Scene 1- Shot in the Light
Setting: Street on Mars (Can be the same as Street on Venus, if coloring is changed to red with lights.)
(ED runs from the right exit to the left one, back out the left one and into the right one, and then from the right one to the center one. FAYE enters from the right.)
FAYE
Ed! Come back here! You don't want to get lost on Mars… oh damnit, she's lost. Speaking of lost… Shadow and Spike went this way… Wonder why they snuck off together. Old syndicate buddies… no way, he wanted her…
(FAYE wanders into midstage, then is stopped by SWITCH and ROCK, coming from the center and left exits.)
FAYE
Uh, hey guys, you wouldn't have happened to see a tall guy in a blue suit with a girl with green hair around here, would you? I'm uh looking for them…
SWITCH (to ROCK)
She's with them. She must be the one that Blade told us to find.
ROCK (To FAYE)
Actually, miss, I have. If the man's name is Spike, we were sent to look for you.
FAYE
So where'd he go?
SWITCH
That is irrelevant.
(SWITCH draws a gun and shoots FAYE. FAYE clutches wherever it is most likely she got hit (her stomach, hopefully), falls to her knees, coughs violently (as if she coughs up blood), and then slumps forwards, "dead".)
ROCK
The plan is into effect. The sensors on the ship still read that it is empty.
SWITCH
The others may be back at any moment. We've got to get her onto the ship quickly.
(SWTICH and ROCK pick up FAYE and drag her offstage, out the right exit)
(JET and TALENA wander onstage from the center and left exits. They walk to each other and meet in midstage)
JET
Any sign of Ed?
TALENA
Not at all.
JET
Oh well, she's a smart kid. She'll turn up eventually.
TALENA
Back to the ship?
JET
Okay.
(They exit right)
