The Formation of Hope
Episode V
The trade routs of the alliance of
planets, known as the Uuah, was
ravaged from continuous attacks
by the Lambda Zone. An unfriendly
lizardlike race. Raids by the The
Modata military was far too small
to stop the Lambda Zone. So the
Tarkasians who were the greatest
ship builders, with the Mondatians
established the Corsair. An
independant warrior institute.
Beholding to no outside
government. founded to protect the
trade routs from raiders.
EXT - PLANET BUKAROO -
NIGHT - ESTABLISHING
In Tarkasian space a small planet of
rugged terrain of Bukaroo is broken
by a single clearing of flat land. The
home of the Fantar family where young
Zed (about twenty years old) stands on
the edge of their property. His young
attractive stepsister Meg, sits in the edge
of the skiff ( a small loffroad land
vehicle). A Spacecraft stands on the
hillside not very far away. It's a bulky
garbage truck-like ship called a Beast.
Zed: Why are you wearing that? It's
your sacred day clothes. ( something
like sunday cloths).
Meg: I have my reasons, what's
yours?
Zed: I signed up to join the Tarkasian
defence force.
Meg: You did'nt!
she straightens his suit collar and
smiles.
Zed: Yes, and I saw your name on the
list just above mine.
Meg: I signed up early this morning
while you were out in the upper
mountains, did you get one?
Zed: No, they were too fast this time.
You know what Mother and Father
would say!
Meg: Yes, thats why we had better
start the beast's engines before they
wake up.
Zed: Then it's settled, we go!
Meg and Zed board the craft. Zed's
ship climbs into space, and blasts into
hyperspace.
ENT - BEAST INTERIOR- DAY -
Zed sits in the pilot's seat, while Meg
faces the computer consol.
Meg: You know the Lambda Zone are
everywhere, we are likely to cross
paths with one or two before we get to
Tarkasia!
Zed: I know.
The rust colored craft flys away.
EXT - PLANET TARKASIA- PARLAMENT -
DAY - ESTABLISHING
A city comes into view and we look
into the exotic parlament building. a group
of poloticians and a few Corsair congregate
ust outside in the courtyard.
Exmin: Senator Masfo
Gobly: The Lambda Zone problem will
destroy us if we don't do something now.
General Masfo: I see nothing that can be
done, radiation will pose a threat to any
relief force. The best we can do is set up
safe zones outside the Coort cloud.
Exmin: That's too far for most of them to
go for help!
General Masfo: Then that's too bad for
them.
Exmin: There has to be a better way!!
Gobly: There is, the tarkasian stellar
converter project. it's expensive, it
may bankrupt the government but it is
promising.
General Masfo: Go into debt to save
people that would murder you in your
sleep, You make me sick!!!
Exmin: How far along is this project?
General Masfo: Preparations are under
way, there is little doubt that there will
be any meaningful resistance in the
senate.
EXT - PLANET TARKASIA - DAY -
CORSAIR GATE - ESTABLISHING.
The Zed's Beast lands on a platform
outside the Corsair Gate, beside it sits
a row of other similar beasts, each
with slight differences in design.
As Meg and Zed step out of their
craft another couple step from
theirs at the same time.
Bolad: Welcome trainees, just put
your hands on the crystal then step
through the gate.
Zed: When does the training begin?
Bolad: Just put your hands on the
crystal then step through the gate.
Meg: I'm afraid those are the only
words he knows.
The two do as they were told and
are fallowed by the rest of the
cadets. Beyond the gate they are
met by an atractive but strong
looking female warrior.
Exmin: Greetings Corsair!
Meg: She must be new here too!
Zed: I take it you are our trainer?
Exmin: No, your training is
complete, I'm showing you where
you will be staying.

