Colonel Bleep and the Uncharted Earth/Transcript

Part One: The Spaceman's Origins
'''EXT. FUTROPOLIS - MORNING'''

As the sun peeks through the tall buildings of Futropolis, we are introduced to COL. BLEEP in his younger years, who is hurrying himself to the Futura High Command Headquarters.

COL. BLEEP (V.O.)

''I’m sure I can read what your mind is saying. A young space cadet from another planet in a galaxy kind of nearby. A planet that’s much older and technologically more advanced than yours, especially when it comes to space technology. With this mind, we’ve practically started our own space age 700 years ago.''

VARIOUS SCENES - THE HISTORY OF THE FUTURA HIGH COMMAND

The scene transitions to an earlier state of the Futura High Command.

COL. BLEEP (V.O.)

This is Futura and its newly found space force, the Futura High Command: an interplanetary intelligence agency where its intelligent species known as the futurians, dedicate their lives to protect and investigate disturbances from our homeworld to distant worlds in outer space.

The scene features past futurians building space vehicles and eventually exploring celestial objects.

COL. BLEEP (V.O.)

''In our humble beginnings, we began sending space probes and space rangers on Futura’s moons to better understand the universe. It would help us be well prepared to interfere with other planets.''

The scene later changes to depicting futuirian spacecraft traversing through other celestial objects.

COL. BLEEP (V.O.)

After 210 years of development, we managed to develop the gear, transportation, and equipment needed to explore other planets in our star system, the Nova System and then the rest of our home galaxy, which we call Galaxy 9.

Another scene transitions to rockets and other spacecraft being guided by space traffic guides.

COL. BLEEP (V.O.)

Soon after another 210 years, space travel became the norm of travel itself as futurians and other intelligent species managed to use powerful rockets, cruisers, space stations, and traffic guides for travelers to safely maneuver across Galaxy 9.

Another scene features FHC soldiers battling against powerful opponents from other planets.

COL. BLEEP (V.O.)

''However, just because our space age has lasted longer than yours, doesn’t mean that its timeline was always sailing smoothly, especially when it came to cosmic wars. For we have battled planets where danger lurked around as its helpless denizens called for our help. And these perilous battles required us and other allies to have courage, strategy, strength, and stealth.''

Another scene features the FHC headquarters, which pans away to Futura’s stratosphere from high above.

COL. BLEEP (V.O.)

''As the Futura High Command has continued to gain more knowledge in space, they eventually interfered with the Milky Way Galaxy and its Solar System, which planets had also developed their own advanced space technology. Every planet except, Earth, which Futura has never interfered with. At least not after 254 years. When I enrolled at the Futura High Command Academy, everything would change.''

'''INT. FUTURA HIGH COMMAND ACADEMY, DAY'''

We return to the scene with a youthful CADET BLEEP, an eighteen-year-old student who is determined to play an honorable role for himself and his comrades.

CADET BLEEP

''Cadet’s Log, day 1. Today is the day I move into the Futura High Command Academy. While I demand to excel in every course for the up and coming five years, things will start smoothly with the yearly orientation check-in.''

As CADET BLEEP gets through a crowd of other cadets, he sees another student named CADET FIRE, walking the opposite direction of everyone else. Concerned, CADET BLEEP follows the student to get his attention.

CADET BLEEP

''Um, excuse me? Are you lost?''

CADET FIRE

Who are you?

CADET BLEEP

''Lucius Bleep. Freshman Cadet.''

CADET FIRE

''Etoile Fire. Also, a freshman Cadet. Forgive me for my inappropriate attitude. I was just trying to make my own tour across this place.''

CADET BLEEP

''You wouldn’t want to get lost alone. I’ve toured this place for every vacation break, so I could show you around like a good friend would.''

CADET FIRE

Um, thank you, but I don’t accompany strangers much with strangers.

CADET BLEEP

''We barely met. Besides, the reception hall is this way. We could just get to know each other on the way. Come on. Just trust me.''

