(Scene: We return to the prison transport, one of the guards (A Stegosaurus in futuristic clothes and carrying a weird looking rifle) passes by Hrothgar's cell, Hrothgar takes the cigarette out of his mouth, throws it on the ground, and steps on it. He then stretches out on the bed and looks at the walls.)
{Hrothgar} (Looks out from the cell) Guard…how long is this trip.
{Guard} (Looks back at Hrothgar) In your case…we'll be arriving at Canamar in three hours, I wouldn't suggest getting too familiar with that cell you're in now…because they don't have anything remotely that nice there.
{Hrothgar}Thinking: Who knows, I may not have to wait that long…or see Canamar for that matter.
(Scene: We flashback to see Hrothgar and Hilary packing to leave with the man in the trench coat…they load there luggage onto the van waiting outside, hug there 'parents' good bye, get into the car and they drive off.)
{Hrothgar's Voice} I distinctly remember the first hour and a half of that drive…we were taking back-roads I had never been down, about ten minutes into the drive I started asking questions about my parents, like 'what was my father like?' or 'what did he do for a living?'.
The man in the trench coat said that my father was a kind and reliable man…in the years the stranger had known him when our father said where he was going to be and when he wanted you to show up, you knew better than to be late. As for the career…the stranger told me that he and our father were business partners of a certain trade, tradesmen of sorts…they traded everything, spices, jewelry…and something else I didn't quite catch. About an Hour and Twenty minutes later the stranger asked us to take these tablets he gave us, we did as he asked…after that everything became a blur, I don't remember where we going or where we stopped because I fell asleep.
(Scene: Young Hrothgar awakes in a bedroom, a computerized voice suddenly says: 'Good Morning Hrothgar…I hope you had a good rest.' Hrothgar (still somewhat drowsy) lumbers out of the bed and searches for the bathroom, lights come on and he finds it easily. He quickly relieves himself and takes a look around the room, there's a comfy looking chair and desk next to the bed, a closet, and on the desk is a computer…but instead of the computer having a keyboard it has a bunch of lights on the side of the screen.)
{Hrothgar}(Scratches his head) Where am I?
(Suddenly (as if to answer his question) one of the rooms walls retracts to reveal a window…he can't believe his eyes when he sees the earth outside his window, he is in outer space!)
{Hrothgar} (Both Amazed and Scared) Whoa!
(The door to Hrothgar's room opens and in steps a man wearing a silk vest and white t-shirt, he is also wearing jeans and has 'buckle' shoes on. His hair is sort of a black tinged with blond and goes down to his shoulders.)
{Hrothgar} Who the heck are you?!
{Man}Settle down young friend…you're safe, maybe not what you wanted to see outside your window…but you've been on Earth for so long I bet you never guessed you be above it one day, did you…oh, they call me Lt. Jack.
{Hrothgar}(Holds his hand out but is still suspicious) Nice to meet you Jack, but where am I is my next question?
{Lt. Jack}(Shakes Hrothgar's hand) Well to answer your question, you're on a spaceship name the Callisto…but that's all the captain wants you and your sister to know for now, use the computer if you have anymore questions.
(Lt. Jack leaves the room, Hrothgar peaks out the door and sees Lt. Jack's shadow turning the corner of the hallway…it is met up by a monstrous shadow going the other way, Hrothgar fine-tunes his hearing to hear their conversation)
{Unknown Shadow} So they're awake…did you tell them what they need to know for now?
{Lt. Jack}(Nods) I only told them the name of the ship…but I do suspect that the girl might be ready to know more soon.
{Unknown Shadow}(Sighs) I can't wait to meet them face-to-face soon, I was friends with their father…I'd like to see if what Capt. Arkanai said is true.
{Lt. Jack} You'll get your chance soon enough Nassir, just wait a few more hours.
(Hrothgar closes the door to his room, he hears the door to the room across from his open…he peaks back out, it's Hilary.)
{Hrothgar}Hilary!
{Hilary}(Jumps back a bit) Oh, Hrothgar…don't scare me like that.
{Hrothgar}Okay sorry, but besides that…do you know anything else about this place?
{Hilary}Just the name of the ship and that's all. Do you remember how we got up here?
{Hrothgar}(Shakes his head) No more than you.
