Notes: "1812" **Blue** Moya
------------------------------------------------------------------------
After the accident the pervious day, 1812 and Blue have become worried that
their main character will refuse to be their main character. That feeling has
been reinforced since V-W was supposed to meet them and the film crew almost a
half an arn ago and has yet to show up. They were hoping to get through the
fake firefight today, but with no actor it is starting to look unlikely.
**We could always start without him**
[Fixer] "Yes let's do something, I'm getting bored"
[Sparks] "I haven't even seen V-W today, he's probably not going to
show up"
[Blitz] "I bet he's still mad over the bat dren incident"
"We still need him, we don't know how much longer the crew will be
staying on the commerce planet and we need to finish this shot before they
return"
[Sparks] "Hey Fixer why don't you go try to find him"
[Fixer] "Why me?"
[Sparks] "Because you were not involved in the setting up of the
net or the script, so he might be less likely to impose harm on you"
[Fixer] "Might being the operative word there. Plus I don't think
saying please would convince him to continue filming"
**We need to do something**
"I guess we could always try to film the firefight tomorrow and hope
V-W will decide to cooperate"
There may be a problem with that
**Moya, how are you**
I'm fine, but I've been listening to your discussion and I also believe
V-W will not do any filming today
[Blitz] "Was that the problem you wanted to mention, cuz we've
already stated that?"
No, that is not what I wished to inform you about. I was going to tell
you that the crew will be returning tomorrow
"Oh great. That's just great. Now what are we going to do?"
**We might have to cut the scene out**
[Sparks] "But I thought you said this scene was important to the
story, plus I get some more lines. You just can't cut it out"
[Blitz] "I'll take the place of V-W, I'll play DRD 007"
"If you were the same model as V-W then I would say alright in an
instant, but you're not the same model."
[Blitz] "So"
"So Pilot would notice the difference."
**But we need to do something, and if V-W will not film today then we need a
replacement for the shot**
Would it help if I sent you a DRD of the same model as V-W to take his
place?
"I guess that would be fine Moya"
**Yeah thanks Moya**
I'll send one right away
Several microts later the DRD arrives...
[DRD B-MW] "Moya said you needed my help"
"Yes, we need you to act as a replacement for the main character in our
movie"
[B-MW] "Why me?"
**Simple, you look like the DRD who plays the main character**
[B-MW] "Why isn't he playing the part then?"
"We don't know where he is, we think he's avoiding us over the accident
with the pool of bat dren yesterday during the recording of a event in our
movie."
[B-MW] "Is that how DRD V-W fell in the bat dren? I heard about
what happened and I was wondering how a DRD would be stupid enough to fall off
the edge of the walkway. Why did you guys send him into the bat dren
anyway?"
"It was part of the script"
**And he wasn't supposed to actually 'fall' into the bat dren**
[B-MW] "No wonder he's hiding from you guys, I would if I were
him."
**Please tell me that you will play his part today?**
[B-MW] "Sure, as long as I don't have to fall into bat dren or
anything like that."
**Don't worry, no stunts like that for today**
[B-MW] "So what am I supposed to do?"
"You're supposed to pretend that you are being shot at by Peace
Keepers"
[B-MW] "Why?"
**Because we are filming the part of our movie where the DRDs retake the
ship from Peace Keeper control**
[B-MW] "Oh...Why?"
"Because it is in the script"
[B-MW] "Why is it in the script?"
"It doesn't matter why it's in the script! What matters, is that you
correctly follow the script and do what Blue or myself tell you too. OK"
[B-MW] "Ok"
The DRDs get everything set up for the firefight in one of Moya's maintenance
bays. They set up fake explosions and targets for the DRDs to aim at. They also
added some black paint to Fixer, Blitz, Sparks, and B-MW to give the appearance
of pulse fire burns. They also went over the script a few times to make sure
everyone knew what they are supposed to do and once everything was ready to go,
they prepared to start filming the scene.
"Ok everybody, we went over your lines and you know what you have to
do."
[Blitz] "I still have one question. If we are supposed to be fighting
Peace Keepers, who's playing the Peace Keepers?"
"Well at the moment the Peace Keepers are those targets, but when we
start editing we're going to use some of Moya's surveillance recordings to make
it look like you are really fighting the Peace Keepers."
[Blitz] "Cool, how you're going to do that?"
"We don't have the time to go into the details right now Blitz"
[Blitz] "Fine, but I do plan on see how you're going to make it
look like we're attacking Peace Keepers"
**Can we get started?**
"Right. Ok, Cam you're going to stay over here and Kip you're going to
go over to the other side of our battle area and record from there."
[Kip] "Ok, and wait for the action right?"
"Right, Now you guys get into your places"
The DRD actors get in position...
"Now when I say ACTION you're going to do exactly what we practiced,
ready?"
[DRDs] "Ready"
"Blue get ready to set off the charges like we planned"
**K**
"Alright...Get ready...ACTION!"
Cam and Kip start filming, Blue Sets off a couple of charges...
-Poof- -Poof-
The DRD actors fire at their targets...
-Zap- -Zap- -Zap-
Blue sets off more charges...
-Poof- -Poof- -Poof- -Poof-
The DRDs fire back and advance...
-Zap- -Zap- -Zap-
-Zap- -Zap- -Zap-
More charges...
-Poof- -Poof-
And the DRDs continue to advance and fire at their targets...
-Zap- -Zap- -Zap-
One more charge...
-Poof-
The imaginary Peace Keeper ship leaves...
The DRDs rejoice...
[B-MW as DRD 007] "We beat them!"
[Blitz as DRD Tri8] "I knew we would!"
[Sparks as DRD 314] "Our Leviathan is free from their control once
again!"
"And Cut! That was great!"
[B-MW] "Did I play the role right?"
"You played it excellently"
[Blitz] "Now what are we supposed to do?"
**I think we could get a few more scenes in today**
"Then let's get some more scenes in"
The DRD film crew spends the rest of the day filming and managed to get a lot
done. When they finally give it a rest for the day 1812 thanks BMW for taking
the place of V-W as DRD 007 and that he'd like it he helped them tomorrow, even
if V-W decides to join the film crew again. They could use all the help they
can get to finish the movie in time for Pilot's birthday.