Corsair members Uba, Zed, Ziz,
Saint Exmin and her pet darpa
named Goui, and General Onic.
Ziz: The Starfleet will be
assembled in orbit by morning.
Urisken: Recently we have a better
look at the innerworkings of the
Lambda Zone mind.
Eie Zack: Yes, it is very dark, that
mind. I hope information is
accurate.
Urisken: Their worlds are without
much food. The Lambda Zone even
raid their own worlds, it's their
nature.
Eie Zack: It still has to stop!
Exmin: The Lambda zone females are
in hybernation, it is a good time to
attack.The hybernation will end soon.
Urisken: The males are at their
weakest during this time. The
hybernation started five years ago.
Exmin: That is currect, their natural
state of mind is to find food. This is
why they raid our trade routs more
frequently during that five year
hybernation.
Urisken: If they cant find food they
will instictively turn on their femals
and feed on them. Their species are
at risk.
Eie Zack: How sad.
Exmin: The Corsair is ready.
Eie Zack: I want the attack to begin
as soon as the fleet is ready, good
night!
Eie Zack leaves the meeting room.
ENT - PLANET TARKASIA - NIGHT -
CORSAIR BUNKROOM H2
It is dark, the door swings open,
small glossy boots are seen walking
in the darkened room. Zed's eyes
open slowly, half awake he sees the
small child smiling at him. She had
long jet black hair and was wearing
a tight black jumpsuit with a high
collar and knee high boots.
Zed: What do you want?
Goui: My master wants to see
you!
Zed: Master?
Goui: Saint Exmin.
Zed: Where are your arms?
Goui: Hurry, must not keep my
master waiting.
Zed fallows the little armless
creature into a library with a large
table. There Saint Exmin stands
next to a pulled chair.She was
wearing a robe. When she moved
it failed to hide the fact she was
wearing nothing more.
Goui: Here he is master!
Goui walks behind Zed and stands
by the door.
Zed: Saint Exmin, what are we
reading?
Exmin: Mister Zed, thank you for
coming. That will be all Goui, you
may go to our Chambers.
Goui: Nice to meet you mister Zed.
The small creature leaves the library.
Exmin: Have you ever met a darpa
tyke before?
Zed: I've never seen them like that
before. Usually they come in a small
container as processed meat. I didn't
know they were sentient.
Exmin: But they are good eating.
Zed: I'm afraid I won't be opening a
container of darpa again.
Exmin: They are not sentient, at least
nintyseven percent of them.
Zed: You mean shes a mutant darpa?
Exmin: In a way, shes my pet, my
companion. A friend.
Zed: She makes an impression.
Exmin: You were raised in a
monistary on a Lambda zone planet!
Zed: Yes, my father was an
ambassador years ago we moved to...
Exmin: I know everything about you,
I've recieved orders from General
Masfo, we are going to attack the
Lambda Zone homeworlds. I will be
leading the first wave, I want you to
pilot my ship.
Zed: Where will you be?
Exmin: I will be in the second seat
commanding the fleet.
Zed: Why me?
Exmin: In your mind probe, we
found you are a natural warrior.
Let's just say I admire that side
of you. And your exposure to
Lambdazone culture made our
war planning easier.
Zed: Alright, is there anything
in my mind your machine
didn't read?
Exmin: Nothing special, It was
light reading. You may go back
to sleep, If you can.
Zed: I'll try.
The darpa child enters.
Goui: Master may I....
Exmin: No, go back to our chambers.
The Zed leaves the library and
Goui fallows him.
FADE OUT
EXT SPACE - ORBIT OF
LAMBDA ZONE HOMEWORLD
The homeworlds orbit is void of
spacecraft movement. Rows of
massive converted war barges are
seen as far as the eye could see. The
only movement is a small shuttle
dashing towards the biggest ship in
the crowd. Disembarking is the
great leader Arkmore. Arkmore
wears a purple majestic robe.
ENT - LAMBDA ZONE CAPITAL
SHIP
Arkmore: What news do you have?
Master Fer: The Tarkasian attack is
imminent we must attack first.
Kaymen: The Tarkasians have formed
a new warrior group, the Corsair, they
will destroy us if we wait master.
Arkmore: I fail to see the Tarkasian
motivation, their ambassador expressed
no indication of this offensive nature.
Master Fer: He was very agreeable.
Arkmore: He was delicious!
Kaymen: We did the respectful thing,
sending his ship home on auto pilot,
with his skeleton seated in the pilots
seat. The Tarkasians were
mysteriously offended.
Master Fer: That was a clear sign of
respect and they took it as an act of
war. Perhaps we should have placed
the bones in the lavatory!
Master Fer: I'm not certain about the
Tarkasians sensibilities. But I think
they were not happy we ate him.
Kaymen: That's interesting.
Master Fer: Novel idea!
Arkmore: Ambassidors tend to be
delicious, I hope they send another!

