Exosquad: Titan A.E./Transcripts

Prologue/The Drej Attack
Professor Sam (narrating): Once in a great while, mankind unlocks a secret so profound... that our future is altered forever. Fire. Electricity. Splitting the atom. At the dawn of the 22nd century, we unlocked another. It had the potential to change humanity's role in the universe. We called it the Titan project, and it was a testament... to the limitless power of the human imagination. Perhaps that is what the Drej feared most, for it brought them down upon us without warning... and without mercy. Cale, that day, the day the Drej descended from the sky to our world Gaia, the Counter-Earth, the only thing that mattered was keeping you safe.

(Cale starts his invention.)

Young Cale: Perfect! (chuckles) (earth rumbles) (The invention floats in the river and gets damaged due to a rock.) Hey, stop! Come on!

Sam: Cale, are you all right?

Young Cale: I'm okay. Dad, my invention broke.

Sam: Well, then, we'll fix it together, but not today, Cale. We have to go now.

(Everybody of Gaia flee to the ships.)

Young Cale: Dad, where's everybody going?

Sam: We're leaving too. We all have to go somewhere safe.

Tek: Professor Tucker! The Drej have reached the global defense system!

Sam: Come on, son. Will we get the people away in time?

Korso: Not if we sit here talking, sir.

Young Cale: I wanna drive.

Korse: When you're older, kid.

Young Cale: I'm older than four.

Korso: Hang on!

Young Cale: Whoa!

Airport Announcer: Please proceed to your designated

Sam: Is the Titan prepped?

Korso: Just waiting for you, sir! Intelligence says the Drej don't know the Titan's location, or we would've been hit already.

Sam: Let's pray they're right!

(The Drej stringers fly toward Gaia, the Counter-Earth.)

Man: Enemy warships have entered our solar system.

Young Cale: Are we going in that? Wow!

Sam: Cale, I have to go n a different ship. I have to go away for a while.

Young Cale: No, Dad! No!

Sam: Tek is going to look after you.

Young Cale: But I wanna go with you!

Korso: Sir!

Sam: I know. It's not safe where I'm going.

Korso: Sir! Professor!

Sam: I'm coming! Cale, here. Take this. (he gives a ring to Cale) As long as you wear it, there's hope. I will see you again. I promise.

Young Cale: Okay.

Tek: Cale, it's time. Cale

Young Cale: No, it's not okay! It's not okay!

Sam: Tek, keep him safe!

Young Cale: Daddy!

Sam: Korso, go!

Young Cale: Come back!

(Sam and Korso fly to the barn.)

Man: Evacuate! Evacuate!

Korso: Godspeed, Sam Tucker!

Sam: This is Tucker. Bring me down.

Woman: Attention, pilots. Drej stingers are attacking the escape vehicles.

(The Drej stringers attack the escape vehicles.)

Man 1: Okay. Are we all here?

Man 2: Bobby, buckle up.

Tek: Now, Sam. Now!

Young Cale: Go, Dad! Go!

Tek: Get out of there. Get out of there!

(The door opens. The Titan moves to the door. The Drej stringers are retreating to the Drej Mothership.)

Drej Queen: (speaks in Drej language) Destroy the humans. Destroy them all.

(As the Drej Mothership prepares to fire its weapons, the Titan fires its thrusters. The Drej Mothership fires an energy beam at it, causing the planet to spin faster and faster, until centrifugal force overpowers gravity, thus causing Gaea to fly apart at the seams. The Titan launches into Hyperspace.)

15 Years Later/End of the Neosapien War
J.T.: (narrating) I am J.T. Marsh. It has been two years since the Neosapien War ended with the Pirate Clans. My arch-enemy, Phaeton, was defeated and shot, along with his generals, Shiva, Draconis and Typhonus. Since then, Exofleet were rebuilt.

Second Drej War
(Marsh flies into the orbit, where he sees the Drej stringers fly toward Earth.)

J.T.: Drej! They're striking back on us.

(The Drej stringers fly toward Venus and attack its cities. At the same time, the Drej stringers fly toward Mars.)

J.T.'s New Mission
(Professor Algernon's lab)

Algernon: I never seen that spaceship with power before. The Titan Project. It was a testament to the limitless power of the human imagination.

J.T.: That is what the Drej feared. Humans will become the dominant species in the galaxy. Professor, that's why the Drej destroyed Counter-Earth Gaia 15 years ago.

Algernon: The Titan is the most powerful spaceship in the universe. It can re-ignite a dead stars and terraform a planet or moon. Professor Sam Tucker is the lead researcher for Project Titan.

J.T.: If Sam had a ring, you know where it is?

Algernon: Professor Sam hid the Titan from the Neosapiens and the Drej. That ring contains a map to the ship. Sam gave a ring to his son Cale Tucker.

J.T.: So Cale had a ring.

(Aboard the Cossack )

Wolf: I can't wait to see Cale.

Takagi: Right, old man.

J.T.: Let's frame-up!

(Able Squad frame-up)

Nara: I like to see Cale, the son of Sam Tucker.

(The Cossack decloaks long enough to open its hangar doors, allowing Able Squad to exit. Once they left, the Pirate ship's hangar doors close, and the pirate ship cloaks.)

(Cale, full-grown man, works in a salvage yard in the Tau 14 asteroid belt)

Marsh Meets Cale
(Able Squad arrive.)

Kaz: Sir, your orders?

J.T.: Kaz, you go outside.

Kaz: Aw, J.T.!

J.T.: If you spot the Drej coming, call me.

Kaz: Yes sir, Commander.

(Kaz's fighter lifts off. Able Squad exit their e-frame.)

Cale trains his E-Frame
J.T.: Ok we've walked through this drill enough, so you know it by heart. Any questions? OK then, let's try it for real.

Korso: Well, what are you waiting for? You want to be e-frame pilot, Cale? Then frame up!

(J.T., Cale, Korso and Akima run to the E-frames, and the cyberjacks connect.)

J.T.: All right, we'll start with something simple. Let's move into standard attack formation.

(They lift off, perhaps ten feet off the ground.)

Cale: Easy, now.

On A Trade Ship
(Cale and Akima are in holding cell in the Drej stringer)

They're gonna use you to figure out|where the Titan is.

Probably just blow it up,|too, when they find it.

- Yeah, well, who's to say|it would've worked, anyway?|- Who's to say it won't?

Maybe Korso will get|to the Titan first.

Why do you care so much|about that thing?

I was raised|around people.

" Drifter Colony bums,"|I believe, is the term.

I barely remember Counter-Earth, but the older ones used to tell us about it...

so it would never be completely lost.

No matter how hard things got- and they were hard-

those memories kept us going.

Once, we had a home.

The Titan is our chance to find one again.

I guess that's how I ended up here.

What are they afraid of? So what did the human race ever do to the Drej?

- It's not what we did. They're afraid|of what we might become.

Cale: Hmm. Yeah, well, looks like we're becoming extinct.

(Degamma)

J.T.: Stay with them.

(The Degamma follows the Drej stringer to the nebula.)

Nara: There it is, J.T. The Drej mothership!

J.T.: Degamma to Arnhem. We found it. I repeat, we found the Drej mothership.
