               (At Sea)



               EXT. OCEAN

               The carrier is still launching planes like crazy and is
               actively shooting out all of its cruise missiles before the
               carrier reaches Davie Jones' Locker.

               The carrier is incredibly beautiful as all of the projectiles
               light up its hull.

               The planes fly only a couple of meters over the ground as
               they penetrate a radar hole.

                                                                CUT TO:



               EXT. OUTSIDE EASTERN NAVAL FACILITY

               The planes fly around to flank the facility. The planes reach
               a clearing in the trees and pull up without going up to
               drastically reduce their speed and at the same time remain in
               midair as the chopper blades begin to accelerate.

               The helicopters get closer to the ground. At 5 M Zeus jumps
               out into a perfect shoulder roll, he pulls his assault riffle
               to his shoulder during the roll. Zeus remains kneeled as he
               looks through the infrared scope.

                                   ZEUS
                         All clear, all units proceed.

               All units drop behind Zeus including the pilots. The newly
               converted assault choppers fly in front of Zeus as they
               spearhead the assault.

               Zeus gets up and charges the base.



               EXT. EASTERN NAVAL FACILITY

               Zeus with his 16 STEX and 2 heliplanes kill 38 STEX who are
               now pouring out of the dry docks on either side of where Zeus
               is charging. Zeus makes it to the water front where Zeus and
               3 of his 4 remaining STEX dives in and set the charges on the
               vessels.

                                   L
                         I'll get a water scarab to pick you
                         up.

                                   ZEUS
                         See I knew you'd find an exit.

                                   L
                         The general had better send an air
                         lift though.

               (At Sea)

                                   ZEUS
                         He's the most reliable man I know.

               Zeus places a few mines and kills a few STEX that are
               shooting him from the dock.

                                   ZEUS
                         All mines are in place, L do you
                         have our ride.

               The lieutenant coms him-

                                   L
                         Yep go to this nav point, I will
                         pick you up.

               Zeus has to go there and surface.

               L is coming up on Zeus in a really fast boat, like a scarab.
               Zeus covers L's escape, by sniping a few people. As the
               scarab draws near-

               Zeus gets picked up by his elbow. The boat maneuvers to pick
               the 3 other commandos.

               Zeus is thrown in the boat, as it begins to regain its
               previous speed.

               Show scarab going head on towards the camera as-

                                   ZEUS
                         Detonate all charges

               all the ships in we dock are blown up.



               EXT. OCEAN JUST OUTSIDE EASTERN NAVAL FACILITY

               The lieutenant begins to call-

                                   L
                         HEY sky, I am nearing the mine net,
                         need air pick up immediately.

                                   SKY COMMANDER
                         We've got a bird in the area,
                         prepare for a wire pickup.

                                   L
                         Yes Sir.

               The seals connect each other via wire to a central
               carabineer.
               A harrier type plane hovers above them with a matched speed.
               On the screen the mine field is quickly approaching.

               (At Sea)

               Random Seal connects the tether to the carabineer, then Zeus,
               then L, then the 3 remaining STEX.

                                   L
                         LIFT.

               The harrier pulls up as it accelerates forward, ripping the 5
               off the deck of the still moving scarab.

               In the distance is 3 other fast enemy vessels.  A missile
               comes into view in the distance.

                                   ZEUS
                         MISSILE INBOUND!

                                   ENGLISH PILOT
                         I know .. Hold on.

               The jet inverts itself as it gains altitude, then the pilot
               pulls the stick up pulling a 12 gee turn as thrusters engage
               just as the jet is about to skim over the water. The three
               are still dangling and as the plane flies over the water,
               they bounce off of the water.

               The missile attempts to follow before it gets buried in the
               sea.

                                   ENGLISH PILOT
                         Ok we are heading back to base now.
                         Shouldn't take more than a few
                         minutes.



               GRABING INFORMATION FROM A MOUSE CLASS DESTROYER



               EXT. OCEAN AND SKY COMMAND CENTER

                                   TITAN
                         Hold that thought pilot, we need
                         your seals for another mission.

                                   ENGLISH PILOT
                         Who the fuck are you.

                                   ZEUS
                         I know that voice better listen to
                         him pilot.

                                   TITAN
                         Thank you Zeus, you are needed for
                         another mission.

                                   ZEUS
                         Well do I have a choice?

                                   TITAN
                         No, we just cornered an immobile
                         and virtually defenseless, mouse
                         class destroyer intelligence
                         reports that there is good intel
                         inside.

                                   ZEUS
                         And we just happen to be the only
                         disposable seal team in the area?

                                   TITAN
                         Yep. If we wait much longer they
                         will probably find a way to self-
                         destruct it. You will see the
                         destroyer in about 2 minutes, over
                         and out.

                                   ZEUS
                         Shit one after another, how much
                         ammo you got?

               Zeus distributes the ammo and equipment as he sees fit.

               small assault helicopters pass over the destroyer firing high
               rpm machine guns and small rockets to the surface to take out
               the miniBiMAV resistance.

               EXT. OCEAN NEAR EASTERN DESTROYER

               The harrier slows down to hover mode as it approaches the
               destroyer.