CADET FIRE

Fine then.

'''INT. RECEPTION HALL - DAY'''

Meanwhile in the reception hall, BLEEP and FIRE’S relationship starts quite smoothly.

CADET FIRE

Hang on a second, you're saying you were a child prodigy?

CADET BLEEP

''Yep, I excelled in grad school when I was sixteen. Not to brag around or anything.''

CADET FIRE

''Oh really. I barely graduated with a masters at my current age of 18. Quite common for us indeed.''

CADET BLEEP

So, you were a prodigy as well?

CADET FIRE

''Yep, guessing we’re one of the only ones, unlike everyone else who graduated at the average age. Besides, you told me about how you toured this campus during the school breaks?''

CADET BLEEP

''I’ve done it with and without a group of other future cadets. Though funny, I can memorize each building quickly including the Bolt Needle where they depict the statues of the three mythical time gods.''

CADET FIRE

Maybe if you show me, I may know how to go my own special ways.

CADET BLEEP

I don’t know, the tower may be heavily guarded for this day.

CADET FIRE

''Don’t be stupid, everyone’s too distracted with all the craze going on with the ceremony. Let’s just go. That secret tour we’re making up could be a moment never forgotten. Heh, heh, heh.''

CADET BLEEP

''Okay. I’ll do it, but just for a small time.''

CADET FIRE

''Excellent, my friend. That surprise you’re giving should be to die for.''

'''INT. NEEDLE BOLT - EVENING'''

The two cadets head to the highest tower of the academy, the Bolt Needle. They take the elevator as their transport and encounter the topmost and most exquisite floor in the building. The room is decorated with elaborate stained-glass windows, and three majestic statues.

CADET BLEEP

''Here we are, the place you’ve been “dying” to see, aka the greatest floor in the tower. There’s the statue of Pastel, the deity of fire and the past, Presento, the god of the present and ice, and Futura, the goddess of the future and lightning. You know, ancient legends say that they use their time powers to bring connection across the cosmos, but scientists believe that time is unpredictable going in many directions.''

CADET FIRE

''Unpredictable they say these days? Such a clever statement. I can see why our knowledge on time advanced from making up some so-called powerful idols. Like how events occur on unexpected occasions, especially death…and that I will love every last minute of it.''

CADET FIRE’S face changes from angelic to demonic. He violently punches down CADET BLEEP, much to the victim's surprise.

“CADET FIRE”

''You know, I had originally planned to get to this place myself, but it was nice of you to take me to the Bolt Needle. Now why don’t you sleep with a bullet in your head while I take these precious statues.''

CADET BLEEP

''Wait a minute. You’re not a real student if I’m correct. You’re not really named Etoile Fire, are you?''

“CADET FIRE”

''Ha! That’s something you could name for your toilet…''

Just as the “cadet” unveils a pistol, CADET BLEEP quickly jolts to stop him before “CADET FIRE” was about to shoot him down. The bullet misses the emergency alarm causing the red lights to flash in the tower building. “CADET FIRE” tries to shoot CADET BLEEP again, the honest student blocks him in a fist fight. Just as CADET BLEEP though he could do some successful justice. “CADET FIRE” isn’t completely done with him.

CADET BLEEP

''You won't get away with this, imposter. Now tell me who you are.''

“CADET FIRE”

''Oh, that was only a warmup, idiot. And I’ll love to see you try and stop me.''

“CADET FIRE” strips off his uniform to reveal a black bodysuit with a pack of eight robotic arms, resembling an octopus’ arms. CADET BLEEP begins to tremble even more.

CADET BLEEP

You’re an assassin?

AGENT 85

''Enemies call me an assassin, but I was born and bred as an Octave named Agent 85. Now fear me before I feast on your blood.''

