1812 and Blue came across some luck. Apparently the commerce planet the crew was visiting requires all ships landing and leaving the planet be detained for a 28-arn quarantine before they can go past the space port or leave the planet. Thus giving the new movie producers a minimum of three days, more if the crew decides to go shopping for more then one day. Only Stark and Noranti didn't go planetside, and 1812 figured they wouldn't be too much of a problem. After all if they did discover what 1812 and Blue are doing, no one would believe them. So with the crew mostly gone 1812 and Blue start going through John's DVD collection, after they finally figure out how to switch the DVDs, and discover some very helpful "making of..." documentaries contained on the discs.
And after spending most of the day doing research, they decide to ask Moya what she feels Pilot would like...
"Now that we have a much clearer idea what a movie is we should really consult Moya"
**Right. Moya we have to ask you something**
Yes
**We think we have a new idea for what we should do for Pilot's birthday**
It's not another cake is it?
**No. We are going to do a movie**
A movie?
**Yes one of those Earth recordings that acts like a story**
You mean those image transmissions I picked up while orbiting Earth?
**Yeah**
What do you plan to do a movie about?
**That's what we don't know yet**
"We wanted to ask you if you had an idea"
**Yeah, what do you think Pilot would like a story about?**
I'm not sure
"Did he find any of the Earth transmissions interesting?"
He did find a like a few if I remember correctly. I believe they were called the History Channel, and the Discovery Channel
**What were they about?**
I think they told stories about creatures on Earth and events that have happened in Earth's history. I'd have to say I also found them fascinating, but I can't say they helped me understand humans any better
"So we should do a history movie then"
**Or a creature story, by the way what were these creature movies about?"
They talked about the life of that creature and about it's life cycle
"I think a history one would be better"
**Why, we could do one about creatures**
"Like what creatures"
**I don't know. We could do one about the crew**
"If we did and they found out I'd hate to imagine how many pieces we'd be in, especially if Ka D'Argo gets at us first"
**You're right. I've heard stories from the others about run-ins with him. I know a few that have the repair jobs to prove it**
You could always do a movie about DRDs.
**That's a good idea! We could do something about us**
"We could also make it a history movie as well, by using past experiences as a basis and then we could go from there"
**We'd also have to make it tell a story**
"We can worry about that later. Right now we need to find some actors."
**Moya can we borrow some other DRDs to make this movie without Pilot noticing?**
Sure. I'll make Pilot think they are being maintenanced
"Great! We should also ask the others about their past experiences so we can use them in our story"
**Right. Thanks Moya you were a big help**
You're welcome. I'll be waiting to see how this movie turns out
1812 and Blue head off to find a cast and to make some interviews with fellow DRDs...
To Be Continued...
