: Hey, I told you I can't tell you anymore. It depends now on the answer you give me.
  9184.  
  9185. Gene: Hmm...
  9186.  
  9187. Jim: Uh... we'll just be a minute.
  9188.  
  9189. // They go under the table.
  9190.  
  9191.  
  9192.  
  9193. Jim: What should we do?
  9194.  
  9195. Gene: There's something fishy about all this. You can tell that there's something going on by
  9196. just looking at that old geezer.
  9197.  
  9198. Jim: Thats for sure. A treasure hunt with that old man running the show?
  9199.  
  9200. Gene: I ordinarily wouldn't be interested in this thing but...
  9201.  
  9202. Jim: Even if its only half of that, its still 2.5 We'd make a killing.
  9203.  
  9204. Melfina: Uh... Um...
  9205.  
  9206. Jim: But c'mon Gene, we're totally broke, we don't have much of a choice in the matter.
  9207.  
  9208. Gene: Necessity's the mother of the invention. So what do you say, should we go for all or
  9209. nothing?
  9210.  
  9211. Jim: I jut hope we get rich quick. You got a deal.
  9212.  
  9213. // They get up.
  9214.  
  9215. Jim: Sorry that took so long. Afte careful deliberations we've come to accept your job offer.
  9216. Starwind and Hawking Enterprises at your service.
  9217.  
  9218. Melfina: Uh... Ummm.... Ummmm....
  9219.  
  9220. Old Man: Just call me Old Man. Being called sir sounds like empty flattery. Call me gramps, or
  9221. old man, whichever you like.
  9222.  
  9223. Jim: Wah... Uh...
  9224.  
  9225. Old Man: I'm not the least bit surprised that you don't trust me. I have to admit, this story
  9226. is pretty fishy.
  9227.  
  9228. Jim: Uh oh, well that, this...
  9229.  
  9230. Old Man: (laughs) Its allright. Somebody with a one track mind who took the job right away would
  9231. never be able to handle it. But I also wouldn't team up with someone who doesn't have
  9232. the guts to go chasing after a dream. And you people pass.
  9233.  
  9234. Gene: Uh. I'm honored then.
  9235.  
  9236. Old Man: I like that look in your eye. Those are the eyes of an outlaw who'd go anywhere to
  9237. chase his dreams.
  9238.  
  9239. // Suddenly, shots ring out.
  9240.  
  9241. Gene: Erh...
  9242.  
  9243. Jim: Huh?
  9244.  
  9245. // A group of men come in.
  9246.  
  9247. Guy: Alright come out of there, Old Man.
  9248.  
  9249. Jim: Kinda looks as though the only thing they're after is that old man. Here.
  9250.  
  9251. Gene: Hey, it doesn't matter to me, anyone who shoots in my direction is an enemy.
  9252.  
  9253. Jim: Eh... its ridiculous.
  9254.  
  9255. // Aisha tries to get some food, but it always gets shot.
  9256.  
  9257. Aisha: Ah! Uh... no one wastes food in front of me and gets away with it! Ah!
  9258.  
  9259. // She trashes the place. Everyone runs outside.
  9260.  
  9261. Gene: When Aisha gets like that she's totally out of control.
  9262.  
  9263. Jim: Well shooting your blaster off didn't help you know. Nyuh...
  9264.  
  9265. Melfina: I wonder who those people were anyway.
  9266.  
  9267. Old Man: Some of the people who are trying to stop me.
  9268.  
  9269. Jim: Eh?
  9270.  
  9271. All: Ah!
  9272.  
  9273. Gene: When did you get here?
  9274.  
  9275. Old Man: I didn't have the chance to tell you, but there are peole who are after information
  9276. about the treasure that have been trailing for some time now.
  9277.  
  9278. All: Oh...
  9279.  
  9280. Old Man: Well then, I suppose that makes my story real.
  9281.  
  9282. All: Hmm?
  9283.  
  9284. // Meanwhile, in the wreckage...
  9285.  
  9286. Aisha: Hmm.. Hmm Hmm Hmm.
  9287.  
  9288. Cook: Erh... What are you trying to do, put me out of business?!
  9289.  
  9290. Aisha: Hmm...? Ah!
  9291.  
  9292. Cook: (cries)
  9293.  
  9294. Aisha: Uh...
  9295.  
  9296. // The next day, at the space port...
  9297.  
  9298. Old Man: You, the boy and the little lady are the crew? Just the three of you?
  9299.  
  9300. Gene: Well sometimes we team up with two of the others when we need the help, but yeah, basically
  9301. we are the crew. But, I can handle most of the problems by myself.
  9302.  
  9303. Old Man: Oh... thats really too bad. Physical strength's important on the last leg of the trip.
  9304.  
  9305. Gene: Hmm?
  9306.  
  9307. Aisha: Okay Gene Starwind, you're gonna pay for the damage to the restaurant, do you understand?
  9308.  
  9309. Gene: Uh... Aisha, you're just in time. If its strength you want, this animal has got the
  9310. strength of ten.
  9311.  
  9312. Aisha: Who are you calling an animal?!
  9313.  
  9314. Jim: Establishing all navigational data.
  9315.  
  9316. Melfina: Output of all engines is stable. We can launch.
  9317.  
  9318. Gene: Okay, so where are we headed Old Man?
  9319.  
  9320. Old Man: Heiphong 7. The water planet.
  9321.  
  9322. Gene: Alright, lets go!!
  9323.  
  9324. // They take off.
  9325.  
  9326. Old Man: I've come back! I've finally come back again finally!
  9327.  
  9328. Jim: Gramps, what do you mean when you say you've come back again?
  9329.  
  9330. Old Man: I didn't want to say anything, but I've had my fill of coming back here many times
  9331. before. Over the past 30 years.
  9332.  
  9333. Jim: What? Did you say last 30 years? Uh... whats this?
  9334.  
  9335. Old Man: Our entry course to the water planet to supply you with the data.
  9336.  
  9337. Jim: Alright, yes sir.
  9338.  
  9339. // They enter the planet.
  9340.  
  9341. Jim: Way cool, they don't call it the water planet for nothing, do they? Its more like we're in
  9342. water instead of gas.
  9343.  
  9344. Gilliam: The pressure of the planet is compressing the gas into a liquid. Its like being in an
  9345. ocean of hydrogen.
  9346.  
  9347. Old Man: Cut your engines now. Go to silent running.
  9348.  
  9349. Jim: Why do you want to do that?
  9350.  
  9351. Old Man: Do as I say!
  9352.  
  9353. Gene: Mel, go ahead, set engines to waiting mode.
  9354.  
  9355. Melfina: Understood. Now setting ether drive and sub ether drive system to waiting mode.
  9356.  
  9357. Old Man: Now pitch it down 300 degrees.
  9358.  
  9359. Jim: Roger that.
  9360.  
  9361. Aisha: Hey, look at the fish!
  9362.  
  9363. Jim: Wow, I can't believe there's fish in a place like this.
  9364.  
  9365. Aisha: They look tasty.
  9366.  
  9367. // A large creature shows up in front of them.
  9368.  
  9369. Melfina: Ah!
  9370.  
  9371. Aisha: Oh, oh my.
  9372.  
  9373. Jim: Whats that? That thing is huge.
  9374.  
  9375. Old Man: A demon.
  9376.  
  9377. Jim: A demon?
  9378.  
  9379. Old Man: The same demon that dwells in the water planet.
  9380.  
  9381. Jim: What do you mean by demon?
  9382.  
  9383. ----------
  9384.  
  9385. Eyecatch
  9386.  
  9387. ----------
  9388.  
  9389. Old Man: About thirty years ago, a ship run by pirates had been brutally attacked by an outlaw
  9390. family when it crashed on the water planet and was left behind, along with a cargo of
  9391. fifteen tons of Dragonite.
  9392.  
  9393. Jim: Fifteen tons of Dragonite?!
  9394.  
  9395. Gilliam: That equals the state budget of the fronteir world for a total of 5 years.
  9396.  
  9397. Old Man: Then the outlaws came after it. They chased right after that pirate ship as she sank
  9398. into the gas ocean. And when the pirate ship reached a sea of metallic hydrogen
  9399. invading the unknown territory, thats when those monsters appeared. The monsters that
  9400. floated up from the bottom of the sea and attacked the outlaw ships. Their claws
  9401. ripped through the armor plating and their fangs crushed through their hulls. The
  9402. monsters that slaughtered 12 of the family's ships in an instant were a pack of
  9403. primitive life forms that have made the water planet their home.
  9404.  
  9405. Jim: Woah, wait a minute Gramps, that monster we saw was part of a pack?
  9406.  
  9407. Old Man: The area the pirate ship went down in was somewhere near their colony. They have a
  9408. strong territorial instinct. Anything that invades their territory is attacked. Without
  9409. any mercy, outlaws, pirates, space forces, anyone seeking the treasure has been shredded
  9410. by their relentless claws and sent straight to the bottom. The water planet came to
  9411. be known as the place where the evil demon lives. Fear kept people from coming back,
  9412. they no longer searched for the treasure.
  9413.  
  9414. Gene: But thats not true for you. After meeting with the demon 30 years ago, you're the only
  9415. one now who's chasing for the treasure.
  9416.  
  9417. Jim: Huh, what are you talking about?
  9418.  
  9419. Gene: I'm taking a guess that it was your family that attacked the pirate ship, am I right?
  9420.  
  9421. Jim: Yeah?
  9422.  
  9423. Old Man: I've lost many things in my lifetime. My eye, my leg of course, and my hand. My family
  9424. of course is irreplacable. They took them away from me. For 30 years I kept hunting,
  9425. the monster, the treasure, I won't stop until I get them!
  9426.  
  9427. Gene: For revenge?
  9428.  
  9429. Old Man: No, its the only way an outlaw lives. I have a dream to chase after. I have an enemy
  9430. to fight. So I will keep fighting as long as I can. I'll keep fighting as long as I'm
  9431. an outlaw.
  9432.  
  9433. // An alarm goes off.
  9434.  
  9435. Melfina: I see something ahead.
  9436.  
  9437. Old Man: Thats the vessel!
  9438.  
  9439. Gene: So you're telling me 15 tons of Dragonite are waiting inside of that thing?
  9440.  
  9441. Jim: Uh... lets get out of here Gene! This place is crawling with monsters that can crush a
  9442. spaceship and chew us up like tiny morsels!
  9443.  
  9444. Gene: You have a plan, right?
  9445.  
  9446. Old Man: Of course.
  9447.  
  9448. Jim: Tell me you're not gonna do it.
  9449.  
  9450. Gene: Do you really think I'm gonna turn around and run with 15 tons of Dragonite out there?
  9451. We're gonna get the treasure thats been sitting here for 30 years and take it with us.
  9452.  
  9453. Jim: Ah, c'mon Gene.
  9454.  
  9455. Gene: Pull yourself together Jim. This is out big chance to make a quick fortune.
  9456.  
  9457. Jim: I cannot believe this, okay fine.
  9458.  
  9459. Gene: Okay Old Man, what do we do first?
  9460.  
  9461. Old Man: Ready some decoys right away.
  9462.  
  9463. Jim: Roger. Decoy loading complete.
  9464.  
  9465. Old Man: Fire them straight at the pirate ship now.
  9466.  
  9467. Aisha: Huh? They sound just like those fish we saw earlier.
  9468.  
  9469. Jim: You mean to tell me tht you can hear that?
  9470.  
  9471. Aisha: Of course I can!
  9472.  
  9473. Old Man: Evade!
  9474.  
  9475. Gene: Got it.
  9476.  
  9477. Old Man: Go ahead, cut the wires, set engines to maximum.
  9478.  
  9479. Gene: Eye eye sir.
  9480.  
  9481. // The monsters leave.
  9482.  
  9483. Gene: Alright, it worked.
  9484.  
  9485. Jim: Hey, this is a lot easier than I thought.
  9486.  
  9487. Old Man: Don't get cocky. We only have 10 minutes until they come back to their territory. That
  9488. should give us just enough time to board the ship so we can load up the treasure. Its
  9489. in the cargo hold.
  9490.  
  9491. Jim: Right, I gotcha.
  9492.  
  9493. // They head inside the ship.
  9494.  
  9495. Gene: Careful old man, we wouldn't want you to have a heart attack or something.
  9496.  
  9497. Old Man: You can rest assured, I'm not gonna stop til I get my hands on that treasure.
  9498.  
  9499. // He tries to open the door and can't.
  9500.  
  9501. Old Man: Blast, it won't open.
  9502.  
  9503. Gene: Stand back.
  9504.  
  9505. // He tries, and fails.
  9506.  
  9507. Aisha: Okay then, its time for Aisha to get to work.
  9508.  
  9509. // She opens the door. The Old Man pushes her aside and walks in.
  9510.  
  9511. Aisha: And thats how I take care of that. Uh, hey whats the big idea? Hey you guys, I... Ah!
  9512. Wow, this is all dragonite!
  9513.  
  9514. Old Man: Its been so long. The day has finally arrived. (laughs)
  9515.  
  9516. Gene: Sorry Old Man, but we don't have time for this. You can be overcome with emotion after
  9517. we've loaded up the treasure.
  9518.  
  9519. Jim: Oh ya, right.
  9520.  
  9521. Melfina: Will they make it?
  9522.  
  9523. Jim: All we can do now is hope that what the Old Man told us is true. Gene, you only have 3
  9524. minutes left.
  9525.  
  9526. Gene: I gotcha Jim, this is the last of it.
  9527.  
  9528. // The ship shakes.
  9529.  
  9530. Gene: What the heck just happened?
  9531.  
  9532. Jim: Its the monsters, they're back, they're everywhere. Wha?
  9533.  
  9534. Gene: Is that what you told us?
  9535.  
  9536. Old Man: I"m sorry, it looks like I miscalculated.
  9537.  
  9538. Gene: You miscalculated?!
  9539.  
  9540. Jim: What should we do Gene?
  9541.  
  9542. Gene: Hang on Jim til we get back.
  9543.  
  9544. Gilliam: My hull is being damaged. What are you doing Jim? Fight back with the grappler arms
  9545. before its too late.
  9546.  
  9547. Jim: Calm down, okay? We can't use the grappler amrs until we've rescued Gene and all of the
  9548. others.
  9549.  
  9550. Gilliam: Ugh...
  9551.  
  9552. Gene: Alright Jim, we've got the treasure all loaded, you can pull is un now.
  9553.  
  9554. Jim: Okay.
  9555.  
  9556. // They attack the monsters with the grappler arms. Gene and the others make it to the bridge.
  9557.  
  9558. Gene: Disengage waiting mode, get us out of here, full thrust.
  9559.  
  9560. Melfina: Roger. Output of all engines is stable.
  9561.  
  9562. Gene: Ugh... what the heck was that?
  9563.  
  9564. Gilliam: Apparantly the laeft arm is waited down.
  9565.  
  9566. Gene: Whats that?
  9567.  
  9568. // A large monster holds down the ship.
  9569.  
  9570. Gene: You thin you can take us? Man, that thing is powerful.
  9571.  
  9572. Jim: yeah, and he's huge.
  9573.  
  9574. Old Man: Thats the master. Aye, thats the one. The demon of all demons that took my life and
  9575. then smashed it to pieces. The demon king of the water planet.
  9576.  
  9577. Jim: Demon king of the water planet?
  9578.  
  9579. Gene: Melfina, fire off the engines immediately. Take it to full power and break free.
  9580.  
  9581. // That is done the creature still holds on.
  9582.  
  9583. Jim: Its not working, its using the pirate ship as leverage. Its clamped down too tight.
  9584.  
  9585. Gene: The arms are not gonna hold. SHoot, if this keeps up, we're screwed. Ah, c'mon.
  9586.  
  9587. Melfina: The cargo hatch is opening.
  9588.  
  9589. Gene: Say what?!
  9590.  
  9591. // The old man is heading out in a mini sub.
  9592.  
  9593. Gene: Old man, what the heck do you think you're doing now?
  9594.  
  9595. Old Man: Settling things with that villanous monster.
  9596.  
  9597. Gene: Settling things? Don't be stupid. What do you think you can possibly accomplish in that
  9598. mini sub?
  9599.  
  9600. Old Man: Thanks to you people I was able to fulfill my dreams in more ways than one. I spent
  9601. all my years as an outlaw chasing after this, a beautiful dream thats now come to life.
  9602.  
  9603. Gene: Old Man...
  9604.  
  9605. Old Man: All thats left now is him. He's right in front of me. And the outlaw honor says I have
  9606. to stop it.
  9607.  
  9608. Gene: Old Man, don't. There's still time, don't do it, just lets go. Stop. Don't do it!
  9609.  
  9610. Old Man: You must search for your own dream, young outlaw. And then fight for it. Fight to make
  9611. it all yours.
  9612.  
  9613. Gene: C'mon, please don't do it.
  9614.  
  9615. Old Man: Hmm...
  9616.  
  9617. // He heads into the monster. They both blow up.
  9618.  
  9619. Gene: Old Man!!!!!!
  9620.  
  9621. // Days later...
  9622.  
  9623. Aisha: We did it! We did it! We have a mountain of treasure!
  9624.  
  9625. Jim: Oh...
  9626.  
  9627. Aisha: Well, well, so how much did we make and whats my cut?
  9628.  
  9629. Jim: Zero.
  9630.  
  9631. Aisha: Huh? What do you mean zero?! With all that dragonite, you gotta be crazy. You trying to
  9632. pull one over on me?
  9633.  
  9634. Jim: It may look like a lot, but its low density. On the black market it only comes to 1.8
  9635. million wong. Take a look for yourself, here's the fuel bill, the cost of fixing the
  9636. grappler arms, the cost of replacing the armor plating, and all this is the maitence of the
  9637. ship! Parking fees and rent for the office keep piling up. There's utilities, phones,
  9638. advertising, plus the incidentals and we're left with this.
  9639.  
  9640. Aisha: (cries) Is it true!?
  9641.  
  9642. // Later, at the restaurant, she does dishes.
  9643.  
  9644. Aisha: Erh.... Why is this happening to me?!
  9645.  
  9646. // Meanwhile, Gene puts the Old Man's cane on a cliff and throws the last piece of Dragonite into
  9647. the ocean.
  9648.

  9663. // At their hideout, Harry throws darts at a picture of Gene with his new cyborg arm. Ron comes
  9664. in.
  9665.  
  9666. Harry: What took so long Ron?
  9667.  
  9668. Ron: I guess I kept you waiting a long time.
  9669.  
  9670.  
  9671.  
  9672. Harry: I got fed up with all this waiting around and I was deciding if I should just leave
  9673. without you or not.
  9674.  
  9675. Ron: Hmph. I finally finished lining up the job. We can take it now that we've got your new arm
  9676. conditioned.
  9677.  
  9678. Harry: You mean...?
  9679.  
  9680. Ron: Yeah, we're gonna pay them a visit and teach them once and for all what happens to people
  9681. who mess with the MacDougal Brothers.
  9682.  
  9683. // Meanwhile...
  9684.  
  9685. Melfina: Hey, I'm back.
  9686.  
  9687. Jim: Hey there Mel.
  9688.  
  9689. Gene: Hey, how much longer?
  9690.  
  9691. Jim: Will you hold your horses Gene, I found this stupid piece of crap at the city's garbage
  9692. dump, okay?
  9693.  
  9694. Melfina: Hey, what are you guys doing?
  9695.  
  9696. Gene: We just got delivered some video mail from Clyde today.
  9697.  
  9698. Melfina: Who's Clyde?
  9699.  
  9700. Gene: You know, he's the owner of our favorite place, that neighborhood dive we took you to on
  9701. Sentinel 3. We sent him our address here and we just got a response.
  9702.  
  9703. Jim: Its all ready Gene, I'm gonna play it.
  9704.  
  9705. // He plays it.
  9706.  
  9707.  
  9708.  
  9709. Clyde: Are you sure this thing is recording?
  9710.  
  9711. Iris: Yeah, it's recording. Gene, Jim, how are you guys doing? What a surprise, we've been so
  9712. worried since that reufus at Virginia Space Port, but I never actually gave up hope.
  9713.  
  9714. Clyde: Anyway, we're both glad you're okay.
  9715.  
  9716. Iris: So I heard you set up shop in Heiphong, huh? Knowing you two, I bet you're making money
  9717. hand over fist.
  9718.  
  9719. Jim and Gene: Huh?
  9720.  
  9721. Clyde: If you're in Heiphong, you're in a really big city. There's no comparison between the
  9722. stale business here in a place like that.
  9723.  
  9724. Iris: When you guys make it big, stop by and say hello we'll be waiting.
  9725.  
  9726. Clyde: Well, you take care now. We'll send you another message soon.
  9727.  
  9728. Gene: Hey, this is just like old times, isn't it?
  9729.  
  9730. Jim: Yeah, but its only been a little over three months since we left.
  9731.  
  9732. Gene: Man, what I wouldn't give for one of Clyde's spicy omelettes right know, you know?
  9733.  
  9734. Jim: Mmm... I was just thinking about Iris's homemade custom pudding.
  9735.  
  9736. Gene: Yeah...
  9737.  
  9738. Jim: Oh well.
  9739.  
  9740. // The phone rings.
  9741.  
  9742. Jim: Hi, you've reached the famous Starwind and Hawking repair shop where we guarantee to fix
  9743. anything that can break down in your life from tractors to relationships.
  9744.  
  9745. Ron: Is it true that you'll also take jobs that are considered by most to be a little dangerous?
  9746.  
  9747. Jim: Heh, well sure, as long as its not against the law.
  9748.  
  9749. Ron: Its not exactly illegal, but its possibly fatal.
  9750.  
  9751. Jim: Huh? Hmm...
  9752.  
  9753. Gene: Well then, it'll depend on the pay. Like for starters sir, could you give us your full
  9754. name?
  9755.  
  9756. Ron: My name is irrelevant. I want to meet so I can talk to you in person.
  9757.  
  9758. Gene: In that case, feel free to come on down to our office any time.
  9759.  
  9760. Ron: No. I've chosen a neutral location. There's a restaurant called Helenism at Darian point.
  9761. We'll meet there.
  9762.  
  9763. Gene: I think that you're just a little confused my friend. C'mon, you think we'd be so
  9764. incredibly stupid that we'd go down there on your terms without even discussing either
  9765. the job or the pay?
  9766.  
  9767. Ron: You'll come. Believ me, it won't seem like a waste of time at all. I'd like to take a
  9768. moment to discuss with you the Galactic Leyline.
  9769.  
  9770. Gene: Huh?
  9771.  
  9772. Jim: Huh?
  9773.  
  9774. Melfina: Huh?
  9775.  
  9776. Gene: Where did you find out about that? How could you possibly get this number?! Who are you?
  9777.  
  9778. Ron: I have a table for two for 5 o'clock. Only one of you will come into the restaurant. I'd
  9779. advise you to be completely unarmed. I'll be waiting.
  9780.  
  9781. Gene: Hey, hold on there...
  9782.  
  9783. // He hangs up.
  9784.  
  9785. Gene: Were you able to trace it?
  9786.  
  9787. Jim: Lets see, it was from a public phone somewhere on J street. But I can't tell who made the
  9788. call. Sorry.
  9789.  
  9790. Gene: Well thats no surprise.
  9791.  
  9792. Jim: Restaurant Hellinism. By car it'll take you somewhere around 40 minutes to get there. Woah,
  9793. Gene, it says here the typical dinners start at 820 wong!
  9794.  
  9795. Gene: This has trap written all over it.
  9796.  
  9797. Jim: Think its the pirates?
  9798.  
  9799. Gene: Well sure its possible, but thats not exactly what my gut's telling me.
  9800.  
  9801. Jim: Who then?
  9802.  
  9803. Gene: It doesn't really matter. He mentioned The Galactic Leyline, so that means I have to go.
  9804. Get the car ready.
  9805.  
  9806. Jim: Okay, you got it.
  9807.  
  9808. Melfina: Gene, can I go?
  9809.  
  9810. Gene: Keep an eye on things here.
  9811.  
  9812. Melfina: But Gene, I want to know too... about the... Galactic Leyline...
  9813.  
  9814. Gene: If the job's on the up and up, we'll tell you all about it when we get back. But if it
  9815. turns into a big mess, you'd be better off here.
  9816.  
  9817. Melfina: I know, but...
  9818.  
  9819. Gene: Don't worry Melfina. We'll come back in one piece. I promise you that.
  9820.  
  9821. // They head to the restaurant.
  9822.  
  9823. Jim: Man... This place looks expensive. Okay Gene, if you need me I'll be standing by in the
  9824. parking lot.
  9825.  
  9826. Gene: Right.
  9827.  
  9828. // He goes in. He is brought to the table.
  9829.  
  9830. Waiter: Your table sir, enjoy your meal.
  9831.  
  9832. Ron: I know that you'd change your mind. Please, have a seat.
  9833.  
  9834. Waiter: Take your time gentlemen.
  9835.  
  9836. Gene: Well?
  9837.  
  9838. Ron: I want to propose a deal to you.
  9839.  
  9840. Gene: A deal? I thought I came here to discuss a job that had to do with the Galactic Leyline.
  9841.  
  9842. Ron: I want to know if you'd agree to sell me your ship and the girl that accesses its central
  9843. computer.
  9844.  
  9845. Gene: Sorry pal, neither one of them's for sale. Huh... Wait a minute... how do you know about
  9846. Melfina?
  9847.  
  9848. Ron: I heard about her from my little brother.
  9849.  
  9850. Gene: Your little brother...? Huh? Are you telling me that you're the older MacDougal Brother?
  9851.  
  9852. Ron: Thats right. I knew that you'd catch on quick.
  9853.  
  9854. Gene: You jerk!
  9855.  
  9856. Ron: The Galactic Leyline. Now that I've got your attention, do you have any idea what it is?
  9857.  
  9858. Gene: I don't know, but I would imagine your killing Hilda had something to do with it.
  9859.  
  9860. Ron: It was nothing personal, I was just carrying out a contract. I just happened to be doing
  9861. some checking around afterwards and discovered a few stray facts I think you might find
  9862. especially interesting.
  9863.  
  9864. Gene: Really? What do you mean by facts? Erh... start talking!
  9865.  
  9866. Ron: To make the journey to a place called the Galactic Leyline, the Kai Pirates needed a
  9867. specially equipped ship and navigation system. The only ship that can make such a trip is
  9868. yours, the XGP. And the only navigation system precise enough is the bio android girl.
  9869.  
  9870. Gene: I know for a fact Hilda kept that ship a secret!
  9871.  
  9872. Ron: That ship wasn't designed to be constructed by the Pirates alone, it was completed in
  9873. secrecy with considerable assistance from the Space Forces group. Incidently, the ship and
  9874. the android were both stolen by Hilda.
  9875.  
  9876. Gene: So... you helped out the pirates and killed Hilda. Is that it?
  9877.  
  9878. Ron: No, not at all. The only way I helped out the pirates was by finding Hilda. The actual
  9879. request to destroy the XGP came from the Space Forces, who were afraid that their dealings
  9880. with the pirates would come out. At the time, they didn't explain what kind of ship the
  9881. XGP was, or its capabilities.
  9882.  
  9883. Gene: But that doesn't change the fact that you're the one who killed Hilda.
  9884.  
  9885. Ron: I'll get to that point. But before I do, I want the XGP and the Bio Android girl Melfina.
  9886.  
  9887. Gene: I'll never give them to a blood sucking parasite like you.
  9888.  
  9889. Ron: Have it your way, but just remember if you keep them they won't be used for their original
  9890. purpose.
  9891.  
  9892. Gene: Then there's just one other think I need to ask you.
  9893.  
  9894. Ron: Yeah, what is it?
  9895.  
  9896. Gene: Are you the guys who destroyed a cargo ship near Sentinel 3 six years ago? I've got to
  9897. know.
  9898.  
  9899. Ron: Six years ago near Sentinel? Hah, I dont' remember anything like that.
  9900.  
  9901. Gene: Yes you do, you lying bastard, I saw your ship with my own two eyes.
  9902.  
  9903. Ron: In that case, I suppose its possible, I've forgotten I've been rather busy in my line of
  9904. work. I can't remember every little job I've done.
  9905.  
  9906. Gene: Little job?! Let me help you remember!
  9907.  
  9908. // He pulls out a gun.
  9909.  
  9910. Gene: How bout starting from the beginning and telling me everything that you know
  9911.  
  9912.  
  9913.  
  9914. Ron: I thought I told you this afternoon to come unarmed.
  9915.  
  9916. Gene: I didn't have any guarantee that you'd be unarmed, did I?
  9917.  
  9918. Ron: Now all I guess you didn't.
  9919.  
  9920. // The guys next to him take out guns.
  9921.  
  9922. Ron: I think you've insulted my friends.
  9923.  
  9924. Gene: I hate to insult you, but you're not the only one who brought along some friends.
  9925.  
  9926. // Aisha and Suzuka come out of their costumes and attack. Ron jumps out the window.
  9927.  
  9928. Gene: Come back here!
  9929.  
  9930. // They go outside, where Ron has a bunch of cat like weapons.
  9931.  
  9932. Ron: These are the latest Space Force weapons. I'm told they're extremely powerful.
  9933.  
  9934. Aisha: You're gonna have to pay me more than a lousy 20 wong an hour to take those things on.
  9935.  
  9936. Suzuka: I was only interested in getting involved because you said the Kai Pirates where at the
  9937. bottom of this one.
  9938.  
  9939. Gene: It so happens that guy has the key to the Kei Pirates and the Galactic Leyline.
  9940.  
  9941. Aisha: The Galactic Leyline?!
  9942.  
  9943. // Meanwhile, at their place, the door knocks.
  9944.  
  9945. Melfina: Oh? Who is it? Huh?
  9946.  
  9947. // She opens the door. Its Harry.
  9948.  
  9949. Harry: Hiya.
  9950.  
  9951.  
  9952.  
  9953. Melfina: Oh... Its you.