CADET BLEEP tries to defend AGENT 85 with his gun, but the agent’s tentacles are too fast for him. The space cadet escapes as fast as he could through the stairway, but the agent gets ahead with his tentacles. CADET BLEEP unintentionally enters the security floor. Security guards attempt to capture AGENT 85. CADET BLEEP borrows one of the futomic pistols from the weapons deck, believing he’s the only one to stop the enemy. While AGENT 85 easily defeats each of the security guards, CADET BLEEP enters the scene to finish the enemy once and for all. However, one of AGENT 85’s tentacle’s scrapes CADET BLEEP’S chest and arm. By sheer luck however, the cadet manages to activate the trigger and shoot two blasts towards the agent, breaking his goggles. AGENT 85 loses control of his weapons as he and CADET BLEEP are both knocked down at the floor. While CADET BLEEP is badly injured and unconscious, AGENT 85 escapes while covering his bleeding head.

'''INT. FHC MEDICAL WING - NIGHT'''

CADET BLEEP wakes up in a hospital room. He sees himself surrounded by tubes and elastic wrap bandages. A nurse and a doctor see him awake while the cadet begins to breathe.

CADET BLEEP

*Pants breathlessly*

NURSE

He’s awake!

DOCTOR

Are you alright?

CADET BLEEP

Where am I?

DOCTOR

''You nearly died in that accident in the bolt needle. Thank goodness you’re still alive.''

CADET BLEEP

Where’s the agent?

NURSE

You mean the assassin from this evening?

CADET BLEEP

''Agent 85, that was his name. He impersonated himself as a student named Etoile Fire. I led him to the tower by accident. That’s when he revealed his true colors. Where is he now?''

DOCTOR

''The guards tried to capture him, but he escaped. Knowing that his weapons got the best of us.''

NURSE

''At least we managed to treat you back in good health. Although we noticed some severe scars in your chest and arms. Our prescription is that you remain in the hospital for about one week while you complete your first studies.''

CADET BLEEP

''But I’ll miss my classes. I’m meant to study on campus, not in some hospital.''

DOCTOR

School doesn’t start till seven days, and the scars should heal quickly, and you’ll be in better condition by them.

CADET BLEEP

Fine, but only because it’s protocol.

One week later, CADET BLEEP is treated from his wounds and leaves the hospital in good health. Although he feels more skeptical in his first days in class while looking at the Bolt Needle under renovation. BLEEP changes his fear and decides to come clean from his past in hopes things will go well for the next five years.

COL. BLEEP (V.O)

''The first day I got here wasn't all so pretty, but I didn’t want it to ruin my future. After all, I was only a space cadet ready to reach my goal to the next level.''

VARIOUS SCENES - 5 YEARS IN THE ACADEMY

Hoping to erase this traumatizing memory, CADET BLEEP spends his time studying in his classes, practicing his piloting, fighting, space demonstrations, and survival skills.

Eventually the cadet reaches higher ranks to the point that he receives his first title as a Command Officer.

COL. BLEEP (V.O)

Five years had passed, and all the blood, brains, sweat, and tears helped me reach the first ranking as a command officer.

In a formal ceremony, CADET BLEEP earns his first epaulets and is ranked as 2ND LT. BLEEP.

COL. BLEEP (V.O.)

But I still had to come a long way now that I was an official Futura High Commander.

VARIOUS SCENES - 22 YEARS OF SERVICE

With a little more patience, 2ND LT. BLEEP learns to improve his fight skills. The years have passed, and our spaceman has reached the rank as 1ST LT. BLEEP, whose mind has already been hardened by learning the proper manners of a FHC agent. Further later 1ST LT. BLEEP has become ranked as CAPT. BLEEP who had grown contemplative among other planets. More time has passed now that BLEEP has already gained the wisdom of being a space commander. While ranked as MAJOR BLEEP, our spaceman has already been through escapades in investigating other planets. As LT. COL. BLEEP, he observes the numerous wonders and disturbances occurring out of space in one of the FHC observatories. However, there is one planet that BLEEP has got a focus on: Earth.

'''INT. MISSION CONTROL STATION - EVENING'''

One day in the mission control station, one of the members discovers a strange occurrence from the radar-scope screen.

