[Bridge]
(Everyone on the Bridge is staring at Taujan's back, as he analyses some sensor data.)
TAUJAN: No doubt about it, Captain. The space debris comes from the seeding vessel S.S. Rachita.
KIDD: Lost for a thousand years, and now this junk in space.
TAUJAN: Portions of the zero-point module, personal belongings. Captain, no signs of bodies whatsoever.
KIDD: Then whatever destroyed that seeding ship, the crew was able to get off safely. Navigator, compute the present drift of the wreckage.
TAUJAN: Curious, Captain.
KIDD: What is?
TAUJAN: I am picking up an H-3 class atmosphere on the second planet, genetic engineered humanoid life signs. However, metallurgic analysis indicates a pre-slipstream civilization, a level of technology equaled to a twentieth-century Earth.
KIDD: What's curious about, Mister Taujan?
TAUJAN: I'm detecting a modulated energy discharge that appears to be consistent with the recent use of a replicator.
WILLAMS: Yeah, right. Captain, replicator technology was invented about a thousand years ago.
KIDD: So, was the S.S. Rachita.
TAUJAN: As I said before. It comes from planet two, star system eight two nine, directly ahead.
(Taujan soon points to a three-dimensional holographic image of a small blue planet with red-green continents on it.)
WILLAMS: Only one sixteenth parsec away, Captain. We should be there in seconds.
KIDD: Standard orbit around the planet. Let's see what the byproduct was. Shall we, Mister Taujan?
TAUJAN: Affirmative, Captain.
WILLAMS: Coming up on the planet, Captain.
(A blue planet with lots of water, a few red-green continents and just a few wispy white clouds.)
TAUJAN: H-3 class atmosphere, Captain.
KIDD: Which means, Mister Taujan?
TAUJAN: It means, Captain. That it's atmosphere is oxygen-argon-nitrogen mixed instead of just two mixes.
WILLAMS: So what?
TAUJAN: So, its atmosphere is: 30% oxygen, 30% nitrogen, and 40% argon.
WILLAMS: Yeah, right. Mister Taujan. It's definitely class M, somewhat similar to Earth.
TAUJAN: Yes, similar. But the land masses and oceans are quite different, however.
KIDD: Different in shape only, Mister Taujan.
TAUJAN: I also picked up indications of large cities.
KIDD: What era?
TAUJAN: There's some sign of atomic power, and far enough along for radio communications, power transportation, an excellent road system.
NABVER: Captain, both amplitude and frequency modulation being used. I think I can pick up something visual. It's a news broadcast using a system I think they once called video.
TAUJAN: Television was the colloquial term.
KIDD: Put it on the screen.
NABVER: Aye, sir.
(A black and white image of people watching as police in crash helmets arrest someone. There is a hovercar in the foreground. Very 1950s or 60s.)
VOICE [OC]: Today police rounded up still another group of dissidents. Authorities are as yet unable to explain these fresh outbreaks of treasonable disobedience by well-treated, well-protected, intelligent slaves. Now turning to the world of sports and bringing you the taped results of the arena games last night. (a sword fight) The first heat involved amateurs. They're petty thieves from City Prison. Conducted, however, with traditional weapons, it provided some amusement for a few moments. In the second heat, a slightly more professional display in the spirit of our splendid past, when gladiator Julius Marcus Vipsanius killed the last of the barbarians, Flavius Claudius Aetius, in an excellent example of
NABVER: Transmission lost, sir. Shall I try to get it back?
KIDD: Slaves and gladiators. What are we seeing, a twentieth-century Rome?
TAUJAN: Captain, as I said before. It's a pre-slipstream society of genetically engineered humanoid life forms that are the results of the S.S. Rachita. And yet, somehow they got their hands on replicator technology.
NABVER: My theory is that: The rudimentary replicator technology may have accidentally crashed on this planet of pre-slipstream society of genetically engineered humanoid life forms when the S.S. Rachita suffered some damage about a thousand years ago.
TAUJAN: You're theory, Number One, is pretty logical.
