Episode 4 "Teardrops"
It is a windy morning in New York City. But miles away in New Boston the weather is calm but the sky is foggy. Through the fog you can see Boston Memorial Hospital as it towers above its surroundings and disappears into the foggy skies. On the 4oth floor is where the Invid Sera is hospitalized. Under the care of the best doctors in the world, Sera seems to be stabilizing…
Dr. Marquiss: Hmmm… Dr Martin can you come here for a second.
Dr. Martin: Sure Joe, what's up?
Dr. Marquiss: It seems that the baby is perfectly healthy despite Seras current condition. It is amazing that her body could continue to support another life.
Dr. Martin: Baby?
Dr. Marquiss: You didn't know?
Dr. Martin: When we examined her there was no signs of pregnancy… Call Lancer up here..
Meanwhile in the waiting area there is a page… "Lancer, will you please come to room 4001 immediately"
Lancer: Huh? I'd better get going. Perhaps this is good news… (Lancer stops in his tracks or ... bad news)
Lancer makes his way to the room where Doctors are waiting.
Dr. Martin: Lancer did you know that Sera was pregnant.
Lancer: Of course.
Dr. Martin: During the examination, we were unable to detect a pregnancy. The Invid make up is quite complex. However, not much unlike our own make up. We are still learning much as were go. I wanted to communicate to you however that we will be attempting to extract the baby within the next 48 hours. We feel that this will enable Seras natural recovery mechanisms to restore Seras health…
Lancer: OK.
Dr. Marquiss: However, there is the potential risk that the baby may not survive such a premature extraction. It's a catch 22. Therefore we need your approval to perform the operation… I'll give some time to think about it before making your decision…
At that moment the warning buzzer sounds from Seras heart and respiratory monitor…
Dr. Martin: Doctor I need your assistance, give me a hand with the shock treatment.
Lancer stands with a blank stare on his face..
Lancer: SERA!
Dr. Marquiss: Nurse get him out of here!!!
Nurse: But…
Dr. Martin: NOW!!!
Nurse: I'm sorry Lancer you must go to the waiting room.
As the nurse escorts Lancer to the waiting room against Lancers will Lunk and Marlene walk into the waiting area.
Marlene: Lancer! Old buddy.. I'm so sorry about what happened. Here perhaps these will cheer you up. These are apples hand picked from my new farm… Lancer?
Lancer is oblivious to the fact that there are others in the room he falls to the floor grief stricken and begins to weep…
Marlene: OH NO!!!
Lunk: Oh no come on Marlene I need your help in cheering up Lancer, don't you both go week on me…
Marlene begins to cry…
Lancer What's wrong Marlene. Can you sense that sera is sick?
Marlene: Um… I… It's terrible. I'm losing her.
Lancer: What do you mean… "losing her"?
Marlene: Please Sera you must be strong! Fight it Sera!
Meanwhile in the hospital room…
Dr Martin: It's no use! We must save the baby! Nurse, hand me a scalpel.
As the nurse gives the Doctor a scalpel, he immediately takes the necessary action of extracting the infant from its dying mother. The operation though inextricable, was successful. The baby was immediately taken to life support by the nurse. In the waiting room the mood becomes solemn.
Lancer: Please Marlene, tell me what you can sense.
Marlene: Sera… she's going to die.
Lancer: How can you be so sure?
Marlene: We Invid are all connecting telepathically. We can feel each others pain and emotions. I can tell you that sera loves you very much and that she wishes she had the strength to fight for her life. But she just doesn't have the strength. She is sorry and disappointed that she will not be able to share her most precious moments of her future with you.
Marlene drops to the floor in anguish…
Marlene: THIS HURTS SO MUCH… (MARLENE SCREAMS AT THE TOP OF HER LUNGS) WHY MUST IT END THIS WAY!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! SERAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!
Silence fills the room as onlookers stare in disarray. In the background there are people whispering among each other… " Is that Lancer" some ask. A child approached Lancer….
Child: Can I have your autograph?
Childs Mother: No… Jimmy come here! Can't you see that he is in pain… I'm sorry about that Lancer. Is Sera going to be OK?
Lancer runs through the doors down the hall to Seras hospital room. He bursts through the room door where he sees the two doctors and a priest. The doctors shed tears as they look into Lancers eyes. Lancers tears fall down his face. At that moment a nurse walks in carrying a newborn baby girl. The baby is crying as it longs for her mothers touch. This infant will never now her mother. The nurse hands the baby over to Lancer…
Nurse: I know that this is a time of mixed emotions for you. I'm sorry for the loss of your wife. May this baby remind you of the love you had for Sera… God Bless!
Lunk and Marlene solemnly enter the room. The doctors leave to give Lancer a few moments alone with what was one his soul mate. Full of the abundance of life and the spirit of love. The doctors forgot to turn off the heart monitor as the eerie sound of a flat line fills the room.
Lunk: I'm so sorry Lancer.
Marlene: Me too.
The heart monitor automatically shuts down as silence now permeates throughout the hospital. The entire staff wanted so much to save Sera…
There is an announcement on radio stations through out the world. As simultaneously there is a silence that seems to fill the entire earth. There is nothing at all making any noise, not even animals. The only sound is that of the wind as it blows through New York City. And the crying newborn as Lance places it on the chest of it's dead mother. From the ceiling monitor the doctors get a birds eye view of Lancer kneeling weeping silently beside the bed of his dead wife, and crying daughter. Lunk and Marlene both stand near the foot of the bed with their heads hung low Rook and Rand walk into the room slowly with blank stares.
The scene now switches to Haydon where the Regis is located. To zoom in on her face would give evidence of her shedding a tear as she can sense that her princess has ceased to exist.