  9960.  
  9961. // Melfina closes the door.
  9962.  
  9963. Harry: Open up! Don't be afraid, I just came to pick you up Melfina.
  9964.  
  9965. Melfina: Pick me up?
  9966.  
  9967. // Meanwhile Gene is fighting.
  9968.  
  9969. Gene: Great, this toy just isn't gonna cut it.
  9970.  
  9971. // Jim arrives.
  9972.  
  9973. Jim: Hey Gene, what the hecks going on around here?
  9974.  
  9975. Gene: Weren't you listening in on the radio?
  9976.  
  9977. Jim: All I got was noise, I couldn't hear anything. I guess they jammed the system or something.
  9978.  
  9979. Gene: This is exactly what he's been planning all along. Watch my back Jim, will ya?
  9980.  
  9981. Jim: You got it.
  9982.  
  9983. // Suzuka and Aisha fight as well.
  9984.  
  9985. Gene: You're all mine.
  9986.  
  9987. // He shoots at Ron.
  9988.  
  9989. Gene: What the hell?
  9990.  
  9991. Ron: I also have the Space Force's top of the line light shield for protection.
  9992.  
  9993. Gene: Blast you!
  9994.  
  9995. // The fight continues. Jim shoots one of the cat like weapons.
  9996.  
  9997. Jim: Hey, I got im!
  9998.  
  9999. // Gene kills it with his caster.
  10000.  
  10001. Jim: You moron! You know how expensive it is to get a hold of these things Gene?
  10002.  
  10003. Gene: This is not the time!
  10004.  
  10005. // He kills another.
  10006.  
  10007. Gene: Unfortunately your light shield doesn't cut it against this thing.
  10008.  
  10009. Ron: I had no idea you use a caster.
  10010.  
  10011. // Harry bangs on the door.
  10012.  
  10013. Harry: C'mon, open up Melfina, come with me please! Its for your own good, do you hear me?
  10014.  
  10015. // He tears through the door with his hand and grabs Melfina.
  10016.  
  10017. Melfina: Ah! Ah........
  10018.  
  10019. // Harry opens up the door and comes in.
  10020.  
  10021. Harry: Why didn't you open the door for me?! I came here because of you, couldn't you at least
  10022. show a little gratitude?
  10023.  
  10024. // The fight continues.
  10025.  
  10026. Suzuka: I've seen all your moves, I suggest you save your strength.
  10027.  
  10028. Aisha: Erh... Ah! Stay out of this, I don't have any business with you!
  10029.  
  10030. // Only Ron is left.
  10031.  
  10032. Suzuka: Now tell us about the Kai Pirates.
  10033.  
  10034. Aisha: And the mystery of the Galactic Leyline.
  10035.  
  10036. Gene: Why don't you just tell us everything you know.
  10037.  
  10038. Ron: Hmph. Sorry, I don't think so.
  10039.  
  10040. // Gene shoots him. Ron takes out his own weapon and blocks it.
  10041.  
  10042. Gene: What is this?
  10043.  
  10044. Ron: You know, casters have earned the reputation of being exceptionally effective against the
  10045. Tao Masters because they're based on a totally different technical system.
  10046.  
  10047. Gene: This could get ugly.
  10048.  
  10049. Ron: Two weapons that are using the same technological system can defend against each other.
  10050.  
  10051. // Gene shoots, Ron blocks by firing his weapon.
  10052.  
  10053. Gene: Its a caster!
  10054.  
  10055. Ron: Right! And therefore we cancel each other out.
  10056.  
  10057. // They fire again.
  10058.  
  10059. Gene: This is not good, I'm gonna run out of shells before he does.
  10060.  
  10061. Ron: Whats the matter? You can't run off, I'm not finished playing with you yet.
  10062.  
  10063. Gene: Ah, you wanna play?
  10064.  
  10065. // They shoot again. This time Gene runs.
  10066.  
  10067. Gene: We're getting out of here now!
  10068.  
  10069. Aisha: Where are you going?
  10070.  
  10071. Gene: C'mon, they're after the Outlaw Star and Melfina!
  10072.  
  10073. Jim: Wha?
  10074.  
  10075. Aisha: Huh?
  10076.  
  10077. Suzuka: Huh?
  10078.  
  10079. Ron: My little brother Harry's quite taken with Melfina.
  10080.  
  10081. // Gene jumps in the car and they drive off.
  10082.  
  10083. Gene: Hurry up Jim.
  10084.  
  10085. Jim: Got it.
  10086.  
  10087. Ron: Its 30 minutes to the spaceport, no matter how fast they go they'll never make it to the
  10088. space port in time.
  10089.  
  10090. Aisha: Hey, wait a minute!
  10091.  
  10092. // Ron runs off.
  10093.  
  10094. Aisha: Wait, come back here and tell me what you know about the Galactic Leyline!
  10095.  
  10096. // Meanwhile...
  10097.  
  10098. Melfina: No, don't! Stay away!
  10099.  
  10100. Harry: Why are you running away?!
  10101.  
  10102. // He whacks her with the flowers he brought.
  10103.  
  10104. Harry: I didn't mean to do that Melfina, I'm sorry. I promise I'm not going to hurt you. After
  10105. all, when it really comes down to it, we're one in the same.
  10106.  
  10107. Melfina: What do you mean the same?
  10108.  
  10109. Harry: Yeah, you and I Melfina. Both of us, we're really constructs.
  10110.  
  10111. Melfina: Constructs? You're one too?
  10112.  
  10113. Harry: Yes, thats right, I was born in a test tube, a human organism made from synthetic
  10114. protoplasm I was based from someone else's genes, but I don't have any parents. I'm a
  10115. construct. It was just the samewith you, right? Tell me everything you remember.
  10116.  
  10117. Melfina: I don't know. I can't remember anything like that at all.
  10118.  
  10119. Harry: You've got to remember. Listen to me, we're exactly the same, we're constructs with
  10120. greater abilities than any mere humans. Nothing good could ever come from staying with
  10121. normal people. C'mon, come with me, we'll look out for each other.
  10122.  
  10123. Melfina: Oh...
  10124.  
  10125. Harry: C'mon, hey you can trust me.
  10126.  
  10127. Melfina: No!
  10128.  
  10129. Harry: Ugh, why can't I make you understand!?
  10130.  
  10131. Melfina: Ah!
  10132.  
  10133. // He hits her offscreen and brings her to the spaceport.
  10134.  
  10135. Harry: I feel so sorry for you. All these horrible things have happened to you. But you can
  10136. relax now, I'll protect you, don't worry about it.
  10137.  
  10138. Melfina: No!
  10139.  
  10140. // She jumps off of him.
  10141.  
  10142. Harry: Ugh!
  10143.  
  10144. Melfina: Gilliam help, open up the hatch!
  10145.  
  10146. Gilliam: What in the world is the matter?
  10147.  
  10148. Harry: Ah!
  10149.  
  10150. Gilliam: Ah!
  10151.  
  10152. // The door closes.
  10153.  
  10154. Harry: Ugh. Open up! Open up!
  10155.  
  10156. Gilliam: I'm terribly sorry, but you don't have the captain's permission to come aboard.
  10157.  
  10158. Harry: I don't need anybody's permission.
  10159.  
  10160. // He hacks into the ship with his arm.
  10161.  
  10162. Gilliam: Melfina, could you possibly give me a hand here? The intruder that has been persuing
  10163. you is trying to penetrate my protection from outside somehow. If something isn't
  10164. done soon, he'll be able to open up the hatch.
  10165.  
  10166. Melfina: Yes of course.
  10167.  
  10168. Harry: Ah.
  10169.  
  10170. // Melfina is inside the usual place. She is in a computer like world, where Harry shows up.
  10171.  
  10172. Harry: There you are. I've been looking forward to meeting you like this. Now do you believe me
  10173. Melfina?
  10174.  
  10175. Melfina: Stop it! Stay away from me!
  10176.  
  10177. Harry: Why are you running away? Why don't you come along with me? There's no reason to turn
  10178. me down, right? I'm the only one who can see you like this, you know its true Melfina.
  10179.  
  10180. Melfina: Stay away! Stay away!
  10181.  
  10182. Harry: Hiding in there won't do you any good. There's no place for us around normal humans
  10183. anymore. Haven't you ever felt left out, unwanted? Come along with me Melfina, you and I
  10184. belong together, joined as one forever.
  10185.  
  10186. Melfina: No!
  10187.  
  10188. Harry: Ugh! Ah!
  10189.  
  10190. // His hand short circuits.
  10191.  
  10192. Harry: Why!? Why won't you do what I say?! What is it?! Whats your problem, whats wrong? Ah!
  10193. Stop moving around by yourself!
  10194.  
  10195. // Ron calls him.
  10196.  
  10197. Ron: Harry, they're on their way, they'll be coming back soon. Were you able to get the XGP and
  10198. the android like we discussed?
  10199.  
  10200. Harry: Why doesn't anybody do what I tell them to do? That witch, my arms freaking out.
  10201.  
  10202. Ron: You mean you blew it?! Get out of there now!
  10203.  
  10204. Harry: Ah... you moron. You hear me, don't you forget, its Harry MacDougal you're dealing with.
  10205. I'll catch up to you, you can count on it.
  10206.  
  10207. // He leaves. Later, the others arrive.
  10208.  
  10209. Gene: Melfina! Are you okay?
  10210.  
  10211. Gilliam: Don't worry Gene. An intruder tried to break into the main control room of the Outlaw
  10212. Star, but with the valient efforts of Melfina and myself, we drove them off.
  10213.  
  10214. Jim: Are you sure that you're okay Melfina?
  10215.  
  10216. Melfina: Yeah, sure. I'm really feeling fine Jim.
  10217.  
  10218. Jim: Thank goodness. We were really worried there.
  10219.  
  10220. // Later...
  10221.  
  10222. Gene: MacDougal Brothers are after us. They'll stop at nothing until they get the Outlaw Star and
  10223. Melfina. I don't think I can take too much more of this.
  10224.  
  10225. Jim: Well if you can't take too much more of this, what do you plan we do?
  10226.  
  10227. Gene: Good question.
  10228.  
  10229. Jim: Whats this? Its a message for Mel.
  10230.  
  10231. Gwen: Hi Melfina, so tell me how you've been. Have you been well? Do you remember me? Its your
  10232. friend Gwen Khan.
  10233.  
  10234. Jim: Hey, its that old geezer.
  10235.  
  10236. Gwen: By the way, what are you still doing on Heiphong? Aren't you going to look for the
  10237. Galactic Leyline?
  10238.  
  10239. Gene: And he's talking about the Galactic Leyline too.
  10240.  
  10241. Gwen: You have the XGP, but you still haven't left yet, could it be that you don't have any
  10242. information? I see, that must be it. Right. Right. I've been checking into things on my
  10243. end too, but I haven't uncovered any clues yet. Yes, yes, I see. I see. Well, I'll
  10244. contact you again. I'll be in touch if I find anything further.
  10245.  
  10246. Jim: That guy still doesn't make any sense to me.
  10247.  
  10248. Gene: I know, me either, but I just figured something else out.
  10249.  
  10250. Jim: Whats that?
  10251.  
  10252. Gene: That we really have no other choice. We have to go to the Galactic Leyline at once and end
  10253. this.
  10254.  
  10255. // Melfina is at the shrine again.
  10256.  
  10257. Melfina: I can't help but wonder who he really was anyway... and who am I?!

  10270.  
  10271. // At Fred's place...
  10272.  
  10273. Fred: So... what do you have in mind, do you want to borrow more money, what do I get out of it?
  10274.  
  10275. Gene: I don't have the time to deal with chump change jobs anymore if thats what you're talking
  10276. about. Look Fred, this is serious. You're the only one I can turn to right now.
  10277.  
  10278. Fred: Hmm... Hm. Hey, now don't be so formal. We're closer friends than that, have I ever
  10279. turned you down for any kind of a favor?
  10280.  
  10281. Gene: Then you will?
  10282.  
  10283. Fred: Of course I will. But only under one condition.
  10284.  
  10285. Gene: I'm not gonna dance with ya.
  10286.  
  10287. Fred: Ha! Please, I only want you to do a job for me.
  10288.  
  10289. Gene: What kinda job?
  10290.  
  10291. Fred: It'll take place in only three days. The annual galactic Strong Man Tournament. The biggest
  10292. tournament of its kind will be held at the Heiphong Colleseum. Its a no holds barred fight
  10293. between people who think they're the strongest person in the galaxy. The winner goes home
  10294. with the galaxy title in addition to a purse of 100000 wong.
  10295.  
  10296. Gene: And you're asking me to enter my name and win it? Are you crazy, you're fighting poster
  10297. boy?
  10298.  
  10299. Fred: No, thats not what I'm asking. The problem I have has to do with the Tournament's female
  10300. division.
  10301.  
  10302. Gene: Women fight in this thing too?
  10303.  
  10304. // Fred gives Gene two pics, Gene looks at the one on top.
  10305.  
  10306. Gene: Hey, she's pretty good looking Fred.
  10307.  
  10308. Fred: Reiko Ando. Who has held the title of the Strongest Woman in the Universe for 4 years
  10309. running now.
  10310.  
  10311. Gene: You gotta be kidding me man... a cute looking babe like that?
  10312.  
  10313. // He sees the pic of her entire body.
  10314.  
  10315. Gene: Ugh... uh. Ah!
  10316.  
  10317. Fred: I don't care what you have to do, get the job done. Keep her from winning a fifth time!

  10324.  
  10325. // They are at a bar.
  10326.  
  10327. Gene: I guess I just don't understand it. What difference does it make if this muscle chick wins
  10328. the Strongest Woman in the Universe Title again?
  10329.  
  10330. Fred: It means I'll have to marry her.
  10331.  
  10332.  
  10333.  
  10334. Gene: Hmm? What did you just say?
  10335.  
  10336. Fred: Marry.
  10337.  
  10338. Gene: What do you mean, whate are you trying to tell me?
  10339.  
  10340. Fred: I'm telling you that I'm gonna have to get married to that hormonoly challenged amazon
  10341. girl, okay?
  10342.  
  10343. Gene: You're gonna marry her? Ew... (laughs)
  10344.  
  10345. Fred: Will you cut it out man, its no laughing matter.
  10346.  
  10347. Gene: So why are you making such a big issue out of this? Why not just get married?
  10348.  
  10349. Fred: Have you completely lost your mind? Because I don't want to. My inquisitive nature won't be
  10350. satisfied until I explore other amorous pursuits.
  10351.  
  10352. Gene: Okay... so what does getting married have to do with who wins the Strongest Woman in the
  10353. Universe Tournament?
  10354.  
  10355. Fred: Lou family tradition says that the women we select to be our brides have to be the
  10356. strongest in the universe.
  10357.  
  10358. Gene: What? What are you talking about?
  10359.  
  10360. Fred: Properly speaking, it means a bride who possesses mental strength and a high moral ethic.
  10361. But I guess that I dictated terms to her that were of a more general nature.
  10362.  
  10363. Gene: Hmm... so you told her that she had to win the Tournament, is that what you're saying?
  10364.  
  10365. Fred: I told her five times, five times! Oh... I figured that she'd never be able to do it, but
  10366. she's won! She has won every year for the last four years!
  10367.  
  10368. Gene: Which means that this year will make it five years running with you as the prize waiting
  10369. for her at the finish line.
  10370.  
  10371. Fred: I'm gonna smack you if you don't stop teasinbg me. I'm asking you to help me.
  10372.  
  10373. Gene: Okay, take it easy, but you'll lend me all the money with none of your shinanigans if I win
  10374. the tournament, right?
  10375.  
  10376. Fred: I'll pay the money in full as you know.
  10377.  
  10378. // He writes something down.
  10379.  
  10380. Fred: How does this much sound?
  10381.  
  10382. Fred and Gene: (laughs)
  10383.  
  10384. Gene: Hey, there's no need to be so formal with me Freddy boy, have I ever once turned you down
  10385. for a favor?
  10386.  
  10387. Fred: Gene.
  10388.  
  10389. Gene: Okay my friend, we have ourselves a deal.
  10390.  
  10391. Fred: I'm counting on you.
  10392.  
  10393. // On the drive there...
  10394.  
  10395. Gene: Do you think you can handle it Aisha? All you have to do is get into the ring and defeat
  10396. that muscle chick, I'm really depending on you.
  10397.  
  10398. Aisha: Ah... just leave it to me, its a piece of cake, I don't care who she is I can beat anybody
  10399. in the galaxy.
  10400.  
  10401. Suzuka: The universe is a very big place, I wouldn't be so sure it'll be that easy.
  10402.  
  10403. Aisha: For someone as brave as you Suz, you sure sound like a worry wort.
  10404.  
  10405. Suzuka: For the last time, stop calling me by that name.
  10406.  
  10407. Aisha: Have no fear, just leave everything to Aisha. I've already got a million ideas about how
  10408. I'm gonna spend the prize money. Can't you get this thing to go any faster Gene, this girl
  10409. is ready to pounce!
  10410.  
  10411. // The get there.
  10412.  
  10413. Aisha: Why not? What do you mean I can't enter?
  10414.  
  10415. Clerk: According to tournament rules, it states the Ctarl Ctarl are not allowed to enter the
  10416. competition.
  10417.  
  10418. Aisha: Why not?! Who made up this stupid rule that the Ctarl Ctarl aren't allowed in, thats
  10419. discrimination.
  10420.  
  10421. Clerk: Five years ago, a Ctarl Ctarl who qualified as a contestant in the final tournament became
  10422. overly excited and turned into some kind of animal. And then she... pounced on her
  10423. opponent, pinning her down and bit off her right ear!
  10424.  
  10425. Aisha: Yah... no, you're kidding me.
  10426.  
  10427. Clerk: Thats not the worst of it. She was disqualified, but that made her even more wild!
  10428.  
  10429. Aisha: No!
  10430.  
  10431. Clerk: There were 984 hospitalized! 5379 were seriously injured!
  10432.  
  10433. Aisha: Ah!
  10434.  
  10435. Clerk: There were so many with wounds that we lost count! It was a monumental disaster that was
  10436. totally unprecidented. And so... ever since that day, all Ctarl Ctarl have been banned
  10437. from the tournament, understand?
  10438.  
  10439. Aisha: You can't be serious...
  10440.  
  10441. Jim: What are we gonna do Gene?
  10442.  
  10443. Gene: We haven't got much choice. If Aisha can't enter, we haven't got a uh... Suzuka!
  10444.  
  10445. Suzuka: Are you serious? You want me to do a job for Fred Lou? Right...
  10446.  
  10447. Gene: I... just thought. I didn't think she's go for it. So I guess we're really out of options.
  10448.  
  10449. Melfina: I know.
  10450.  
  10451. Gene: Hmm?
  10452.  
  10453. Melfina: Why don't you enter the tournament yourself?
  10454.  
  10455. Gene: What are you thinking? I don't have any qualifications, there's no way I'd get away with
  10456. that!
  10457.  
  10458. Jim: Well... now thats not entirely untrue.
  10459.  
  10460. Gene: Which side are you on, remember I'm a man?
  10461.  
  10462. Suzuka: Well now, wait a minute. That might actually be an excellent solution.
  10463.  
  10464. Gene: Huh? C'mon, not you too?
  10465.  
  10466. Suzuka: You have a number of options, you just have to keep an open mind.
  10467.  
  10468. Gene: Hmm?
  10469.  
  10470. // Later...
  10471.  
  10472. Announcer: Ladies and Gentlemen... welcome to the 13th annual Universal Strong Man Tournament!

  10480.  
  10481. // He sees Gene dressed like a girl.
  10482.  
  10483. Ikee: And for those 32 women who have trained so hard and have assembled...
  10484.  
  10485. Fred: I can't believe it! Gene Starwing got dressed up in that embarrasing get up just for me.
  10486.  
  10487. Gene: Erh...
  10488.  
  10489. // He flashes back.
  10490.  
  10491.  
  10492.  
  10493. Melfina: Maybe this color would look better on you.
  10494.  
  10495. Suzuka: I think this would complement his eyes.
  10496.  
  10497. Jim: We've bribed that official so don't worry about it. No one wil find ya out. Now get in
  10498. there and make us some money Jenny.
  10499.  
  10500. Gene: They were loving every minute of it.
  10501.  
  10502. Aisha: How long does he plan to ramble like this?
  10503.  
  10504. Gene: You got that right. Finish already... huh?
  10505.  
  10506. Aisha: (yawns) I can hardly keep awake, hurry up.
  10507.  
  10508. Gene: How did she get in here?
  10509.  
  10510. // They confront Aisha in the locker room.
  10511.  
  10512. Aisha: And one... and two...
  10513.  
  10514. Gene: How the heck did you sneak in here you animal?
  10515.  
  10516. Aisha: I told you not to call me that... huh? Gene? (laughs) You lose your pompoms little...
  10517.  
  10518. Gene: Hey shut up Aisha, your'e in no position to laugh at anyone.
  10519.  
  10520. Aisha: I don't know what you're talking about. I'm afraid that you're terribly mistaken, I'm the
  10521. mysterious masked fighter Firecat. Any resemblence to Aisha Clan Clan is pure coincidence.
  10522. I don't know her.
  10523.  
  10524. Jim: We can see through the disguise Aisha.
  10525.  
  10526. Melfina: I can't believe you fooled them with that costume Aisha.
  10527.  
  10528. Aisha: Rrr... will you stop calling me Aisha? Huh?
  10529.  
  10530.  
  10531.  
  10532. // A woman bursts out of the locker tied up.
  10533.  
  10534. Firecat: I'm tellin you, I'm the real Firecat! Yah!
  10535.  
  10536. // Aisha throws her back in.
  10537.  
  10538. Aisha: (laughs)
  10539.  
  10540. Gene: No, you didn't...
  10541.  
  10542. Aisha: I did like it or not, I'm gonna fight as Firecat. I'll surprise all of you and win this
  10543. thing, you'll see.
  10544.  
  10545.  
  10546.  
  10547. Jim: Hey wow, you actually thought things through for a change.
  10548.  
  10549. Gene: You're not taking her side, are you Jim?
  10550.  
  10551. Jim: Whats the matter, you sound like you're dissappointed little girl.
  10552.  
  10553. Melfina: This is good news for you Gene, Aisha can fight her instead.
  10554.  
  10555. Gene: Melfina...? Not you too.
  10556.  
  10557. Aisha: That a girl, I'm gonna win this Tournament and restore the respect of the Ctarl Ctarl.
  10558.  
  10559. // Noise comes from the locker again.
  10560.  
  10561. Aisha: Hey, pipe down in there, will ya!
  10562.  
  10563. Gene: Hmm.. suit yourself.
  10564.  
  10565. // Elsewhere...
  10566.  
  10567. Guy: Please think this through Lady Iraga. If Lord Hazanko catches wind of this, there's no
  10568. telling what he'll do. He'll stop at nothing to make sure his orders are carried through.
  10569.  
  10570. Iraga: Will you shut up! You think I'm gonna let them choose who the Strongest Woman in the
  10571. Universe is without me having something to say about it?
  10572.  
  10573. Guy 2: But thats not what we're supposed to do.
  10574.  
  10575. Iraga: I know that tubby, I'll get them both soon enough. Victory will be mine, as for that idiot
  10576. Gene Starwing, we'll be seeing the last of him.
  10577.  
  10578. Announcer: The first match of the first round in tonight's event will now begin. In the blue

  10581. Universe for 4 years running... Reiko Ando!
  10582.  
  10583. Reiko: I'll win this Tournament, nothing in the world can possibly stop me now and I'll go home
  10584. victorious after winning the Tournament for a fifth straight time as Fred's bride.
  10585.  
  10586. Fred: I feel like someone just walked over my grave. Huh? I'm begging you now Gene. Please,
  10587. you've got to win this one.
  10588.  
  10589. // The match begins.
  10590.  
  10591. Gene: Hm. This lady is built like a rock.
  10592.  
  10593. Melfina: Get in there ang go for it Gene!
  10594.  
  10595. Jim: Hey, have you forgotten about it, don't call him Gene, for today you call him Jenny.
  10596.  
  10597. Melfina: Oh, thats right.
  10598.  
  10599. // Gene dodges all of Reiko's attacks.
  10600.  
  10601. Gene: Its all part of the plan.
  10602.  
  10603. Reiko: Stand still blast you, can't you get serious?
  10604.  
  10605. Gene: No, I don't think I can.
  10606.  
  10607. Jim: He calls this a plan?
  10608.  
  10609. Suzuka: He's probably just trying to confuse her by throwing her game off so he can wear her down
  10610. by throwing her game off so he can wear her down at his own pace. Their differences in
  10611. overall strength is immense.
  10612.  
  10613. Gene: Woohoo, over here, over here.
  10614.  
  10615. Jim: Gene... I mean Jenny, stop fooling around like that.
  10616.  
  10617. // She grabs him.
  10618.  
  10619. Reiko: Hah, what happened to that terrific plan of yours?
  10620.  
  10621. Gene: Its working. By the way, your hair looks great.
  10622.  
  10623. // She slams his head to the mat.
  10624.  
  10625. -------------

  10627. Eyecatch
  10628.  
  10629. -------------
  10630.  
  10631. Melfina: Hey, I think he's coming around.
  10632.  
  10633. Gene: Where am I?
  10634.  
  10635. Melfina: The infirmary.
  10636.  
  10637. Gene: What about the match?
  10638.  
  10639. Jim: You got your butt kicked.
  10640.  
  10641. Fred: How could you humiliate me in such a way. What do you propose I do now, propose?
  10642.  
  10643. Gene: Now look, just calm down, alright?
  10644.  
  10645. Fred: How can I calm down in a time like this?
  10646.  
  10647. Gene: We still have an ace up our sleeves guys, I have a great idea.
  10648.  
  10649. // Aisha beats up competitors in the ring.
  10650.  
  10651. Aisha: Yaa! (can't figure out what she says here)
  10652.  
  10653. Announcer: And the winner is Firecat!
  10654.  
  10655. Gene: Thats the only trump hard that we have left. I'm telling you, she's a heck of a competitor.
  10656. Unfortunately, thats all she's good for.
  10657.  
  10658. Aisha: Triple reverse and prominent stomach kick!
  10659.  
  10660. Jim: She did it! She made it past the second round!
  10661.  
  10662. // Reiko does too though...
  10663.  
  10664. Gene: She's good, I'll give her that much.
  10665.  
  10666. // Later...
  10667.  
  10668. Aisha: (laughs) What a piece of cake.
  10669.  
  10670. Fred: Oh please Firecat, don't let me down now, you're the only one I can count on.
  10671.  
  10672. Aisha: Just leave it to me.
  10673.  
  10674. Gene: Yeah, just don't get caught with your tail between your legs.
  10675.  
  10676. Aisha: Well, if it isn't the delicate Ms. Jenny, the one who got her butt kicked in the first
  10677. round of her very first match!
  10678.  
  10679. Gene: Erh...
  10680.  
  10681. Melfina: The second match of the semi finals is over.
  10682.  
  10683. Gene: Oh yeah? The muscle chick ended up winning the match, right?
  10684.  
  10685. Melfina: Not exactly.
  10686.  
  10687. Suzuka: Reiko lost the match actually.
  10688.  
  10689. Gene: Say what?
  10690.  
  10691. Melfina: She lost early on, 19 seconds into the match. It was a quick win for Iraga, she's a
  10692. member of the Hokai Shadow Boxing team.
  10693.  
  10694. Gene: That is impossible!
  10695.  
  10696.  
  10697.  
  10698. Fred: Yeah! I can't believe it! This is great Gene! I don't hve to get married to Reiko!
  10699.  
  10700. Gene: Yeah, I'm really glad for you Fred.
  10701.  
  10702. Fred: This is fantastic, how bout we go out and celebrate?
  10703.  
  10704. Gene: Now the onlything I need to do is collect my pay.
  10705.  
  10706. Fred: Your pay?
  10707.  
  10708. Gene: Uh huh.
  10709.  
  10710. Fred: I thought one was to be paid when the work was successfully completed if I'm not mistaken
  10711. Gene, what exactly was it that you did to earn it? Well, I'll be looking forward to our
  10712. next encounter. Until then, take care of yourself Gene.
  10713.  
  10714. Reiko: Fred, wait a minute.
  10715.  
  10716. Fred: Well, there's really nothing to discuss Reiko.
  10717.  
  10718. Reiko: No, don't say that! I'll start over again and train harder than ever. I'll start trying
  10719. to win 5 in a row next year if you have a shred of compassion won't you find it in your
  10720. heart to atleast give me another chance?
  10721.  
  10722.  
  10723.  
  10724. Fred: Well of course I'll give you another chance, but I think you should consider taking your
  10725. time before you start training again, what do you say Reiko?
  10726.  
  10727. Reiko: Thats so nice of you Fred, always worrying like that. Ah!
  10728.  
  10729. Fred: Grr!
  10730.  
  10731. Reiko: I love you! You'll never regret this. I'll make myself worhty to become your wife.