SAINT EXMIN'S CHAMBERS -
ESTABLISHING
The lights are low, Saint Exmin's
eyes fill Zed's gaze. Zed clasping her
breasts, pulls her closer. They make
love with all their might. Sweat drips
from all over their bodies.
They roll from one mating position to
another, continuousely, her legs
wrapped tightly around him, her
stomach clenched at the highlight
of her orgasms. Exmin cried out as
Zed enters her again from behind,
deeply as she ovulated. He grabbed
her breasts, his hands barely covered
them her legs caressed his sides and
back as if to encourage intensity. The
vigorous copulation grows as she leans
back repositioning herself. She feals his
fingers slide below her stomach as they
make love more passionately.
Zed: Is this all Valkyrie do, mate?"
Saint Exmin settled on top of him. She
licks his lips, and inside his mouth,
finishing with a kiss. She rests her
head on his shoulder.
Exmin: Mostly,.. we fight half as
often and as well as we have sex.
Zed: No wonder your enemies never
win.
Exmin: what enemies?
Exmin crawls off Zed, moveing to
another accessive position on her
knees, her sexy sweaty veloptious
body harshly ravaged by hours of
continuous sex. Sweat drips from
all over her lush body. Zed mounts
her again grasping her tightly
encouraging her to continue with
his hands clasping her breasts She
ingests him savagely without any
sign of slowing down. Zed and
Saint Exmin's performance
intensifies, they began to converge
between heavy breathing, to moans
and other sighs of pleasure. Then
turns over to begin another round
of copulating, later as two sweating
bodies lie close together, motionless
as they finaly rest.
EXT - SPACE - BEYOND THE
TARKASIAN OUTPOST - DAY -
Zed: Our attack only reduced the
Lambda Zone's means to make
war, but their raids will still go on.
Exmin: Yes, but they will be far less
and alot fewer.
Zed: The Lambda Zone will suffer,
many will die.
Exmin: Yes, It cant be helped, they
will not accept assistance.
Zed: There is another problem, the
Malmori are going to die as well.
Exmin: The Tarkasian scientists are
working on that. They are developing
a device to protect them from the
polsar.
Zed: I hope it works.
Zed notices sadness in Exmins eyes
Zed: What is it?
Exmin: I'm leaving the Corsair.
ENT - PLANET TARKASIA - DAY -
CORSAIR HEADQUARTERS
The chamber is filled with Corsair
masters. Standing in a circle a fire
sparks in the background.
Ziz: Saint Exmin has gone.
Uba: I have just recieved word the
Malmori have destroyed the E.P.
Plisker and Space station Horchkid!
Urisken: The Plisker is a hospital ship!!
Ziz: It won't stop there, they are angry
at all the known worlds for not helping
them during the radiation storm.
Uba: No one could help without being
exposed.
Urisken: When your people are dyeing
you cant see it that way.
Uba: I know.
Urisken: Then it is going to be war.
Uba: What's wrong?
Ziz: Saint Exmin has gone to her
homeworld. She has cultural
obligations there!
BATTLE BEYOND THE STARS
Storms On The Horizon
Episode VI
Violence had been the norm in the Mondata
sector. Mondata was the crossroads of over
a million worlds it was the trading centre for
all the known worlds. Every race every
creature was seen there and was largely
welcome. Tolerance was fading for the
Malmori, who were mutating horribly. The
Mondata military were sent to the Malmori
world Somonia to render aid and were
ambushed by a malmori militia. as a result no
Malmori would receive any assistance for
several generations, the Malmori race was
doomed. Then there was the Lambda zone
problem. Raids by the Lambda Zone ships
were getting far too costly in lives. The
Modata military was far too small to stop
the Lambda Zone. So the Tarkasians who
were the greatest ship builders, with the
Mondatians established the Corsair. An
independant warrior institute. Beholding to
no outside government. Founded to protect
the trade routs from raiders. This worked
very well, then other tasks fell to the
Corsair. In the worlds of the Malmori
desperation springs an aggressive uprising.
Sador with the aid of a few mining tribes
raided several Takasian space stations.
killing everyone men, women and children.
EXT- SPACE

Meg:(voice) Zed are you alright?
Zed:(voice) No meg, they broke
my favorite gag mug. wait, I'll get
back to you!
Zed's ship climbs and banks then Zed
blasts the front space barge in two. the
other space barge retreats.
Meg:(voice) Those Lambda zone
pirates, when are they going to learn?
Zed:(voice) If you ask me, I think
they just did!
The two identical ships make a sharp
turn and fly off.
Zed:(voice) I thought by now the
Lambda zone would realize that raiding
trade routs is not acceptable these days.
Meg:(voice) You mean it was?
Zed:(voice) They had been doing it for
centuries, no one got hurt untill lately.
They would damage your ship, board
and take what they wanted leave
you adrift.
Meg:(voice) That's still crule. Zed, I
heard Saint Exmin is back!
INT: CORSAIR 7
Zed: Yes she arrived this morning
as we were getting ready for our
shift. Didn't say much.
INT: CORSAIR 3
Meg: She has been gone a long time,
you were just a kid when she left the
corsair. Now your old and gray.

table. He takes a seat across from him.
Sador: I'm Sador!
Black Mow: I know who you are. What can I
do for you Sador?
Sador: What can you tell me about Krigea?
Black Mow: She's the best assassin there ever
was, but you did'nt hear it from me. At age
seven she destroyed a Tarkasian hospital ship,
after some Tarkasian doctors failed to save her
family. She gets free meals and a room in any
malmori town ever since. She killed more
Tarkasians in those two minuts that anyone
have in a thousand years. She has her own
shuttle, She gets around!
Sador: I've heard that, thought it was a tall tale.
Where will I find her?
Black Mow: Croswit Tavern, planet
Selma II. If she's not there, she will
be eventually, something about the
place must make her feal safe. She
is pleasant company, only if she has
killed someone recently.
Sador: I get around too!!

name?
Sador: Yes, he said to tell Krigea
Scoon sent you!
Krigea: If he said all that then you
must be very important, who are
you!
Sador: My name is Sador.
Krigea: Sador!? I would kill the
gods for Sador if they were alive.
Sador: They are long dead, and
so will our enemies. But you can
kill our old friend on Mondata.
Krigea: Is that all?
Sador: Who is that sitting next
to you, sleeping in his dinner?
Krigea: I don't know, I killed
him before I could ask him his
name.
Sador: Why did you kill him?
Krigea: He had horible table
manners!
Sador: Your my kind of girl,
there my be one more thing
you can do for me.

notices and adjusts her cape to reveal
more.