MISSION CONTROL MEMBER #1

''Um, Captain Star. There’s an emergency I need to report.''

CAPT. STAR

What’s the emergency?

MISSION CONTROL MEMBER #1

Sir, I believe the radarscope observing Earth had just launched an artificial satellite out of its atmosphere.

The radarscope features a video of the world’s first nuclear bomb, much to CAPT. STAR’S surprise.

CAPT. STAR

This isn’t another nuclear bomb isn’t it.

MISSION CONTROL MEMBER #1

Obviously, it’s no explosion from a bomb that’s new to them but to us those kinds of bombs were made centuries ago.

CAPT. STAR

Well this space probe should intend to crash land on the Earth’s surface.

MISSION CONTROL MEMBER #1

Well don’t you think it’s that convincing for our kind to visit the planet’s inhabitants.

CAPT. STAR

''It’s just been recently that these earthlings have officially send their first space probe. Besides, it looks like a certain somebody must see this exciting discovery.''

MISSION CONTROL MEMBER #2

You don’t mean Colonel Lucius Bleep.

CAPT. STAR

''Everyone knows the newly ranked Colonel had been focused on Earth, so of course he must know. I expect him to be sent here to the mission control station. Understood?''

MISSION CONTROL #2

Yes sir.

CAPT. STAR (V.O.)

''Let’s all be clear that Colonel Bleep is a former child prodigy considering that he graduated high school at ten, college at fourteen, grad school at 16, and completed his FHC academy years at 23 like most other students. Only because students need to be at least eighteen to join the campus no matter how gifted they are. But keep in mind to remain in a calm state while the colonel takes observations.''

COL. BLEEP enters the scene, with a bold look on his face.

COL. BLEEP

Did someone call for an emergency?

CAPT. STAR

Colonel, we found another observation on the Earth planet.

COL. BLEEP

''Let me guess, another nuclear bomb that had happened twelve years ago while we observed thermonuclear bombs seven years later. What’s next, their first futomic bomb?''

CAPT. STAR

It’s no bomb, but a small and well-functional satellite.

COL. BLEEP

A satellite?

CAPT. STAR

''Of course. Two of our mission control members just found it recently.''

COL. BLEEP

Let me watch for a moment.

While COL. BLEEP observes the launch of Sputnik 1, ADM. ALBRIGHT enters the scene.

ADM. ALBRIGHT

''Captain Star, I heard there’s a special observation. Best we know more about this planet by sending the colonel on a mission to Earth.''

CAPT. STAR

Admiral Albright, are you sure he’s fit for the job?

ADM. ALBRIGHT

''He seems to have prepared for a lifetime, even when futurian interest had sprung up after twelve years. We’ll discuss it with him in my office immediately.''

Meanwhile, COL. BLEEP tries to reason with the lab workers.

COL. BLEEP

No seriously, there's a good reason we should interfere with these earthlings soon.

CAPT. STAR interrupts the conversation.

CAPT. STAR

''Colonel Bleep? Admiral Albright wishes to see you and I in a couple of minutes.''

'''INT. ADMIRAL ALBRIGHT’S OFFICE - DAY'''

At the beginning of the meeting, ADM. ALBRIGHT offers some important papers to COL. BLEEP.

COL. BLEEP

What’s the meaning of all this?

ADM. ALBRIGHT

For quite some time, we’ve heard about all your ambitions upon reaching the last unspotted planet in the Solar System: Earth.

COL. BLEEP is speechless and surprised that someone in a higher rank knows about his goal.

ADM. ALBRIGHT

''For decades, we all thought it was just a worthless globe orbiting its star even if it would be the only planet in its star system to be full of organic life. You however, believed it could be worth investigating.''

COL. BLEEP

Well I was the only one who believed it.

ADM. ALBRIGHT

''That is until the earthlings discovered nuclear explosions from twelve years back. But even then, none of us were as convinced until the bombs grew more frequent as they continued to soar above the stratosphere and back down to the surface. After twelve years since the first explosion, these inhabitants released their first space probe, whose name is yet to be discovered.''