  10738.  
  10739. Iraga: Huh? Gene Starwing, what's he doing here? Have to stay calm, the match has to come first.
  10740.  
  10741. Aisha: I hearby dedicate this match to the people of the Ctarl Ctarl. I'm gonna win this!
  10742.  
  10743. // The match begins.
  10744.  
  10745. Gene: Whats the deal, neither one of them's making a move.
  10746.  
  10747. Suzuka: I understand that 2 experienced fighters can judge their opponent's strength simply by
  10748. facing each other.
  10749.  
  10750. // They fight...
  10751.  
  10752. Aisha: You little... Ah!
  10753.  
  10754. Iraga: Ugh!
  10755.  
  10756. Gene: Check it out, she's got her pinned!
  10757.  
  10758. Jim: Take her out now Aisha!
  10759.  
  10760. Aisha: Oh yeah! Uh oh! Ah!
  10761.  
  10762. Gene: Hey Aisha, pull yourself together, I thought the Ctarl Ctarl were supposed to be
  10763. invinsible.
  10764.  
  10765. Iraga: Normally this is where I'd let you off the hock and show a little mercy, but not if you're
  10766. one of Gene Starwind's friends. You're not leaving alive.
  10767.  
  10768. Gene: Man, looks like she's gonna hurt her.
  10769.  
  10770. Jim: I know, even a Ctarl Ctarl's history if her head gets smashed in.
  10771.  
  10772. Gene: Don't do it!
  10773.  
  10774. // She is stopped by Aisha.
  10775.  
  10776. Aisha: You talk too much, you know that? You shouldn't say anything when you're about to finish
  10777. someone off.
  10778.  
  10779. Gene: Man, she really had me worried there for a second.
  10780.  
  10781. Melfina: Don't give an inch Firecat, go for it!
  10782.  
  10783. Aisha: Just leave it to me!
  10784.  
  10785. // They continue, Aisha gets a submission move on Iraga.
  10786.  
  10787. Aisha: Its all over. How do you like that? Give it up Iraga.
  10788.  
  10789. Gene: Here it comes.
  10790.  
  10791. Jim: Yeah, I don't care how strong she is, there's no way she can ever break free. Huh? No way!
  10792. If she were faster, smarter, I would understand but how is it she can be stronger than
  10793. Aisha?
  10794.  
  10795. Aisha: Huh?
  10796.  
  10797. Jim: You see that?
  10798.  
  10799. Gene: I guess she's a Ctarl Ctarl too.
  10800.  
  10801. Aisha: Its.. its you.
  10802.  
  10803. Iraga: It doesn't look like I'll be able to finish our match right away. You'll have to take a
  10804. rain check. Sorry, now to do my job. Gene Starwind, take a last look around because
  10805. you're a dead man!
  10806.  
  10807. Spectator: Ah! Its a Ctarl Ctarl!
  10808.  
  10809. Fan: Lets get the heck out of here!
  10810.  
  10811. // People rush out. Pirates are revealed around the ring that Suzuka attacks.
  10812.  
  10813. Suzuka: Who are they, pirates?
  10814.  
  10815. Gene: Beat it! Huh? Here puppy. Ah!
  10816.  
  10817. Jim: Gene, look out!
  10818.  
  10819. // She knocks him down, about to kill him when Aisha arrives.
  10820.  
  10821. Aisha: I don't really care if you're a pirate or a wolf. But I'll be darned if anyone's gonna
  10822. stand in the way of my winning this thing!
  10823.  
  10824. // She transforms too and they fight. The place is set aflame.
  10825.  
  10826. Gene: Suzuka! Aisha! Suzuka!
  10827.  
  10828. Suzuka: I'm alright.
  10829.  
  10830. Gene: I'm glad to here it.
  10831.  
  10832. Melfina: But Gene, what about Aisha?
  10833.  
  10834. Gene: Huh? Aisha, can you hear me, where are you?
  10835.  
  10836. Suzuka: Gene, lets get out of here while we still can, we'll be overcomed by the smoke if we
  10837. don't leave now.
  10838.  
  10839. Gene: What about Aisha?
  10840.  
  10841. Suzuka: Yes, I know... In her present she-wolf state, it will be impossible to see through to
  10842. her!
  10843.  
  10844. // They leave.
  10845.  
  10846. Melfina: What about Aisha? Oh no. Huh, whats that?
  10847.  
  10848. // Aisha stands over the dead body of Iraga.
  10849.  
  10850. Jim: Yeah Aisha! She's won the Tournament!
  10851.  
  10852. Melfina: Thats great!
  10853.  
  10854. Jim: She did it! She did it! She's so awesome!
  10855.  
  10856. Suzuka: The Ctarl Ctarl really are invulnerable.
  10857.  
  10858. Gene: Maybe I should stop teasing her for a while. She really proved herself to be a champion
  10859. this time.
  10860.  
  10861. // The next day...
  10862.  
  10863. Jim: I can't believe another Ctarl Ctarl snuck into the stadium without getting caught.
  10864.  
  10865. Aisha: You're wrong, the Ctarl Ctarl don't run around with low class wolves like that, thats an
  10866. insult.
  10867.  
  10868. Suzuka: I heard the Kai Pirates have an assassin in their ranks that turns into a werewolf when
  10869. she's provoked. I bet that was her.
  10870.  
  10871. Gene: A pirate, huh?
  10872.  
  10873. Jim: More to the point, what are we gonna do now Gene? We didn't get paid, and we used up all the
  10874. bounty we got.
  10875.  
  10876. Gene: I don't know, my head hurts.
  10877.  
  10878. // The phone rings.
  10879.  
  10880. Gene: Hello, Starwind and Hawking.
  10881.  
  10882. Fred: Gene.
  10883.  
  10884. Gene: Oh, its you, what do you want?
  10885.  
  10886. Fred: Oh nothing much. So it sounds like you had a little trouble after I left.
  10887.  
  10888. Gene: Listen Fred, I'm not in the mood to talk to you right now, alright?
  10889.  
  10890. Fred: Wait a minute, I was just thinking about the other promise I made too.
  10891.  
  10892. Gene: What other promise are you talking about?
  10893.  
  10894. Fred: I promised I'd lend money if you'd agreed to take on the job, remember? Well I'm keeping my
  10895. word.
  10896.  
  10897. Gene: Really?
  10898.  
  10899. Fred: I've already filled out the transfer paperwork you're going to need. You should be able to
  10900. cash it tomorrow. Is that okay? Thats it for now bon voyage.
  10901.  
  10902. Gene: Thanks Fred.
  10903.  
  10904. Jim: So whats up?
  10905.  
  10906. Gene: Jim.
  10907.  
  10908. Jim: Yeah?
  10909.  
  10910. Gene: We're going on a trip.
  10911.  
  10912. // At the space port...
  10913.  
  10914. Melfina: All systems are green. Launch clearance has been granted.
  10915.  
  10916. Aisha: Yes, we're finally going to the Galactic Leyline!
  10917.  
  10918. Gene: Okay, lets do it. Outlaw Star lifting off. We're on our way.

  10934.  
  10935. Melfina: Pirate ship showing no activity, victory is confirmed.
  10936.  
  10937. Gene: Ah, what a complete waste of ammunition. And we just set out, man.
  10938.  
  10939. Jim: This guy doesn't look like a Kai pirate or a Ban pirate.
  10940.  
  10941. Suzuka: They're probably part of a larger group that uses this area as a operations base.
  10942.  
  10943. Gene: Hmm... lets have a little fun.
  10944.  
  10945. Melfina: Anchors 1 and 2 locked.
  10946.  
  10947. Gene: I'm gonna make them pay us back for all the ammo that we used.
  10948.  
  10949. Jim: Not to mention raid their gally for all the trouble they caused us.
  10950.  
  10951. Aisha: (laughs) Who's the pirate now?
  10952.  
  10953. Gene: Hey, we're the good guys and don't you forget it. Our incomes a little unstable, thats all,
  10954. consider this overtime.
  10955.  
  10956. Melfina: Hold on Gene.
  10957.  
  10958. Gene: Huh?
  10959.  
  10960. Melfina: 3 ships are closing in quickly from behind the satellite to aft.
  10961.  
  10962. Gene: What, do they have more friends?
  10963.  
  10964. Melfina: It doesn't look that way. Now enlarging.
  10965.  
  10966. Doose: You 2 ships there, hold it!
  10967.  
  10968. Gene: What?!
  10969.  
  10970. Doose: This is a patrol ship Straight 4 currently guarding this area of the Heiphong System.
  10971. Disarm yourselves and surrender your vessel at once.
  10972.  
  10973. Jim: Hey, its a security forces's warship.

  10984. follow section alpha's instructions, scheduled change.
  10985.  
  10986. Loudspeaker(2nd voice): Attention security forces. Red pirate ship is being locked down in
  10987. dock 4.
  10988.  
  10989. Gene: A red pirate ship, huh? Man, these public servants sure like to peg you right off the bat,
  10990. don't they?
  10991.  
  10992. Loudspeaker: Now locking down.
  10993.  
  10994. // The Outlaw Star is locked down.
  10995.  
  10996. Gene: Ugh. You morons.
  10997.  
  10998. Doose: Attention Outlaw Star. Your crew is to disarm immediately and proceed to the designated
  10999. deck on level 2.
  11000.  
  11001. Gene: Ah. You'll be okay, Gilliam?
  11002.  
  11003. Gilliam: Don't worry about me Gene, I'll be waiting right here.
  11004.  
  11005. // They are brought to level 2 and are frisked.
  11006.  
  11007. Gene: Hey pal, if its all the same to you, I'd rather be talking to that lady over there.
  11008.  
  11009.  
  11010.  
  11011. Guard: Whip that grin off your face. Whatever you're thinking, forget about it, we're not a
  11012. bunch of suckers on this station. Ok, next.
  11013.  
  11014. Gene: Huh? This place is bizarre.
  11015.  
  11016. Melfina: Gene, this is strange.
  11017.  
  11018. Gene: What is it?
  11019.  
  11020. Melfina: I took the liberty of going through the data we took from the pirate ship's AI a little
  11021. while ago. Its pretty fragmented, but I was able to determine that their operations
  11022. time sequence is clearly set to this space station.
  11023.  
  11024. Gene: Really to this station? So what does this mean?
  11025.  
  11026. Melfina: I'm not sure but they're planning something.
  11027.  
  11028. Female Guard: Body checks complete.
  11029.  
  11030. Guard: Alright, c'mon this way you pirate scum and hop to it.
  11031.  
  11032. Gene: I'm telling you, we're not pirates.
  11033.  
  11034. Guard: yeah, thats what they all say.
  11035.  
  11036. Gene: Right, yeah whatever buddy.
  11037.  
  11038. // They are brought to a darkly lit room.
  11039.  
  11040. Jim: I guess men and women are handled seperately.
  11041.  
  11042. Gene: I wish they'd give us some coffee or something.
  11043.  
  11044. Doose: Gene Starwind. Thats one impressive ship for an innocent civilian with no alterior
  11045. motives.
  11046.  
  11047. Gene: My father was an interplanetary trader who insisted on only the best. It was one of his
  11048. ships. She's registered out of Blue Heaven. I told you, its legit.
  11049.  
  11050. Doose: A simple trader with a Grappler Ship? What do you say we cut the crap right now?
  11051.  
  11052. Gene: Shut your trap! I run a legitimate business and I don't need approval from you. Blast it,
  11053. you're that guy from the patrol ship aren't ya? Try saying that to my face!
  11054.  
  11055. Doose: Very well. I hope I don't alarm you.
  11056.  
  11057. // The door opens and he comes in.
  11058.  
  11059.  
  11060.  
  11061. Gene: Huh? What is this, whats with the lizard suit?
  11062.  
  11063. Doose: I'd prefer you call me Doose. I'm the technical officer for the security service forces
  11064. better known as Angel Links.
  11065.  
  11066.  
  11067.  
  11068.  
  11069. Jim: He's a Saurian. I've never seen one before. They were created through genetic engineering.
  11070.  
  11071. Gene: You're kidding me, genetics? You mean this guy's from the Jurassic Period?
  11072.  
  11073. Doose: Eh?
  11074.  
  11075. Valeria: My name's Valeria, his collegue. We're really members of a special security service
  11076. that have been selected out of the Aurascion system. We've been stationed here as part
  11077. of our security duties. I was just doing a routine reconniscense when I happened to come
  11078. across you and that other ship in the middle of a fight.
  11079.  
  11080. Gene: I'll admit that you caught me there with my guard down. But lets discuss that later. You
  11081. were there, you saw the other wreckage didn't ya? Those guys are the pirates. We're the
  11082. good guys that took them down Valeria, you should be thanking us instead.
  11083.  
  11084. Jim: Yep, thats right.
  11085.  
  11086. Valeria: Hmm... Starwind. I see you're the young outlaw who's been making a name for himself in
  11087. Heiphong lately. I'd seen a video of you and your spaceship in action.
  11088.  
  11089. Gene: Well, what'd you think of it?
  11090.  
  11091. Jim: Easy there, lets just chill out now, okay?
  11092.  
  11093. Valeria: So whats a guy like you doing in this part of space, just cruising around?
  11094.  
  11095. Gene: What if I tell you I'm out on a treasure hunt?
  11096.  
  11097. Valeria: I'd tell you that you're looking too hard. This sector's crawling with Pirates looking
  11098. for treasure all the time. You really think that you're gonna be the lucky one to find
  11099. it this time?
  11100.  
  11101. Gene: I've been known to get lucky from time to time. Besides, I'm up to my ears in debt.
  11102.  
  11103. Valeria: From my experience, your Grappler ship has equipment thats on par with a pirate ship.
  11104. Seems to me you should have come up with something big by now.
  11105.  
  11106. Doose: Hm. I don't care how much he peddles on about being an outlaw, he's just a degenerate
  11107. mammal punk. My guess is that he was smuggling something all along.
  11108.  
  11109. Gene: Thats crap. I knew I'd be treated unfairly by you security people. But I never thought I'd
  11110. be accused of being a pirate from some fascist lizard.
  11111.  
  11112. // Doose punches him in the face.
  11113.  
  11114. Jim: Ah!
  11115.  
  11116. Gene: Ugh!
  11117.  
  11118. Jim: You okay?
  11119.  
  11120. Valeria: Doose!
  11121.  
  11122. Gene: Ugh. Nice shot.
  11123.  
  11124. Doose: Next time it won't be such a love tap, space boy. I don't let anyone get away with bad
  11125. mouthing us.
  11126.  
  11127. Gene: And I don't let cheap shots slide by either pal. C'mon.
  11128.  
  11129. Valeria: Thats enough Doose, you better watch it.
  11130.  
  11131. Jim: What are you doing Gene, calm down!
  11132.  
  11133. Doose: People who call themselves outlaws are nothing more than lowly criminals to me.
  11134.  
  11135. Valeria: Doose.
  11136.  
  11137. Gene: Do a background check if you want. And then you should spend some more time on worrying
  11138. about the real pirates you caught and not us.
  11139.  
  11140. Valeria: Oh yeah? What are you talking about?
  11141.  
  11142. Gene: I'm saying that they came in here because they're planning on attacking your fleet.
  11143.  
  11144. Doose: Hah! With just one ship? They'll be up against a heavily guarded naval port.
  11145.  
  11146. Valeria: And what brings you to that conclusion?
  11147.  
  11148. Gene: While we were engaged in the fight with the pirates our navigator was able to retrieve some
  11149. files from their AI.
  11150.  
  11151. Doose: How can he find pirate's files? I was under the impression that they were all deleted.
  11152. Even if its true, it doesn't let you off the hook, we can still detain you as long as we
  11153. want.
  11154.  
  11155. Gene: My, how noble of you. Aren't you the very model of an officer of law and order.
  11156.  
  11157. Doose: I pride myself on it.
  11158.  
  11159. Valeria: Doose, wait. Just to be on the safe side, don't you think we should interrogate those
  11160. other pirates?
  11161.  
  11162. Doose: Fine, as you wish. But I want Starwind's ship disarmed at once. And then I want it
  11163. inspected thoroughly.
  11164.  
  11165. Assistant: Yes sir!
  11166.  
  11167. Jim: I've always heard that Saurians are reptilian dimwits.
  11168.  
  11169. Doose: You heard wrong. I come from a strong race of people with a warrior's pride. We believe in
  11170. loyalty and honor, but I guess thats something that criminals like you wouldn't
  11171. understand.
  11172.  
  11173. // Later...
  11174.  
  11175. Aisha: Ah, this is taking forever.
  11176.  
  11177. Guard: Get in there!
  11178.  
  11179. Melfina: Gene, your face!
  11180.  
  11181. Gene: Its alright, don't worry about it. So whats going to happen now, Ms. Officer? You want to
  11182. ruff me up for a while?
  11183.  
  11184. Valeria: Sorry to dissappoint you, but we'll have to detain you for a while. Its an emergency so
  11185. don't take it personally.
  11186.  
  11187. Gene: Well I do.
  11188.  
  11189. Valeria: I want all of you to see this.
  11190.  
  11191. Gene: See what?
  11192.  
  11193. // A screen of another ship is put up.
  11194.  
  11195. Valeria: Its a civilian ship that will be docking soon. Its called the Midsummer Night's Queen.
  11196.  
  11197. // Pics show it in bad shape.
  11198.  
  11199. Suzuka: And this was caused by a pirates ambush?
  11200.  
  11201. Valeria: Yes. By the time we received their SOS, it was too late.
  11202.  
  11203. Aisha: They destroyed everyone?
  11204.  
  11205. Valeria: There were only 128 survivors, ten percent of her passengers.
  11206.  
  11207. Jim: Gene!
  11208.  
  11209. Gene: Who the heck did this, what a mess!
  11210.  
  11211. Valeria: Does this remind you of the incident with your father 5 years ago?
  11212.  
  11213. Gene: Hmm. Thats some background. You even have old news stories on file.
  11214.  
  11215. Valeria: Our job is to guard the fronteir and all the surrounding areas. We make sure to keep
  11216. thorough records on espionage to petty smuggling.
  11217.  
  11218. Gene: I just can't stand pirates.
  11219.  
  11220. Valeria: Neither can we.
  11221.  
  11222. Suzuka: Hmm. They seem to be from the same Pirate group that we fought earlier.
  11223.  
  11224. Valeria: Very observant.
  11225.  
  11226. Suzuka: Aobut somethings, on the fronteir you tend to develop a sixth sense about danger.
  11227.  
  11228. Valeria: These pirates are notorious around the fronteir region. They sometimes even try to make
  11229. a move on us. They look down on us because we're security.
  11230.  
  11231. Gene: You see? Then you should atleast go over those files.
  11232.  
  11233. Melfina: Its just a file on their operations time table. But you can retrieve the data from our
  11234. ship if you want.
  11235.  
  11236. Valeria: I'll give it some consideration. I'll also consider the fact that you people are
  11237. possibly security risks.
  11238.  
  11239. Gene: You're one shrewd lady. Not that much different from the lizard.
  11240.  
  11241. Valeria: Hmm.
  11242.  
  11243. Loudspeaker: The Midsummer Night's Queen is now docking. All sections take your stations at
  11244. once.
  11245.  
  11246. Valeria: I'll see you later then.
  11247.  
  11248. Loudspeaker: Attention berthing crew. Preprare temporary berth number 5. Be advised that the
  11249. vessel's hull has some considerable damage. Use extra caution when attaching cables.
  11250.  
  11251. Technician: Rescue team Titan please stand by for deployment. Retrieve all civilians from the
  11252. ship giving special priority to the wounded.
  11253.  
  11254. Worker: Valeria, about those people from the red pirate ship. They're small fries right, we're
  11255. not gonna make anything off of them.
  11256.  
  11257. Valeria: There's more to the private security forces than money if thats what you're saying.
  11258.  
  11259. Worker: Did I say that? I need your signature here.
  11260.  
  11261. Valeria: Receiving message. Can you include this on your report for the next ferry on Aurascion?
  11262.  
  11263. Technician2: Roger.
  11264.  
  11265. Worker: What about the other ship?
  11266.  
  11267. Valeria: Doose will have a little chat with them. Its okay, they'll be talking soon enough. This
  11268. is more important.
  11269.  
  11270. Technician2: The pathway is clear, youo can let her in.
  11271.  
  11272. Valeria: You better get started with that second check.
  11273.  
  11274. Worker: Whats going on?
  11275.  
  11276. Loudspeaker: Temporary bay 5. Prepare to pressurize. Gate link connection complete. Prepare to
  11277. retrieve all civilians at once.
  11278.  
  11279. // They rush in.
  11280.  
  11281. Doctor: Please everyone, remain calm. Let the wounded on first!
  11282.  
  11283. Guard: The area's off limits!
  11284.  
  11285. Guard2: Its a secure military installation!
  11286.  
  11287. // Meanwhile...
  11288.  
  11289. Gene: Hey, we're hungry in here! Give me a bacon and egg sandwich on wheat!
  11290.  
  11291. Jim: I'll have a cheeseburder with fries!
  11292.  
  11293. Aisha: I'll have the blue plate special!
  11294.  
  11295.  
  11296.  
  11297. Suzuka: And broiled eel with some Mitsu soup on the side.
  11298.  
  11299. Gene: Yeah, and I'll have an egg drop soup to start. Shoot, darn lizard man. Trying to break us
  11300. by starving us to death stinks.
  11301.  
  11302. Jim: We're powerless against a military industrial complex like this Gene.
  11303.  
  11304. Gene: I'm not ready to give up. Just you wait, give me a chance and I'll take 'em down a notch
  11305. or two.
  11306.  
  11307. // There's an explosion.
  11308.  
  11309. Jim: Ah!
  11310.  
  11311. Gene: Hey, what was that, what the hecks going on?
  11312.  
  11313. --------
  11314.  
  11315. Eyecatch
  11316.  
  11317. --------
  11318.  
  11319. // Missiles come out of the Midsummer's Night Queen.
  11320.  
  11321. Female Technician: Missiles inbound from civilian craft.
  11322.  
  11323. Technician: Multiple explosions in central dock. Partial damage to ships.
  11324.  
  11325. Valeria: Is this some kind of pirate trap?
  11326.  
  11327. Doctor: Come in control room! The civilians are armed! ah!
  11328.  
  11329. Valeria: No! Its a disaster! The pirates have landed and infiltrated thei ship's main room. All
  11330. hands report to stations immediately.
  11331.  
  11332. // Meanwhile...
  11333.  
  11334. Gene: It may be a naval station but they'r helpless if they're attacked from the inside.
  11335.  
  11336. Jim: They really thought this through.
  11337.  
  11338. Guard: Freeze. I knew you people were working with them the whole time.
  11339.  
  11340. Gene: Woah, take it easy there guys, we're no tthe pirates, we're the...
  11341.  
  11342. // Aisha and Suzuka take out the guards.
  11343.  
  11344. Gene: Hey yeah, nice move.
  11345.  
  11346. Aisha: Yeah!
  11347.  
  11348. Suzuka: Lets not waste anytime.
  11349.  
  11350. Valeria: If this doesn't let up, we'll all be trapped.
  11351.  
  11352. Technician: Enemy spotted on range 4.
  11353.  
  11354. Valeria: What?
  11355.  
  11356. Technician: One carrier and 3 grappler are closing in.
  11357.  
  11358. Female Technician: Gun turrets 7, 9 and 11 are failing to respond.
  11359.  
  11360. Technician: All dock hatches...
  11361.  
  11362. Valeria: This is straight force, where is Doose? Why can't you reach him? OK, fine, then I'll go.
  11363.  
  11364. // They make their way through the place.
  11365.  
  11366. Gene: Not again.
  11367.  
  11368. Jim: The pressure's okay on the other side so is the gravity.
  11369.  
  11370. Gene: Aisha, you're on.
  11371.  
  11372. Aisha: Leave it to me guys, Erh...
  11373.  
  11374. // She opens the door.
  11375.  
  11376. Gene: Ah man this looks bad. Hm? Whats that?
  11377.  
  11378. Jim: Look! Its the dino guy with the security forces!
  11379.  
  11380. // He's trapped under a collapsed ceiling.
  11381.  
  11382. Gene: Oh man.
  11383.  
  11384. Aisha: Poor old guy (some other language prayer)
  11385.  
  11386. Doose: I'm not dead yet, help me out of this!
  11387.  
  11388. Jim: He's alive. What should we do?
  11389.  
  11390. Doose: You're trying to escape now, aren't you? You dirty criminals.
  11391.  
  11392. Gene: Let you remind you Doose that we're just plain civilians. We're supposed to be evacuated
  11393. first in case of an emergency.
  11394.  
  11395. Doose: What did you wretched outlaws do to your guards?
  11396.  
  11397. Gene: Huh?
  11398.  
  11399. // They push a pipe underneath the rock to get him out.
  11400.  
  11401. Doose: Hey, what are you doing now?
  11402.  
  11403. Suzuka: How generous of you.
  11404.  
  11405. Gene: Well thank you. Lets do it.
  11406.  
  11407. Doose: Okay.
  11408.  
  11409. // He gets out.
  11410.  
  11411. Doose: Why did you save me?
  11412.  
  11413. Gene: Eh... it was just my pride.
  11414.  
  11415. Doose: Your pride huh? What would you know about pride?
  11416.  
  11417. Gene: A beautiful woman once told me that there are 3 powers in space that I will confront.
  11418.  
  11419. Doose: What 3 powers?
  11420.  
  11421. Gene: First the pirates, the military and of course the outlaws.
  11422.  
  11423. Doose: Hey come back here!
  11424.  
  11425. Gene: See ya later. Been a lot of fun.
  11426.  
  11427. Valeria: As long as we can use our missiles. If we don't get rid of that civilian ship we'll be
  11428. wiped out.
  11429.  
  11430. Technician3: Its no use. We'll have to clear all the debree out of the way first.
  11431.  
  11432. Valeria: I thought soldiers were good at improvising.
  11433.  
  11434. Doose: Valeria.
  11435.  
  11436. Valeria: Doose, are you alright?
  11437.  
  11438. Doose: I'm sorry, it seems I was careless.
  11439.  
  11440. Valeria: Can't you make your way up here? Isn't terrorism your field of expertise?
  11441.  
  11442. Doose: Affirmative. That red haired outlaw is on his way there right now, be careful.
  11443.  
  11444. Valeria: Gene Starwind?
  11445.  
  11446. // Meanwhile...
  11447.  
  11448. Pirate: Who the heck are ya?
  11449.  
  11450. // Suzuka takes care of them.
  11451.  
  11452. Suzuka: Thats one way to get them to pipe down.
  11453.  
  11454. Gene: Suzuka, the ship is this way.
  11455.  
  11456. Gilliam: What are you doing back so soon?
  11457.  
  11458. Gene: Gilliam, whats the status?
  11459.  
  11460. Gilliam: They said I was to be disarmed so all live rounds and ammunition have been removed. The
  11461. only usable firearm is in the blaster.
  11462.  
  11463. Gene: How very thoughtful of them. Ugh. Can you move?
  11464.  
  11465. Gilliam: My propulsion systems are intact, but with that steel frame on me...
  11466.  
  11467. Gene: Well c'mon, you have arms you can use, don't you? Lets do it!
  11468.  
  11469. Technician3: It appears the red pirate ship has started up.
  11470.  
  11471. Valeria: Gene Starwind, are you there? What are you doing?
  11472.  
  11473. Gene: Take a guess.
  11474.  
  11475. Jim: We're skipping out of here. What do you think lady?
  11476.  
  11477. Aisha: While you're busy fire fighting we're getting out of here.
  11478.  
  11479. Gene: No, I'm afraid I can't do that guys.
  11480.  
  11481. Jim: What are you planning on doing then?
  11482.  
  11483. // They blast the ship to bits.
  11484.  
  11485. Gene: Work teams don't just sit there! Lets get that frame cleared out of the way.
  11486.  
  11487. Valeria: Oh Gene, you're helping us? Why are you doing this?
  11488.  
  11489. Gene: I guess I just don't have the guts to live my life as a wanted man. I've figured that it
  11490. was more important to lend a hand to those work teams over there. It was the least I could
  11491. do.
  11492.  
  11493. Valeria: I appreciate it. Well Mr. Starwind, do you think you can buy us enough time to get us
  11494. out of here?
  11495.  
  11496. Gene: Well, thats something else entirely. Are you offering this outlaw some kind of job
  11497. Ms. Military?
  11498.  
  11499. Valeria: Alright, a job then. But I'll be expecting more from an outlaw.
  11500.  
  11501. Gene: (laughs) Give us your data on the enemy.
  11502.  
  11503. Valeria: We'll find some way to show our appreciation later.
  11504.  
  11505. Doose: Valeria! You're sending that low life outlaw free to do as he pleases?
  11506.  
  11507. Valeria: Prepare to launch! And don't waste any time.
  11508.  
  11509. Gene: Shoot, I scrapped the new paint job.
  11510.  
  11511. Melfina: Grappler Ships incoming.
  11512.  
  11513. Gene: Do not mess with me! All internal controllers to full. Lets go!
  11514.  
  11515. Melfina: Assault anchors on continous control.
  11516.  
  11517. Gene: Okay!
  11518.  
  11519. Melfina: Cut Number 4 and Number 2.
  11520.  
  11521. Gene: Those things are expensive you know.
  11522.  
  11523. Melfina: Number 3 locked.
  11524.  
  11525. Aisha: Yes, we got them!
  11526.  
  11527. Melfina: Taking control of enemy computer.
  11528.  
  11529. Gene: Hows this?
  11530.  
  11531. // He blasts the ship.
  11532.  
  11533. Melfina: Huh? Multiple missiles incoming!
  11534.  
  11535. Gene: From both sides at once!? Can you dodge them?
  11536.  
  11537. Melfina: I can't dodge them all! 20% of them will impact.
  11538.  
  11539. Gene: Come up with something!
  11540.  
  11541. Jim: You got it, give me a sec.
  11542.  
  11543. Gene: All yours.
  11544.  
  11545. Aisha: Ah!
  11546.  
  11547. // The missiles miss.
  11548.  
  11549. Aisha: What in the worlds going on?
  11550.  
  11551. Jim: Hah hah. I just sabotaged their main frame computer by remote control.
  11552.  
  11553. Aisha: You're a genius Jim.
  11554.  
  11555. Gene: Way to go buddy.
  11556.  
  11557. Jim: I couldn't have done it without Melfina.
  11558.  
  11559. Melfina: 2 enemy ships coming in.
  11560.  
  11561. Gene: Only 2 anchors left, isn't that right?
  11562.  
  11563. Melfina: Launching anchors number 5 and 6.
  11564.  
  11565. Gene: We're going in. Yeah! Eat this! Your powers about the same, huh?
  11566.  
  11567. Melfina: Ugh! The other ship's coming in now!
  11568.  
  11569. Jim: I think we're in trouble Gene.
  11570.  
  11571. Gilliam: Be careful Gene. I'm being accessed by the enemy ship's main computer.
  11572.  
  11573. // The ship is blown up.
  11574.  
  11575. Gene: Hey, what the?
  11576.  
  11577. Doose: Looks like we made it just in time.
  11578.  
  11579. Gene: Its that lizard!
  11580.  
  11581. Valeria: Gene, its okay. Let us be the one to handle the carrier, alright?
  11582.  
  11583. Doose: Hey boy, you said something about there being 3 powers that exist in space. Alright step
  11584. aside then and I'll show you what the might of the military's power looks like. All ships
  11585. commence your barge!
  11586.  
  11587. // They destroy the pirate ships.
  11588.  
  11589. Gene: Now thats impressive.
  11590.  
  11591. Doose: Whats the matter boy, do you need me to finish the job for ya?
  11592.  
  11593. Gene: Hah, watch me. Now you lose!
  11594.  
  11595. // He destroys the ship. Later...
  11596.  
  11597. Valeria: We've returned the ammunition we've confiscated. So all thats left is your job fee.
  11598. You'll take dragonite I hope.
  11599.  
  11600. Jim: That'll do just fine. Thanks a lot.
  11601.  
  11602. Valeria: One more thing.
  11603.  
  11604. Gene: What do you mean one more thing?
  11605.  
  11606. Valeria: Have you heard anything about the military's involvement in the core system's developing
  11607. a grappler ship called XGP? Just wondering.
  11608.  
  11609. Gene: Hmm.
  11610.  
  11611. Doose: Why don't you just drop it Valeria, we didn't encounter any counterfeit registry data.
  11612. Part of our information was scrambled thanks to those pirates we ran into. Thats why I'm
  11613. asking you to just leave it at that, understand?
  11614.  
  11615. Valeria: Hmm. Okay, I see. Well it seems that this is a pride issue, I got it. Alright, your
  11616. forgiven you a safe face.
  11617.  
  11618. Jim: Alright, we'