Senator Hachi: They will be
here shortly I'm sure, are you
still going to Tarkasia?
Senator Gobly: Yes, I'll be
there founding ceremony of
their branch of the Corsair.
Senator Hachi: Why do they
need a branch of the Corsair,
every world in the union has
one, isn't that enough?
Senator Gobly:Every member
world gets one, it's part of the
agreement, you know that!
Senator Hachi:And what of the
Malmori? do they get a branch?
Senator Gobly:The Malmori
are no longer members! You
grew up here on Mondata
right? It's hard to think of you
as a Malmori!
Senator Hachi: I represent the
Malmori, am I not a member of
this Senate?
Senator Gobly: No, haven't you
been told?
Senator Hachi: I just got here,
what?
Senator Gobly: Seven rotations
ago, the assembly voted to end
Malmori membership, your
worlds are no longer in the union.
Senator Hachi: No, that's a mistake!
Senator Gobly: Eight rotations ago,
Malmori Pirates raided Entry
three, killed almost every one.
Senator Hachi:When did Entry
three, become a member world?
Senator Gobly:They were not,
or the Corsair would have made
short work of the scum! Centry
three as you well know is in
rout to Tarkasia. And Tarkasia
is a new member!
Senator Hachi:Why is that, is it
because of their wealth?
Senator Gobly:A planets wealth
does not make them a member.
What's the matter, you look
worried!?
Senator Hachi: Nothing, I have
to go!
Senator Gobly: Is it anything about
your current worth to the Malmori,
are you now afraid of your
constituence?
Senator Hachi: No, no I have to go!
Senator Hachi stumbles falling to his
knees. Then he begins to choke and
gasp. then he falls dead. Only a few
feet from Senator Gobly. Senator
Gobly stands beside him and
addresses the deceased.

racing across deep space. Aboard a
delegation to Tarkasia. A Corsair
General stands beside the senator
(Senator Gobly)of Oomatil who is
seated at a consol.
Senator Gobly: As I suspected
the device is'nt finished.
General Masfo:The Stellar
Converter?
Senator Gobly: For want of a
better description, the Stellar
converter is a failure, it will
never work.
The Senator mutters under his
breath almost difficult to be
heard.
The Tarkasians are famous for
their ship building but when it
comes to energy devices their
ideas are ill conceived. An
effort to save the Malmori.
The Senator steps away from
the computer consol so he could
pace before the window. The
general uses the opportunity to
get a closer look to the display.
General Masfo: You realize, this
device could be used as a weapon.
Senator Gobly: Only to destroy a
world, or fleet, if you could get
them to line up into a nice row.
Who would want to do that?
General Masfo: A mad man!
Senator Gobly: Oh yes a madman,
is there any other?.
General Masfo: It would de atomize
a planet enabling a collector to
gather choice matter.
Senator Gobly: In theory, but the
test show the choice matter cannot
be collected in the required quantity,
this means one would have to convert
thousands of worlds, to gather
enough material to save the Malmori.
Is it worth it?
General Masfo: Maybe If It would
prevent a war!
Senator Gobly: You don't sound like
a general, general!
General Masfo:That's because I'm an
old general. The Malmori are
motivated by the desire to survive. that
can be vary dangerous.
Senator Gobly: They are all dieing
general, there is nothing we can do
for them! We are not going to let them
on our world. Are you going to let
them on yours?
General Masfo: No of course not,
I just wish there were some other

Ziz: It's an honor to meet you

Senator Gobly: Didn't I just

Exmin: No sir I've been on this
planet for five rotations!
Eie Zack: The Valkyrie are all
identified with that name.
Senator Gobly: It must be very
confusing at family reunions.
Exmin: We drop the name on
our home worlds.
Onic: An honor Senator.
Eie Zack: I've made sure the

The supreme commander leads
Senator Gobly into a meeting
room just off a massive rotunda.
Senator Gobly: That wasn't a
child it was a "Darpa Tyke."
Eie Zack: Yes, a sentient darpa
tyke. That's very rare, one out
of every seven thousand. That
child has the wisdom of a sage.
I use to own a darpa years ago,
bought her from another
valkyrie named Saint Exmin.
Senator Gobly: You see nothing
wrong with that?
Eie Zack: Your not here to
discuss the slave trade, are you?
At that moment Gereral Masfo
enters.
General Masfo: Excuse me,your
highness. I've just recieved word,
the Malmori have over run the
Lambda zone!
Eie Zack:That's impossible, the
Malmori are a disorganized
bunch of pirates.
Senator Gobly: Mondata is at the
doorstep of the Labda zone.
General Masfo: There seems to be
a massive number of ships heading
this way! It looks like a two pronged
attack sir.
Senator Gobly: Your highness, it
appears they have found leadership.
ENT - ROTUNDA
Urisken: The Tarkasian Knights
are already in rout to intercept
the armada but they will be vastly
out numbered. the Tarkasian
starfleet will back them up, but
that may not be enough. the
Malmori will be on this planet in
at least three rotations sir.
Senator Gobly: Isn't that a rather
defeatist attitude? Shouldn't the
Tarkasian starfleet be powerful
enough to stop the Malmori?
Eie Zack: No, the entire fleet is
not available. Urisken, do I need
to tell you what you need to do?
Urisken: In this matter your orders
are required!
Eie Zack: Then Stop the Malmori,
there I said it!!
General Masfo: It is not going to
be safe here senator, I recomend
you leave!
Urisken: We will evacuate all the
delegates to Oomatil,there they
will be safe!
Exmin: We will hold the line at the
first moon as long as possible, you
will be able to escape undetected.
Supreme commander Urisken and
prime minister Eie Zack return to
the meeting room as Senator Gobly
is escorted out a side door by Masfo.
when they were certain they were
alone they began to whisper.
Senator Gobly: Did you get it?
General Masfo: It's in the forward
bay of the hammerhead sir. I
couldn't get close to it.
Just at that moment laser blasts
and explosions are heard from the
meeting room. Senator Gobly and
General Masfo run into the
meeting room to find the Supreme
Commander Urisken and prime
minister Eie Zack were dead.
General Zed and General Exmin
persue the assassin.
General Masfo: Senator let's go!
We must destroy the Stellar
Converter before it's too late!
The two run down a corridor.

