Escaflowne: Red Planet.
AN: OK, so this is my first esac ff, and I would start off with the whole Hitomi going back to Giea thing but to tell you the truth there are so many of those fics out there its just getting boring now, isn't it? So this is a fic based on the movie Red Planet. If you haven't seen the film don't worry, I'm gonna put enough description in it so you understand it any way. I was watching the film a while ago and i noticed that the cast of escaflowne would fit into the characters almost perfectly, its really funny how well they fit lol.............any way theres no Merle or Millerna in this so er- sorry.....i guess.
Heres a list of the esca cast and their character equivalent in the film, just for those that have seen it:
Gallagher = Van
Bowman = Hitomi
Burdhenal = Allen
Santen = Dryden
Pettengil = Dilandau
Chantilas = Folken
(Strange names I know, but hay I didn't make the film did I! and I'll be using the Esca names e n way.)
By the year 2000, we had begun to overpopulate, pollute and poison our planet faster then we could clean it up. We ignored the problem for as long as we could, but we were kidding ourselves. By 2025 we knew we were in trouble and began to desperately to search for a new home.
Mars.
For the last 20 years we've been sending un-manned probes with algae- bio-engineered to grow there and produce oxygen. We're gone build ourselves an atmosphere we can breathe, and, for 20 years it seemed to work. It looked like we'd pulled it off, we'd done it.
Then all of a sudden oxygen levels started to drop. We don't know why.
The international community has thrown all of its resources behind us. Its the greatest undertaking man has ever attempted. Our ship, Mars 1, is to massive to launch from the surface of the planet, and we've shuttled here, to the high-orbit space station for a low gravity launch, to begin our sixth month trip.
The first manned mission to Mars.
The hope and survival of man kind rests on us, but I know we'll solve the problem, because the best scientific minds are going there to figure out the answer. and I'm leading the mission.
I'm Hitomi, pilot and mission commander. Folken, chief science officer and the soul of the crew. Dryden, a hot head but a fine co-pilot. Van, our mechanical systems engineer, maintenance, frankly not my first choice.
The two civilian members of the team are, Allen, one of the worlds leading bioengineers and his own greatest hero. Dilandau, terra-forming expert and last minute replacement on the science team.
And, packed up in her box, A.M.E.E.- autonomous-mapping-exploration and evasion, a multi-task robot on loan from the Marines. In other words our Mars surface navigator.
We're the first travellers to another planet. It's another giant leap for man kind, and if we don't figure out what's wrong on Mars, it could be our last.
Thetas just the introduction, I'll post the chapters the minute I know what I'm gonna put in 'em lol so review and tell me if you want it to continue, the only reason I'm doing this is to shift the writers block I have for another story so if you think the ideas crap, fine I'll forget the whole thing. So tell me what you think.