  11630. Narrator: Subject, Jim Hawking, Jim to his friends. Age, 11. Height, 140 cm. Weight, 32kg. Blood
  11631. Type A. A boy genius, he is the son of a renowned hacker known as the computer wizard.
  11632. The cautious type, Jim is Gene Starwind's polar opposite. Jim always carries a
  11633. computer with him and dilligently keeps a close eye on profitable information and
  11634. enemy movement. He is a quick thinker yet he is also very outgoing in his actions. Jim
  11635. displays many precosous traits that are anything but childlike. Although occassionally
  11636. victimized and tormented by Gene's inability to plan ahead, Jim has not abandoned him.
  11637. And judging by the way he manages Gene, Jim clearly looks up to him.
  11638.  
  11639. Gene: Well thats understandable.
  11640.  
  11641. Jim: Anyway, I'm totally the kinda guy needed around here to keep Gene's bachelor lifestyle from
  11642. crashing down around his ears.
  11643.  
  11644. Gene: Hey, stop making things up!
  11645.  
  11646. Jim: Well thats my cue to leave!
  11647.  
  11648. Gilliam: I would also like to ask that you do not disturb my job.
  11649.  
  11650. Jim: Right!
  11651.  
  11652. // On the ship...
  11653.  
  11654. Gilliam: We are navigating under uncommonly safe conditions. There is no unusual activity to
  11655. report outside or inside the ship. Estimated time of arrival at transport station Symka
  11656. 5, 30 minutes.
  11657.  
  11658. Aisha: An uneventful trip might be a bit of welcome relief to you guys, but it sure doesn't leave
  11659. much excitement for a live wire like me you know.
  11660.  
  11661. Jim: It could just be a simple matter of one coincidence after another, but this is a weird crew
  11662. we collected.
  11663.  
  11664. Aisha: Hey, I heard that Jim. A child barely out of diapers like you shouldn't be insulting a
  11665. woman whos mature and worldly.
  11666.  
  11667. Jim: You heard me?
  11668.  
  11669. Aisha: You better believe it. The best ears in the whole universe are that of the Ctarl Ctarl.
  11670.  
  11671.  
  11672.  
  11673. Jim: No way.
  11674.  
  11675. Aisha: Now thats a good boy Jim.
  11676.  
  11677. Jim: Yeah, I think I'm just beginning to understand just what it really means to upset you Ctarl
  11678. Ctarl, I wouldn't want to do that.
  11679.  
  11680. Aisha: Mmm hmm. Thats a sure sign of you becoming a young man.
  11681.  
  11682. Jim: Right, whatever you say.
  11683.  
  11684. Melfina: Jim and Aisha get along so well, its like they're really family.
  11685.  
  11686. Gene: Hmm? Family?
  11687.  
  11688. Suzuka: Mm. This tea is delicous.
  11689.  
  11690. Gilliam: I've detected a ship in the proximity and its rapidly approaching us. I've made
  11691. several attempts to hail it, but it is not responding to our signal.
  11692.  
  11693. Gene: An enemy ship!

  11699. ----------------
  11700.  
  11701. Gene: Why didn't you spot it earlier?
  11702.  
  11703. Gilliam: I can only surmize that the craft is using some method to evade my sensor system.
  11704.  
  11705. Gene: Or in other words, you're simply without a clue, right?
  11706.  
  11707. Gilliam: Unfortunately...
  11708.  
  11709. Gene: Erh.
  11710.  
  11711. Jim; Uh oh Gene, that ship's almost on our butt!
  11712.  
  11713. Gene: Go to grappler combat mode.
  11714.  
  11715. Gilliam: I'm receiving a signal from the other ship.
  11716.  
  11717. Gene: Put it on.
  11718.  
  11719. Mata: You're Gene Starwind of the Outlaw Star? Nothing personal, but I'm here to kill you.
  11720.  
  11721. Jim: It's an enemy ship.
  11722.  
  11723. Gene: Could that be one of our old pirate buddies out there?
  11724.  
  11725. Jim: Probably. The ship's in firing range now Mr. Popular.
  11726.  
  11727. Gene: Well, lets blow some hot kisses to my devoted fan.
  11728.  
  11729. Jim: Launching missiles.
  11730.  
  11731. // The enemy does too.
  11732.  
  11733. Jim: Its a decoy!
  11734.  
  11735. Gene: Well you bastard, if its a grappler fight you're itching on, you sure came to the right guy.
  11736.  
  11737. // The fight continues...
  11738.  
  11739. Gene: This punk's not so darned tough.
  11740.  
  11741. // The ship's grappler arms break off and attack.
  11742.  
  11743. Gene: What the?!
  11744.  
  11745. Kemy: Mata, this guy's a wimp.
  11746.  
  11747. Mata: C'mon, lets finish him off.
  11748.  
  11749. Aisha: What the heck's going on?
  11750.  
  11751. Gilliam: Warning, pressure levels are rising through out the ship. If they continue to escalate,
  11752. remaining in combat is not advised.
  11753.  
  11754. Gene: Yeah, I know that. But these guys are just too quick and hard to out manuever. The
  11755. fighting capabilities of the Outlaw Star aren't cut out for this. There is one chance.
  11756. If I could only find an opening. Jim, on my signal I want you to give them everything we've
  11757. got.
  11758.  
  11759. Jim: One last resort coming up.
  11760.  
  11761. Suzuka: Last resort?
  11762.  
  11763. // They shoot all their missiles then run away.
  11764.  
  11765. Gene: Ugh... that was too close.
  11766.  
  11767. Aisha: So your last resort was to run away? What cowards.
  11768.  
  11769. Gene: Hey, you're alive, aren't you? Gee, I'd appreciate a little more gratitude here.
  11770.  
  11771. Jim: If you consider that we survived than we haven't really lost.
  11772.  
  11773. Aisha: Oh you two.
  11774.  
  11775. Melfina: Well you certainly make a good team.
  11776.  
  11777. Gene: Well now Melfina thanks but its no big deal you know (laughs)
  11778.  
  11779. Jim: Somehow it doesn't seem to me like being called a team with Gene is so great.
  11780.  
  11781. Gene: Is thta right James, what is that supposed to mean?
  11782.  
  11783. Jim: Huh, what do you mean?
  11784.  
  11785. Gene: Seems you and I need to have a little chat about a few things.
  11786.  
  11787. Jim: Oh no we don't.
  11788.  
  11789. Gene: Yes we do.
  11790.  
  11791. Gilliam: Ladies and Gentlemen, we will be arriving at Symka 5 momentarily.
  11792.  
  11793. // They get there.
  11794.  
  11795. Jim: Well should we go see about repairs and weaponry?
  11796.  
  11797. Gene: Yeah.
  11798.  
  11799. Melfina: Hey, where's Suzuka?
  11800.  
  11801. Aisha: Suzu mentioned that she was gonna take a nap.
  11802.  
  11803. Gene: Yeah, she has a lot of difficulty working as a team.
  11804.  
  11805. Jim: Right, maybe but she's not the only one.
  11806.  
  11807. Aisha: Well I don't know about you guys, but I'm gonna go find some fun.
  11808.  
  11809. Gene: Another one who just can't work as a team.
  11810.  
  11811. Jim: yeah, like you're one to talk Gene. Hmph.
  11812.  
  11813. Gene: Yeah, whatever.
  11814.  
  11815. // Later...
  11816.  
  11817. Repair Guy: You're kidding, you want me to fix everything and get you weapons on a budget like
  11818. this?
  11819.  
  11820. Jim: We were hoping we could work out a deal of some kind.
  11821.  
  11822. Repair Guy: If you could do some of the labor yourselves I can give you a discount.
  11823.  
  11824. Jim: What do we do?
  11825.  
  11826. Gene: Like we have a choice. Go ahead and start on the repairs for now.
  11827.  
  11828. Jim: Mister, don't cut any corners either. We can tell you're good, just by looking at the
  11829. equipment you got.
  11830.  
  11831. Repair Guy: Okay then, fill out the paperwork and I'll jump right on it.
  11832.  
  11833. Jim: Alright, thanks.
  11834.  
  11835. // As they leave...
  11836.  
  11837. Gene: That other ship might be on this station too.
  11838.  
  11839. Jim: Then shouldn't we look for it?
  11840.  
  11841. Gene: Nah, if they come at us I'll cut 'em down.
  11842.  
  11843. Jim: Oh, pretty sure of yourself, aren't you. Or maybe you're just lazy.
  11844.  
  11845. Gene: Say what?!
  11846.  
  11847. Jim: You know what I'm saying, we have to remember to keep our guard up. Right, Gene?
  11848.  
  11849. Gene: Yeah, and one more thing... I'm gonna go out and party! Hah hah, a couple of drinks will
  11850. help me unwind.
  11851.  
  11852. Jim: I'm not kidding Gene, I'm really worried about ya.
  11853.  
  11854. Gene: C'mon, lighten up partner. I need to have a little fun.
  11855.  
  11856. Jim: Suit yourself, Melfina would you please tag along with this idiot here and keep him out of
  11857. trouble?
  11858.  
  11859. Melfina: Sure.
  11860.  
  11861. Gene: Huh, wha... wait a minute, I was talking about going out alone.
  11862.  
  11863. Jim: Bang.
  11864.  
  11865. // There...
  11866.  
  11867. Gene: What did I do to deserve this... do you want anything else?
  11868.  
  11869. Melfina: Oh this desert is plenty for me thank you.
  11870.  
  11871. Gene: Yep, thats great, glad to hear it Melfina.
  11872.  
  11873.  
  11874.  
  11875. // Back on Outlaw Star...
  11876.  
  11877. Jim: How come I'm always the one who gets stuck doing everything around here?
  11878.  
  11879. Gilliam: Its rough, isn't it Jim?
  11880.  
  11881. Jim: Hey thanks a lot Gilliam, you know you're the only one who notices how much I bust my butt?
  11882.  
  11883. Gilliam: I have the combat data on the enemy vessel.
  11884.  
  11885. Jim: Without a strategy we're not gonna beat that other ship. Gene never plans ahead, he makes
  11886. it up as it goes. But this time its all up to me.
  11887.  
  11888. Gilliam: Shall I brew up a pot of coffee for you?
  11889.  
  11890. Jim: Sure, sounds great.
  11891.  
  11892. // Later...
  11893.  
  11894. Jim: (yawns)
  11895.  
  11896. Gilliam: Jim, its already morning, perhaps you should take a break.
  11897.  
  11898. Jim: Man, I'm exhausted but I can't go to bed yet. Guess a breath of fresh air might do me good.
  11899.  
  11900. // He wanders around outside.
  11901.  
  11902. Jim: Hmm? Wha? Wow, you don't see many cats on spacestations. Hey, come here little kitty. Ah,
  11903. thats a good kitty cat, aw there you go. Boy, you guys really like that huh? Oh? Hey, wait
  11904. a minute guys don't you want to play some more?
  11905.  
  11906. // They run off.

  11913.  
  11914. Hanmio: They are. Why do you want to know?
  11915.  
  11916. Jim: Uh... no reason, just wondering.
  11917.  
  11918. Hanmio: Just wondering?
  11919.  
  11920. Jim: Mm. Maybe I was just trying to talk to you, is that alright?
  11921.  
  11922. Hanmio: Why, do you like me or something?
  11923.  
  11924. Jim: Uh... no I didn't mean it like that, well maybe I do.
  11925.  
  11926. Hanmio: Hmm?
  11927.  
  11928.  
  11929.

  11931.  
  11932. Hanmio: Oh no, just passing through on a trip.
  11933.  
  11934. Jim: So you're travelling with your kats?
  11935.  
  11936. Hanmio: Yeah, this is Mata and Kemy.
  11937.  
  11938. Jim: So whats your name?
  11939.  
  11940. Hanmio: Oh sorry, my name's Hanmio.
  11941.  
  11942. Jim: My name's Jim Hawking. I'm on a trip too, I just stopped off here at the station for a
  11943. while.
  11944.  
  11945. Hanmio: Oh wow, then its fate!
  11946.  
  11947. Jim: Huh?
  11948.  
  11949. Hanmio: Don't you see, we were supposed to meet. What are the chances that both our ships would
  11950. stop here? It was fate Jim.
  11951.  
  11952. Jim: Fate? I guess so.
  11953.  
  11954. Hanmio: Well I have to go back and feed the kitties.
  11955.  
  11956. Jim: Uh... well can you come back again this afternoon?

  11972. Jim: Yeah, thanks. So where's Gene?
  11973.  
  11974. Melfina: Still sleeping. He drank an awful lot of liquor yesterday.
  11975.  
  11976. Jim: But Melfina, what went wrong? You were supposed to keep an eye on him.
  11977.  
  11978. Melfina: Yes, I tried to stop him but when I did he started drinking even more.
  11979.  
  11980. Jim: Sounds like Gene.
  11981.  
  11982. Gene: What does?
  11983.  
  11984. Jim: Hmph, good morning sunshine. There's an inspirational image. Okay, hurry up and eat now we

  11992.  
  11993. Repair Guy: Doing just fine considering I'm not making any profit on this job. But its a great
  11994. ship. I've never seen this model out here on the frontier before.

  11996. Jim: Nice one, huh?
  11997.  
  11998. Repair Guy: Yeah, she's a real beauty.

  12003.  
  12004. Jim: Hey there, hows it coming along?
  12005.  
  12006. Gene: Look, I know that we're cutting back on costs, however could you offer a little bit of help
  12007. with the work load here? This isn't a run of the mill fix it job, what the hells the big
  12008. idea, you're making me change out the arm's wiring on this thing and thats a lot of work.
  12009.  
  12010. Jim: Look Gene Starwind, don't you hear that voice deep inside of you telling you to work harder
  12011. in order to pay for that bar tab you racked up yesterday?
  12012.  
  12013. Gene: Yes, I was so wrong, what was I thinking? Please Master James, what more can this unworthy
  12014. servant do for ya?
  12015.  
  12016. Jim: Well, if you were on a first date, what kind of present would you bring? Whats wrong?
  12017.  
  12018. Gene: Has my little Jimmy discovered girls? Alright, this is your first step to becoming a man,
  12019. so feel free to ask the pro anything you want.
  12020.  
  12021. Jim: Ah, forget it, I'm an idiot to ask advice from a letch like you, not all guys have one thing
  12022. on their mind sleazeball!

  12024. Gene: Hey, watch it you little runt, now you're really ticking me off!

  12066. Melfina: Am I... in the way?
  12067.  
  12068. Gene: No, of course you're not. God... its not like that at all. We need you here Melfina.
  12069.  
  12070. Melfina: Alright.

  12076.  
  12077. Fred: Gene, my old friend, how are you and your merry troop doing out there in your end of the
  12078. universe? These messages are expensive, so I'll keep it short. I have news about an
  12079. interesting place thats related to the Galactic Leyline. I mailed the details to Jim in
  12080. an encoded file. Well, good luck, take care of yourselves now.
  12081.  
  12082. Gilliam: End of message.
  12083.  
  12084. Gene: We'll have to check out the place. Things sure are beginning to liven up around here.

  12114. // Hanmio heads to her ship with the cats, which is the one that attacked the Outlaw Star
  12115. earlier. They get into position to lift off.

  12118.  
  12119. Mata: Thats right, you haven't, have you?
  12120.  
  12121. Hanmio: Will you stop worrying? All I have to do is disable their ship and get rid of Gene
  12122. Starwind.
  12123.  
  12124. Mata: Okay, okay, the Outlaw Star hasn't launched yet.
  12125.  
  12126. Kemy: Hanmio, I wish you hadn't made that a date like that, you should have discussed it with me
  12127. first.
  12128.  
  12129. Mata: And me as well.
  12130.  
  12131. Hanmio: Well I'm sorry, but this is fate. Don't worry about it, I will finish the job.

  12138. I forgot, how did your big date turn out?
  12139.  
  12140. Jim: It went just great if its any of your beeswax so back off now lets get out of here. I'm
  12141. sorry Hanmio, I can't make it.
  12142.  
  12143. // They head out.

  12147. Aisha: Whats he up to?
  12148.  
  12149. Suzuka: Oh, he's taking his time, just like a feline toying with a mouse.
  12150.  
  12151. Gene: Looks like he's trying to screw around with us.
  12152.  
  12153. Jim: Well then, we're just gonna have to show him what a mouse can do when it gets cornered.
  12154.  
  12155. Gene: Jim, what course of action would you recommend?
  12156.  
  12157. Jim: There's more than one way to skin a cat the saying goes.
  12158.  
  12159. Aisha: What a vile saying.
  12160.  
  12161. Jim: Don't take it personally Aisha.

  12173. Mata: Focus.
  12174.  
  12175. Kemy: Relax.
  12176.  
  12177. Hanmio: I am relaxed, dont' worry I can sense the power. Its coming now.
  12178.  
  12179. Gene: Is this really gonna work?
  12180.  
  12181. Jim: I don't know, but if we do it the same as last time, we'll lose.
  12182.  
  12183. Gene: Yeah, probably.
  12184.  
  12185. Jim: Gilliam, cut all external monitors except this one and stand by to activate. Gene,
  12186. concentrate on piloting. I'll back you up without your instructions. The arms response has
  12187. been increased to 150%. Aisha, Suzuka, they're all yours.
  12188.  
  12189. Aisha: Hey this is easy, its just like a game!
  12190.  
  12191. Gene: Yeah, well keep in mind there's no reset button on this game.
  12192.  
  12193. Gilliam: This system can only remain operational for one minute. Keep alert and be careful
  12194. everyone. And good luck everyone.
  12195.  
  12196. Melfina: Lets all pull together the way a team should. If anyone can do it, we can.

  12236. Gilliam: Although the advesary is defeated, we sustained extensive damage as well.
  12237.  
  12238. Gene: Then we have no choice. We have to return to Symka 5 for more repair. Now what about cash?
  12239.  
  12240. Jim: Don't sweat it, we'll figure out something.
  12241.  
  12242. Gene: What are you so happy about?
  12243.  
  12244. Jim: Me? No reason.
  12245.  
  12246. // There, Jim waits but Hanmio never shows up. He heads back to the ship and talks to Gene.

  12250.  
  12251. Jim: It must be nice to be a Ctarl Ctarl without any problems.
  12252.  
  12253. Aisha: Thats not true, a delicate flower such as myself has her share of concerns.
  12254.  
  12255. Jim: Like what?
  12256.  
  12257. Aisha: Well, um... I get hungry.
  12258.  
  12259. Jim: Oh... you call that a concern? Give me a break.
  12260.  
  12261. Aisha: Well then, what would you call a problem?
  12262.  
  12263. Jim: The big stuff, like what do people exist for, whats in my heart, who am I, thats what.
  12264.  
  12265. Aisha: You need a life.
  12266.  
  12267. Jim: You just don't get it.
  12268.

  12282.  
  12283. Narrator: On the homeworlds of most civilized races there exists ancient ruins that defy
  12284. explanation. This includes Terrans of course and also the Aruba Reba ruins on Ctarl
  12285. Ctarl, the Sabun Temple on Cor Borno, the Oranotes on Sylgry. No one knows who built
  12286. these ruins or how they possible could have been constructed. And in space, there
  12287. exists ruins that are related to a race yet a race of unknown origin. Some researchers
  12288. have concluded that these ruins might be the product of a super ancient extinct race
  12289. and they presume that the ancient ruins of earth and other planets may have been built
  12290. by them as well. But there is no shred of evidence. Remaining enshrouded in mystery,
  12291. the ruins exist to this day.
  12292.  
  12293. // On the Outlaw Star...
  12294.  
  12295. Gene: Is that it?
  12296.  
  12297. Aisha: Thats the Galactic Leyline?
  12298.  
  12299. Jim: Look, how many times do I have to tell you, thats not the Leyline.
  12300.  
  12301. Aisha: Wait a minute... thats what you just said it was.
  12302.  
  12303. Jim: In another language, but to us its a planet with ancient ruins called Dragon, or Way of the
  12304. Dragon.
  12305.  
  12306. Aisha: Right, and thats the Leyline.
  12307.  
  12308. Jim: If it was, then the survey team would have left a much more thurough report.
  12309.  
  12310. Gene: C'mon, just give it a rest. Its something we need to see for ourselves, alright? So how
  12311. about a landing spot?
  12312.  
  12313. Jim: How bout the same place as the survey? The area down there's level enough so it shouldn't
  12314. give us any trouble at all.
  12315.  
  12316. Gene: Okay, prepare for landing.
  12317.