A fleet of new Cosair beasts, almost
red rust in color with beautiful
curves, and arms holding up two
long laser guns over head suddenly
burst into the scene. From the bridge
of his Beast General Onic watches the
other Corsairs fight the Malmori gun
ships. the Panoramic view is filled
with a massive dogfight between sides.
ENT-CORSAIR BEAST
Onic: The Malmori are using
mining shuttles for gunships
and cargo haulers as super
carriers. Their strength is in
numbers.
Uba: Yes we noticed that, have
you any helpful information?
Onic: Not at this time.
Ziz: The Weaponry they are using
is the real problem. Someone gave
them advanced weapons.
Uba: Shooting them is easy enough,
only more keep coming!
Onic: We only have to hold the line
here!
EXT - PLATFORM - MORNING -

Meanwhile thousands of civilian
spacecrafts launch into space. Zed
returns from chasing the assassin.
Zed: Goui are you alright?
Goui: Where is my master?
Zed: She is still persuing the
assassin, She asked me to look
after you. Come on, I can look
after you better on my ship.
You don't mind If we help Saint
Exmin persue the assassin do you?
Goui: Of course not!

Zed: Good morning old girl!
Nell: What's the commotion all

Goui: Who's talking Sir Zed?
Nell: Who's the brat Zed?
Zed: Her name is Goui, and she's
Saint Exmin's pet.
Nell: Well please make sure she

Zed: Yes and I've got a little
passenger.
ENT -CORSAIR SIX-
Exmin: Goui, are you alright?
ENT -CORSAIR SEVEN
Goui: Yes, General Zed's ship talks!
Zed: The assassin seems to be getting
away, we should pull back and give
him a false sense of security. That
way we can track him.
ENT -CORSAIR SIX-
Exmin:That's what I was thinking!
ENT -CORSAIR SEVEN
Zed: Alright darpa child hang on
we are going to fly down to that
planet and set up a tracking station.
Goui: Are you kidding?