(Hrothgar and Hilary re-enter their rooms, Hrothgar fools around with the computer and finds some games on it, he plays a game of Pong against the computer, three games of Tetris, and a game of Solitaire before he hears a knock on the door. He opens it to find a meal of Parmesan Chicken, Swiss chard, and a dozen cherries with an ice cold glass of milk laid out for him and Hilary; he takes it in and eats it to his heart's content. Suddenly he hears a huge CLANG followed by a clicking noise, he looks out the window just before it closes up…he sees a huge engine hooked up just about 700 feet from his window. He just has enough time to see that they're leaving Earth's orbit. There's another knock on the door, he opens it to find a root beer float. He takes it into his room and drinks it, suddenly there's a jolt that nearly makes him lose his balance, the computerized voice comes on saying: 'now entering warp 1.7')
{Hrothgar}I feel like I'm in Star Trek…but I haven't seen William Shatner yet, so that can't be.
(Lt. Jack enters the room)
{Lt. Jack} I hope the meal was to your satisfaction?
{Hrothgar}It was…but I'd really like to meet the captain of this boat.
{Lt. Jack}The captain will see you when he thinks it's time.
{Hrothgar}Okay then, I invoke Parlay!
{Lt. Jack}(Winces) Had a feeling you would do that…come with me.
(Lt. Jack leads Hrothgar down the hallway to an elevator, they stepped in. 'Bridge' Lt. Jack replied, and the elevator started right up.)
{Lt. Jack}(Gives Hrothgar a worried look) Now are you sure you're ready for this?
{Hrothgar}(Nods)
{Lt. Jack}Okay.
(Scene: The elevator finally comes to a stop, and they step onto the bridge…there Hrothgar sees that there are not only humans on this ship, but dinosaurs as well…all wearing human clothes and speaking English, one of them, a Dimetrodon wearing a shirt with the sleeves torn off and a black jean vest and blue jeans walks over to them and smiles at Hrothgar.)
{Dimetrodon}Hey Hrothgar…so it is true, you do look like Alistair…my name is Nassir, nice to finally meet you.
{Hrothgar}(Faints)
{Hrothgar's Voice}(Laughing slightly) Yeah, first time Nassir and I met and I faint…of course that doesn't happen anymore.
(Scene: Hrothgar awakes to find himself in another room, he see a little girl looking at him from his bed.)
{Little Girl}You okay mister.
{Hrothgar}(Rubs his eyes) Yeah…I had the strangest dream though.
{Little Girl}(Runs to the door) Lt. Jack, Dad, he's awake!
(In steps Lt. Jack and another man, Hrothgar recognizes him as the man in the trench coat.)
{Lt. Jack}(Looks at the man) I'm sorry I let him onto the bridge captain…but he invoked the rule of Parlay.
{Hrothgar}(An amused look on face) So you're the captain…well I have a suggestion that you keep an eye on what you serve to this crew because I think there might be hallucinogens in them because when I was brought to the bridge I thought I saw a Dimetrodon standing right in front of me (starts laughing).
(Both the captain and Lt. Jack shoot each other a worried look)
{Captain}(Looks at Hrothgar) I hate to tell you this Hrothgar…but you weren't hallucinating, or dreaming for that matter (Looks outside the door) Nassir…you can come in now.
(Nassir enters and smiles at Hrothgar)
{Nassir}(Gives an apologizing look) I'm sorry Hrothgar…I forgot you grew up on Earth, the only dinosaur you've probably seen is in a museum.
{Hrothgar}(Looks as if he's about to faint again)
{Captain}Hrothgar…you don't have to be afraid of Nassir….He was a friend of your father.
{Hrothgar}(Shoots a spiteful look at Nassir) Are you sure he didn't eat him?
{Lt. Jack}Hrothgar, don't think like that…Nassir was a good friend of your father, he'd never have done something so cannibalistic!
{Captain}That entire aside…My name is Arkanai, welcome to the Callisto.
(Hilary enters the room)
{Hrothgar}(Looks excited) Hilary…do you see this, a Dimetrodon, a dinosaur standing right before us!
{Captain}I'd suggest you both get some rest…I'll introduce to the rest of the crew later.
{Nassir}(Looks at the captain) I'll escort the children back to their rooms…if you don't mind?
(Scene: Nassir escorts them back, Hrothgar is so nervous he doesn't even try and make eye-contact with Nassir. When they get back to their rooms Nassir puts his hand on Hrothgar's shoulder.)
{Nassir}You should be proud to be here with us Hrothgar; Capt. Arkanai is a good man.
{Hrothgar}I'll take your word for it.
{Hrothgar's Voice}I know I shouldn't have been so judgmental of Nassir…but you have to understand this was a long time ago, I'm much more understanding now.