  12321.  
  12322. ----------------
  12323.  
  12324. Gene: Man, nothing's here at all.
  12325.  
  12326. Suzuka: Its no wonder that they haven't got any immigrants.
  12327.  
  12328. Gene: So, tell us where it is Jim.
  12329.  
  12330. Jim: Boy, you are really pathetic, can't you do anything without me?
  12331.  
  12332. Gene: Well you said you were the one who found it right?
  12333.  
  12334.  
  12335.  
  12336. Jim: Right, but it was tough enough to hack into the Space Archeology Soceity's database. I mean
  12337. it was surpressed like it was top secret or something. You could show a little gratitude
  12338. maybe. Got it. Its about 2 kilometers southeast of here.
  12339.  
  12340. Gene: Two kilometers? Hey, why'd you take us all the way down here when we're so far away?
  12341.  
  12342. Jim: Are you good enough to land that thing no matter what the situation?
  12343.  
  12344. Gene: Hmm? Okay, what do you say we treat ourselves to a little hike, huh?
  12345.  
  12346. // They hike for a while. Eventually, they stop.
  12347.  
  12348. Gene: Alright... lets take a break here.
  12349.  
  12350. Jim: So Gene, just what do you suppose the Galactic Leyline is anyway?
  12351.  
  12352. Gene: Huh? Why are you asking me that now Jim?
  12353.  
  12354. Jim: I don't know, I was just thinking that Hilda may have told you something thats all.
  12355.  
  12356. Gene: She didn't say much. She just mentioned that the Kai Pirates wanted it. So of course
  12357. Hilda's plan was simply to make sure that she got to it first.
  12358.  
  12359. Aisha: Which means its a treasure.
  12360.  
  12361. Gene: Yeah right. It'd be nice if it was. Then I'd be able to pay back all the money I owe Fred.
  12362.  
  12363. Aisha: Its gotta be worth a whole lot more than that.
  12364.  
  12365. Suzuka: Aisha, how did the Ctarl Ctarl learn about the Leyline?
  12366.  
  12367. Aisha: Um... Uh... well we, that is uh... its a state secret.
  12368.  
  12369. Gene: And I suppose you have no idea what the secret might be huh?
  12370.  
  12371. Jim: Ah... you only came because you were orderred to, must be rough.
  12372.  
  12373. Aisha: Erh... shut up!
  12374.  
  12375. Jim: Looks like we're on the money.
  12376.  
  12377. Gene: I'm starting to get worried about how much longer we're gonna be able to keep up this
  12378. friendship with her.
  12379.  
  12380. Jim: What are you talking about?
  12381.  
  12382. Gene: I'm saying we can't forget that she's still a Ctarl Ctarl officer.
  12383.  
  12384. Suzuka: Don't you think it would be best to confront her about it?
  12385.  
  12386. Gene: Well... to tell you the truth, the same goes for you.
  12387.  
  12388. Suzuka: Are you saying that I have some kind of short comings?
  12389.  
  12390. Gene: No, not at this moment exactly.
  12391.  
  12392. Suzuka: And not ever to be perfectly honest.
  12393.  
  12394. Gene: Yes ma'am. Hey, whats the matter Mel?
  12395.  
  12396. Melfina: Its nothing.
  12397.  
  12398. Gene: C'mon...
  12399.  
  12400. Melfina: When we find the Galactic Leyline, do you think I'll learn anything about myself?
  12401.  
  12402. Gene: Good question. To be honest, I'm not sure.
  12403.  
  12404. Jim: What are you saying Gene, of course she will. Isn't that right Mel? Woah.
  12405.  
  12406. Gene: We won't know for sure until we get there.
  12407.  
  12408. Melfina: I guess you're right.
  12409.  
  12410. Jim: Look Gene!
  12411.  
  12412. Aisha: Hey, over here! I found it! Hurry! Come take a look!
  12413.  
  12414. Gene: Uh...
  12415.  
  12416. Aisha: There they are, the ruins of the Leyline!
  12417.  
  12418. // Meanwhile, in space...
  12419.  
  12420. Ron: They sure picked another strange planet to go to.
  12421.  
  12422. Harry: Lets head down Ron. I'll make her mine this time without fail.
  12423.  
  12424. Ron: Sure. Thats the very reason why we tracked them down all this way. We'll finish this.
  12425.  
  12426. // Meanwhile, at the ruins...
  12427.  
  12428. Gene: Awesome...
  12429.  
  12430. Jim: See that thing in the middle? They call it the Dragon Sphinx. The line that leads up to it
  12431. is the way of the dragon.
  12432.  
  12433. Gene: So the way of the dragon is the Leyline.
  12434.  
  12435. Jim: After a lot of investigating, the survey team had concluded it was probably made about
  12436. 10000 years ago.
  12437.  
  12438. Gene: Why did the survey team close down their investigation?
  12439.  
  12440. Jim: Apparantly the direct reason was their funding had dried up just before they could get any
  12441. final results terminating the exploration. They also mentioned that the Kai Pirates were
  12442. directly involved.
  12443.  
  12444. Suzuka: What exactly does that mean?
  12445.  
  12446. Jim: The pirates interfered by completely cutting off the supply lines of the survey team. So
  12447. of course it gave them absolutely no choice they had to pull out.
  12448.  
  12449. Suzuka: A place called the Leyline and the Kai Pirates are involved? Rather suspicious bed
  12450. fellows indeed.
  12451.  
  12452. Gene: So? What else did you find out?
  12453.  
  12454. Jim: Nothing at all. It wasn't in the database. I can tell you that much. Looks like the survey
  12455. team was able to check out the entry chamber to that Pyramid, but there isn't a single point
  12456. about it.
  12457.  
  12458. Aisha: Hey, whats all of this got to do with the Galactic Leyline anyway?
  12459.  
  12460. Gene: Thats why we came here, to find that out. So lets go check out the survey teams's barracks
  12461. and see if there's anything there we'll be able to use. C'mon.
  12462.  
  12463. // Meanwhile, the MacDougal's ship lands. Harry is in a big robot suit.
  12464.  
  12465. Harry: I'm all ready Ron.
  12466.  
  12467. Ron: Good. We wait til sunset then close in for our attack. The woman comes first.
  12468.  
  12469. Harry: We can kill everyone else, isn't that right?
  12470.  
  12471. Ron: Of course.
  12472.  
  12473. // Back to the others...
  12474.  
  12475. Gene: So...? Whats so special about this spot?
  12476.  
  12477. Jim: Look at the floor. They mention that there might have been something here originally.
  12478.  
  12479. Aisha: Hmm... What do you think could have been there?
  12480.  
  12481. Jim: Thats just the thing Aisha, they never did find out. Leyline was originally a term used by
  12482. the Space Pirates, it comes from Fuang Shi, meaning a path that she collects. They're
  12483. energy lines. They spoke of it as the Dragon's cosmic breath.
  12484.  
  12485. Suzuka: Thats all very interesting but it really doesn't tell us anything.
  12486.  
  12487. Jim: Look, I don't even understand it. If I did, I wouldn't be wasting my time right now, what
  12488. they're saying is controlling the Leyline means controlling everything. Huh? What is it
  12489. Mel?
  12490.  
  12491. Melfina: I feel something coming from here.
  12492.  
  12493. Gene: You do? Well what are you feeling?
  12494.  
  12495. Melfina: I'm not sure, its just... ugh...
  12496.  
  12497. // A dragon symbol appears on the wall, then vanishes.
  12498.  
  12499. Aisha: Hey, what was that?
  12500.  
  12501. Gene: Mel.
  12502.  
  12503. Melfina: I'm not really sure what it was. Now I'm not feeling anything, not anymore...
  12504.  
  12505. // Later...
  12506.  
  12507. Jim: Where's Melfina?
  12508.  
  12509. Suzuka: She said she wanted to be alone for a while.
  12510.  
  12511. Aisha: She must be in the bathroom.
  12512.  
  12513. Jim: If she needed to go to the bathroom there's a toilet right over there. I wonder whats wrong.
  12514.  
  12515. Gene: Let it go Jim. If she wanted to be alone then let her be alone.
  12516.  
  12517. Jim: Gene, how come you don't care about Melfina? You're always so cold to her.
  12518.  
  12519. Gene: No I'm not, not really.
  12520.  
  12521. Jim: Yes you are. You've been acting weird ever since we left to look for the Leyline.
  12522.  
  12523. Gene: What do you mean?
  12524.  
  12525. Jim: Its like you're avoiding her or something.
  12526.  
  12527. Gene: So? I always do.
  12528.  
  12529. Jim: Not like this!
  12530.  
  12531. Gene: Of course I do. Where are you going?
  12532.  
  12533. Jim: I wanna be by myself.
  12534.  
  12535. Suzuka: I know you didn't ask, but to be honest I agree with Jim.
  12536.  
  12537. Gene: Hmm?
  12538.  
  12539. Suzuka: Well yes, is he wrong?
  12540.  
  12541. Gene: I don't really wanna say I'm sorry. And even if I did, what good would it do anyway?
  12542.  
  12543. Suzuka: What are you sorry for?
  12544.  
  12545. Gene: Well I made a promise to Melfina, now I'm not sure I can keep it cause I'm not making any
  12546. progress with it at all.
  12547.  
  12548. Suzuka: Oh. A promise?
  12549.  
  12550. Gene: I told her I'd find out anything I could about her.
  12551.  
  12552. // Meanwhile, outside...
  12553.  
  12554.  
  12555.  
  12556. Melfina: I don't know
  12557. What words I can say
  12558. The wind has a way
  12559. To talk to me
  12560. Flowers sleep
  12561. A silent lullaby
  12562. I pray for reply
  12563. I'm ready
  12564. Quiet day calling
  12565. Oh serenity
  12566. Someone please tell me
  12567. Oh what is it they say
  12568. Maybe I will know one day
  12569.  
  12570. // Harry arrives.
  12571.  
  12572. Melfina: Harry MacDougal.
  12573.  
  12574. Harry: Melfina, its okay, come with me. I will never let you be lonely again.
  12575.  
  12576. --------
  12577.  
  12578. Eyecatch
  12579.  
  12580. --------
  12581.  
  12582. Gene: I was so sure I would come up with an answer by now but I haven't found out anything.
  12583.  
  12584. Suzuka: Now that isn't true, and you know it. You came all the way to a place like this to
  12585. investigate it, right? Whats the matter Aisha?
  12586.  
  12587. Aisha: Got to go to the bathroom.
  12588.  
  12589. Gene: From what MacDougal told me, Melfina was originally created as part of a navigation system
  12590. that was designed specifically to reach the Galactic Leyline. But you tell me, is that the
  12591. sort of answer you'd wanna hear? Of course not, who'd want to hear that? I can't tell her,
  12592. I just can't.
  12593.  
  12594. Melfina: Lonely? Do you mean me?
  12595.  
  12596. Harry: Yeah, thats right.
  12597.  
  12598. Melfina: You're wrong.
  12599.  
  12600. Harry: I'll give you everything Melfina, anything you've ever wanted, anything in the world.
  12601.  
  12602. Melfina: You'd do that?
  12603.  
  12604. Harry: Thats right. For you I would do that.
  12605.  
  12606. Gene: I was hoping that we'd learn more about her when we reached the Galactic Leyline, but now
  12607. I have no idea whats gonna happen when we get there. I don't know if it even has anything
  12608. to do with Mel, or the answer she's looking for.
  12609.  
  12610. Suzuka: You have no choice but to go there now.
  12611.  
  12612. Gene: As it stands, we can't get there.
  12613.  
  12614. Melfina: You're the only one who's lonely.
  12615.  
  12616. Harry: Me? Don't be ridiculous. I have my brother, and I have friends too.
  12617.  
  12618. Melfina: You are lonely, don't you understand? All you can do is take what you want but what you
  12619. want never seems to be enough.
  12620.  
  12621. Harry: What I want is you Melfina. C'mon...
  12622.  
  12623. Gene: I guess I have been kinda cold to her. I just can't be sure if I can actually keep my
  12624. promise. I don't know what to do.
  12625.  
  12626.  
  12627.  
  12628. Suzuka: You act so tough on the outside.
  12629.  
  12630. Gene: I wish I was a little tougher on the inside.
  12631.  
  12632. Harry: Now...
  12633.  
  12634. Melfina: No, I can't go, I have someone who has made a promise to me. Someone who has promised
  12635. no matter what he would help me find what I'm looking for.
  12636.  
  12637. Harry: Do you mean Gene Starwind? Ugh... would you forget about that guy?
  12638.  
  12639. Melfina: I can't.
  12640.  
  12641. Harry: Listen to me, we are the only ones who can really understand each other.
  12642.  
  12643. Melfina: Understand? I don't even understand myself.
  12644.  
  12645. Harry: Melfina...
  12646.  
  12647. Melfina: Please don't.
  12648.  
  12649. Harry: Will you sing that song again? Sing it for me.
  12650.  
  12651. Gene: Harry MacDougal! What are you doing?
  12652.  
  12653. Harry: Erh...
  12654.  
  12655. Gene: What were you talking about Melfina?
  12656.  
  12657. Melfina: Gene.
  12658.  
  12659. Gene: Is there something going on between you two?
  12660.  
  12661. // Harry arrives in his mech.
  12662.  
  12663. Harry: You're a dead man Gene, Melfina is now mine.
  12664.  
  12665. Gene: What are you talking about, she is not!
  12666.  
  12667. // Meanwhile, in the ruins...
  12668.  
  12669. Jim: Urh.
  12670.  
  12671. Aisha: Don't worry about it, grown ups are complicated.
  12672.  
  12673. Jim: Don't treat me like I'm a kid, quit it!
  12674.  
  12675. Aisha: But you are a kid. You know what? You should just live your life without worrying about
  12676. everything.
  12677.  
  12678. Jim: Yeah. Big talk from someone who always acts like a kid.
  12679.  
  12680. Aisha: Hmm?
  12681.  
  12682. Jim: What is it Aisha? Urh.
  12683.  
  12684. // Ron MacDougal fires at them, they dodge.
  12685.  
  12686. Suzuka: Gene!
  12687.  
  12688. // They battle. Meanwhile, Gene & Melfina are running from Harry.
  12689.  
  12690. Gene: Coward! Shoot!
  12691.  
  12692. Harry: Gene... where the heck did you go? Show your face!
  12693.  
  12694. Gene: Sorry, no one's home. Next time try calling first. Alright, game over.
  12695.  
  12696. // Harry dodges the attack.
  12697.  
  12698. Gene: Ugh...
  12699.  
  12700. // Harry starts blasting at Gene.
  12701.  
  12702. Harry: Die! Die! Die! Die! Die!
  12703.  
  12704. Melfina: Gene!
  12705.  
  12706. // Meanwhile...
  12707.  
  12708. Aisha: Erh...
  12709.  
  12710. // Suddenly the place starts shaking.
  12711.  
  12712. Ron: What the...
  12713.  
  12714. Suzuka: It can't be.
  12715.  
  12716. Aisha: Its an earthquake!
  12717.  
  12718. Harry: C'mon, just climb on. Huh? What the heck, hold it together. Ah!
  12719.  
  12720. // His mech falls over.
  12721.  
  12722. Gene: I don't think I'm gonna miss this time.

  12724. // Gene kills Harry.
  12725.  
  12726. Ron: Harry! Harry! What the heck happened, come in Harry, c'mon.
  12727.  
  12728. Jim: Why the quake have to start up now?
  12729.  
  12730. Gene: Jim! Come back to the ship now!
  12731.  
  12732. Jim: Okay.
  12733.  
  12734. // They head there.
  12735.  
  12736. Gilliam: Hurry everyone you have to move faster, its a crustal disturbance. If this keeps up,
  12737. the ship will tumble over.
  12738.  
  12739. Gene: Listen Melfina, if you don't want to, you don't have to go with us. I'd never force you
  12740. to do anything. Once we're in space, you can do whatever you want.
  12741.  
  12742. Jim: Gene, c'mon, what are you doing?
  12743.  
  12744. Melfina: Take me with you please. I want to go with you, please Gene.
  12745.  
  12746. Gene: Sure, I'll take you along. I'll take you along with me anytime. C'mon.
  12747.  
  12748. Melfina: Thanks.
  12749.  
  12750. // They take off.
  12751.  
  12752. Aisha: The surface is still shaking, the ruins are nothing but rubble.
  12753.  
  12754. Gene: Well Mel, it looks like we'll have to find ourselves a new lead.
  12755.  
  12756. Melfina: Right.
  12757.  
  12758. // Back on the planet...
  12759.  
  12760. Ron: Harry! Harry! Harry, hold on, you'll be alright. Oh Harry, what have they done to you?
  12761.  
  12762. // Outlaw Star parks at a space station.
  12763.  
  12764. Gene: First up resupply, then rest. Then we'll decide what to do next.
  12765.  
  12766. Gilliam: I have received a transmition. It is Professor Gwen Khan.
  12767.  
  12768. Gene: Professor Khan? Oh yeah, is it real time?
  12769.  
  12770. Gilliam: The transmition is direct from the station.
  12771.  
  12772. Gwen: Oh my hello, I've been waiting for you gentlemen. Hmm. Yes, I had a feeling you might stop
  12773. here.
  12774.  
  12775. Gene: Alright Khan, what are you doing here?
  12776.  
  12777. Gwen: I could ask you the same thing. I went to a great length... Finally I caught up with you.
  12778. It wasn't easy, let me tell you.
  12779.  
  12780. Jim: Why is he following us and how does he keep finding out where we are?
  12781.  
  12782. Gene: Good question, did you plant a transmitor on us or what?
  12783.  
  12784. Gwen: Oh my... how did you know that?
  12785.  
  12786. Gene: What do you mean?
  12787.  
  12788. Gwen: I planted a bug, well its not exactly a bug but its something like a bug, right? It was
  12789. back in the planning stages of the XGP. Since the planning stages. But I devised it that no
  12790. one would know about it but me.
  12791.  
  12792. Gene: Wait a minute... What do you mean back in the planning stages?
  12793.  
  12794. Gwen: Forget about that. I have found someone who knows the coordinates of the Galactic Leyline.
  12795. I actually found someone. Go ask the man yourself. The thing is, he's currently
  12796. incarsirated at Gay Anna Prison. Apparantly he's been sentenced to 300 years and he's not
  12797. allowed any visitors, but you need to go there and ask him what the coordinates are Gene,
  12798. yes you do.
  12799.  
  12800. Gene: What the heck are you babbling about? There's no way I'm ever going into any prison.
  12801.  
  12802. Gwen: But Gene, he actually knows what the coordinates are.
  12803.  
  12804. Gene: There's gotta be somebody else besides him who knows the darn coordinates.
  12805.  
  12806. Gwen: Yes, but understand those somebodies are high ranking Kai Pirates and I really don't want
  12807. to get involved with them. I simply can't get involved.
  12808.  
  12809. Gene: Then I'll get involved. I'd prefer to not listen to that fishy story of yours otherwise I
  12810. might find myself drowning somewhere. Gilliam, prepare to launch.
  12811.  
  12812. Gilliam: Already? But we just got here.
  12813.  
  12814. Gwen: Wait a minute, are you crazy?
  12815.  
  12816. Gene: I've already made up my mind. All this time we've stayed away from the Kai territory doing
  12817. nothing but avoiding it. Now I'm gonna go there and make them tell me the secret of the
  12818. Galactic Leyline.
  12819.  
  12820. Gwen: No, you musn't you fool! Listen to me!
  12821.  
  12822. Gene: Forget it.
  12823.  
  12824. Gwen: Melfina, listen.
  12825.  
  12826. Melfina: Huh?
  12827.  
  12828. Gwen: Leyline project command input. It was you who broke my mason plate.
  12829.  
  12830. // Melfina suddenly becomes paralyzed.
  12831.  
  12832. Jim: Melfina?
  12833.  
  12834. Gwen: I was the one who created her control system and command from the beginning. I have now
  12835. suspended her personality.
  12836.  
  12837. Gene: What on earth do you think you're doing? Turn her back to normal now!
  12838.  
  12839. Gwen: Oh I will, don't worry. Once you go to the prison, meet with the man and find out the
  12840. Galactic Leyline's coordinates.
  12841.  
  12842. Gene: Ugh... you jerk.
  12843.

  12884. // Gene is getting a meal in the cafeteria.
  12885.  
  12886. Warden/Robot: Whats taking you so long? Take your food and sit down now! I hear you ran like a
  12887. wild man on the outside, but if you can't learn to move in gravity this low you'll
  12888. never survive for very long in here, Curse. You're so pathetic, 3 G's is nothing.
  12889. Up in the punishment facility at the north pole, 10 G's is what you can expect.
  12890. At this rate you'll die of massive heart failure or brain aneurysm before your

  12896. yourself together you good for nothing.
  12897.  
  12898. Saiyo: Easy, c'mon now Jake, you don't want to make any trouble for the warden.
  12899.  
  12900. Warden/Robot: Saiyo, this is none of your business.
  12901.

  12906. Saiyo: Heh heh, sorry abou thtat, I guess I slipped.
  12907.  
  12908. Warden/Robot: Silence, I've had enough of your yapping!
  12909.  
  12910. // Gene hits him with a stool.
  12911.  
  12912. Warden/Robot: And what do you think you're doing?
  12913.  
  12914. Gene: Why don't you put down the puppet for a minute and come out and meet me face to face like
  12915. a real man.
  12916.  
  12917. Warden/Robot: You scum bag, you'll pay for this!
  12918.  
  12919. // He knocks out Gene.
  12920.  
  12921. Gene: Ugh...
  12922.  
  12923. Saiyo: Hey, wait a minute ugh..
  12924.  
  12925. // Him too...
  12926.  
  12927. Warden/Robot: You two think you're smart, huh? Well you just earned 24 hours in the punishment
  12928. facility. Crash, you just arrived at Gay Hanna so its time you learn what real
  12929. fear means. Let this service as a final warning to all you other prisoners. You're
  12930. under constant surveilance. There's no use trying to escape at this prison and
  12931. theres no defying me either! Hah hah hah!
  12932.  
  12933. // While waiting to get on the train...
  12934.  
  12935. Saiyo: You've got a serious death wish buddy. Deliberately trying to start something like that.
  12936.  
  12937. Gene: And what do you call what you were doing?
  12938.  
  12939. Warden/Robot: I don't wanna hear another word from either of you, now get on board.
  12940.  
  12941. // He pushes them in. The train starts going.
  12942.  
  12943. Gene: Ah... that guy really likes to play rough doesn't he...
  12944.  
  12945. Saiyo: Ah... he's always like that.
  12946.  
  12947. Gene: Maybe I shouldn't have pushed the limit so much.
  12948.  
  12949. // A flashback to back on the Outlaw Star...
  12950.  
  12951. Gene: You mean planet Hekaton Kairez?
  12952.  
  12953. Gwen: Yes, thats right. Its a strange world thats very massive for an earth type planet. It has
  12954. an incredibly high rotational speed, and a gravity of 1 G along its equator, its shaped
  12955. like an intricate string of beads on an abacus.
  12956.  
  12957. Gene: Hey Gilliam!
  12958.  
  12959. Gilliam: Yes, just a minute, I'll pull up the data.
  12960.  
  12961. Aisha: Whats an abicus anyway?
  12962.  
  12963. Gwen: The point is, its not the shape thats the problem, its the gravity. The force pushing down
  12964. on the planet varies depending on where you are. Its a crushing 10.4 G's on the poles
  12965. even though its still 3 G's where the prison is situated.
  12966.  
  12967. Jim: Then I guess you'd weigh 3 times what you'd normally weigh.
  12968.  
  12969. Gwen: Thats right Jim, what a smart boy to figure that out so quick. At any rate there isn't
  12970. a single area in the prison where the gravity is stabilized. As a matter of fact, for
  12971. security reasons you can't find a gravity stabilized area anywhere on the entire planet.
  12972. Due to its high rotational speed, the planet acts as a huge dynamic generating a
  12973. powerful magnetic field around the globe. The result is that radios and radar don't
  12974. transmit or receive as well on the surface.
  12975.  
  12976. Aisha: And in human time 1 day is 74 minutes just thinking about it makes me sick.
  12977.  
  12978. Suzuka: I didn't realize that Gay Hanna prison is located on Hekaton Kairez, no wonder no one
  12979. has ever gotten out alive. Gene, you've got to be careful you're usual recklessness won't
  12980. serve you well if you want to take on this mission.
  12981.  
  12982. Aisha: She's right, use your head this time if you jump in without thinking its all over.
  12983.  
  12984. Gene: Yeah, like you're one to talk.
  12985.  
  12986. Jim: Gene... c'mon.
  12987.  
  12988. Gene: You say that no one's ever gotten out of there huh? Alright then, what are we waiting for?
  12989.  
  12990. // A little later...
  12991.  
  12992. Gene: Where's Suzuka and Aisha?
  12993.  
  12994. Jim: Just like you said, Aisha's with Mel and Suzuka's sticking to Gwen Khan like glue.
  12995.  
  12996. Gene: Alright Jim now don't let your guard down.
  12997.  
  12998. Jim: Mmm.
  12999.  
  13000. Gene: Khan, did you get a chance to look into what I was asking for?
  13001.  
  13002. Gwen: Yes, as a matter of fact I've got it right here with me, a monopole. I don't know what
  13003. you're going to use it for, but bear in mind that its even more expensive and more rare
  13004. than Dragonite so make sure you return it to me when you're finished using it.
  13005.  
  13006. Gene: Yeah, sure I got it, I understand what you're saying. So anyway, were you able to rig it
  13007. like we discussed?
  13008.  
  13009. Gwen: Of course I camoflaged it well if I do say so myself. It's an incredible piece of work that
  13010. would cost a small fortune, it was made by someone else.
  13011.  
  13012. Gene: If you do say so yourself. See you later Jim, I'm counting on yah.
  13013.  
  13014. Jim: Yes sir.
  13015.  
  13016. // In the present, the train stops.
  13017.  
  13018. Gene and Saiyo: Erh...
  13019.  
  13020. // They are thrown in their cells.
  13021.  
  13022. Gene: Ugh... No small talk just get right to the right stuff. Oh... this crummy bed's in here
  13023. just to torture us. I can't get up, give me a hand.
  13024.  
  13025. Saiyo: Hey, take it easy newbie. Don't move around. Don't worry, the Warden isn't listening. His
  13026. don't have the budget to lay wires all the way up here just to allow him to run the robots
  13027. and cameras to keep an eye on us.
  13028.  
  13029. Gene: So why did they build this thing in the first place if they can't even see us?
  13030.  
  13031. Saiyo: As a lesson to all the other prisoners. Its over kill though there's no chance you can
  13032. run away on this tin cheap black hole.
  13033.  
  13034. Gene: Yeah, I feel like I'm gonna pass out if I don't get out of here soon.
  13035.  
  13036.  
  13037.  
  13038. Saiyo: Heh heh heh. I'm surprised you were able to talk this much on your first trip to the
  13039. cooler. I'm Saiyo Wong. Who are you?
  13040.  
  13041. Gene: Well isn't that a coincidence. That makes things easier. Saiyo Wong. How perfect. You're
  13042. the man that I came in here to see.
  13043.  
  13044. Saiyo: What did you say?
  13045.  
  13046. Gene: I wanted to ask you the coordinates of the Galactic Leyline.
  13047.  
  13048. Saiyo: The Galactic Leyline? Why don't you tell me who you are first boy.
  13049.  
  13050. Gene: Just an ordinary outlaw passing bye.
  13051.  
  13052. Saiyo: What are you, an idiot? Even if I did tell you the coordinates, there's no way to get out
  13053. of here. Relax kid, now that you're in you'll never get out.
  13054.  
  13055. Gene: You got to be kidding. You think I'm gonna spend the rest of my life in here rotting in a
  13056. prison cell? If you want to, you can tag along with me. Are you in, or are you out?
  13057.  
  13058. Saiyo: Moron.
  13059.  
  13060. Gene: Whats that? Hey man, whats it gonna be, huh Saiyo? C'mon Saiyo, what do you say?
  13061.  
  13062. // Later, when they are brought back...
  13063.  
  13064. Gene: Pretty nice of them to bring us back after only one day don't ya think? I can't believe
  13065. that 3 G can feel so light, I'm cruising.
  13066.  
  13067. Saiyo: If you do something dumb like jumping your bones are gonna snap in 2 like toothpicks pal.
  13068.  
  13069.  
  13070.  
  13071. Gene: Oh well, look who's talking. I knew if I was annoying enough you'd finally say something.
  13072. So Wong, are you interested in what I'm talking about?
  13073.  
  13074. // Suddenly, screens all around the room turn on.
  13075.  
  13076. Gene: Huh? What the hecks that?
  13077.  
  13078. Warden: Gentlemen, its been a long while, but a courageous if not foolish man has revealed
  13079. himself among our distinguished inmate guest list. That man is none other than Nicolai
  13080. Ilovich who was invited to this prison 17 days ago sole standard time. He destroyed an
  13081. entire prison wall using explosives that he had carefully hidden inside his body before
  13082. attempting his failed escape from this facility. You certainly don't see a heroic
  13083. attempt like this very often.
  13084.  
  13085. // The prisoners sound excited, like they think he might make it out.
  13086.  
  13087. Warden: Why don't we take a look and see how he's making out shall we?
  13088.  
  13089. // The screens switch over to him in the desert, being chased by the robots.
  13090.  
  13091. --------
  13092.  
  13093. Eyecatch
  13094.  
  13095. --------
  13096.  
  13097. // The robots catch Nicolai.
  13098.  
  13099. Nicolai: Ah!!!!!!!
  13100.  
  13101. Saiyo: Now do you get it? At 3 G there's no where to hide in that barren wasteland even if you
  13102. got beyond those walls they're on top of you before you know it and even if you managed to
  13103. lose them the only place you can run is to the equator where the gravity is weak. They'll
  13104. circle ahead of you and its all over. There's no way to escape from this prison, end of
  13105. story.
  13106.  
  13107. Gene: Yeah? Well how do you know it won't work if you never even tried it?
  13108.  
  13109. Saiyo: What a moron...
  13110.  
  13111. // Later they eat. Saiyo leaves when Gene sits next to him. In the laundry room...
  13112.  
  13113. Robot/Warden: Alright, next in line.
  13114.  
  13115. Gene: Hey, wuz up Wong.
  13116.  
  13117. Robot/Warden: There's absolutely no talking.
  13118.  
  13119. Gene: C'mon, whats the big deal, I just wanted to say hi.
  13120.  
  13121. // He gets punched. Later, in the sauna room...
  13122.  
  13123. Gene: I was wondering what kind of monster I'd find here when I heard that you're a big shot in
  13124. the battle group, and outfit that gives the Kai Pirates a run for the money. Eh... but
  13125. you're just another pathetic little man waiting to die of heart failure I guess.
  13126.  
  13127. Saiyo: And here I thought you had potential, but you're just another dumb crook who only knows
  13128. how to shoot off his mouth and make an idiot of himself.
  13129.  
  13130. Gene: Hey, I'm not a criminal, I'm an outlaw.
  13131.  
  13132. Saiyo: If you wanna call yourself an outlaw fine. But don't let that reckless death wish of
  13133. yours get anybody else hurt.
  13134.  
  13135. Gene: Oh yeah? Reckless? Well no outlaw would sit around and wait to die in this god forsaken
  13136. prison when he's got nothing left to lose. If there's the slimmest chance no matter how
  13137. small, you have to go for it, never give up hope. And thats what it means to be an outlaw.
  13138.  
  13139. Saiyo: You think I'm putting up with this because I want to? Well you're right! There's nothing
  13140. left to lose in this dark hole. Do you know that no one has ever served out his sentence
  13141. and left this prison alive? Everybody's heart eventually gives out and they die before
  13142. their sentence is up. This gravity is too much for humans to survive. The place is a
  13143. total bloodless execution ground.
  13144.  
  13145. // He leaves.
  13146.  
  13147. Gene: Huh? You guys want something?
  13148.  
  13149. Fat Guy: If I'm not mistaken, you're the little moron who's been bugging Mr. Wong lately.
  13150.  
  13151. Gene: You Saiyo's gang?
  13152.  
  13153. Fat Guy: Heh heh, you better watch your mouth pretty boy. What you don't understand is that
  13154. Mr. Wong looks after us even if it involves going up against the warden. A punk like you
  13155. doesn't have any business hanging around.
  13156.  
  13157. Gene: If he's content to be the leader of a pack of weak dogs then Saiyo Wong outta just quit
  13158. while he's ahead.
  13159.  
  13160. Fat Guy: You idiot!
  13161.  
  13162. // They fight. In the cafeteria...
  13163.  
  13164. Guy: Whats all the ruckus about?
  13165.  
  13166. Prisoner: They say that there's a fight in the sauna room.
  13167.  
  13168. Guy: When they know they'll get sent to the cooler? Who's the moron?
  13169.  
  13170. Prisoner: Looks like Jose and the others are putting the guy in his place.
  13171.  
  13172. // Gene comes in and sits down.
  13173.  
  13174. Gene: Who's side are you on anyway? Man, I'm taking garbage from everybody. Aren't you fighting
  13175. the wrong guy? Ever thought about giving that warden a hard time instead of me?
  13176.  
  13177. Saiyo: You stand out too much. Don't you get it? You've got too much spirit.
  13178.  
  13179. Gene: Whats that supposed to mean?
  13180.  
  13181. Saiyo: Everybody wants to escape from here so bad they can't stand it but they can't do anything
  13182. about it. They can either do something crazy and go like Illovich or they can give up on
  13183. everything and wait to die. To people like that you stand out like an eyesore because
  13184. you got too much spirit.
  13185.  
  13186. Gene: Does that go for you too?
  13187.  
  13188. Saiyo: What was that pal?
  13189.  
  13190. Gene: Whats about you Wong, are you throwing in the towel and giving up on everything too?
  13191.  
  13192. Saiyo: Thats what I mean! Thats the attitude thats ticking everybody off! As if I'd ever give up
  13193. hope and wait to die in a concrete bunker like this.
  13194.  
  13195. Gene: Okay then, what would you do if I told you I have a surefire escape plan to get us out of
  13196. this place?
  13197.  
  13198. Saiyo: Huh?
  13199.  
  13200. // Later, Gene and Saiyo fight.
  13201.  
  13202. Prisoner: Ringside seats, we have a fight on!
  13203.  
  13204. Guy: Mr. Wong's finally gonna teach a lesson to that smart alleck new guy.
  13205.  
  13206. Criminal: Don't let those stupid robots interfere!
  13207.  
  13208. Gambler: Anybody out there wanna put a meal on the new guy?
  13209.  
  13210. Person: Where is it, where's the fight?
  13211.  
  13212. Robot/Warden: Stop it immediately, both of you!
  13213.  
  13214. // They tear apart the draws, grabbing their stuff.
  13215.  
  13216. Saiyo: Get ready to die you punk!
  13217.  
  13218. Gene: You're first loser!
  13219.  
  13220. Robot/Warden: Hold it, what do you think you're doing? If you're got that much energy, I'll make
  13221. sure you burn it off. 48 hours in the punishment facility. Starting right now.
  13222.  
  13223. Saiyo: Whatever you say.
  13224.  
  13225. Gene: Take it easy, getting mad's bad for your blood pressure.
  13226.  
  13227. Robot/Warden: Not another word!
  13228.  
  13229. Gene: I'm asking you once again, can't you yell at anybody face to face instead of through a
  13230. camera lens?
  13231.  
  13232. Robot/Warden: You, you little...
  13233.  
  13234. // He knocks Gene out. Gene wakes up on the train.
  13235.  
  13236. Gene: Ah man that hurts.
  13237.  
  13238. Saiyo: You just had to open your mouth didn't ya? Jeez, I still can't believe I trusted an idiot
  13239. like you. I guess I must be losing my edge or something. So anyway, did you get what you
  13240. were looking for in there?
  13241.  
  13242. Gene: Yeah, how about you?
  13243.  
  13244. Saiyo: You mean this?
  13245.  
  13246. Computer: Warning. Warning. Abnormality on linear car 002. Car is out of control and running
  13247. wild.
  13248.  
  13249. Warden: What the heck?!
  13250.  
  13251. Saiyo: Are you absolutely sure that doing this is such a great idea?
  13252.  
  13253. Gene: Everything's gonna be alright, even if we try and jump the train tracks to the next stop
  13254. the gravity's so strong that we outta stop right away. Atleast I think so. I hope it works.
  13255.  
  13256. Saiyo: Hey, wait a minute.
  13257.  
  13258. Warden: Get to work, do something!
  13259.  
  13260. Computer: I'm sorry, but its totally out of my control. To stop the train its necessary to shut
  13261. down the whole transport system. Do I have permission to iniate a shut down?
  13262.  
  13263. Warden: I can't do that, are you crazy?!
  13264.  
  13265. Computer: Linear car 002 has crashed through the punishment center gates now plowing through
  13266. snow field.
  13267.  
  13268. Warden: They think theyan outsmart me do they? Capture them at once and bring them here! I'll
  13269. make them wish they'd never been born.
  13270.  
  13271. // Outside...
  13272.  
  13273. Saiyo: Everything's going smoothly according to your plans so far. But what do we do now huh?
  13274.  
  13275. Gene: Thats where this baby comes in.
  13276.  
  13277. Saiyo: Ah... the good luck charm, what do you plan on doing with that thing? You gonna start
  13278. praying or something?
  13279.  
  13280. Gene: See, its not an ordinary compass. Its got 2 monopoles, magnetic particles with just one
  13281. pole except its designed to resemble a regular compass.
  13282.  
  13283. Saiyo: You got some kind of trick up your sleeve?
  13284.  
  13285. Gene: Yeah, something like that. HuH?
  13286.  
  13287. // The robots arrive.
  13288.  
  13289. Robot/Warden: Curse, Wong, give up there's no escape. If you surrender peacefully I'm make sure
  13290. you are granted a quick death. (laughs)
  13291.  
  13292. Gene: Yeah, why don't you get lost slow poke. This really is too bad Wong, just when we were
  13293. having a wonderful time here.
  13294.  
  13295. Saiyo: What, hey!
  13296.  
  13297. Gene: Okay now, listen up. If I'm not mistaken, this is the north pole, right? Now the south
  13298. attracts and the north repels. But a magnetic monopole plays by its own rules because it
  13299. only has one poles. So the south monopole would be pulled into the ground, and conversely
  13300. the north monopole would be sent flying upward on the magnetic field line.
  13301.  
  13302. // He puts it in his pants and he rises in the air. Saiyo grabs on to him.
  13303.  
  13304. Saiyo: Even if somebody came up with such a crazy idea who in their right mind would ever believe
  13305. it would work? How high are you planning on going up anyway?
  13306.  
  13307. Gene: That depends on when our ride shows up. But in the meantime, I suggest that you start
  13308. praying that my buddies have the good sense to fly by as low as possible.
  13309.  
  13310. Saiyo: You're nutz Curse, I'm never gonna work with you again I mean it!
  13311.  
  13312. Gene: Hah hah. I may as well tell you now, my real name's not Curse, its Gene. Gene Starwind.
  13313.  
  13314. // In the Outlaw Star...
  13315.  
  13316. Suzuka: I'm picking up a magnetic signature. Its currently rising up over the north pole.
  13317.  
  13318. Aisha: You guys, its Gene.
  13319.  
  13320. Jim: Okay pretty much empty over the pole. We're going in there and do a catching go at full
  13321. speed.
  13322.  
  13323. Gilliam: Understood.
  13324.  
  13325. Computer: Sub-ether signature detected above the planet. And is descending near the north pole.
  13326.  
  13327. Warden: Huh, what did you say? Huh? Impossible! That can't be happening!
  13328.  
  13329. // They get into the ship.
  13330.  
  13331. Warden: This can't be! After them! If they get away I'll be ruined, do you understand? After
  13332. them, hunt them down now!
  13333.  
  13334. Computer: No one can get to them in time, not even from the station's orbit.
  13335.  
  13336. Warden: Darn them!
  13337.  
  13338. // Later, on the ship...
  13339.  
  13340. Gene: Man, I bet that Warden's having a fit right about now. I sure would love to see his face.
  13341.  
  13342. Saiyo: Get serious, even if he's crying I don't ever want to see his face again.
  13343.  
  13344. Gene: Hah hah hah, thats for sure.
  13345.  
  13346. Jim: Hey Gene, great job.
  13347.  
  13348. Gene: Thanks.
  13349.  
  13350. Gwen: Well there, well done, well done. Young man, you should be quite proud of the work you've
  13351. done. What about the Leyline? Have you asked about the Leyline's coordinates? Haven't
  13352. you asked yet?
  13353.  
  13354. Gene: Mel comes first.
  13355.  
  13356. Gwen: Yes, thats right, I'm sorry. Oh what a bother, what a bother. Breakfast is signaled with
  13357. a silver spoon.
  13358.  
  13359. // Melfina wakes up.
  13360.  
  13361. Jim: Hey, it worked!
  13362.  
  13363. Aisha: You okay Melfina?
  13364.  
  13365. Melfina: Huh, what? Gene, you look different somehow, when did you change your clothes?
  13366.  
  13367. Gwen: Well you're satisfied, right? Now hurry up and ask abou the Leyline.
  13368.  
  13369. // Suzuka knocks him out.
  13370.  
  13371. Suzuka: Sorry, but somebody had to put you in your place.
  13372.  
  13373. Aisha: Thats right, the guy's a moron.
  13374.  
  13375. Gene: You can use this guy's spaceship if you hurry up. He's out cold now. In return do me a
  13376. favor and ditch him somewhere along the way.
  13377.  
  13378. Saiyo: Would that be after I get him?
  13379.  
  13380. Gene: Look, I told you before, I'm an outlaw, not a criminal.
  13381.  
  13382. Saiyo: I'll leave him alone. Analyze this when you get a chance, there's a data file in it.
  13383. The password's Maranda. It also happens to be my daughters name.
  13384.  
  13385. Gene: Thats a nice name.
  13386.  
  13387. Saiyo: Of course it is, I'm the one who gave it to her. Anyway, the data file contains the
  13388. Leyline's coordinates. After that you can go get yourself killed for all I care. Never
  13389. want to see an outlaw again.
  13390.  
  13391. // They laugh. Saiyo takes off in Khan's ship.
  13392.

