(5 Panels)
Panel 1: Exterior panel in the upper atmosphere over
the UNITED STATES. Taking up the majority of the panel is SPACESHIP ONE, which
looks kind of like the WHITE HOUSE if it were a spaceship instead of a
building.
An explosion has erupted
from one end, though it’s not a powerful enough explosion to cripple the ship.
SFX: Kra-BOOM!
Panel 2: Interior panel, the bridge of SPACESHIP ONE
– it’s effectively a cross between the oval office and the bridge of the
starship ENTERPRISE (one or more of them – the best features of each,
probably).
This panel focuses on
FRANKLIN ROOSEVELT (FDR), who is sitting at an information computer terminal.
He’s dressed in suit and has his head looking over his shoulder as he shouts to
GEORGE WASHINGTON, who is off panel.
FDR: GENERAL WASHINGTON, we’ve been ambushed by CommuNazi
Terrorists!
Panel 3: Panel shows the central portion of the
bridge. GEORGE WASHINGTON, the captain of SPACESHIP ONE and the leader of
everyone here, is seated in the captains chair – and the chair should most
obviously be a captains chair that non-verbally communicates “this is where the
captain sits” by the way it’s designed. ABRAHAM LINCOLN sits in a chair nearby
in the XO’s chair. WASHINGTON is dressed in a Revolutionary era generals
uniform but with somewhat modernized look to it, while LINCOLN is in a basic
but appropriate suit and wearing a stovepipe hat.
In the background we
can see DWIGHT D. EISNEHOWER standing at a control station for the ships
security officer. He’s wearing a WWII era generals uniform.
EISENHOWER: CommuNazi Terrorists?
EISENHOWER (2): The worst kind of scum!
Panel 4: WASHINGTON has stood up from his chair as he
gives orders. The way he’s standing and the angle of the panel should make him
look as heroic, leader like, and presidential as possible.
WASHINGTON: We cannot let this stand!
WASHINGTON (2): Alert all teams!
WASHINGTON (3): And ROOSEVELT…
Panel 5: Close up on WASHINGTON’s face as he looks at
FDR and gives one more order. The intention is the make this panel look as
dramatic as possible and give the words as much weight as possible, signifying
that what he’s saying means something big.
WASHINGTON: Tell TRUMAN to throw TEDDY ROOSEVELT at them!