COL. BLEEP

''Meaning they could make much more spacecraft? Exploring its own moon and the other planets? Maybe explore our star system?''

ADM. ALBRIGHT

''Maybe after several centuries. They’ve barely begun their space age after all. So, since you have been putting down your own research on Earth, we thought to make the decision of commissioning you to investigate Earth in top-secret.''

COL. BLEEP

''Wait? A top-secret mission…on Earth? This isn’t a dream, correct?''

ADM. ALBRIGHT

Would you rather be continuing your studies just in Futura because the only way to not learn more about Earth is not going there at all.

COL. BLEEP

That is true.

ADM. ALBRIGHT

''Look at all these life-supporting territories on Jupiter, Mars, and Venus to name a few. Sure, they have plenty of richly functioned space vehicles, space stations, and cities. Earth being an all-living planet never got to that chance until now. In fact, those beings could have been preparing for centuries to explore the stars like any other intelligent lifeform in the universe, including our own kind.''

COL. BLEEP

That is a true statement.

ADM. ALBRIGHT

''And you shouldn’t have to be so shy about it. So why feel timid about it now when you’re given this life-changing assignment?''

COL. BLEEP

I’m not shy, I’m surprised you’re giving me the mission.

ADM. ALBRIGHT

''Well I thought you’d be excited to read the contract and sign the dotted line. Until we announce the rocket launch, everything will be kept shut outside of the Futura High Command. Understood?''

COL. BLEEP

If this is my new destiny, so be it.

Determined to participate in this mission, COL. BLEEP signs the mission on the contract.

COL. BLEEP

''Since I was titled Colonel Bleep, I had to spend half a year preparing my up-and-coming mission. This involved the physical examination, combat training, survival training, inventing new gear, designing a new starship, and presenting my research.''

VARIOUS SCENES - PREPARING FOR EARTH

For six months COL. BLEEP takes a slow, but steady preparation for his mission to Earth. As mentioned earlier, BLEEP participates in the following scenarios: physical examination, combat training, survival training, inventing new gear, designing a new starship, and presenting his research regarding Earth. An admiral offers COL. BLEEP a new contract claiming that he is officially declared to explore Earth. As BLEEP signs the contract. The audience cheers for this new course of FHC history.

'''INT. COFFEE SHOP - NIGHT'''

Later that night, COL. BLEEP is watching a recording of Sputnik 1’s orbit.

COFFEE SHOP WAITER

''So, twenty-two years of service and you’ll be leaving for another planet. I suggest you not take any caffeinated drinks for this evening.''

COL. BLEEP

''It’s a slightly primitive planet, but they are already beginning their space age. Also I’ll have a decaf iced espresso please.''

COFFEE SHOP WAITER

Order up, your coffee will arrive in a moment.

While COL. BLEEP waits for his coffee, a strange bulky figure, known as DR. DESTRUCTO appears near his seat.

DR. DESTRUCTO

''Good evening, Colonel Bleep. I’ve heard people saying that you’re leaving Futura soon enough for a primitive planet. Now that’s just a pitiful excuse to leave the opulent Futura.''

COL. BLEEP

How’d you recognize me so easily?

DR. DESTRUCTO

''Colonel, everyone knows your name, except the earthlings of course. While many people refer to me as Dr. Destructo, I’ve been inspired by your crazy space antics since the days of your first missions. And by the aging but attractive looks of yourself, you are quite the idol for many.''

DR. DESTRUCTO grabs a poster with COL. BLEEP’S photograph of himself displayed for his upcoming Earth mission, along with a blade-shaped pen.

DR. DESTRUCTO

But just imagine, this may be the last time your foot stands on the grounds of Futura, and I’d love to enjoy every moment of it.

DR. DESTRUCTO throws the poster of BLEEP to the wall with the blade torn on the print of his forehead. COL. BLEEP grows suspicious at the guest.

