Frank Noble looks a bit nervous about all of this conversation for some reason.

FRANK

Actually, speaking of 'inventions' I've got a new job since I lost my fellowship with Kensington.

FRED

Can you believe that?! You should sue. Are you SURE you don't remember who put you in there?

FRANK

Afraid not. At any rate, I've got an idea for a potential job as a special effects coordinator-

ISAAC AND ARTHUR

Cool!

KAROL

That sounds like an excellent idea.

FRANK

But I'm going to need a few things to show them what I can do. I was wondering if I could get your help with some of the simpler mechanisms.

FRED

I suppose. I don't know. Things are kind of busy at the hardware store. Still, I suppose I can.

Karol Noble hugs her husband and kisses him. The kids cheer.

FRANK

When do we get started?

[The 500] Getting it Right

We asked ourselves if we knew what we were doing but we knew we didn't.  I stared at the aged oak railing that had been worn away by wind and rain and looked out across the shields that told me I knew what I needed to know already.  A line of plastic shields and frowning faces snaked its way down the street and around the corner.

How many were there?  How many of them wanted to be here? And yet I knew that they were not ready for what was to come.  A peaceful protest (minus a few morons who decided burning a convenience store was the key to social change).  They kept staring at me.  They were staring at us.

For a supposedly free country, it sure didn't feel that way when I looked at the firehoses, the tear gas grenade launcher, the plastic truncheons and the tasers.  It was about control.  It was about the status quo.

But the world was turning.  And that thin plastic line wasn't enough to stop it.  They could murder one or two of us, but they couldn't change the truth.  The biggest wall to that was the wall of ignorance, maintained by those who wanted to live in a sanitized Andy Griffith world long passed.

And then someone began to sing a hymn.  It was catchy, and while I was terrible with the lyrics I could join in on the chorus.  The plastic line shifted nervously.  They didn't like this.  They didn't want this.  But they held firm.

Then we joined hands and began to march to the park.  That caused them to freak out.  We were 'attacking' them, so they opened up with the tear gas.  It felt like I had salt and vinegar poured down my throat.  A lot of others scattered, but I held still.

Then they leapt forward and began to beat me.  There in the shadows of twilight, my skin color didn't matter.  My social status didn't matter.  I was a threat to the status quo.  I was a threat to their order.  They didn't like it.

I heard someone moan as the defenders of 'justice' began to beat them.  They were being filmed, but they didn't care.  The Wall of Ignorance would protect them.  As I blacked out I wondered...will we ever have justice? Maybe.  But it will be earned one martyr at a time.

Precyber Chapter 46

Clarke finds out just how deep the rabbit hole goes.  A tragic loss.  Justice is served.

ISAAC

Badgers are COOL!

ARTHUR

Yeah! The Bright Badger is the best hero EVER.

Fred Noble bangs his hand on the table.

FRED

None of that! You know I don't like that kind of talk.

ISAAC

I don't see what is the big deal. You obviously have the tech gene.

FRED

For the last time. Just because someone shows a little technical aptitude does not mean that they have 'the tech gene'. And even those that are unfortunate enough to have it, do not all go putting on their underwear and parading around in public acting like fools.

ARTHUR

But Dad it would be so cool!

KAROL

Your father was tested. Your father and your uncle don't have the meta gene or the tech gene. They're just both very good men. Perfectly normal.

FRED

No. Everyone in this room is perfectly extraordinary.

KAROL

Of course dear.

INT. DINING ROOM - NIGHT

Frank and Fred Noble are seated at dinner with Fred's wife, KAROL NOBLE, and his two children ISAAC NOBLE and ARTHUR NOBLE. There is a period of awkward silence where no one talks.

ISAAC

So.

ARTHUR

So.

FRED

So what?

ARTHUR

So-so.

Everyone at the table laughs.

FRANK

Thanks for getting me out of there Fred.

FRED

Hey. You'd do the same thing.

ARTHUR

Are you crazy Uncle Frank?

FRED

ARTHUR!

ARTHUR

What? I just wanted to know.

FRANK

Yes, Arthur. I am crazy.

Fred rolls his eyes.

ARTHUR

Cool. Do you get to take medication?

FRANK

Er, No.

FRED

Your uncle does not need medication.

ISAAC

Actually dad, he has been acting kind of weird.

KAROL

Stop badgering your uncle.

Frank looks back at the wall he spoke to earlier and says.

FRANK

The plan is now working perfectly.

Frank turns to Fred, acting perfectly sane.

FRANK

Fred! Good to see you! These people locked me up, I have no idea why.

FRED

Frank resumes looking at the camera and babbling in an insane fashion.

INT. MONITOR ROOM NEAR CELL – DAY

Fred, Lawyer and Dr. Dobin come in and see Frank.

DR DOBIN

There, you see what I mean?

FRED

Well if you dope somebody up enough they're bound to act like this.

DR DOBIN

We're not giving him anything. He's acting like this entirely on his own.

FRED

You're not giving him anything at all? And yet you're claiming to try and cure him? What crap is this?

DR DOBIN

Well I er

FRED

That's what I thought. I want into to see him. Now.