  13399. Hot Springs Planet Tenrai
  13400.  
  13401.  
  13402.  
  13403.  
  13404.  
  13405. Narrator: Vast though space may be, there are only a handful of planets which are famous as tourist attractions. Among these, the name of the planet Tenrei, is famous among many
  13406. races despite the fact that is an Earth-type tourist spot. Further, it's history is
  13407. colored by legend. There were three pioneers who came to this planet, which was
  13408. believed to be uninhabited. They came to this world in search of something called
  13409. "mana", but what they actually found was one hot spring after another. Seemingly
  13410. overnight, the beautiful sorceress had transformed this world into a tourist planet!
  13411. More than 100 years after it's development, some say they still live. Only a tourist
  13412. planet could have a history like this one.
  13413.  
  13414. Aisha-"Oh, wow..."
  13415. A panoramic view of the OLS gang overlooking the city on Planet Tenrei. ()
  13416. Jim - "Are there really going to be any wizards on a planet like this?"
  13417. Gene - "I heard there are so we had to come here!"
  13418. Jim - "But why is everybody dressed like that?". Skimpy bathing suits.
  13419. Host of hot springs - "Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to Hot Springs World."
  13420. Host - "Come along, you'll need to go through immigration first. Right this
  13421. way."
  13422. Individually they are pushed, into the gate rather rudely by the cities
  13423. official mascot greeters.
  13424. Aisha - "What's the big idea?!"
  13425. Suzuka - "How rude!" Slaps one of the greeters who manages to through her in
  13426. clumsily anyway. ()
  13427.  
  13428. --------------
  13429.  
  13430. Hot springs Planet Tenrei
  13431.  
  13432. --------------
  13433.  
  13434. The doors of immigration open up to see that all five of our favorite
  13435. characters are in bathing attire.
  13436.  
  13437. Host - "Are you ready everyone ?"
  13438. Jim - "Immigration huh?".
  13439. Aisha - "and all we did was change clothes".
  13440. Host - "All right then! Please enjoy your visit!".
  13441. Intercom - "An uphill train will soon be arriving on track two. Due to
  13442. danger, please stand behind the white line."
  13443. Jim - "Gene."
  13444. Gene - "What?"
  13445. Jim - "Nobody knows anything about wizards."
  13446.  
  13447. Going through flashbacks - three different groups of people - "We never heard
  13448. of em' " Shaking their heads back and forth in a
  13449. negative manner.
  13450.  
  13451. Gene - "They've got to be here! Every time I've gone looking for Caster
  13452. shells, I heard rumors about wizards who could make them
  13453. on planet Tenrei!"
  13454. Jim - "Maybe they were messing with you!" ()
  13455. Aisha - "I've never heard rumors like that from a Ctarl-Ctarl, either."
  13456. Suzuka - "I hear that Casters and their shells are products of a lost
  13457. technology that no one can produce anymore."
  13458. Gene - "B-But what about that old woman we met?!"
  13459.  
  13460. Another flashback
  13461. Old woman - "Go to the temple at Mt. Nantai, then." "Atchoo"- sneezes.
  13462.  
  13463. Gene - "We'll learn something when we go to the temple the old woman
  13464. mentioned!"
  13465. Jim - "There was something fishy about that old woman, though We finally know
  13466. the coordinates of the Galactic Layline, so we
  13467. should go there already!"
  13468. Gene - "We came here to look for Caster shells because we don't know what's
  13469. going to be waiting for us at the Layline remember!"
  13470. Aisha - "Well this is a Hot Springs planet so we might aswell enjoy it!"
  13471. Suzuka - "Right. By some coincidence, it's on the way to the Layline, after
  13472. all."
  13473. Jim - "Fine see if I care if the pirates get there first."
  13474. Gene "- "Those pirates are still screwing around somewhere!" now on the train
  13475. Melfina - "uhm - what's a hot spring ?"
  13476. Jim - "Right, You've never been to a hot spring before, have you, Mel?"
  13477. Melfina - "No"
  13478. Gene - "Well a hot spring is where you...." Broken up by the train intercom.
  13479. Intercom - "As a part of customer service, we will now flood the train with
  13480. hot water."
  13481. Splash, the car gets flooded and everyone soaked up to their necks. ()
  13482. Jim - "Basically a hot spring is something like this."
  13483. Melfina - "Oh okay!"
  13484. Aisha - "They call this hot...?"
  13485. Suzuka - "This has no charm at all."
  13486.  
  13487.  
  13488.  
  13489. Arriving to Mt. Nantai hot springs center, Jim slides down a huge swirling
  13490. water slide and lands in the pool only to be
  13491. greeted by some busty bikini ladies.
  13492. Pool girl 1 - "Oh, wow"
  13493. Pool girl 2 - "My, what a cute little boy! he's just my type!"
  13494. Pool girl 1 - "Maybe we should have some fun with him, huh?"
  13495. Jim - "hewhehew" Being shy and awkward
  13496. Pool girl 3 - "He's so cute!"
  13497. Pool girl 4 - "Hey play something with us!"
  13498.  
  13499.  
  13500.  
  13501. Camera pans to Aisha, Suzuka and Mel in a different area of the pool.
  13502. Aisha - "They call this hot?"
  13503. Suzuka - "This has no charm at all."
  13504. Camera back to Jim being smothered with the pool girls breasts.
  13505. Jim - "Hey, where's Gene? he isn't here. It's got to be pretty serious if
  13506. that pervert isn't here." ()
  13507. Camera now to Gene who is hiking up the mountain.
  13508. Gene - "Atchoo," "Did I catch a cold or something?"
  13509. Gene - "This is the place" Entering a temple half way up the mountain.()
  13510. Gene - "What the heck are those?" (staring at immense statues of druids).
  13511. Reaching into his tropical shirt for his Caster gun, it mysteriously begins
  13512. to swirl and activate.
  13513. Gene - "Huh, what's going on here ?"
  13514. "HAHAHAHA" (a laugh in the distance).
  13515. Faceless voice - "Just as I was thinking that we don't get any visitors here
  13516. in the inner temple"
  13517. Faceless voice - "someone arrives who has one of those old abominations, and
  13518. is red haired as well." Shows himself standing on
  13519. one of the statues shoulders.
  13520. Gene - "Are you one of the wizards?"
  13521. Nameless wizard - "Wizard? I see. That name may be appropriate. The day we
  13522. call ourselves priests is at an end."
  13523. Gene - "Can you really make shells for this thing ?"
  13524. Nameless wizard - "I suppose."
  13525. Gene - "I came here to ask you for shells."
  13526. Nameless wizard - "Seeing how you've come all this way, would you mind buying
  13527. something as a souvenir?" Rolls out a cart full of
  13528. trinkets.
  13529. Nameless wizard - "How about a Mt. Nantai good luck charm? Or how about this
  13530. T-shirt which has the same effect as the charm."
  13531. Gene puts his hand on his face in disgust then knocked over the cart.
  13532. Gene - Who cares about any of that?! Are you really one of those
  13533. wizards?!"(screaming).
  13534. Gene - "Can you really make Caster shells?!"(still screaming).
  13535. Nameless wizard - "How dare you?! How dare you?! How dare you?!"(screaming
  13536. louder then Gene).
  13537. Nameless wizard - "I haven't named myself yet. But I'll have you know that
  13538. I'm Ark Manaf. 12th head priest!"
  13539. Gene - "12th head priest ...?" replied in a soft voice, looking surprised.
  13540. Ark - "But all that is in the past." back in a normal tone "For now, buy a
  13541. souvenir." Picks up the junk off the floor fallen from the
  13542. cart and hands it to Gene.
  13543. Now at the center of the inner temple with another wizard or priest.
  13544. Ark - "Originally, "Caster" wasn't the name of a gun, but rather a wizard who
  13545. cast spells."
  13546.  
  13547.  
  13548.  
  13549. Ark - "Long ago, the gun was called a spell gun. I always though the shells
  13550. effect was almost like Tao spells."
  13551. Gene - "But are they really magic ?"
  13552. Ark - "Something caused the mana, the magic power of this planet, to
  13553. disappear."
  13554. Ark - "To maximize the power of the little mana left. A technique to place
  13555. spells into cartridges was developed. that's what
  13556. brought about the Casters."
  13557. Ark - "There are 20 types. Each with a different effect. I've found 17 kinds
  13558. of shells but I've never seen a #4, #9 or a #13."
  13559. Ark - "Because they are special. A #9 is now all but impossible to find."
  13560. Gene - "Why?"
  13561. Hadul - "Lord Ark is lunch ready yet?"
  13562. Ark - "Only Hadul here can make a #9."
  13563. Hadul - "I can't hear very well."
  13564. Gene - "In other words, there's no beating the advance of years huh? So what
  13565. about #4 and 13?"
  13566. Ark - "I can make #13's but #4..." ()
  13567. Gene - "#4 ...?"
  13568. Ark - "The woman on Mt. Nyotai."
  13569. Gene - "Oh then I'll have to go there too."
  13570. Ark - "I wouldn't go there if I were you!"
  13571. Gene - "Why not ?"
  13572. Ark - "That woman, that damn woman ..."
  13573. Ark - "Long ago, the tree of us came here in search of the power of mana. It
  13574. was a long hard journey."
  13575. Gene - "you don't say ?"
  13576. Ark - "Instead of looking for mana, she found one hot spring after another
  13577. and transformed this world into a tourist planet!"
  13578. Gene - "So what's wrong with that ?"
  13579. Ark - "Plenty! to top it off, she banned men from the top of Mt. Nyotai,
  13580. barring even me from entering!"
  13581. Ark - "She lords over everybody like a queen over there. And she totally
  13582. ignores me!" Said in an angry voice.
  13583. Gene - "I don't have the slightest idea what your so mad about."
  13584. Ark - "You say you want a #4 shell so your going to climb Mt. Nyotai right?"
  13585. Gene - "Y-yeah" (unsure of what lies ahead).
  13586. Ark - "Take this and record whatever it is that Urt's up to!" (hands him a
  13587. small video-cam). "If at all possible get some dirty
  13588. pictures of Urt!"
  13589. Gene - "what? did you say dirty pictures of Urt?"
  13590. Hadul - "I want to see that too! If you let me see that a #9 shell is a
  13591. bargain!" (then falls down)
  13592. Gene - "what's with the dirty old man?"
  13593. Ark - "it's just one of his fits"
  13594. Gene leaves the temple.
  13595. Gene - ""go take dirty pictures" he says." ()
  13596. Then in a flashback
  13597. Ark - "I'll make a #13 shell! just make sure you get those pictures!"
  13598. Gene - "Oh brother..." Shaking his head.
  13599. Reunited with the gang on another train.
  13600. Suzuka - "They say Mt. Nyotai is a genuine hot spring, so I'm looking forward
  13601. to it."
  13602. Aisha - "I sure hope this ones a hot hot spring!"
  13603. Gene - "Must be nice being as relaxed as you guys, I don't have that kind of
  13604. luxury right now." (camera pans to the mountain)
  13605. "That's mount Nyotai huh!"
  13606. Now in the Mount. Nyotai hot spring.
  13607. Suzuka - "Now this is the charm of a real hot spring."
  13608. Melfina - "Oh, this is the charm of a hot spring huh?" ()
  13609. Melfina and Suzuka bathe contently while Aisha swims back and forth then
  13610. jumps out.
  13611. Aisha - "This isn't hot! This isn't hot! This isn't hot!"
  13612. Aisha - "Aren't there any springs around here that're hotter than this ?"
  13613. Aisha - "I want a Hot spring! A Hot spring! A Hot spring!" Marches off in
  13614. search. ()
  13615. Melfina - "Hey Jim can you hear me?" (Women and men springs are separated due
  13616. to nakedness) "How's the water temperature
  13617. over there?"
  13618. Jim - "I'm scared!" (all alone) "how come Gene Isn't here at a time like
  13619. this?"
  13620. Camera then goes to Gene which is knee deep in snow due to the altitude,
  13621. climbing up Mount. Nyotai
  13622. Gene - "This cold is gonna kill me." Holding the video camera in position, he
  13623. sees a sign.
  13624. Sign - "No Men Allowed!! Mount Nyotai Temple."
  13625. Gene - "No men allowed huh! Suits me fine!" Keeps walking past the sign.
  13626. Gene then hit a trip wire with his ankle and sets off a trap.
  13627. Gene - "what the--?" Having realized what he's done.
  13628. All of a sudden a flurry of snowballs followed by a huge boulder sized
  13629. snowball fly down the mountain taking Gene with
  13630. it.()Rolling all the way down he falls into one of the women's hot springs,
  13631. to see a naked female alien.
  13632. Naked alien - "OH!"
  13633. Gene - "I didn't come here to get an eyeful!"
  13634. Gene Back again knee deep in snow climbing up the mountain.
  13635. Gene - "I won't fall for this trap this time!"
  13636. But Sure enough, his ankle again met the trip wire and set off another flurry
  13637. of snowballs followed by a huge one to send
  13638. him tumbling down the mountain again. Camera goes to Suzuka in the hot spring
  13639. bath, sipping on tea.
  13640. Suzuka - "this is what I call a hot spring!"
  13641. Interrupted by a splash caused by a mass of snow and Gene. Both Melfina and
  13642. Suzuka Stand up and grab their towels.
  13643. Melfina - "Gene?" (Surprized)
  13644. Suzuka - "What's the meaning of this? This is the women's bath!"
  13645. Gene - "I didn't come here to get an eyeful!"
  13646. Getting up out of the water and heading back up the mountain. He then pauses
  13647. and turns to take a peak at Suzuka and
  13648. Melfina in their naked splendor. Then Suzuka Rushes swats him with her trusty
  13649. wooden sword. ()
  13650. Suzuka - "You fool!" (yelling).
  13651. Once again Gene makes his way up the mountain..
  13652. Gene - "This time...This time I won't fall for that trap!"
  13653. This time noticing the trip wire he manages to jump over it but falls in a
  13654. second trap which in turn sends him falling down
  13655. the mountain again. Camera goes to Aisha in her own section of the Hot hot
  13656. spring that looks almost like lava.
  13657. Aisha - "meow meow meow ....now this is more like it!"
  13658. Then all of a sudden a huge snowball which held Gene splashed into the lava
  13659. like pool.
  13660. Aisha - "Wha...?"
  13661. Gene then emerges out of the hot liquid
  13662. Gene - "Hot ....HOT HOT HOT HOT! HOT HOT HOT!" Screaming, jumps out on to the
  13663. safety of a nearby rock.
  13664. Aisha - "Now I get it...You came all the way here to get a look at ol' Aisha
  13665. naked huh?" Squeezing her arms together perking out
  13666. her breasts. ()
  13667. Gene - "That's' not it at all! I didn't come here for the--uh" Then his eyes
  13668. met with Aisha's bare body, Flummoxed he then falls back
  13669. in to the spring.
  13670. Gene - "HOT HOT HOT!"
  13671. Aisha - "He's getting all worked up over this? Talk about no control."
  13672. Gene makes his way back up the mountain.
  13673. Gene - "I mean it! I really mean it! This time I'm not gonna fall for their
  13674. traps!" Succeeding, he reaches the summit.
  13675. Gene - "Hey there ain't no temple up here at the summit." Then falls flat on
  13676. his face in the snow.
  13677. Gene - "What the...?" He hears a noise.
  13678. Gene - "I hear women singing down there.." Starts digging the snow beneath
  13679. him.
  13680. He then hit some glass which polishes and peers through and to his surprise
  13681. sees many half dressed young women
  13682. stirring water in a pool with wooden planks. They were all singing in unison.
  13683. Gene - "It's heaven!" He yelp's.
  13684. Gene - "How do I get in?" Banging his clenched fist against the glass.
  13685. Gene - "How do I get in ?" Yelling "Punch through" pulls out his gun and
  13686. shoots it.
  13687. Gene - "No good huh!" Nothing happened.
  13688. Then an explosion knocked Gene out. Waking up, Gene finds the young women
  13689. with planks staring at him angrily and Urt
  13690. sitting in the pool across from him holding his Caster gun.
  13691. Urt - "Considering this gun and your red hair, I think I'll forgive you for
  13692. breaking my ceiling."
  13693. Gene - "So your the wizard of Mt Nyotai huh?"
  13694. Urt - "That is correct, I am called Urt. Well then Red-haired man come with
  13695. me."
  13696. Gene - "Come with me? what do you have in mind?"
  13697. Camera then switches to Gene and Urt having a conversation while playing
  13698. Ping-pong. ()
  13699. Urt - "Really now Ark and Hadul can be such a bother."
  13700. Gene - "They said that if I don't bring back dirty pictures of you, they
  13701. won't give me #9 or #13 shells."
  13702. Urt - "And would you like to see that as well ? Dirty pictures of me?"
  13703. Gene knocks the ball just out of Urt's reach.
  13704. Gene - "I win, I win"
  13705. Urt - "Very well then. I promised that I'd give them to you if you won."
  13706. (pulls out two shells) "These are #4's"
  13707. Gene - "This time do you want to play for those dirty pictures of you?"
  13708. Urt - "If you lose I get to take Dirty pictures of you!" (Gene shudders) "I
  13709. am joking."
  13710. Gene - "You bitch!"
  13711. Urt - "Wait a momment! I'll go and take those pictures then."
  13712. Pulling out her own camera and going into a room with a curtain for a door.
  13713. Gene pulls the curtain open to sneak a peek
  13714. and receives a punch square in the face.
  13715. Urt - "no peeking now!"
  13716. Gene - "Yes ma'am" Blood dripping from his nose.
  13717. Back at the Inner Temple.
  13718. Hadul - "Is that true ? you rally brought back dirty pictures of Urt?!"
  13719. Gene - "Yeah, Taken by the lady herself!" ()
  13720. Gene - "they are right in here." Shows Ark and Hadul the video camera as they
  13721. both yelp with excitement.
  13722. Gene - "Shells" puts out his hand
  13723. Ark - "here"
  13724. Gene - "What ? just one of each!"
  13725. Ark - "Red-haired man, let me give you a word of warning."
  13726. Ark - "These special shells of ours have more powerful magic in them than any
  13727. of the others."
  13728. Ark - "However to activate them in these times of weak mana, a certain
  13729. catalyst is needed."
  13730. Gene - "So what's the catalyst?"
  13731. Ark - "It's..."
  13732. Gene - "Well..?"
  13733. Ark - "The life force of the person who fires the Caster."
  13734. Hadul - "Fire it once and you'll be woozy. Fire it twice and you'll be half
  13735. dead."
  13736. Gene - "In other word's , no multiple discharges."
  13737. Hadul - "Just like.....you know."
  13738. Gene - "Of all the ....." Looks down at his groin.
  13739. Gene - "I got more stamina then that!"
  13740. Ark - "Forget about that...Hurry up and let us see that!" Looks at the
  13741. camera.
  13742. Hadul - "Lord Ark, let's look at them right away!"
  13743. Hadul - "Hurry, hurry!"
  13744. Gene - "Mind if I watch too?"
  13745. Ark - "You sly dog!" nudging him with his elbow.
  13746. The dirty film starts... ()
  13747. Urt - "Dirty pictures of Urt"
  13748. Urt - "Let's get started...!"
  13749. Urt - "Just a bit..." She takes off her belt.
  13750. Urt - "Almost there." Her robe slides off her seductively.
  13751. All three of the voyeurs let out a moans of fulfillment but there seems to be
  13752. a 60 second timer counting down in the
  13753. corner of the screen.
  13754. Urt - "Your such a dirty boy....." She takes off her bra and lets it fall to
  13755. the ground.
  13756. Hadul - "Great ! More....show us more!" Urt slips off her panties.
  13757. Ark - "I wonder what those numbers are for?"
  13758. Hadul - "Who cares about that?!"
  13759. Gene - "Exactly!, Forget it!" the counter now say's 9-8-7...
  13760. Urt - "I can't beleive your still watching...."
  13761. Urt - "You people are idiot's aren't you?"
  13762. The three men say in unison - "Huh ?"
  13763. Urt - "Three."
  13764. Urt - "Two."
  13765. Urt - "One."
  13766. Urt - "Zero."
  13767. The Screen lights up and Bang-BOOM! the entire temple explodes into rubble!
  13768. The video tape was rigged.
  13769.  
  13770. Gene - "T-that bitch!" Blackend with debris.
  13771. Ark - "Urt never would've done cheesecake like that without something
  13772. planned."
  13773. Hadul - "I can die satisfied now..."
  13774. Back in Town at the local merchant.
  13775. Aisha - "Five bean-jam buns, mister!"
  13776. Aisha - "Gene what took you so long?!"
  13777. Gene - "Hey don't talk to me like that. I did get the Caster shells."
  13778. Back at the train station.
  13779. Intercom - "A train is now arriving on track 2. Please stand behind the white
  13780. line."
  13781. Back at the ship.
  13782. Guillium - "It's about time! You don't mind if I launch do you?"
  13783. Gene - "Do it! Set course for the Galactic layline!"Back in the helm.
  13784. Ship launches...
  13785. Back at the ruins of the Inner temple.
  13786. Ark - "A red-haired man with a Caster ...?" Staring at the Outlaw star making
  13787. it's way into space.
  13788. On Mount Nyotai.