COL. BLEEP

''Aww, you imagine me sleeping with a dagger on my brain…murderer. Stand by for a-''

Just as COL. BLEEP unveils his futomic powers, DR. DESTRUCTO dodges quickly. The bolt then breaks one of the windows.

COL. BLEEP

Okay, let’s just do this the hard way.

COL. BLEEP quickly attempts to fight the strange criminal, but DR. DESTRUCTO is too smooth and fast for the former. While DR. DESTRUCTO uses his deadly claws to attack the enemy. COL. BLEEP dodges in a panicky fashion. COL. BLEEP pounces towards the enemy one more time with his powers. DR. DESTRUCTO, however, slashes the colonel for a second time. Instead of having his chest scraped, BLEEP notices that the doctor is in a holographic form. However, as the colonel falls down to the ground, his heart starts to pound uncomfortably, his fingers shiver, and his breath goes out of hand. COL. BLEEP places his hand over his scraped chest with a sickened heartbeat. DR. DESTRUCTO continues to glare at the colonel with his devilish-red eyes.

DR. DESTRUCTO

Now doesn’t that seem familiar, spaceman?

COL. BLEEP refuses to answer.

DR. DESTRUCTO

Come one spit out yes or no!

COL. BLEEP escapes from the coffee shop before the doctor plans to attack him again.

DR. DESTRUCTO

*Growls quietly*

So much for a warmup.

DR. DESTRUCTO disappears leaving the parlor in a heap of a mess. The COFFEE SHOP WAITER returns unaware of the attack.

COFFEE SHOP WAITER

Here’s your decaf iced espresso sir…?

The COFFEE SHOP WAITER is speechless to see the parlor damaged with burning futomic bolt marks and a broken window.

'''EXT. FUTROPOLIS - NIGHT'''

COL. BLEEP prepares his rocket car and leaves for his apartment.

'''INT. COL. BLEEP’S APARTMENT - NIGHT'''

As he returns to his apartment, COL. BLEEP turns on every light in every room, including the TV. He then sets up traps in each room in case DR. DESTRUCTO ever sets foot in his home. In his bedroom, COL. BLEEP remembers that DR. DESTRUCTO was just a hologram, not a real figure that he could have attacked or had been attacked from.

COL. BLEEP

''That Destructo, guy, was a hologram. And holograms are optical illusions. Did I just “see” things? What kind of fool am I? No way I’m going to die soon. After all, my mission is tomorrow.''

COL. BLEEP decides to turn off most of the lights and put up his traps, thinking his predictions are correct. Though just for safety, he leaves two traps by the doors to the entryway and his bedroom.

'''EXT. BALCONY - NIGHT'''

Before he gets to sleep, COL. BLEEP stands as the balcony to gaze at the stars and gleaming lights of Futropolis.

END OF ACT ONE

Part Two: The Caveman Awakens
WIP

Part Three: The Little Puppet
'''EXT. ALAMOGORDO BOMBING RANGE - EVENING'''

It was July 16, 1945. Scientists were ready to test their first nuclear bomb, known as the Trinity. At 5:30 pm, the missile would create its infamous explosion.

'''INT. TOY FACTORY - EVENING'''

Not too far away, lies an abandoned toy factory that was affected by the explosion’s radioactive fallout. Of course, the scientists were not aware of what could happen in the factory. In one of the rooms a three-foot marionette, named SQUEAK, was brought to life from the nuclear radiation and woke up from his stagnance.

SQUEAK

*squeaks*

The puppet comes out of the shadows and into the sunset’s rays. They appear to have red hair, rosy cheeks, no mouth, a white cowboy hat, a light turquoise shirt, blue pants with torso straps, red bandanna, and brown shoes. SQUEAK climbs up to a table and peeks through the window to see the atomic explosion.

SQUEAK (V.O.)

''This was me when I came to life…and this was my home. Very massive I must add. Although I may be very much like any little kid, unlike everyone else, I’m a puppet. My name is Pipsqueak Pinto Pine, but you can call me Squeak.''