ATTENDANT

I think you want to see them sir. Yes.

The attendant puts down the phone and looks at Fred and Lawyer.

ATTENDANT

Dr. Dobin will be out to see you shortly.

Dr. Dobin comes out about ten seconds later from the office on the other side of the hall.

DR DOBIN

Mr. Noble, so glad to see you. Perhaps there has indeed been some misunderstanding. You see Mr. Noble checked himself into our clinic.

FRED

Really? That sounds like crap to me.

DR DOBIN

He specifically requested that no one be informed that we admitted him. He is demonstrating...well, extreme catatonic manic depressiveness.

LAWYER

Those terms are contradictory.

DR DOBIN

Are they? Well, here, come-you'll see for yourself. He just sits in the corner and babbles to himself all day.

Dr. Dobin, Fred and Lawyer walk down the hall.

INT. PADDED CELL - DAY

Frank Noble has a straight jacket on and is babbling to himself. He looks up at a camera in the wall and makes faces at it. Then he turns to the wall.

FRED

Frank Noble.

ATTENDANT

I'm afraid we have no patient here by that name.

FRED

This is my lawyer, she seems to think that you're holding out on us.

LAWYER

I have definite testimony from another patient here that Mr. Noble is indeed here and being held against his will. We can contact law enforcement authorities but felt that it might be easier for all involved if we tried to handle the situation quietly, but if you insist on making a ruckus about the issue.

FRED

I'm in the mood to make a ruckus. Are you in the mood to make a ruckus?

LAWYER

I...couldn't say.

EXT. LUNATIC ASSLYUM - DAY

FRED NOBLE heads towards a sanitarium with a lawyer in tow. Various patients lay around the grounds doing various crazy things. Fred is obviously very angry.

INT. LOBBY OF ASSLYUM – DAY

Fred walks up to the front desk. He approaches an attendant.

FRED

My name is FRED Noble. I want to see the person in charge of this place.

ATTENDANT

That would be Dr. Dobin. I'll get him.

The Attendant picks up the phone and dials a number.

ATTENDANT

Dr. Dobin? There is a FRED Noble here to see you. Yes. I'll tell him.

Thorne presses a button on the phone and speaks into it. The screen goes black. There is gunfire, and screams can be heard, Frank stares in horror at the screen, and shakes his head in denial.

J.R.R. THORNE

Kill them!

FRANK

NO!

DOC SHADOWS

I will regress you to the age of two for this. Just who do you think you are dealing with? Just because you have a little toy that keeps me from easily reading your mind does not really defend you from me.

J.R.R. THORNE

You WILL be party to this or everything we worked for is useless. His mind is now open to you, you know it, and I know it. Take him now, or do I have to find another telepath, and kill more of Dr. Noble’s family until I have what I want. You are expendable, he is expendable, but what he knows is not. By any means, my Dear Doctor.

Doc Shadows glares at Thorne, but finally squats again and stares into Dr. Noble’s eyes.

DOC SHADOWS

He’s still fighting, but I can…yes…I’m nearly there…I have it…

Doc Shadows shrieks in pain.

Frank Noble thrashes back and forth painfully.

FRANK

TALLYHO!

J.R.R. THORNE

I thought as much, fortunately, I’ve come prepared.

J.R.R. Thorne swings the chair around.

J.R.R. THORNE

Observe the video, Dr. Noble. I think you’ll be interested to see this.

J.R.R. Thorne holds Frank Noble’s head up to be able to see the video screen.

J.R.R. THORNE

Are those your parents, Dr. Noble?

Frank suddenly becomes more animated, and begins to struggle at the restraints.

FRANK

What are you doing?

J.R.R. THORNE

I thought as much. I do my homework Dr. Shadows, and I’ve come to learn that certain violent and sudden psychological trauma can undo these ‘psychic barriers’ you speak of. Let’s find out, shall we?

DOC SHADOWS

You know I do not condone to the harming of innocents. That was part of our arrangements.

J.R.R. THORNE

Your opinion isn’t necessary, Dr. Noble. In fact, if you had simply cooperated in the first place none of this would have happened. You’re a normal flesh and blood human being, like I am. If you can’t understand the logic of what I’m doing, then you’re just not cut out to be among the living…you’re no better than everyone else who blindly sits by and lets these demigods run amok about the earth.

DOC SHADOWS

(chuckles)

Am I a demi-god then?

J.R.R. THORNE

It is interesting Doctor Shadows, that you question my logic. You didn’t question it when you joined my organization. Are you doing so now?

DOC SHADOWS

(pauses)

No. It is necessary.

J.R.R. THORNE

Then proceed with your interrogation.

Doctor Shadows squats down on his legs and stares again into Frank’s eyes. There is a brief visible struggle.

DOC SHADOWS

Amazing…he’s still holding on some how. He’s got something he’s using as a psychic barrier against me….I’ve never seen such willpower.

[Script] Tossing Grenades at Windmills - Page 5

DOC SHADOWS

Yes, he’s weakening…one more time and I should have it. I’m ready to begin at any time.

J.R.R. Thorne flips a switch on the side of the chair, causing Frank to jolt as if from an electric current.