EXT -TARKASIAN WELCOMING
PLATFORM-NIGHT
The Battle winds down and the
malmori win taking Tarkasia.
A Large malmori Spacecraft
lands on Tarkasia, Sador is
preceded by a guard as he exits
the craft. Sador stands at the
end of the ships ramp, his face
is resolute and set, dead bodies
litter the platform. A young
malmori female greets him, it is
his personal assassin Krigea.
They begin walking together
towords the Hammerhead
gangway.
Sador: Look at them, were is
Eie Zack?
Krigea: Eie Zack is dead and
so is the Corsair leader. This
is only the beginning master,
soon it will be the entire united
planetary union at your feet!
Sador: You said the hammer-
head is ready!
Krigea: Everything is ready
master! the last of the Corsair
have scattered, Tarkasia is
defeated, only small pockets of
resistance outside the city
remain.
Sador: That's not a problem,
they will a be killed soon, if
the stories I've heard about
the stellar converter are true!
Krigea: Oh, they are!
ENT - HAMMERHEAD-
BRIDGE
Sador inspects the bridge.
Scoon: The Stellar Converter
is intact. This senator was found
with the general trying to get on
board.
Gobly: Sador!
Sador: Oomatil will be destroyed
in less than a rotation, thought you
should know!
General Masfo: Sador you will
pay for this!
Sador: Take them away.
Gobly and Masfo are taken to the
brig.
Sador: These Tarkasians are
still alive!
Krigea: As you see we've
killed everyone but the
technicians, it seems they
are needed to get this ship
moving. And to operate
the Stellar Converter.You
know I would'nt miss
anyone who needed to be
killed!
Sador: Your a wonderful
woman, Launch this ship
and be shure to kill
someone before joining
me, I'm retiring to my
chambers. So I want you
to be fully inspired.
Krigea: As you wish master,
I'm sure we can get by with
one less technician!!
Sador: Good, don't be long!
Sador strolls off the bridge.
Krigea waits until the door
closes behind him, she
spins around with a knife
and slashes the throat of
the technician standing
closest to her. The young
female tarkasian falls to
the floor dead.
Krigea: Launch the ship!!
Scoon:Yes sir!
Gimpo turns to his assistant
and repeats the order as Krigea
calmly walks out the same
door as Sador.
ENT - SADORS CHAMBERS-
Krigea enters Sadors
chambers. She slowly begins
to walk toward him.
Sador: You waste no time, I
expected you to take a few
moments to chose someone
to kill.
Krigea: Why waste time, rather
spend it with you!
Sador: No more talking!
Krigea: Yes, that's what I was
about to say!
Then...
WIPE TO:
ENT - SADORS CHAMBERS-
MORNING
The darkened room is struck
by a beam of light from the
sun, as the ship creeps from
behind the dark side of a moon.
Sador stands before the huge
window. Krigea lies in Sadors
bed.
Krigea:We should be halfway
to Oomatil by now master!
Sador: So what do you want?
Krigea: Nothing, I've got
what I want!
Sador: What's that?
Krigea: Revenge, You!
Sador: Nothing! Everything!
Krigea:It doesnt matter, soon
you will kill me!
Sador: How do you know that?
Krigea: Because I know you,
you are just like me, and I know
If I were you, I'd kill me!
Sador: Why would you kill you
if you were me?
Krigea: I'm too dangerous, I
enjoy killing, I neeed to kill
people the more the better.
Sador:Why have'nt I killed you
yet?
Krigea:Because you havent
decided you no longer need
an assassin. Being a warlord
has it's downsides!!
Sador: And that is?
Krigea: Your never sure you
don't need an assassin, and
I'm the best!!
Sador: That's right you are
the best!! I promiseto put off
killing you a while!
Krigea: I don't think we
should talk about this
anymore, we should go about
our routine and concentrate on
killing your enemies like weve
been doing for the past couple
of years now!
Sador: That's fine with me!
The two leave Sador's quarters
together.
ENT - HAMMERHEAD BRIDGE-
MORNING
Gimpo: It's the Corsair sir they
are comming to intercept us sir.
Sador: How many?
Krigea: Your master asked you
a question!!
Gimpo:It looks like all of them...
sir!
Sador turns to krigea.
Sador: What's wrong, you look grumpy!
Krigia: I havent killed anyone since
before we mated.
Sador: That's a long time for you!
The viewing screen is filled with
Cosair fighters closing in.
Sador:Launch our fighters,
ready forward gunners,Now!
Gimpo:Launch fighters, ready
foward gunners!
Krigea: Master, they must
know they can not stop this
ship, it must be a trick.
Sador: Those Corsair ships
can do alot of damage Krigea,
I've seen them.
Krigea: They are going to
lure us into a trap and
destroy the hammerhead
and your plans.
Sador: No, they are going
to lure you into a trap. Take
the command shuttle and
lead the fighters into the
Corsairs nest and destoy it!
I'll return to Tarkasia!
Krigea: Return to Tarkasia,
we just left there?!
Sador: I have been thinking
about those other
hammerheads, I want to
desroy them. I'm thinking
about the future and there
will be no more
hammerheads in it, other
than this one!
Krigea:Yes master!
EXT - PLANET CAMP SITE
The two Corsair craft sit side
by side on a plato.
Goui: The tracker shows that
the assassin went into the
Flotar system, there is several
inhabited planets there in a
few rotations we will know
which one he went to!
Zed: That tracker can do that?
Exmin: I used this tracking
system many times it works,
unless the assassin is aware
of the device.
Goui: We all should get some
rest, we will need to be ready
to confront the assassin well
rested.
WIPE TO:
Zed: Your people are sold as
food throughout this galaxy
and you feal nothing about it?
Goui: I'm also food, someday
my sentience will fade and my
master and a few guest will
devour me. There is nothing
wrong with that, it's the way
it has always been.
Zed: It seems a shame.
Goui: Would you pefer me to
exist as a dumb animal?
Zed: Your sentience shoud
never fade!
Goui: It will, until then I will