  13802. Harry MacDougal. Gwen Khan. Hazanko. Hitoriga. Hamushi. Jukai. Tobigiera. The Outlaw
  13803. Star. The Geomancer. The Shangri-La. Very well then, the cast is assembled. I will
  13804. show you what the Galactic Leyline is. Well, even when you find out you won't be
  13805. surprised. You think you know what its all about do you? Well maybe what you think it
  13806. is is only what you want it to be, or simply something that you want to know. When a
  13807. mystery is solved it ceases to be a mystery, and the curiosity fades with it. Even
  13808. though people know this, they search out mysteries because they like to say "Oh, so
  13809. thats what it was." Yes. Let me start to help you choose these mysteries you want to
  13810. solve. into well known facts.
  13811.  
  13812. // At a space station...
  13813.  
  13814. Fred: Gene, Jim, how are you? Business is just fine over herer. I have both of you to thank in
  13815. more ways than one, but I'd rather do that in person. Thats why I keep agreeing to your
  13816. repeated requests for financial assistance. But remember, as much as I value your hard
  13817. work, the funds I send to you are just an investment on my part. Well, I'll be waiting for
  13818. some good news.
  13819.  
  13820. Jim: Hmm. See, what did I tell ya?
  13821.  
  13822. Gene: Well then, I sure hope we find treasure at the Galactic Leyline. Otherwise we'll have to
  13823. skip town.
  13824.  
  13825. Jim: So how many shells did you manage to get?
  13826.  
  13827. Gene: I have 2 number 4's, and one each of number 9 through number 13. But these babies here are
  13828. really important.
  13829.  
  13830. Jim: They can do some serious damage. Number 4, number 9 and number 13 too.
  13831.  
  13832. Gene: They said not to fire these number 3 type shells one after another. They warned me if I do
  13833. fire it, it will drain my life away.
  13834.  
  13835. Jim: Hah hah, I doubt that.
  13836.  
  13837. Gene: Yeah well I wouldn't be so certain about that Jim. They said that they're too powerful.
  13838. They'll completely drain the life out of whoever fires them.
  13839.  
  13840. Jim: Woah, no way.
  13841.  
  13842. Melfina: Gene...
  13843.  
  13844. Gene: Hey, c'mon, don't look at me like that.
  13845.  
  13846. Melfina: But Gene...
  13847.  
  13848. Gene: We're not gonna get in a situation where I have to fire these shells back to back.
  13849.  
  13850. Melfina: Huh?
  13851.  
  13852. Suzuka: I'm told that the resupply work has been completed.
  13853.  
  13854. Aisha: Hello everyone, sorry I'm late. Don't worry, I took care of all of my errands.
  13855.  
  13856. Gene: Okay then... Time to get this show on the road. The Galactic Leyline's waiting for us.

  13863.  
  13864. // Meanwhile, on the Shangri-La...
  13865.  
  13866. Gwen: Tell me Harry, how do you feel?
  13867.  
  13868. Harry: I'm feeling fine. I can pretty much make the ship do whatever I want.
  13869.  
  13870. Gwen: And thats not all of it I assure you. Mmm Hmm. Not at all. If I'm not mistaken Harry,
  13871. you should be able to navigate your way to the Galactic Leyline without a hitch, just like
  13872. your friend Melfina. Don't worry.
  13873.  
  13874. Harry: I like it when you compare me to her Professor.
  13875.  
  13876. Ron: Remember now Khan, lets keep focused on our true mission here. I didn't go through the
  13877. trouble of tracking you down just to save Harry.
  13878.  
  13879. Gwen: Yes, I know that. I never would have helped you two if I hadn't been humiliated and
  13880. abandoned by those people. They'll pay for the disrespectful way I've been treated I'll
  13881. assure you.
  13882.  
  13883. Ron: Well then, it looks as if we have a common interest.
  13884.  
  13885. Gwen: Yes, thats quite right. It appears my tracer aboard the Outlaw Star's working perfectly
  13886. so far. If we follow them we'll arrive at the Galactic Leyline.
  13887.  
  13888. // Meanwhile, a pirate fleet waits at the Leyline.
  13889.  
  13890. Mages: Pa Gu A Son Fa (many times) Eyah!
  13891.  
  13892. Hazanko: Continue!
  13893.  
  13894. Mages: Pa Gu A Son Fa (many times)
  13895.  
  13896. Pirate: Hazanko... whats the meaning of this, you're not following the orders of the Tendo King
  13897. as commanded.
  13898.  
  13899.  
  13900.  
  13901. Hazanko: I most certainly am. As ordered I have through my own means found the way into the
  13902. Leyline. And I have done so without breaking any laws.
  13903.  
  13904. Pirate: So then why haven't you reported your progress to the Tendo King? Why are you opening
  13905. the Leyline on your own?
  13906.  
  13907. Hazanko: Whats the matter? Doesn't the Tendo King sycophant have any ambitions?
  13908.  
  13909. Pirate: Its just as I thought Hazanko. What you really have in your mind is to betray the king
  13910. and take the Leyline for yourself. Thats it, isn't it?
  13911.  
  13912. Hazanko: Not just the Tendo King. The power of the Galactic Leyline surpasses that of the Tenpai
  13913. Emperor! No, its magnificant power is even greater than that!
  13914.  
  13915. Pirate: Die!
  13916.  
  13917. // The Anten Pirates arrive and kill him.
  13918.  
  13919. Pirate: Blast you... Hazanko...
  13920.  
  13921. // He dies.
  13922.  
  13923. Hazanko: Lets finish this.
  13924.  
  13925. // They blow up the Pirate's ship.
  13926.  
  13927. Hazanko: When the Ovesphere doesn't return, the Tendo King will grow suspicious. Before then
  13928. I'll have in my possession everything the Leyline has to offer.
  13929.  
  13930. Hamushi: A ship has appeared out of sub-ether space. Its heading straight for the Galactic
  13931. Leyline. Oh no, it can't be!
  13932.  
  13933. Hazanko: The XGP!
  13934.  
  13935. // On the XGP...
  13936.  
  13937. Gilliam: That area of space is odd. Electromagnetic waves, gravity waves, either waves, nothing
  13938. I send out comes back.
  13939.  
  13940. Jim: Are you saying it doesn't come up on your sensors?
  13941.  
  13942. Gilliam: Thats right.
  13943.  
  13944. Gene: A malfunction when the Leyline's under our noses?
  13945.  
  13946. Gilliam: My sensors are functioning normally. I'm picking up other ships along that area's
  13947. periferee.
  13948.  
  13949. Gene: You're picking up ships? Why didn't you say so?
  13950.  
  13951. Gilliam: I'll magnify the image for you.
  13952.  
  13953. Jim: Those ships are Kai Pirates! They're all over the place!
  13954.  
  13955. Gene: An ambush!
  13956.  
  13957. Suzuka: Its seems to be many worker ships. That looks like the Geomancer!
  13958.  
  13959. Gene: Wait, you know that ship?
  13960.  
  13961. Suzuka: Its the ship of a man named Hazanko who is said to be a powerful Tao master even among
  13962. the Kai leaders.
  13963.  
  13964. Gene: Hazanko?
  13965.  
  13966. Suzuka: He's a powerful man. And with him, the Anten Pirates, his subordinates.
  13967.  
  13968. Gene: Are you talking about that bunch that attacked us?
  13969.  
  13970. Gilliam: Pirate ships are launching Kung fighters. Count: Many.
  13971.  
  13972. Gene: Alright, prepare for combat.
  13973.  
  13974. Hazanko: I want you to capture the XGP. And then, take Melfina!
  13975.  
  13976. // The battle begins.
  13977.  
  13978. Gene: Take that!
  13979.  
  13980. Jim: They're trying to keep us away from the Galactic Leyline.
  13981.  
  13982. Melfina: A ship is coming out of Sub-Ether space. 700 kilometers to starboard.
  13983.  
  13984. Gene: Reinforcements?
  13985.  
  13986. Gilliam: Now enlarging.
  13987.  
  13988. Gene: Look at that. We got trouble.
  13989.  
  13990. Jim: Wait a minute Gene. Isn't that?
  13991.  
  13992. Aisha: Its the entire Ctarl Ctarl empire's deep space fleet vessel! The Nippapono class cruiser.
  13993. The Aorta Hone Hone.
  13994.  
  13995. // On the ship...
  13996.  
  13997. Ctarl Ctarl Leader: The Ctarl Ctarl empire will lay claim to the Galactic Leyline. Smash anyone
  13998. who dares to get in our way. Gungan cannons, fire!
  13999.  
  14000. Gene: Aisha, what the heck have you done?
  14001.  
  14002. Aisha: Every time we went to a spaceport I always contacted the empire, thats all.
  14003.  
  14004. Gene: What? You gave them the Leyline's coordinates?!
  14005.  
  14006. Aisha: If I don't let them know where I'm going and what I'm doing, my family and friends get
  14007. worried sick about me.
  14008.  
  14009. Hamushi: The Ctarl Ctarl warship seems to be heading straight for the Galactic Leyline.
  14010.  
  14011. Hazanko: Let them do whatever pleases them. We wouldn't have had to go through all this trouble
  14012. if it were possible to force your way into the Leyline.
  14013.  
  14014. Aisha: They did it! This means the whole treasure belongs to the Ctarl Ctarl empire!
  14015.  
  14016. Gene: Oh brother, haven't you ever heard of the expression fair play?
  14017.  
  14018. Jim: There's no use getting upset over it.
  14019.  
  14020. Gene: What do you think, that you're the only one thats in a race to get to the Galactic Leyline?
  14021.  
  14022. Hamushi: The XGP is a formidable opponent.
  14023.  
  14024. Mage: Oh.
  14025.  
  14026. Hazanko: What is it?
  14027.  
  14028. Mage: They are coming this way.
  14029.  
  14030. // The Ctarl Ctarl ship comes out. Everyone on it is going crazy.
  14031.  
  14032. Aisha: Ah! Its the Aorta Hone Hone! Why is it coming back this way?
  14033.  
  14034. Suzuka: Look at their shots. They're firing at random.
  14035.  
  14036. Gene: Turn to 3 o'clock. And do it now.
  14037.  
  14038. Gilliam: Thats crazy. The Aorta Hone Hone would be directly in our path.
  14039.  
  14040. Gene: Thats our only shot at making it to the Leyline!
  14041.  
  14042. Melfina: We'll never be able to dodge them all!
  14043.  
  14044. Gene: Position shields to maximum protection.
  14045.  
  14046. Jim: Ah!
  14047.  
  14048. Gene: Alright, we're going in.
  14049.  
  14050. // And they do.
  14051.  
  14052. Jim: You really did it Gene. Its a straight shot into the Leyline from here.
  14053.  
  14054. Gilliam: Its not registering on my sensors. I'm afraid there doesn't appear to be anything at
  14055. all that I can detect.
  14056.  
  14057. Gene: Melfina!
  14058.  
  14059. // Meanwhile...
  14060.  
  14061. Mage: It seems the XGP has successfully penetrated the Leyline.
  14062.  
  14063. Hamushi: I'm detecting another ship. Receiving transmition.
  14064.  
  14065. Ron: Well well if it isn't Hazanko. What an unexpected pleasure meeting you in this unexpected
  14066. place.
  14067.  
  14068. Hazanko: Ron MacDougal? What are you doing here?
  14069.  
  14070. Ron: I'm letting the XGP lead me to the Galactic Leyline and you'd better guess again if you
  14071. think you're gonna stop me.
  14072.  
  14073. --------
  14074.  
  14075. Eyecatch
  14076.  
  14077. --------
  14078.  
  14079. Hazanko: What do you think you're up to? Loathsome jackals like you don't have a chance of
  14080. getting in there.
  14081.  
  14082. Ron: Jackals, huh? Nah, we're big game hunters. We're gonna take down the XGP for starters, then
  14083. plunder the Leyline.
  14084.  
  14085. Gwen: Yes, you heard right. The knowledge of the universe will be mine.
  14086.  
  14087. Hazanko: Gwen Khan!
  14088.  
  14089. // Meanwhile, inside...
  14090.  
  14091. Gilliam: None of my sensors are picking up anything unusual. I have no idea what is around the
  14092. ship.
  14093.  
  14094. Gene: What is the ship's status?
  14095.  
  14096. Gilliam: All green.
  14097.  
  14098. Aisha: What? Uh oh, whats that noise? Hear that?
  14099.  
  14100. Gilliam: Noise, what noise is that? I am not detecting anything at all.
  14101.  
  14102. Jim: Ah!
  14103.  
  14104. Suzuka: Ah!
  14105.  
  14106. Aisha: OH, my heads gonna split open!
  14107.  
  14108. Gene: Mel, whats going on?
  14109.  
  14110. Melfina: Wait, just wait.
  14111.  
  14112. All: Ah!
  14113.  
  14114. Gilliam: Hold on everyone!
  14115.  
  14116. Hamushi: The Shangri-La is entering the Leyline.
  14117.  
  14118. Hazanko: I cannot believe that Gwen Khan is with them. Well old man?
  14119.  
  14120. Mage: There's just one that still remains.
  14121.  
  14122. // Back on the Outlaw Star...
  14123.  
  14124. Gilliam: I can't sense anything, nothing at all.
  14125.  
  14126. Melfina: This is the spiral. I've adjusted the ship's orientation. This will take us to the
  14127. center of the Leyline.
  14128.  
  14129. // On the Shangri-La...
  14130.  
  14131. Gwen: Whats that noise, its driving me insane! Whats happening, can't anybody make it go away?
  14132.  
  14133. Ron: Harry!
  14134.  
  14135. Harry: Everything's okay Ron. I can see the path. Its getting clear. And I can see her at the end
  14136. of it.
  14137.  
  14138. // Back outside...
  14139.  
  14140. Mages: Pa Gu A Son Fa (many times)
  14141.  
  14142. // The Leyline opens.
  14143.  
  14144. Mages: Yah! Its opening.
  14145.  
  14146. Hazanko: We're now entering the Galactic Leyline!
  14147.  
  14148. // Inside...
  14149.  
  14150. Gene: Melfina, whats our status?
  14151.  
  14152. Melfina: Engine output 70%. We're following a spiral course to Mel.
  14153.  
  14154. Gene: Yeah, you said it.
  14155.  
  14156. Aisha: I guess it looks like the Aorta Hone Hone wasn't up to the challenge.
  14157.  
  14158. Suzuka: So that must be the reason why the Geomancer held its position.
  14159.  
  14160. Jim: What were they doing just standing by like that?
  14161.  
  14162. Gene: Who knows Jim. But I betcha they're cooking up some dirty little scheme and we'll be ready
  14163. for them.
  14164.  
  14165. // Meanwhile...
  14166.  
  14167. Gwen: Oh my. It seems I can't pick up my tracer either.
  14168.  
  14169. Harry: Don't worry I know where they are. They're just ahead of us, we'll catch up with them
  14170. soon. She's all mine now.
  14171.  
  14172. Gwen: Now now son, your underestimating the trouble you would have dating her. Hmm. I wonder
  14173. what would happen.
  14174.  
  14175. Harry: Its okay professor, I already know that she's a bio-android.
  14176.  
  14177. Gwen: You think she's a bio-android? No no, she's considerably different from the standard
  14178. issue bio-androids that we've become familiar with. Different in ways that you can't
  14179. imagine.
  14180.  
  14181. Harry: Yeah? So how's she different?
  14182.  
  14183. Gwen: I'll have to start at the beginning. You see, the Kai pirates came to me and asked me to
  14184. decode genetic engineering data uncovered by them at some ancient ruins called Grave of the
  14185. Dragon.
  14186.  
  14187. Ron: I already know how you designed the XGP after decoding the data Professor, just stick to
  14188. Melfina.
  14189.  
  14190. Gwen: But thats just it. You see, I wasn't able to completely decode it. Some of the data I
  14191. mentioned was something even I couldn't preciseley understand. For lack of a better term,
  14192. I've been calling it a black box. The XGP as well as Melfina were constructed by
  14193. incorporating this black box which I had no idea how to activate as well as knowledge from
  14194. 30000 years ago left behind by some mysterious force. Yes.
  14195.  
  14196. Ron: So you're saying hidden inside the XGP and Melfina is a mystery you can never solve,
  14197. professor?
  14198.  
  14199. Gwen: Yes, yes, yes, thats right! Oh, how can there by so many unsolved mysteries of the universe
  14200. that my brilliant mind can't decifer? Its utterly impossible to fathom! At any rate,
  14201. there's your answer in a nutshell. She's too great a mystery for you to contemplate.
  14202.  
  14203. Harry: I can sense them. At last I found you Melfina!
  14204.  
  14205. Gene: Turn the ship around! Ah man, its the MacDougal brothers! What are they doing here?
  14206. Melfina?
  14207.  
  14208. Melfina: The spiral's collapsing.
  14209.  
  14210. Gene: What just happened there?
  14211.  
  14212. Melfina: I think its a whirlpool. I'm detecting another ship.
  14213.  
  14214. Suzuka: Its the Geomancer.
  14215.  
  14216. Hazanko: Capture the XGP at once. Then destroy the MacDougal Brothers!
  14217.  
  14218. Harry: Don't mess with me!
  14219.  
  14220. // The fight begins between the three ships.
  14221.  
  14222. Ron: Don't try to fight them head on. Go after the XGP.
  14223.  
  14224. Gene: Alright, you loser!
  14225.  
  14226. // The Geomancer grabs the Outlaw Star.
  14227.  
  14228. Gene: Oh no.
  14229.  
  14230. Jim: Gene!
  14231.  
  14232. Suzuka: Gene!
  14233.  
  14234. Aisha: You moron!
  14235.  
  14236. // Harry blast the ship, and they escape.
  14237.  
  14238. Harry: You think I'm gonna let you have Melfina that easily?
  14239.  
  14240. Gene: Lets lose them. Maximum overdrive.
  14241.  
  14242. Ron: After them!
  14243.  
  14244. Harry: I know.
  14245.  
  14246. Hazanko: Don't let them escape, after them!
  14247.  
  14248. Mage: With all due respect we musn't Lord Hazanko. If we deviate from our course we'll never
  14249. stand a chance at reaching the Leyline.
  14250.  
  14251. Gene: Mel, where's that spiral?
  14252.  
  14253. Melfina: We're in the center.
  14254.  
  14255. Gilliam: Kinetic waves. There's something ahead.
  14256.  
  14257. Gene: What, whats that?
  14258.  
  14259. // They approach a strange cylinder.
  14260.  
  14261. Jim: Wha, thats it isn't it?
  14262.  
  14263. Suzuka: Thats what the Kai pirates have been trying to mastermind.
  14264.  
  14265. Aisha: Its where mountains of riches are waiting for us.
  14266.  
  14267. Gene: So thats it, the heart of the Leyline. What do you think we'll find there, treasure or
  14268. monsters? Lets find out.
  14269.  
  14270. // They get sucked in.
  14271.  
  14272. Melfina: The ship is being pulled in. Its like we're being guided.
  14273.  
  14274. Gene: Guided? Don't you think thats a little understated?
  14275.  
  14276. Jim: Oh no, we're gonna crash!
  14277.  
  14278. Gilliam: Acceleration has dropped to approximately 70%. I'm detecting an atmosphere outside the
  14279. ship.
  14280.  
  14281. Jim: So Gene, what are we gonna do now?
  14282.  
  14283. Gene: Show some backbone, will you, the Leyline is sending us an invitation. I say we accept the
  14284. offer.
  14285.  
  14286. // They land nearby.
  14287.  
  14288. Gene: Looks like the end of the line.
  14289.  
  14290. Gilliam: Oh my goodness.
  14291.  
  14292. Gene: Huh?
  14293.  
  14294. Gilliam: Take a look at this Gene. It seems to be some kind of artificial structure.
  14295.  
  14296. Gene: So the rest of the way is by foot, huh?
  14297.  
  14298. Gilliam: The atmosphere is quite breathable. The gravity is approximately 0.974 G.
  14299.  
  14300. Gene: Man, these guys think of everything, don't they? Midn the ship while I'm gone Gilliam.
  14301.  
  14302. Gilliam: Alright. I'll see you later then. Please be careful.
  14303.  
  14304. // At the Geomancer...
  14305.  
  14306. Hazanko: Tobigiera, you can the crew will protect the Geomancer.
  14307.  
  14308. Tobigiera: Yes sir.
  14309.  
  14310. Hazanko: The rest of you will come with me.
  14311.  
  14312. Hamushi and Jukai: Yes lord.
  14313.  
  14314. // Near the Shangri-La...
  14315.  
  14316. Gwen: Well, what do you think Harry? How does your body feel?
  14317.  
  14318. Harry: Ah, it feels great. I'm lighter on my feet than I was in my real body.
  14319.  
  14320. Gwen: Yes, its certainly powerful alright. But remember that body is your life support system.
  14321.  
  14322. Harry: Yes, I understand.
  14323.  
  14324. // Back to the heroes...
  14325.  
  14326. Jim: Man, this place really gives me the creeps.
  14327.  
  14328. Gene: Ugh, looks like a dead end.
  14329.  
  14330. Jim: Okay Gene, what should we do now?
  14331.  
  14332. Gene: Looks like we have no choice we got to go back.
  14333.  
  14334. // Suddenly, bright lights appear and the landscape changes.
  14335.  
  14336.  
  14337.  
  14338. Gene: Hey, whats with the bright lights, man?
  14339.  
  14340. Jim: Its gone.
  14341.  
  14342. Gene: What the?
  14343.  
  14344. Jim: What is this?
  14345.  
  14346. Aisha: The cave's dissappeared!
  14347.  
  14348. Gene: Its like we've been transported to another place.
  14349.  
  14350. Jim: Whats going on Gene?
  14351.  
  14352. Gene: How in the world should I know?
  14353.  
  14354. Suzuka: It seems to me like we're in the cylinder now.
  14355.  
  14356. Aisha: Don't you know whats going on Melfina?
  14357.  
  14358. Melfina: Uh... no, I don't know anything either. I'm confused too.
  14359.  
  14360. Aisha: You are?
  14361.  
  14362. Melfina: I don't even know how I did it. I don't understand why I was able to guide the Outlaw
  14363. Star here. This was the first time I could do it. (cries)
  14364.  
  14365. Gene: Well, we travelled all this way so we could find that out.
  14366.  
  14367. Hazanko: Should I tell you all then?
  14368.  
  14369. Gene and Aisha: Huh?
  14370.  
  14371. Gene: Who are you?
  14372.  
  14373. Hazanko: Its because Melfina has had the secret of the Leyline in her all this time.
  14374.  
  14375. Suzuka: Thats Hazanko. And they're...
  14376.  
  14377. Gene: Yeah, I know. Those Anten guys.
  14378.  
  14379. Hazanko: You will return Melfina to me. She belongs to us now.
  14380.  
  14381. Gene: Melfina isn't your poker chip, Jack. Forget it.
  14382.  
  14383. // Nearby...
  14384.  
  14385. Gwen: Oh my my my my. How amazing was that teleportation?
  14386.  
  14387. Gene: MacDougal!
  14388.  
  14389. Jim: Yeah, and why's Gwen Khan with those guys?
  14390.  
  14391. Leyline: Why dost thou return?
  14392.  
  14393. Melfina: I don't understand, what does she mean by return?
  14394.  
  14395. // A light appears around Melfina and she vanishes.
  14396.  
  14397. Gene: Melfina!
  14398.  
  14399. Leyline: What is thy desire?
  14400.  
  14401. Gene: What do you want?
  14402.  
  14403. Leyline: What is thy desire?
  14404.  
  14405. Hamushi: That voice. Who is it?
  14406.  
  14407. Leyline: Find they desire here on this land.
  14408.  
  14409. Gene: Yeah, I got your desire.
  14410.  
  14411. // A light surrounds Gene and he vanishes too.
  14412.  
  14413. Gene: Ah!
  14414.  
  14415. Leyline: Why dost thy return. Whom does thou guide?
  14416.  
  14417. // Melfina is trapped in some strange structure.

  14449. A silent lullaby
  14450. I pray for reply
  14451. I'm ready
  14452.  
  14453. Leyline: Why dost thou return? Why dost thou return? Why dost thou return?

