Mini episode 1

Rick is gliding in an Alien space ship. The ship is tear-drop shaped and the space craft and is metallic in color and is 2.mi off the surface of mars, and is in a stable orbit.

He is inside the space craft only and only one coffee sized table with a map of the surface of Mars with a glowing red spot. He touches the blinking red spot, suddenly the space craft breaks orbit and is zooming towed the surface of Mars at 10,000 miles per minute he looks up to an electric display board and in an electric blue numbers display the number of miles to go..100..89..72..65..52..40..29..10..15..0

The spacecraft halts to a dead stop. Then an air lock with a yellow bottle that says "oxygen" pops out and then a complete spacesuit pops out with a blue book that says "manual of operation" he spends an hour reading it. When he finishes it he walks over to a seemingly empty corner and feels around then lightly pushes down, then a small panel opens with a small computer screen.

Two objects with a remote and a flashlight. He points the remote toward the big main display screen that still has "0" on it from the mile countdown. Then he presses a button on the remote and flips to the map of mars with the blinking red dot and then a green triangle which represents the ship he is in. The red dot is the "site". at the bottom of the screen in electric blue letters and numbers says "estimated miles to site: 40" he sighs, he looks back down to the small computer he flips it on then the screen shows two windows, one a radar and the other one a picture clock of mars that shows the night and day side of the planet.

He sees the red dot and the green triangle in the night side. At the bottom of the picture clock in neon red letters and numbers it says "hours to sun rise: 24hr and 30mins" on the wall he finds a three illuminated toggle switches under them it reads, "view port, put everything away on the top then it says on the bottom it says "get every thing out he flips the second one up, the air lock and space suit disappear. The third switch says "off" at the bottom then it says "outside lights". He mumbles to himself, "good thing I have packed a sleeping bag and stuff". First he sets an alarm for 0900 hours, then he looks at his watch its only 5:11Mars time he pulls up a camping stool and he flips the switch that says "view port. He looks out at the pitch-dark landscape then hits "outside lights" the light penetrates only a few feet then stops.

He looks up at the sky and sees a sea filled with twinkling stars and sees a few planets, suddenly the radar pings. He rushes over there knocking over his stool he looks at the radar screen and sees one blip then he flips the "view port" switch and the "outside lights" switch he picks up his remote and flips to the command screen and switches the "cloaking" then flips back to the mars map screen. Then he gets into his sleeping bag reading his "manual of operation" and drifts off to sleep he dreams that his is sitting at his desk at the Hurricane Center and is tracking a category 6 storm heading right for him. He wakes up covered in sweat, and then uses the ship's head (bathroom) then heads over to his small computer looks over the radar screen, nothing there, then looks at the clock and sees that the blinking dot is in the day and the green triangle, it is close to the border of night and day then he looks a the hours and minutes at the bottom and sees "2hrs and 34mins to sunrise" then he gets his "manual of operation" he looks at the table of contents and sees "Food pg 23" he flips there and sees that the food making devise is near his stool. He walks across flipping the switch that says "everything out" then the air lock comes out with the spacesuit and gets some food, packs a lunch gets in his suit and then goes into the seconded room .

Two lights above the first door are green and red. Red means that the door is not sealed and the green means that it is ready so he goes outside looks at the hull of the ship and he sees a little device and he picks it up then the little holder melds back into the ship. The device has a little USB port and a small screen with the map with a green triangle the ship, a small yellow dot Rick, and the red dot.

After 2 hours he pushes a green triangle on the devise to see how many miles are left 1m he sees a huge structure ahead, he comes up to it, a huge radio dish half buried in the ground with a huge semi-circle around it he runs up to the semi-circle closest to him. He dusts of a small screen with a fell multicolored buttons and a USB port. Then he pugs his devise into the port, and activates it.

Then downloads some information and then a little green button appears on his devise screen, he pushes it and his ship flies to him. He puts the device back steps into the air lock when the door seals he hears hissing noise the oxygen bottle putting air in the middle of the lock he steeps in side and there is nothing there but the coffee table with a big blue, green dot blinking he pushes it and suddenly he is back in his parking garage at his house with a door that he didn't see before he goes in there and sees his tear-drop shaped metallic colored spaceship. After he looks at the ship, he wakes up in his own bed and thinks it is a dream, but sees that he is holding the flashlight form the ship.