serve my master!
Zed: I fought along side your
master for a few years now,
and I know little or nothing
about her.
Goui: I've only been sentient
for a short time and I know
everything there is to know
about her, being a pet can
have it's advantages.
Zed: I'm sure it does!
Goui:Rainer!
Zed: What?
Goui:My masters real name
is Rainer!
Zed: Why are you telling me
that!
Goui: My master would tell
you, if she ever found a
reason to.
Zed: How do you know?
Goui: I know my master!
Zed: Are you hungery?
Goui: I cant eat solid food.
Zed: What, I see you have
teeth.
Goui:Yes, we just don't use
them, it's very complicated.
Zed: What?
Goui: Our digestive system
is very delocate.
Zed: Then Your master will
take care of you!
Goui: Yes, she will. Your
people enjoy solid food
don't you?
Zed: Yes, yes we do, don't
you enjoy your liquid food?
Goui: The synthetic fluid
is'nt as good as the real
stuff.
Zed: That's a common fact
across the galaxy, some of
this stuff is just discusting!
Goui:Ha ha!
Zed: Ha ha!
Goui: You fought with my
master,please tell me about
that.
Zed: Your master is the best
warrior I have ever fought
with, we fought the Lambda
Zone Wars and she almost
single handedly brought the
war to it's end. Almost, exept
I had a little to do with it!
Goui:What happened?
Zed: Your master in her small
starfire snuck into the Lambda
Zone capital ship and captured
the Empiror and escaped with
him to the landing bay. There
I waited in the starhopper.
Goui: she took him hostage!
Zed: No, she killed him as soon
as she was close enough to the
door, she knew that if we took
him in our escape, they would
chase us. But if she killed him
they would begin fighting
amongst themselves to
establish a new leader and
that could take a lifetime.
Goui:Then she ended the war.
Zed: Yes, only at that same
moment the lambda zone fleet
was beaten at the hands of the
rest of our Corair brothers.
Goui:And you flew the hopper!
Zed: Yes, I did!
Goui:Then... It would have
ended even if the empiror
had lived!?
Zed: Some people think so,
But I think the Emporior
would have kept it going a
long time.
Goui:Do the Lambda zone
live in peace?
Zed: They did until the
Malmori came.
EXT - PLANET CAMP SITE -
MORNING
Exmin:We got a lock on the
assassins location. Arogon City
on Fargas One, Zed, we also
received a message from the
Corsair.They are mounting an
attack on the hammerhead as
we speak. Tarkasia is under
Malmori control.
Zed: The assassin will have to
wait, we must help the Corsair!
Exmin: I'll fallow the assassin.
Zed: I don't think the identity
of the assassin is as important
as helping the Corsair!
Goui: Zed is right!
Exmin: I sure would like
to know Who it was. I think
your right, it would do no
good to know who the
assassin is if the corsair is
defeated.
WIPE TO:
ENT-COMMAND SHUTTLE-
A large command shuttle
drops from the hanger
deck and flys out of a
short dive fallowed by a
group of fighters and then
another group. Krigea
stands behind two pilots
holding their headrests
for support during the
shuttles sharp turns.
Scoon Krigea's
assistant navigates.
Krigea:There they are,
how long before we are
in range?
Right then a lazer blast
strikes the hul of the
command shuttle just
above the window sparks
fly around the cabin.
Scoon:I'd say we are in
range now!
Pilot: The controls are out,...
now they are back.
Krigea: Section one engage
the corsair!
Scoon: Section two reports
ready!
Krigea: Not yet!
Another blast hits the shuttle
not far from the same place.
Scoon: That's it. We are dead
in space!
Krigea: Well fix it!
FADE OUT
EXT - SPACE
Krigeas's command shuttle is surrounded
by small malmori gunships atempting to
protect the large shuttle. Each ship sports
major battle damage like mortal wounds
revealing bones and organs. Bursts of light
and fire fill space around them, the Corsair
Beasts sport battle damage as well, but they
are fewer in number, and their damage is
worse.
When it seemed all is lost two freash corsair
ships enter the fight it is General Zed and
Saint Exmin.
ENT - CORSAIR 6
Exmin: Thank you for saving
something for me!
ENT - CORSAIR 12
Leader 01: Is that you Saint
Exmin, of course it is! Not a
problem Corsair 6!
ENT - CORSAIR 7
Zed: The odds still don't look
good Corsair six, we better
assist in a retreat!
Goui:The Malmori have the
outpost we have nowhere to
land.
ENT - CORSAIR 6
Exmin: I'll take some of the
fight out of them, get those
damaged beasts out of there!
ENT - CORSAIR 7
Zed:The Hammerhead did't
come to the fight, it must be
back at Tarkasia!
Goui:Yes! we must take what
is left of the Corsair to Oomatil.
FADE OUT
ENT - COMMAND SHUTTLE
The battle ends the corsair
take heavy losses.
The Attack is successful, the
corsair is nearly wipped out
and on the run. The Malmori
have landed on the Corsair
base planet. The Command
shuttle lands in the midst of
several malmori troop ships.
Krigea storms out of the
shuttle, it is clear she is very
angry.
Krigea: What, where are they!!
Scoon: The generals are in the
command tent!
General Farmits: Master Krigea,
I just wanted to tell you personaly
how great an honor to-
Just then Krigea pulls out her
blaster, points it straight at
the general and blasts his
head into a million peices.
She turns to the other
general and blasts him away
as well. Three gards stand as
if nothing had happened,
Krigea looks at them for a
moment then leaves.
EXT - PLANET - CORSAIR OUTPOST
Exmin: The malmori stayed just
long enough to eliminate any
trace of potential this outpost
had at being useful in this war.
Zed: Saint Exmin they killed
everyone even children!
Exmin: Yes, that's what I meant.
Zed: This means their next target
is Oomatil, yet they went back
toward Tarkasia, why?
Goui: Sador wants to desrtoy the
other hammerheads, then he will
turn on Oomatil. We must attack
the hammerhead in the confines
of the drydocks.