               The harrier and helicopters attack the surface as Zeus and
               the seals snipe any remaining personnel. A few seconds later
               the harrier takes Zeus about 2 M over the deck.

                                   ENGLISH PILOT
                         Dropping now.



               EXT. EASTERN DESTROYER OUTER DECK

               English Pilot releases the wire and leaves the scene.

               Zeus has absolutely no idea what the design of the ship is,
               nor does anybody. Zeus has to take control of the entire
               ship.

                                   ZEUS
                         Let's move in.



               INT. EASTERN DESTROYER DECKS

               The soldiers begin going into the decks killing people
               sporadically.

               After a while Zeus and his team of 4 others makes it to the
               command center of the ship Zeus uses a hot knife to cut a
               hole in the door to enter the command room. The commanders
               surrender. Zeus puts them in monitor necklaces that render a
               person unconscious if they do anything bad.

                                   ZEUS
                         We've got the commander we are
                         ready for secondary incursion team.

               A group of specialized engineers and crewmen arrive by
               submarines to fix and sail the ship away. The Lieutenant is
               the only of the 5 that survives the ordeal.

                                                                CUT TO:



               BATTLE OVER BRITAIN



               INT. BRITISH BRIEFING ROOM

               Zeus is taken to the field commander.

                                   TITAN
                         Hello I have been anticipating your
                         arrival. Just listen to this
                         briefing, I will talk to you once
                         you've seen it.

               This is projected on the wall as a woman's voice reads the
               text with a little more commentary.

               -----------------------Mission Briefing-----------------------

                                   FEMALE BRIEFER
                         We are losing the battle over
                         Britain. An Eastern diplomat is
                         meeting with us tomorrow. We will
                         discuss a cease-fire and subsequent
                         evacuation of Britain.

                                   FEMALE BRIEFER
                         However given their great foot hold
                         in Britain and our utter hopeless
                         in this region that you have
                         personally witnessed, we are in no
                         position to gain anything but the
                         assisted evacuation of critical and
                         military personnel.

                                   FEMALE BRIEFER
                         To make our decision to sign to an
                         inadequate surrender even clearer,
                         the East has prepared a large
                         strike force to violate the above
                         cease-fire, and assault a variety
                         of targets, one of which will
                         capture the meeting place itself.

                                   FEMALE BRIEFER
                         Obviously given this vital intel we
                         will stop this horrendous violation
                         of international law, but once they
                         have been shot down illegally
                         approaching our borders, we will
                         have a chance to strike them where
                         it hurts.

               (Battle Over Britain)

                                   FEMALE BRIEFER
                         Your division is to, as soon as the
                         signal is given around 3 o'clock,
                         move directly upon the "Kissinger"
                         Air Base.

               Show on map.

                                   FEMALE BRIEFER
                         Because of the space superiority
                         over Britain only short range radio
                         communications are viable, thus no
                         sky commander will direct this
                         operation.

                                   FEMALE BRIEFER
                         Our latest intelligence is given
                         here, however it is 6 days old.
                         Here is the Sky commander's
                         recommendation of an attack
                         strategy.

                                   MALE BRIEFER
                         As soon as your intent is observed,
                         fighters will be scrambled. I
                         recommend that you split your
                         forces into two.

                                   MALE BRIEFER
                         One force consisting of a large
                         concentration of surface to air
                         vehicle should move to the North of
                         the base to shoot down any fighters
                         leaving this string of runways.

                                   MALE BRIEFER
                         Also some of the commando
                         helicopters will have a chance to
                         turn around, by placing this
                         contingent here both incoming and
                         outgoing aircraft may be disposed
                         of.

                                   MALE BRIEFER
                         The second force should be very
                         strong, consisting mostly of tanks
                         and heavy BiMAVs. The majority of
                         the infantry should be in this
                         group. Although the force to the
                         North will close in on the base,
                         the force from the South East will
                         be the spearhead of the offensive.

               (Battle Over Britain)

                                   MALE BRIEFER
                         The artillery North of the
                         diplomatic meeting will crater this
                         point on the runway to keep any
                         planes from taking off. After that
                         the self destruction of the crafts
                         at the air base should proceed.

                         This facility is relatively robust
                         and should be taken over by a
                         commando team, in order to further
                         cripple their ability to launch air
                         campaigns.

                         Finally you should barricade
                         yourself the building overlooking
                         the diplomatic meeting to provide
                         sniper coverage to protect the
                         diplomatic proceedings.

                         This should give us the leverage we
                         need to secure a viable evacuation
                         and reassert the cease-fire. When
                         the cease-fire is declared, make it
                         crystal clear by announcing it on
                         loud speakers.

                                   MALE BRIEFER
                         Please refrain form any fire
                         whatsoever, and gather your forces
                         and proceed north to guard the
                         border as the evacuation commences.

                                   MALE BRIEFER
                         If no cease-fire is declared or you
                         fail, I will take direct command
                         over the situation. Hopefully it
                         will never come to that. Good luck
                         to you all.

               Zeus's 24 STEX charge down forming a picket line across the
               length of the hanger.