'''INT. TOY FACTORY - DAY'''

In his first few days in the factory, SQUEAK hobbles on his feet to explore the factory’s rooms and meets several other living toys.

SQUEAK (V.O.)

''As a puppet, I was already taking my first steps and understanding my surroundings. I may have known nothing about this world, but I wasn’t alone. That’s when I found several other toys like myself.''

As the curious one in the factory, SQUEAK spent his time reading books about characters having adventures in the outside world. The other toys insult him thinking that he’s just believing in childish fantasies.

'''INT. TOY FACTORY - NIGHT'''

SQUEAK (V.O.)

''As time passed on, I grew more curious about the world. I knew a small bit about the world from some leftover books, but I had a desire to learn more. Unfortunately, a lot of other toys didn’t believe in me. Except for Squeak Jr. He didn’t move or talk, but he never made fun of me, so I could just share my thoughts with him whenever I felt like it. Squeak Jr. was my only friend.''

'''EXT. ROOFTOP - NIGHT'''

One night, SQUEAK climbs up to the rooftop to see the stars and the moon.

SQUEAK (V.O.)

''Did you know that if you make a wish upon a star and it might come true? Well, the one wish I desired the most was to finally see the world and all its wonders, but that wish came true in the most unexpected situation.''

'''INT. TOY FACTORY - DAY'''

On a dark stormy day, SQUEAK played with SQUEAK JR. with the latter’s strings. Suddenly SQUEAK is shocked by a loud bolt of lightning.

SQUEAK (V.O.)

''One stormy day, a bolt of lightning knocked out the power in the factory. A great fire began to swarm around, so I had to make my escape.''

SQUEAK packed all his precious possessions in his backpack and tried to escape from the fire. He suddenly finds an open window and makes his way out. SQUEAK runs away as fast as he could.

'''EXT. DESERT - DAY'''

SQUEAK (V.O.)

''As soon as I escaped, my old home was destroyed. None of the toys believed that a fire could be this deadly. They all died, and I never dreamed of returning to this dreadful place again.''

SQUEAK wanders through the desert all alone until he finds a train that takes him to Los Angeles, California.

'''EXT. LOS ANGELES, CA - DAY'''

SQUEAK (V.O.)

''Then again, if it wasn’t for that fire, I wouldn’t have discovered the world’s leading inhabitants: humans: Real ones made of flesh, blood, and bone. And one of them hired me for a job in puppet shows hosted on what they called television, The Puppet Players.''

'''INT. TV STUDIO - NIGHT'''

On one occasion, SQUEAK sneaks on the stage during the performance of Pinocchio. He grows jealous because an inanimate puppet is the star, while SQUEAK only got to play CANDLEWICK.

SQUEAK (V.O.)

But because I had “little experience” in acting, they let all the lifeless puppets get the lead roles and I never got one.

One night, the filmmakers were broadcasting a live holiday show of the Nutcracker. SQUEAK, dressed as one of the nutcracker’s toy soldiers, attempted to pull a surprising prank.

SQUEAK (V.O.)

''As an actor, I thought I could be the top star of the show. When they were hosting the Nutcracker, I knew this could be my chance to shine…and boy I was wrong.''

SQUEAK destroys the mouse king puppet with a blunderbuss, much to the audience’s surprise. Later the theater manager was furious over SQUEAK’S prank and quickly kicked him out of the studio.

'''EXT. TOWN - DAY'''

SQUEAK (V.O.)

''Yep, you saw that clearly. I was fired, but it can’t get any worse, can it?''

SQUEAK tries to apply for other studios but gets kicked out repeatedly.

SQUEAK (V.O.)

''Obviously, it did! As soon as I gave up finding other jobs, there was one role I always had: being a lone adventurer.''