SADOR'S CHAMBERS-
NIGHT
The large black doors slide
open to reveal a silhouette
of a young atractive woman.
She steps into a ray of light
which illuminates her more
pleasent features, then her
scared face breaks what
beauty there was.
Sador's back is turned
away as he gazes out the
window that nearly
reaches the high cealing.
Sador:That's disapointing
Krigea!
Krigea: Disapointing that
the station is destroyed,
your enemys dead, at least
the ones within reach...
The woman steps further
into the room leaving the
ray of light and becomes a
silhouette yet again. Her
gunbelt falls to the floor.
Sador:That's not what I
was thinking!
Krigea: You mean,their
souls will go on, well
that cant be helped.
Sador: That's not it. I'm
thinking about my men,
the three commanders
you killed without my
permission!
Krigea: They failed you,
they needed to be killed!
Sador: They did their jobs!!
Krigea: They disobeyed
my orders!!!
Sador: What orders?
Krigea: I distictly ordered
them to torture the
children and make their
parents watch them die.
Those men did it the other
way around!! at least they
killed them all, but that's
no excuse.
Sador: You are vicious,
that's why I keep you!
Krigea approaches Sador
and wraps her arms
around him.
Krigea: They had to die for
that. Failing you is
unacceptable!
Sador: You know what else
is unacceptable?!
Krigea: There is no danger
of that, master!
Sador's face cracks with
a slight smile.
ENT-HAMMERHEAD- BRIDGE-
MORNING
The doors of the bridge open
very quickly as Sador briskly
walks in.
Gimpo:Your looking relaxed sir,
how is Krigea treating you?
Sador: She is dead, have her
carcass jettisoned before we
go into battle!
EXT-SPACE
Saint Exmin from the bottom of the
Tarkasian battleship drops a single
Corsair Beast. It's Corsair six, Saint
Exmin's ship.
ENT-CORSAIR 6
Zed: When you blow the thing
remember the hammerhead will
be passing by a very dangerous
spacial rift, so watch out for it!
Exmin: I hear you Zed!
Saint Exmin flys her beast directly
into the Hammerhead's landing bay, it's
size slightly larger than the bay doors
cause massive damage to it'self and the
bay.
ENT- HAMMERHEAD-COORIDOR.
Saint Exmin enters the cooridor carfuly.
She is quickly surrounded and arested.
The gards lead her away. In the holding
cell she is placed with the two other
prisoners.
Saint Exmin waits until they are left
before she makes her move.
Exmin: Senator Masfo, relax I'm here to
rescue you!
Gobly: Yes, but you are captured as well!
General Masfo: I'm also aware of this!
Exmin: It's the best way to find out where
exactly you are being held, this is a big
ship.
General Masfo: Oh.
The gards leave them alone with their
hands binded above their heads, against
the wall of the cell.
ENT-HAMMERHEAD- BRIDGE-
EVENING
Gimpo: we have a new prisoner sir!
Sador: From the Corsair ship?
Gimpo: Yes sir, she's a Valkyrie!
Sador: In that case kill her!
Gimpo: Yes sir!
Gimpo turns to Scoon.
Gimpo: Scoon, kill the Valkyrie!!
Scoon: Yes sir!
Sador, seeing Exmin's image on the
monitor he grabs Gimpo's sholder.
Sador: No, wait. I want her parts!
ENT-HAMMERHEAD- BRIG
Exmin hangs next to General Masfo.
Her hands bound secure against the
cell wall.
Exmin: Now Zed!
Gobly: Who are you talking too?
Zed: (voice) Exmin, the hammerhead
is getting close to the rift.
Exmin: Zed, the rest of the corsair
are attacking!
Masfo: The Tankon Rift!! If we get
close to it, it will push this skip clear
to Tarkasia in micro gips, If we go
into the rift we will never be seen
again!
Exmin:Some have made it back!
Masfo: Name one!
The Saint Exmin's gold shoulder gards
eject components that fall to the floor
and asemble into tiny insect like
creatures. The devices crawl onto the
prisoners and remove their bindings.
The prisoners rush toward the exit.
Exmin: Stand clear of the door!
The small robots take places on the door
and explode. the door is thrown across the
room by the explosion.
Exmin: General run to bay three, I'll watch
your back!
Saint Exmin is the first to see the malmori
troops aproach them. She bigins firing and
then the general assists her. Saint Exmin
holds them off as the General and the
Senator aproach the beast.
The General and senator reach the Corsair
beast. It blasts away in reverse, clearing
the landing bay doors.
Saint Exmin stands alone, fighting the
Malmori.
FADE OUT
The Corsair leave,The Hammer head turns to
Tarkasia.
ENT- HAMMERHEAD-LABORATORY.
A Saint Exmin awakens, her eyes scan the
room. Held arms and leggs apart by
machine apertures extended from
mechanical arms.
Sador: You put up quite a fight Saint Exmin,
comfortable? I 've heard on your worlds the
natives are most comfortable this way, sans
atire! Almost no one ever retuns alive from
one of your worlds!
Exmin: You heard correct, however it is cold
in here, release me and fight like a man!
The doctor steps up to Saint Exmin and injects
something into her neck, she quickly falls
asleep.
Sador: She is a fighter, is her parts
compatable doctor?
Doctor: Yest but her blood is what is most
interesting, it seems to have antibodies that
is resistant to infections. That explains
why the Valkyrie live for over a thousand
years. They can only die in battle, the brutal
coming of age ceremonies must account
for their population control.
Sador: thats all very interesting, Doctor I'm
here to get a new leg, is hers going to be mine
or not!
Doctor: No, I sugest storing her for her
antibodies, we'll get your new leg from one
of your crew as before.
Sador: I've never kept an enemy alive before.
Her body is apealing, Doctor are you skilled at
brainwashing?
At that moment a beep breaks the silence.
Sador: What is it Gimpo?

General Masfo. He knocks out one malmori
gard then holds a gun on the other.
Glook: who are you,what are you doing

General Masfo: This!
The general overides the bridge control,
guiding the hammerhead into the void.
The hammerhead vanishes along with

Goui: I've became property of an other
Valkyrie warrior!
Zed: Named saint Exmin I'd bet.
Goui: She will be landing any minute.
Just that moment a shuttle begins to land.
Zed: That's a Valkyrie shuttle!
Goui: My new owner is in that shuttle.
Zed: If you want I can buy you?
Goui:That won't be necessary, I'll be
losing sentiance very soon. You had
been a good friend.
Zed: That must be your new owner,
she looks just like Saint Exmin.
Goui:They all do! Goodbye!
Zed: Goui, go well!
The small creature leaves Zed standing alone.
The tyke takes position next to her new owner
and they both walk away toward the Valkyrie
shuttle.