               The Western STEX charge forward around docked jets. 32 enemy
               STEX die because they were too dispersed in the hanger. Zeus
               only loses 13 of his 23 STEX killing 32. One of the
               specialists on the team sets all of the crafts to self

               keeping the meeting diplomatic. The fact that they are there
               is why there is no action at the meeting.

                         Fine at the hour we will both stop
                         fighting.

               The British tanks and BiMAVs from the South East begin
               rolling again, firing upon the disorganized infantry outside
               the diplomatic meeting. The bombardment continues, until the
               last second, where the last wave of artillery is launched.
               After fighting for a few minutes most of the enemy forces are
               dead.

                         down and await transport. A cease
                         fire has been enacted. I repeat
                         stand down on all engagements.

               seconds into the cease fire, the shells from the Western
               artillery to the North hit around the Eastern infantry near
               the base. Everybody on both sides take the message seriously.

                         Thanks to the valiant efforts of
                         Zeus we have taken the moon from

                         But as you all well know that is
                         not the end of the war. The East
                         has won the outer solar system and
                         as we speak they are beginning to
                         get far more resources from the

                         are being received in ________
                         class colonies positioned in

                         __________ colonies receive
                         asteroids about every 10 minutes

                         connected to a temporary inner
                         fabric that wraps around the
                         asteroid after it is received to
                         begin to digest it.

                         around the permanent outer fabric
                         to receive the next asteroid.

                         This is our entry point. 8 STEX
                         will latch onto 1 of these
                         asteroids and ride it until it is
                         about to reach the receiving bay
                         then jump away to ride the outer
                         fabric into the colony. The 8 STEX
                         will automatically divert lasers to
                         cut off the 8 inner defense

                         of the invasion. All 16 STEX from
                         each dolphin that are not deployed
                         in the central facilities will use
                         bungi cords to reach the surface of
                         the colony while the jockeys will
                         have to grab onto cables coming
                         from the dolphins.

                                   TITAN
                         If we can capture the colony's
                         security center we can disable the
                         consumption of the asteroids
                         keeping the old asteroid in place
                         at the stretched out receiving
                         site. Now what do you think is
                         going to happen when the next

                         ground and their ports are just too
                         damn thick. You will need to find a

                         to the outer solar system, giving
                         us total domination over the Sol
                         System.

                         If your mission fails then all
                         missions will fail then our fleet
                         will be swarmed by a horde of
                         Eastern carriers. We cannot have
                         this happen!

                                   ZEUS
                         Don't worry we're going to kick



               SOME FUCKING ASS.

                                   EVERYBODY
                         Cheering.

               SPC. NEAR ASTEROID

               Catch asteroid, radio silence.

               SPC. ON ASTEROID

               Zeus and the others push away from the asteroid far before it
               is near the rotating colony, and the waiting planar catcher.

               The Western soldiers spread out uniformly away from the
               center of the asteroid, STEX thrusters begin to decelerate
               Zeus. The asteroid goes on ahead and pulls the great canvas
               as the uniform tensile force is diverted to the side of the
               colony, where all of the stopping power is.

                                                                CUT TO:



               INT. BRAKING SYSTEM IN ASTEROID REFINEMENT COLONY

               Show one of the pistons seen through a diamond window in the
               security station.

                                                                CUT TO:



               SPC. JUST OUTSIDE COLONY'S ASTEROID RECEIVEMENT CENTER AND



               INT. WESTERN SKY COMMAND CENTER

               The canvas is now at around a stable 50 degrees to the
               oncoming STEX, the central canvas disconnects from the now
               conical permanent canvas, as it begins to use its momentum to
               wrap around the asteroid that is moving at a leisurely
               velocity into the colony. Later it will finnish wrapping and
               begin refinement of the asteroid.

               Zeus and the others hit the permanent canvas almost near the
               edge of it.

               The STEX hit it feet first and pointing to the center. When
               they do hit they are slammed into the hard material that is
               not quite taught, there is a lot of give, as the canvas
               converts their momentum inward towards the conical center.

               There is supposed to be much friction between the back of the
               STEX and the canvas so that the STEX can slow down his liner
               motion and begin rotating with the colony, but Zeus's
               friction is not enabled.

                                   ZEUS
                         SUIT, FRICTION ACTIVATE!

                                   STEX
                         I do not understand that command.

                                   ZEUS
                         ACTIVATE FRICTIONAL BACK!!

                                   STEX
                         Activating.

               (Asteroid Jockey)

               What is happening to the other STEX is they slow down and
               begin rotating with the colony, and the artificial gravity
               brings them down into the ground.

               Zeus is going to fast now to be decelerated enough by the
               virtual force of gravity-

                                   ZEUS
                         Artemis help me out.

                                   ARTEMIS
                         Activating rockets.

               The rockets help slow Zeus down.

               Meanwhile tensile cables are being rotated around certain
               tracks to pull the new central canvas around to the center.
               The cone of the asteroid receiver is becoming more obtuse as
               it is being pulled back into its ready and planar position.

               Zeus is now falling slowly as he looks over at the now taught
               central canvas.

               Zeus leaves the now conical asteroid receiver-