'''INT. CLOTHING STORE - NIGHT'''

Later, SQUEAK breaks into a clothing store to find the perfect outfit for an adventurer. He then discovers what would be his signature cowboy outfit: a classic brown western hat, a blue button-on shirt, brown leather vest, blue jeans, a brown belt, brown boots, and a golden star pin. He lastly puts on his old red bandana that he wore in his first four years of life.

'''EXT. PARK - MORNING'''

SQUEAK dunks his hair in a river, to change his hairstyle into a messy, unruly appearance. As soon as he puts his hat back on, an angered SQUEAK throws his wooden chest of stage costumes to a river.

SQUEAK (V.O.)

At last, I finally discovered my true identity.

'''EXT. FOREST - DAY'''

After gaining a new identity, SQUEAK began his real quest to explore the rest of the world. First, he rested on the back of a truck. On a bumpy road, the truck bounces unintentionally, which causes SQUEAK and his backpack to fly out to the empty road. SQUEAK runs into a nearby forest to see that a rainstorm is up ahead. The puppet hides inside an open tree trunk for shelter.

SQUEAK (V.O.)

''Just as I started my adventures, one thing that I knew I didn’t have was a home. Not until I found an abandoned boxcar in the woods.''

SQUEAK looks out of the tree trunk to find an abandoned boxcar. It was built out of wood planks and painted with red.

'''INT. BOXCAR - DAY'''

SQUEAK sneaks in the boxcar to find nothing but cobwebs, and a plentiful amount of space. Sometime later SQUEAK made the boxcar a home by including a few homey items he found at a junkyard and stole at a nearby town.

SQUEAK (V.O.)

''As soon as I got myself a new home, I had no idea what else I could do in life other than fixing left out junk and stealing anything that got my attention. Or so I thought…''

'''EXT. SQUEAK’S BOXCAR - DAY'''

One day, SQUEAK was watching TV while reading some comic books. He witnesses the launch of Sputnik 1, which would inspire him to become a space explorer.

SQUEAK (V.O.)

''On the day Sputnik 1 blasted off into the cosmos, I realized that space would be my next key to adventure. All I needed was a wonder rocket that would take me far beyond the stars.''

'''EXT. JUNKYARD - EVENING'''

Without hesitation, SQUEAK began building his dream rocket from gathering materials from the junkyard, operating its engine, testing the launch with stolen fireworks, attaching the metal surface on the rocket base, and learning how to drive it. Soon enough, SQUEAK knew that his Wondership X-57 was ready for a test flight, with his puppet doll, SQUEAK JR., as the passenger of honor.

'''EXT. FOREST - NIGHT'''

SQUEAK

Alright little buddy let’s take this queen to the sky.

With his space jacket and helmet in place, SQUEAK positions his ship to a cliff. The engine’s power increases as the rocket begins to move faster. SQUEAK activates the flight engine for the rocket to leap out of the clip. The power continues to increase once the rocket soars through the clouds.

'''EXT. SKY - NIGHT'''

SQUEAK

''Almost there. Just one more blow out and we’ll be able to orbit the moon and back.''

SQUEAK activates the thrust button. The end nozzle of the rocket suddenly bursts heavy flames. Just as SQUEAK thought he was getting further away from the atmosphere and closer to the moon, the engine suddenly stops. The rocket falls back to the atmosphere, leaving SQUEAK baffled.

SQUEAK

''Wait what? Oh no.''

The Earth’s gravity quickly pulls the Wondership X-57. SQUEAK kept grasp on the controls but was afraid of falling to his death.

'''EXT. FOREST - NIGHT'''

SQUEAK

Squeak Jr., hold on tight!

SQUEAK activates the plane thrusts and the brakes to hopefully land his ship on open ground, but the rocket is too fast to land smoothly. SQUEAK pulls the controls harder, just so the rocket doesn’t land too harshly. Soon enough the rocket gets closer to a lake that the puppet recognizes and splashes deep into the water. The rocket suddenly breaks apart. SQUEAK’S seat belt snaps out of place and releases the puppet out of the rocket, leaving him unconscious.
