JUDGE
I’m sorry. I don’t believe you.
FREIGHT
Well, it would be nice.
JUDGE
I’m sorry. I don’t believe you.
FRIEGHT
I demand a lawyer.
JUDGE
Demand denied.
FREIGHT
Your laws are totally different
than ours. How am I supposed to
defend myself? My crew?
JUDGE
Unlike your laws, ours are simple
enough that anyone can understand
them.
FREIGHT
Well can I have like....a chance to
read them?
A door opens up. A very large man in armor comes in and
sets a large book of laws about the side of a hardback novel
onto the table. All three jump backwards in shock.
FREIGHT
What the hell?! Can I get a stay to
read it.
JUDGE
No.
FREIGHT
Well can I read it now?
JUDGE
Yes.
Freight nods and proceeds to read the law.
KENDRA
Really? We can’t take time to read
the new laws?

FREIGHT (QUIETLY)
fuck.
ACT 1 SCENE 2
SCENE INTERIOR – NIGHT – CONFEDERATION COURT
The scene is rather stark. A single white marblish bench
lies in the center of the room with a light shining down
upon it. The court, and the judge is shown in shadow off to
the side so that their identity can be properly
concealed. There are no papers of any kind on the
bench. Just the three defendants, all dressed in stark
white robes which glare in the reflection of the light that
shines down upon them.
JUDGE
We find you guilty. How do you
plead?
KENDRA
Real cool. Guilty until proven
innocent?
JUDGE
The weight in your case is
overwhelming.
FREIGHT
Look, this was all just a big
misunderstanding.
JUDGE
Oh?
FREIGHT
That’s right.
JUDGE
I think this unlikely, but you are
permitted a defense.
FREIGHT
Well, basically that cargo was
placed on our ship by someone else
against our knowledge.
JUDGE
So someone else just put it there?
FREIGHT
That’s right.

AARON
I’m on it!
Aaron runs to the back.
SCENE INT – HALL – DAY
Aaron runs through the corridors of the Margaret.
SCENE INT – CARGO BAY – DAY
Aaron runs into a chamber with a lot of doors and pulls open
a door. He takes a container of fuel and pours it on the
silvery packets and lights them.
SCENE EXT – SPACE – NIGHT
The Margaret slows down. A large Confed warship pulls up
behind them and unleashes grappling cables.
SCENE INT – BRIDGE OF THE MARGARET
FREIGHT
Kendra, is there anything we can do
to ditch these guys?
KENDRA
I’ll see what I can do but....
SCENE INT – CARGO BAY – DAY
Welding lights appear on the wall of the Margret’s Cargo
hold.
AARON
Uh. Guys. I think we’re breached.
SCENE INT – BRIDGE – DAY
FREIGHT
FUCK!
Freight slides down in the captain’s chair and puts his
hands on his head, trying to think.

KENDRA
I dunno. I hear they’re awfully
fast.
AARON
I hear they’re inhumanly fast.
FREIGHT
Didn’t they just fight a while big
war about that? Look, they’re
human. Humans are humans. AI’s
are human. Genemods are
human. Now THAT kind of talk will
get you in trouble. Just chill OK?
KENDRA
Something on the sensors.
Freight appears slightly nervous.
FREIGHT
What is it?
KENDRA
Can’t tell.
AARON
FUCK!
FREIGHT
What is it?
AARON
It’s a warship!
FREIGHT
They found us?!
KENDRA
They found us.
FREIGHT
Dump the cargo.
KENDRA
No time. They’re too close.
Freight stands up and moves back and forth nervously.
FREIGHT
Burn it. Burn the worst stuff. We
can’t get it all but we can avoid
the death sentence.

Letters to Rhombus
So from time to time I get some fan mail. It's interesting and fun stuff. I'm glad to be able to work on it, because it gives me a chance to connect with people. We have a facebook page and you can hear the email to contact us with on the podcast. To keep things interesting, I won't disclose which reality which is from.
Q: Dear Rhombus, what podcasts do you listen to?
Good question. In my reality I listen to Mixamax, Got Dirt? And the Ernest P Blingameyer Mint Chandalier Variety Hour and Salon of Doom show.
In your reality, Reckless Peril with Berny Clarke is fun, when it broadcasts Naked City Atlanta and Write Club Atlanta...I also liken to Welcome to Nightvale, This American Life and Serial. Those guys on How Stuff Works are a blast.
Q: What do you like to read?
Well, obviously anything by TC, Emmit Other, or Redwin Tursor. Or myself :D
But I also like Fiona Skye and Jack Babylon. Jim Butcher, Terry Patchet, Niel Gaimon, Roger Zelzazny and I even like Martin but let me tell you as a fictional character that guy terrifies me. Neil Stephson is pretty amazing too.
Q: If you could visit anywhere you wanted, where would you go?
Places in both realities that I'd love to visit includes France, London, Japan, Egypt (if it were safe), Peru and Argentina. Some fictional places include Psuedo Texas, Metropolis, The Library of Alexandria preserved, Amber, and maybe Diagonally. Bravos might be fun for TC but I'd be too afraid of being killed.
Q: What do you plan to write?
Well, I think I have an idea about some of the fairy tales in Miami that might be interesting, and then beyond that TC story idea list is pretty impressive, so I'll be looking at the best of those but of course with my own twist.
Q: If you could have any super power, what would it be?
TC's answer was more conventional; Wish Granting or Teleportation. Me? I'd choose super kindness. The world needs so much more of it. I'm not sure how it would work, but I'm flexible.