KIDD: Ready the transporter room, Mister Taujan. We're beaming down on to the surface of the planet.
VOICE [OC]: Aye, sir.
[A hillside]
(The landing party of three is beamed onto a ridge, nicely silhouetted against the clear blue sky. All three of them are also wearing futuristic gas masks.)
KIDD: You could have selected a more convenient place, Mister Spock.
TAUJAN: But hardly more practical, captain. Close to the city we located, but not populated. We should not be observed.
(They head down the steep slope. Taujan takes some quantum computering scans.)
TAUJAN: Fascinating. This atmosphere is remarkably similar to Earth's twentieth century. And yet, there's no pollution containing substantial amounts of carbon monoxide and partially consumed hydrocarbons at all.
GLAGLIB: The word was smog.
TAUJAN: Yes, I believe that was the term. I had no idea you were that much of a historian, Doctor.
GLAGLIB: I am not, Mister Taujan. I was simply trying to stop you from giving us a whole lecture on the subject. Jake, is there anything at all we know about this planet?
KIDD: The S.S. Rachita was the first seeding ship to make a survey of this star sector when it was accidentally destroyed by an oncoming meteor storm in it's vicinity. It's mission was to place a specific race of genetically engineered orangutans and then force evolved them into a humanoid race.
GLAGLIB: Just like, when they put a specific race of genetically engineered chimpanzees on Rigel seven four one to also force evolve them into a humanoid race specific for quantum mechanics. They managed to get five million years worth of evolution in three solar years on that planet.
KIDD: Right, doc. This was also a recon trip. A five year check, strictly routine, to make sure that they also force evolve the alien amino acid chain of this planet into alien plant life.
GLAGLIB: Will then, what happen after that?
KIDD: They had been trying some new enhancement technique to help them accelerate the evolutionary process of both the specific race of genetically engineered orangutans and the alien amino acid chain of this planet. It soon topped their best projections.
GLAGLIB: How, so?
KIDD: They got five million years worth of forced evolution per five solar years.
(Glaglib whistles.)
TAUJAN: Then Space Syndicate Directive number B-31 is in full force, Captain?
KIDD: No identification of self or mission. No interference with the social development of said planet of pre-slipstream genetically engineered life forms.
GLAGLIB: No references to space, or the fact that there are extraterrestrial life that only exist in smaller forms of life here in this galaxy, or that there could be more advanced extraterrestrial civilizations that hopefully exist in other galaxies.
KIDD: Let's go.
GLAGLIB: One, just once, I'd like to be able to land someplace and say, Behold, I am the fallen archangel Lucifer Morningstar.
TAUJAN: I fail to see the humor in that situation, Doctor.
GLAGLIB: Naturally. You could hardly claim to be an angel with you being a genetic engineered reptile humanoid life form, Mister Taujan. And yet, say you landed someplace with a pitchfork in your hands, Mister Taujan.
(A gunshot rings out.)
TITUS [OC]: Don't move! Hands in the air!
TAUJAN: Complete forced parallel evolution. The language here is definitely English here.
(Kidd tries to go for his plasma gun, and another shot hits the ground near his feet.)
TITUS [OC]: I said, don't move!
KIDD: I think he means it, Taujan.
TAUJAN: There would seem to be evidence to that effect.
(Four muscular men with orange-red hair appear from behind rocks. They are wearing t-shirts with a short chain motif at the neck. The leader is barefoot and wearing shorts.)
TITUS: Who are you?
KIDD: We come from another province.
TITUS: (to Taujan) Where are you from? What do you call your features?
TAUJAN: I call it my skin. Thank you, very much.
TITUS: Are you trying to be funny?
TAUJAN: Never. Colloquial twentieth-century English. An amazing forced parallel evolution.
KIDD: We come from a place that's quite some journey from here. I doubt if you've heard
TITUS: Uniforms. Probably some new Praetorian guard unit. I should kill you here, but Sextus would probably be displeased. Move. Move!
(As they are lead along, a muscular guard with the same orange-red hair whistles the signal that they are approaching, and two more muscular men with the same orange-red hair come out of a hidden cave.)