  14460.  
  14461. // Gene is transported to a new location.
  14462.  
  14463. Leyline: There is but one path. There is but one path.
  14464.  
  14465. Gene; Jim, do you read me? Jim?
  14466.  
  14467. Jim: Gene, are you okay down there?
  14468.  
  14469. Gene: Yeah.
  14470.  
  14471. Jim: What the hecks going on here? What does it mean, "There is but one path"?
  14472.  
  14473. Gene: I don't know. but it looks like we'll have to play along if we're gonna free Melfina.
  14474.  
  14475. // Elsewhere...
  14476.  
  14477. Hazanko: I'm getting tired of playing these silly games. Are you here Jukai?
  14478.  
  14479. Jukai: Of course Lord Hazanko. It seems that all the others were sent elsewhere. Who knows when
  14480. they'll be back.
  14481.  
  14482. Hazanko: No matter, as long as I reach the gate before anyone else does and the key is in my
  14483. position, the other's whereabouts are irrelevant.
  14484.  
  14485. Jukai: Very well my Lord. Pa Gu A Sun Fa
  14486.  
  14487. // He chants it many times, causing Hazanko to fly elsewhere. Meanwhile...
  14488.  
  14489. Harry: Hey Ron, do you read me, come in.
  14490.  
  14491. Ron: Yeah, I read you. Looks like our only option right now is to follow the path you're on.
  14492.  
  14493. Harry: Understood. Melfina, I'm on my way.
  14494.  
  14495. // Meanwhile, Gene encounters Suzuka while running.
  14496.  
  14497. Gene: Suzuka!
  14498.  
  14499. Suzuka: It seems as if all the paths merge as they go along. Lets see where they lead.
  14500.  
  14501. // Elsewhere...
  14502.  
  14503. Gwen: My, this is fascinating. Hmm. Quite fascinating. Perhaps it was a mistake to give the
  14504. MacDougal brothers the coordinates to this place, or maybe it was a good idea in the long
  14505. run. Regardless, as long as I get what I want. Its waiting for me at the end of this
  14506. path. Its simply wonderful. Well must hurry, must hurry.
  14507.  
  14508. // Elsewhere...
  14509.  
  14510. Aisha: Is there really gonna be treasure at the end of this or were they just kidding?
  14511.  
  14512. Jim: How should I know?
  14513.  
  14514. // Back to Gene and Suzuka...
  14515.  
  14516. Gene: Suzuka, why did you come with us on this mission?
  14517.  
  14518. Suzuka: Why is it that men always want to know the why of everything. Its not as if knowing why
  14519. will let you do anything about it. Before you ask me, you should sort out your own
  14520. feelings, don't you agree Gene?
  14521.  
  14522. // They continue on and approach a chasm.
  14523.  
  14524. Gene: Where there are mountains there are valleys, huh?
  14525.  
  14526. Suzuka: Why don't you go first?
  14527.  
  14528. Gene: You really know how to give a man a lot of respect Suzuka.
  14529.  
  14530. Suzuka: I was just thinking the ledge over there might be a little unstable, thats all.
  14531.  
  14532. Gene: So like all of a sudden I'm the lab rat here, huh? Here goes.
  14533.  
  14534. // He jumps it.
  14535.  
  14536. Gene: The experiment was a success. Woah!
  14537.  
  14538. // It collapses beneath him. Gene manages to lift himself back up.
  14539.  
  14540. Suzuka: What next, there's never a dull moment with you is there?
  14541.  
  14542. Gene: Remind me to thank you later.
  14543.  
  14544. Suzuka: Oh there's no need to thank me. Hmm?
  14545.  
  14546. // Hitoriga stands behind her.
  14547.  
  14548. Hitoriga: Its been a long time Suzuka.
  14549.  
  14550. Suzuka: Hmph, you're looking quite well Hitoriga. I'm surprised, running into you like this.
  14551.  
  14552. Gene: Whats going on Suzuka?
  14553.  
  14554.  
  14555.  
  14556. Suzuka: You've been waiting to know for a long time why I came along with you Gene. Well, this
  14557. is why. As I've told you before, I find your people's culture most interesting. But it
  14558. was mainly because I have a long standing score to settle with the Kai Pirates.
  14559. Especially with Hitoriga. So I joined you on this mission. You seemed to be bound so
  14560. closely together with them, so I decided to use you. You must go now Gene. This is a
  14561. battle for me to fight alone. Do you understand? Go on with out me. Melfina's out there
  14562. waiting for you!
  14563.  
  14564. // Gene runs off.
  14565.  
  14566. Hitoriga: Will wonders never cease? I'm surprised that you'd ever consider a partner. So Suzuka,
  14567. are you in love with him?
  14568.  
  14569.  
  14570.  
  14571. Suzuka: I'll give you the answer to that when the time comes. I'll tell you when I kill you.
  14572. As a gift to see you off to the afterlife.
  14573.  
  14574. Hitoriga: Just because I killed off your entire family is no reason to hate me so. We both work
  14575. as killers, you and I. We understand each other.
  14576.  
  14577. Suzuka: Who are you kidding? You're just a pawn for the pirates. And I'm a fool for no one.
  14578.  
  14579. Hitoriga: We seem to have a difference of opinion my dear. Pa Gu A Sun Fa. Pa Gu A Sun Fa. Pa Gu
  14580. A Sun Fa. Pa Gu A Sun Fa. Pa Gu A Sun Fa!
  14581.  
  14582. Suzuka: Ugh!
  14583.  
  14584. // The both of them attack, and both miss. Hitoriga's bag like mask falls off, revealing a face
  14585. identical to Suzuka's.
  14586.  
  14587. Hitoriga: This fight should prove to be amusing Suzuka.
  14588.  
  14589. Suzuka: Let us find out.
  14590.  
  14591. Hitoriga: Heh heh heh. At the very least my dear, we'll discover whom this beautiful face really
  14592. belongs to.
  14593.  
  14594. Suzuka: Well at least we agree on that much.
  14595.  
  14596. // Back to Gene, who'se running along the path they were on...
  14597.  
  14598. Gene: This is the Galactic Leyline? What the heck am I doing here? I feel so helpless, what
  14599. should I do?
  14600.  
  14601. // He runs into Hamushi.
  14602.  
  14603. Hamushi: We meet at last. You're Gene Starwind, hm? My, how handsome. I could show you a good
  14604. time if you'd be interested.
  14605.  
  14606. Gene: I've never turned down an offer from a woman before. But, there's always a first time,
  14607. nothing personal but pirates and I never seem to hit it off very well. Besides, I don't
  14608. exactly feel like talking right now.
  14609.  
  14610.  
  14611.  
  14612. Hamushi: Pa Gu A Sun Fa. Pa Gu A Sun Fa. Pa Gu A Sun Fa. Pa Gu A Sun Fa.
  14613.  
  14614. // Gene fires at her but nothing happens.
  14615.  
  14616. Hamushi: Is that a caster? That isn't gonna work against me Gene.
  14617.  
  14618. Gene: Well, get a load of you. A tough little cookie and a righteous babe all in one. Hmm. Man,
  14619. this stinks, that was just an 11. How about a 10?
  14620.  
  14621. // Elsewhere...
  14622.  
  14623. Jukai: Stop, anyone who dares to interfere with Lord Hazanko will pay the consequences.
  14624.  
  14625. Aisha: Well, what do we have here? If it isn't a bonified pirate flunkie. Jim, just leave this
  14626. to me. You go on ahead, I'll catch up.
  14627.  
  14628. Jim: Why? I wanna stay here and fight him with you.
  14629.  
  14630. Aisha: Yeah, well thanks for the concern but I can handle him.
  14631.  
  14632. Jim: Aisha...
  14633.  
  14634. Aisha: Will you get going?
  14635.  
  14636. // He runs off.
  14637.  
  14638. Aisha: Okay now, I can fight this idiot without worrying about Jim.
  14639.  
  14640. Jukai: Very wise Aisha, you sensed my power and let the child escape before I humilitated you.
  14641. How kind of you. Hah hah hah!
  14642.  
  14643. Aisha: Stop trying to second guess me. You're gonna pay for that. I am your worst niughtmare.
  14644. How in the world did I end up here? I thought I was supposed to be on a treasure hunt.
  14645. Well, nevermind. Always attack the problem that life places in front of your face.
  14646.  
  14647. Jukai: Precisely!
  14648.  
  14649. // The fight begins. Elsewhere...
  14650.  
  14651. Hamushi: That won't work on me no matter how many times you try it. How many shells do you have
  14652. left now?
  14653.  
  14654. Gene: Well, if you really want to know, I have 4 shells left.
  14655.  
  14656. Hamushi: Four shells away from death. When your shells run out you die, Gene Starwind.
  14657.  
  14658. Gene: Thanks for the warning, but you're wrong. Drain your life, huh? Well here goes. Eat this!
  14659.  
  14660. // He fires one of the number 9's. Nothing happens.
  14661.  
  14662. Hamushi: Well, what do we have here? Hah hah.
  14663.  
  14664. // The shell sucks her in. Then it electrocutes Gene.
  14665.  
  14666. Hamushi: Ugh. Aaaah!
  14667.  
  14668. Gene: Aaah! Those blasted things drain your life. They got that right.
  14669.  
  14670. // Meanwhile, Harry is walking around and approaches Melfina.
  14671.  
  14672. Harry: Whats going on? Huh? Melfina! Hold on. You don't have to worry anymore, I'll save you. I
  14673. came here for you Melfina.
  14674.  
  14675. Melfina: Oh no, I'm so sorry Harry but I can't be what you want me to be.
  14676.  
  14677. Harry: But thats not true. You don't have to do anything. Just having you near is enough for me.
  14678. Don't you understand? I love you.
  14679.  
  14680.  
  14681.  
  14682. Hazanko: So there you are. At last we meet, my prize Melfina. Come, open the gate.
  14683.  
  14684. Harry: You better watch what you're saying mister! I'm the only man in Melfina's life so you
  14685. better back off.
  14686.  
  14687. Hazanko: Don't be absurd.
  14688.  
  14689. // Harry attacks him, to no avail. He shoots some missiles at him which deflect.
  14690.  
  14691. Hazanko: Hah hah hah hah.
  14692.  
  14693. // Harry shatters Hazanko's mask.
  14694.  
  14695. Harry: Ah!
  14696.  
  14697. Hazanko: You'll pay for that you worm.
  14698.  
  14699. // Hazanko kills Harry.
  14700.  
  14701. Melfina: Uh, Harry!
  14702.  
  14703. Harry: Thats the first time that you ever talked to me like that Melfina.
  14704.  
  14705. // Harry dies.
  14706.  
  14707. Melfina: Harry!

  14713. --------
  14714.  
  14715. Melfina: What have you done?
  14716.  
  14717. Hazanko: You needn't concern yourself. Just fulfill the task that has been given to you.
  14718.  
  14719. Melfina: The task? What do you mean?
  14720.  
  14721. Hazanko: Enough of this. Remember what I tell you Melfina. You are the key sent to open the gate
  14722. that lies here before you. As the maiden of the Leyline, you will pass along my prayers.
  14723. I admit it was our fault that the XGP was stolen from us to begin with. Because of that
  14724. embarressing deception, I had to drop everything I was working on to come here.
  14725.  
  14726. Melfina: What are you saying? What do you mean?
  14727.  
  14728. Hazanko: Save your breath, your questions are meaningless. After all, you're just a puppet in
  14729. this game.
  14730.  
  14731. Melfina: Uh.
  14732.  
  14733. Hazanko: Come on, be a good little girl and open the gate for me.
  14734.  
  14735. // That happens.
  14736.  
  14737. Melfina: No! Let me go, please, let me go!
  14738.  
  14739. Hazanko: Leyline Project Command; It was you who broke my mason plate. The path has been opened.
  14740.  
  14741. // He heads on through.
  14742.  
  14743. // Meanwhile, back to the battle...
  14744.  
  14745. Hitoriga: You're an extraordinary woman, Suzuka. I really do love you, in spite of what you might
  14746. think. Thats why I took this face. And you went to all this trouble to see me. With
  14747. a mountain of treasure right in front of you, you turned it down and chose me.
  14748.  
  14749. Suzuka: My individuality is whats important to me. Everything in my world is an extension of that
  14750. standard. But you wouldn't understand that, whould you?
  14751.  
  14752. Hitoriga: No, I don't understand. But then you don't understand my feelings either now do you.
  14753. Sun hara bu!
  14754.  
  14755. // He attacks her.
  14756.  
  14757. Suzuka: Ah!
  14758.  
  14759. Hitoriga: Heh heh heh heh. Now isn't thta too bad. I wanted to take you alive, but I guess I
  14760. don't know my own strength.
  14761.  
  14762. Suzuka: It was I who let you hit me. I wanted to experience the pain that you inflicted on all
  14763. those that you hurt. You've had your chance, and now its my turn.
  14764.  
  14765. Hitoriga: Oh really? Sun hara bu!
  14766.  
  14767. // This time, she gets through his attack and attacks herself.
  14768.  
  14769. Suzuka: Heeyah!
  14770.  
  14771. Hitoriga: Ugh! Suzuka, I've never seen that technique.
  14772.  
  14773. Suzuka: Its called Crimson.
  14774.  
  14775. Hitoriga: You never used it back then, did you?
  14776.  
  14777. Suzuka: No I didn't. I invented it afterwards just for you.
  14778.  
  14779. Hitoriga: I see. Ugh.
  14780.  
  14781. // He dies. Meanwhile, Aisha battles Jukai inside a tornado. They come out, Aisha falls over and
  14782. turns back to normal.

  14785.  
  14786. // Jukai dies.

  14791. // Elsewhere...
  14792.  
  14793. Gwen: My isn't that fascinating. Oh my my. Oh my goodness. Whats this? Oh my goodness, looks
  14794. like Hazanko's work. Unfortunately he got here before I did.
  14795.  
  14796. Ron: Harry... Harry... You were the only brother I ever had. Hazanko did this to you Harry,
  14797. didn't he, that bastard, I'll kill him with my own 2 hands.
  14798.  
  14799. Gwen: Is it in here? Its in here isn't it. It is, isn't it.
  14800.  
  14801. Ron: Wait Professor. You stay here with Harry, I'll go in.
  14802.  
  14803. Gwen: Huh? What for? Why should I stay behind? Especially when no one worked harder than I to get
  14804. us here in the first place.
  14805.  
  14806. Ron: And if my little brother's gone as a result Professor, you should bear some of the
  14807. responsibility, don't you think?
  14808.  
  14809. Gwen: What? Now thats utterly preposterous, its not even logical.
  14810.  
  14811. Ron: Yeah, well for a man who just lost his only brother its logical enough Professor.
  14812.  
  14813. Gene: Great. I finally make it to the finish line and that babe doesn't even wait for me.
  14814. MacDougal, Where's Melfina?
  14815.  
  14816. Ron: Well if it isn't Gene Starwind. Now that I think about it, it was you and Hilda that started
  14817. this rediculous party.
  14818.  
  14819. // The two of them shoot their casters, cancelling each other out.
  14820.  
  14821. Ron: You keep trying the same thing over and over again. Well I'm tired of playing and now you're
  14822. going to suffer like Harry did!
  14823.  
  14824. Gene: Well your a little late. For your information that shell I just fired was a number nine.
  14825.  
  14826. Ron: A number nine? Do they actually exist? But it looks like it didn't do any kind of damage at
  14827. all. Huh?
  14828.  
  14829. // The caster shell sucks him in too. Gene gets shocked from it and passes out. He has a visions
  14830. of his youth. Next, he flashes back to when Melfina woke up.
  14831.  
  14832. Melfina: Leyline project activated.
  14833.  
  14834. Gene: She was crying, wasn't she?
  14835.  
  14836. Hilda: But that wasn't why you saved her Gene.
  14837.  
  14838. Gene: Hilda.
  14839.  
  14840. Hilda: An Outlaw must always be a lone wolf without letting anything holding him down. You can
  14841. never count on anyone but yourself. But then sometimes you want to feel the warmth of
  14842. another body, you know?
  14843.  
  14844. Gene's Father: Gene, whadda ya say, you gunna go up into space with your old man or not?
  14845.  
  14846. Hilda: No one's gunna give you a map. you gatta walk your own path. Gene Starwind.
  14847.  
  14848. Gene's Father: Gene, I've lived my life following my dreams. And I don't have any regrets. And
  14849. now it's time for you to move on son. I'm countin' on ya.
  14850.

  14858. do now?

  14871.  
  14872. Gene: Yeah. What happened?
  14873.  
  14874. Jim: I don't know. I found you here lying unconcious. Looks like Harry MacDougal was killed some
  14875. where along the way.
  14876.  
  14877. Gene: Really? well I wasn't the one killed him.
  14878.  
  14879. Jim: Where did Mel go?
  14880.  
  14881. Gene: Up ahead probably. I gotta go after her.
  14882.  
  14883. Jim: Okay, lets go.
  14884.  
  14885. Gene: Jim, I want you to head back to the Outlaw Star
  14886.  
  14887. Jim: But Gene.... Can't I... Can't I do anything to help you?

  14889. Gene: I only have two caster shell left. And if I run out of these I want you and the Outlaw Star
  14890. to rescue me. We've made it through all the hard time with our great team work Jim. I've
  14891. always been out on the frontlines as the point man and you're....
  14892.  
  14893. Jim: ...The backup.
  14894.  
  14895. Gene: I'll bring Melfina Back. You can count on it. Now you go find Suzuka and Aisha and stand
  14896. by in the ship alright?
  14897.  
  14898. Jim: You've got it.
  14899.  
  14900. Gene: If we make it through this I'll bring us back a mountain of treasure.

  14909.  
  14910. Gwen Khan: Well my, my, my. Welcome Gene, welcome.
  14911.  
  14912. Gene: Gwen Khan!
  14913.  
  14914. Gwen Khan: That's right, that's right. I am Gwen Khan The imenent Gwen. But listen now I'm in a
  14915. fix, I can't move ahead. I'm in quite a predicament. It seems that the doors are
  14916. locked from the inside. It's very frustrating because the gate is open and it
  14917. shouldn't be difficult. I really must go on. What a jam, what a jam!
  14918.  
  14919. Gene: Damn it! Do something! Your the one who started this stupid game!
  14920.  
  14921. Gwen Khan: Stop it! Stop it please! I just want to know! I just want to know!
  14922.

  14929.  
  14930. // Gene prepares to shoot him.
  14931.  
  14932. Gwen Khan: No don't! He's already dead. You'll just be wasting ammunition. The auxilary units in
  14933. his body are keeping him alive barly, that's all. He's like a phantom, Nothing will
  14934. affect him. I know. Do you think Give it a try. I think you'll find melfina on the
  14935. other side.

  14947. whole thing. Melfina!
  14948.  
  14949. Melfina: Harry!
  14950.  
  14951. Harry: I'm so glad I made it in time. I'm sorry Melfina, I had such plans for us together but now
  14952. all that I can do is wake you up. I'm sorry that I couln't do more. But there's something
  14953. else that i've been wanting to tell you all along.
  14954.  
  14955. Melfina: Harry.
  14956.  
  14957. Harry: Good bye.

  14965. Harry: My work is finished. Go, Gene and listen to the beutiful song she sings.
  14966.  
  14967. Gene: A song?
  14968.  
  14969. Harry: Yes that's right. Ask her to sing it again but only for me.
  14970.

  15006. supplicant.
  15007.  
  15008. // A face similar to Melfina's comes out of the top of the Leyline.
  15009.  
  15010. Face: That which has come with the maiden, tell me, what is thy desire?
  15011.  
  15012. Hazanko: Power, immense power, so absolute that even the Tendo King would bow before me and allow
  15013. me to crush the emperor.
  15014.  
  15015. Face: That is thy desire?
  15016.  
  15017. Gene: Hey there, hold on a minute. At last... I came for my second place prize.
  15018.  
  15019. Hazanko: Blast it, Gene Starwind!

  15030.  
  15031. Gwen: Well, and the third one after all. How efficient of you. Now I don't have to destroy
  15032. anyone. So tell me, is the Leyline the accursed record?
  15033.  
  15034. Face: It has that power, however. Its power goes beyond that.
  15035.  
  15036. Gwen: Oh, so its the Keylines. Causality can be manipulated here. Hense the name Leyline. By
  15037. manipulating the factor we call fate, as if it were a physical law. Can I finally learn
  15038. what I want to know? Everything I want to know?
  15039.  
  15040. Face: I will answer all. I will bestow all.
  15041.  
  15042. Gene: Gwen Khan. This is my last shell. You wanna taste it?
  15043.  
  15044. Gwen: Just a moment, now just wait a minute. If I'm not alive you see, if I die, everything that
  15045. I've learned will be lost forever. Don't you understand?
  15046.  
  15047. Gene: So this is the treasure room, huh Professor? Melfina, are you okay? Melfina?
  15048.  
  15049. Melfina: Gene.
  15050.  
  15051. Gene: How do I turn Melfina back to the way she was?
  15052.  
  15053. Gwen: Gene, wake up. We've finally reached the Leyline. Aren't you happy? Or at least curious?
  15054. Come, come, what is it that you want? Is it political power? Or is it money? Information?
  15055. Nothing you can imagine is unreasonable. You can claim it. Anything. Anything you want.
  15056. Everything you want is right here. Right now.
  15057.  
  15058. Face: Thou who has come with the maiden, what is your desire?
  15059.  
  15060. Gwen: What, whats that?
  15061.  
  15062. // Hazanko returns.
  15063.  
  15064. Hazanko: I am Hazanko. A caster attack will not work against me. It is useless.
  15065.  
  15066. Gene: And I am Gene Starwind. An outlaw not in the habit of listening to warnings. I'm here to
  15067. take back Melfina.
  15068.  
  15069. Hazanko: Heh heh heh. You and your friends don't know the first thing about her. Using the
  15070. secrets that we have uncovered, Melfina is a mere puppet that we have created.
  15071.  
  15072. Melfina: Huh?
  15073.  
  15074. Gwen: Yes, yes, thats right, thats quite right. She's a puppet.
  15075.  
  15076. Gene: Shut up Khan.
  15077.  
  15078. Hazanko: The Leyline project was founded a long time ago through the secret wisdom of the grave
  15079. of the dragon. It produced a puppet that would be the key to entering the Leyline. This
  15080. puppet was to function as a highly sophisticated navigational system that would
  15081. eventually open the doors of the Leyline. That puppet is none other than Melfina.
  15082.  
  15083. Melfina: So I'm just a mere puppet?
  15084.  
  15085.  
  15086.  
  15087. Gene: Thats enough!
  15088.  
  15089. Melfina: You knew all along Gene?
  15090.  
  15091. Gene: Melfina, the answer you needed wasn't in your past. The answer you were looking for is...
  15092.  
  15093. Hazanko: I'll give you that answer. Melfina, you're nothing more than a tool that we needed.
  15094.  
  15095. Melfina: So you brought me here because you knew you could use me too Gene?
  15096.  
  15097. Gene: No, I didn't!
  15098.  
  15099. Hazanko: Oh really?
  15100.  
  15101. Melfina: This whole time I've been your tool?
  15102.  
  15103. Hazanko: Thats it precisely.
  15104.  
  15105. Gene: He's lying!
  15106.  
  15107. Hazanko: Absurd!
  15108.  
  15109. Gene: Yeah!
  15110.  
  15111. Melfina: Gene!
  15112.  
  15113. // Gene shoots his last shell. Hazanko counters. There's an explosion.
  15114.  
  15115. Gene: Aaaaaah!
  15116.  
  15117. Leyline: Danger. Danger. They are gone. They are gone. Return them. Return them.
  15118.  
  15119. // On the Geomancer...
  15120.  
  15121. Tobigiera: Its already been almost 24 hours since Lord Hazanko set out. I can't believe that no
  15122. one has contacted the ship.
  15123.  
  15124. // On the Outlaw Star...
  15125.  
  15126. Jim: Gilliam, has there been any word from Gene yet?
  15127.  
  15128. Gilliam: I'm sorry, but I've received no word at all.
  15129.  
  15130. Suzuka: Jim, lets just try to remain calm and wait for him.
  15131.  
  15132. Aisha: Thats right, just try and stay calm. Stay calm. Stay calm. Ahhh! How can I stay calm at
  15133. a time like this?!
  15134.  
  15135. // On the Shangri-La, a cyborg like Ron wakes up with Harry on a computer screen in front of him.
  15136.  
  15137. Harry: Hey Ron, are you awake?
  15138.  
  15139. Ron: Harry... is that you?
  15140.  
  15141. Harry: Not in the flesh. I'm now the Shangri-La's main frame computer. I made a backup just in
  15142. case something happened. Almost as good as my original, huh?
  15143.  
  15144. Ron: Amazing.
  15145.  
  15146. Harry: I was able to trace down the sensors in your body and bring you back here to recuperate.
  15147. You're badly hurt Ron, so I'm afraid you'll be in there for a while. But whatever happened
  15148. to my original? Do you know?
  15149.  
  15150. Ron: Something too horrible to mention. Harry, lets pull out for now. But this is not over yet,
  15151. is it?
  15152.  
  15153. Harry: No, it isn't. Not by a long shot. We'll show 'em what happens when you cross the MacDougal
  15154. brothers.
  15155.  
  15156. Ron: The MacDougal brothers, huh?
  15157.  
  15158. // They leave. Meanwhile, electric currents move towards the ships.

  15171.  
  15172. Melfina: Gene!
  15173.  
  15174. Gene: Melfina.
  15175.  
  15176. Melfina: Gene, I'm now connected to the will and the desires of the Galactic Leyline. Hazanko's
  15177. Tao magic and your caster's power have somehow reacted and cancelled each other out and
  15178. we've all ceased functioning.
  15179.  
  15180. Gene: Are we dead then?
  15181.  
  15182. Melfina: The answer to that is both yes and no. The will of the Leyline is keeping us alive in
  15183. a different location. In my current state I can explain to you what the Galactic Leyline
  15184. is. Its like a galactic library left by a now extinct race that possessed a highly
  15185. advanced understanding of science and technology. However to humanity, we may think of
  15186. it as like a machine god. After you finished healing yourself, and return to reality,
  15187. the Leyline will probably grant your every desire.
  15188.  
  15189. Gene: Are you saying that this isn't reality?
  15190.  
  15191. Melfina: This is data.
  15192.  
  15193. // They are in the data world.
  15194.  
  15195.  
  15196.  
  15197. Gene: Is this cyberspace?
  15198.  
  15199. // Gwen Khan appears.
  15200.  
  15201. Gwen: Hello Gene. Thanks to you I learned what I wanted to know. Now I have the answers to my
  15202. questions. Well goodbye then, I am data, and data's me. Goodbye. Goodbye.
  15203.  
  15204. Gene: He makes absolutely no sense.
  15205.  
  15206. Melfina: This is the data repository. Professor Khan's objective must have been to gain as much
  15207. knowledge as possible. Gene, is there something you desire? Say it. By using the
  15208. Leyline, I can grant anything your heart desires and make it real. Gene.
  15209.  
  15210. Gene: There isn't anything the Leyline can give me. All I really want is for you to return with
  15211. me.
  15212.  
  15213. Melfina: Gene.
  15214.  
  15215. Gene: Oh no, I made you cry again. Melfina, what is it that you wish for?
  15216.  
  15217. Melfina: I want to stay who I am. I want to be with you forever Gene.
  15218.  
  15219. Gene: Well thats what I want too.
  15220.  
  15221. // They kiss.
  15222.  
  15223. Gene: Then come away with me Melfina, right now.
  15224.  
  15225. Melfina: Yes. Oh.
  15226.  
  15227. Gene: What is it?
  15228.  
  15229. Melfina: Hazanko is preparing to leave here right now. He has all the power that he wished for.
  15230. If we don't stop him the entire universe will be in danger.
  15231.  
  15232. Gene: What should we do?
  15233.  
  15234. Melfina: We'll join forces, I'll combine my power with yours and then we'll fight him to the end.

  15261. Jim: Its a miracle isn't it.
  15262.  
  15263. Gene: Yeah, must be. I met God.
  15264.  
  15265. Melfina: Gene... we're currently linked directly to the Galactic Leyline. Nows the time to free
  15266. your mind and fight with all you got. You should be much stronger than usual.

  15351. // At Clyde's Bar...
  15352.  
  15353. Iris: Hey Clyde, guess what I heard, Gene's come back to Sentinel 3. How come he hasn't come in
  15354. yet?
  15355.  
  15356. Clyde: I'm not sure. Good question.
  15357.  
  15358. // At jail...
  15359.  
  15360. Guard: Alright, get out Gene Starwind.
  15361.  
  15362. // Outside, Jim gets him.
  15363.  
  15364. Jim: I'm not surprised.
  15365.  
  15366. Gene: Man, I can't believe they haven't forgotten about that.
  15367.  
  15368. Jim: Just be glad that you're only getting off with a 200000 wong fine. You really trashed the
  15369. space port's equipment.
  15370.  
  15371. Gene: Thats because we were attacked by those pirates, remember? Anyway, I hear the air traffic
  15372. controller was in on it.
  15373.  
  15374. Jim: Thats why you're getting off with just a fine.
  15375.  
  15376. Gene: Hmm. Hey, where did you get the 200000 from?
  15377.  
  15378. Jim: Same place as always. He lent us what we needed to resupply. But he wants to hear how we're
  15379. planning to repay him, so whats the plan?
  15380.  
  15381. Gene: A crime is a crime. If he can't wait until we make it big, we'll just have to skip town
  15382. on him.
  15383.  
  15384. Jim: Hit it big huh?
  15385.  
  15386. // At the spaceport...
  15387.  
  15388. Fred: I can't believe Twilight Suzuka has been travelling with Gene all this time without me
  15389. knowing.
  15390.  
  15391. Suzuka: Don't worry about it. My employer can't seem to get together the cash to pay my fees so
  15392. there's no longer any reason for me to try to hurt you.
  15393.  
  15394. Fred: Actually, I had a little something to do with that. So, staying on with him? Well?
  15395.  
  15396. Suzuka: Gene says that he's going to be headind to the Arasean system but I've already been
  15397. there so I think I'll decline and weigh out my other options.
  15398.  
  15399. Aisha: I'm gonna try and make ends meet here somehow until the empire gives me the free ride
  15400. home they promised me.
  15401.  
  15402. Jim: Hey Fred, are the parts loaded?
  15403.  
  15404. Fred: They were loaded a long time ago. This brings my loan to you to about 1.6 million wong.
  15405.  
  15406. Jim: Send the payment plans to that loser.
  15407.  
  15408. Fred: Speaking of which, where's Gene?
  15409.  
  15410. Jim: Um... he's out seeing someone.
  15411.  
  15412. // Melfina is at the graveyard.
  15413.  
  15414. Gene: Who's the bouquet for?
  15415.  
  15416. Melfina: For everyone who's gone because of the Leyline. Its the least I could do.
  15417.  
  15418. Gene: Thats nice.
  15419.  
  15420. // He grabs her cheek like he did before.
  15421.  
  15422. Melfina: Ugh.
  15423.  
  15424. Gene: Hey, don't forget what happened to you back there. You are you, you know?
  15425.  
  15426. // She does the same.
  15427.  
  15428. Melfina: Don't worry, I haven't forgotten. I know I'm still me, thats all I need to know.
  15429.  
  15430. Melfina and Gene: (laughs)
  15431.  
  15432. Gene: Hey, what do you say we get out of here?
  15433.  
  15434.  
  15435.  
  15436. Melfina: Sure.
  15437.  
  15438. // They do stuff at the port and the ship gets ready to take off.
  15439.  
  15440. Gene: Outlaw Star, now ready for liftoff.
  15441.  
  15442. // It takes off
  15443.  
  15444. ---------------
  15445.  
  15446. See You Later
  15447.  
  15448. ---------------
  15449.  
  15450. // Later...
  15451.  
  15452. Gene: Oh man... how the heck could we break down in the middle of nowhere like this?
  15453.  
  15454. Jim: Because we keep cutting corners on our maintence bill.
  15455.  
  15456. Gilliam: It seems the parts replacement and repairs have been completed.
  15457.  
  15458. Repair Guy: The repairs are all done. Just sign here please.
  15459.  
  15460. Gene: Yeah, fine.
  15461.  
  15462. Repair Guy: Okay, thats everything. Bon voyage for now.
  15463.  
  15464. Gene: Yeah right thanks a lot.
  15465.  
  15466. // The guy leaves.
  15467.  
  15468. Gene: Well, what do you say we get going... huh?
  15469.  
  15470. // They find Aisha and Suzuka in the control room.
  15471.  
  15472. Gene: Suzuka? Aisha? What are you two doing here?
  15473.  
  15474. Suzuka: I've already been to some of these places, but it may prove more interesting with you
  15475. people. We hitched a ride with the Repair Ship guy.
  15476.  
  15477. Aisha: And when I thought about it, you guys still owe me for all of those times I saved ya.
  15478. Until you guys pay me back in full, I don't think its going too far to say your ship and
  15479. all of its equipment belongs to me.
  15480.  
  15481. Gene: Alright fine, you got me.
  15482.  
  15483. Gilliam: It appears everybody is ready, I will prepare to get us underway.

  15490.  
  15491. Narrator: Gene Starwind, native of planet earth, outlaw age 20. His partner is Jim Hawking, age
  15492. 11, computer engineer. Additionally, it has been confirmed that his navigator is
  15493. Melfina. Rumor has it that he is accompanied by an assassin who goes by the name
  15494. Suzuka; and a Ctarl Ctarl named Aisha, but until we have more information this remains
  15495. unconfirmed. His ship is called the Outlaw Star. For a new outlaw yet to make a name
  15496. for himself, his reputation precedes him. However, the nickname he earns for himself
  15497. will depend on the effect of his future actions.