J.R.R. THORNE

Why waste a perfectly good telepathic probe when you can do it the old fashioned way…

Doc Shadows turns off the switch.

DOC SHADOWS

That wasn’t necessary.

J.R.R. THORNE

Of course it didn't help get the information from him, but I think it was, Doctor Shadows, very necessary. It was the kind of necessary that a young mother feels when she shoots the man that ran over her child and drove away into the night, it’s the kind of necessary our founding fathers felt when they dumped the tea into the Boston Harbor, and it’s the kind of necessary that I’ve felt every day of my entire life for the last twenty years. I assure you Doctor Shadows, it was and is necessary.

DOC SHADOWS

I believe your logic has a few flaws in it Thorne.

FRANK

(weakened)

I’ll second that

[Script] Tossing Grenades at Windmills - Page 4

J.R.R. Thorne and Dr. Shadows enter from opposite ends and begin to walk around the chair.

J.R.R. THORNE

Well Dr. Noble, have you changed your mind about giving me the formula?

Frank Noble slowly looks up.

FRANK

Isn’t that already sort of formulaic?

J.R.R. THORNE

Ah yes, evil villain tortures hapless scientist to obtain secret formula to conquer the world, isn’t that it?

FRANK

Something like that yes. It sounds a lot like the shows I watched growing up as a child.

J.R.R. THORNE

Ah, but you see Dr. Noble, the difference between your little television shows and THIS is that you are not only watching but feeling this…feeling the pain searing through your nerves, feeling the unreality of staying awake for 96 hours straight searing through your entire consciousness. You’ve managed to resist Dr. Shadows so far, but do you really think you can continue?

Doc Shadows stops walking around the chair and looks into Frank’s eyes.

[Script] Tossing Grenades at Windmills - Page 3

Shadows sees this. He steps up behind Frank, touches him with one finger and puts him instantly to sleep. He picks Frank up in both arms goes outside.

EXT. OFFICE PARK – AFTERNOON

Doc Shadows takes an unconscious Frank and puts him to the car waiting outside.

Inoria and Hawkqueen stand over the broken robot.

Doc Shadows drives away with Frank, unseen or unnoticed by anyone.

INT. INTEROGATION CHAMBER - NIGHT

A single chair with restraints bolted to the floor with Frank Noble sitting in it. There is a video monitor which cannot be seen by the audience, the lighting is poor, with a bright light shining directly on the seat. Frank Noble has his head down, barely conscious.

A giant robot walks down the street. It vaporizes a car. A large hovercycle pulls up and INORIA and HAWKQUEEN get off.

FRANK NOBLE walks down the street, speaking into a cellphone.

FRANK

Yes, I've nearly got it working. Its pretty amazing stuff. So far its refracted literally everything that I've thrown at it. This could mean unlimited room temperature superconductivity...

Frank ignores the robot. Just another day and battle in the city. Hawkqueen and Inoria do battle against the robot in the background while DOCTOR SHADOWS gets out of a black sedan and follows Frank into his lab. Frank does not see Dr. shadows.

INT. LAB - AFTERNOON

Frank sighs, puts on a pair of goggles and fires up a laser which bounces off a thin sheet of something shiny and tinfoil like. (Reflexium.)

Doctor Shadows watches this, still unseen.

FRANK

If I coat it with a little of this... (Sprays something on the sheet)

The robot walks by the window. Inoria is hanging onto its leg, banging on it with something bulky and metal to utterly no effect.

Frank tries the laser again, this time it is much stronger.

Doc Shadows (Archelius deShade) - A strong powerful man, with noble features he always hides behind a gas mask and fedora. One of the first metas, he has telepathically tricked Death into leaving him alone to give himself immortality. He hates what metas have done to the world and is determined to make it a better place. At all costs.

Hawkqueen (Katrina Dasalgo) - A beautiful empath of the past generation. She is the paramount protector of the city and a skilled warrioress. She works with two empathicly linked hawks, Trouble and Double Trouble.

Inoria - (Jaycee Defoe) - A technowizard, sexy with a bizarre sense of humor. She is the protege of hawkqueen and hopelessly smitten by Frank Noble, despite his insanity. Likes things that explode.

Chainsaw Fred (Fred Noble) - Hates crazy idiots in costume. Owns a hardware store. Frank's pragmatic older brother. Mechanically brilliant, willing to do what must be done to protect his family. Even Frank when he puts on a costume.

J.R.R. Thorne - The villain. He is determined to trick Shadows into building a device which will allow him to steal the technological secrets of a generation and make him a very rich man. He hates metas and has developed a powerful PAC to help him do so.

Dedicated to my lovely wife Julia Carlson Ricks.  This was originally part of a deal for a cover and a graphic novel with an artist who is a friend of mine, but alas, she had other projects she had to move on to and reverted the rights of the script to me.  Someday I may ping her and ask to share with you the delightful art she did for the first chapter, but for now, words will have to suffice.

I'm not sure when, if ever, I'll be able to have this put to art.  Maybe a kickstarter someday but there are at least two other projects that must come before it; Forever West and a second Fate of Inglemia book.  But at least I can share the script with you.

I hope you enjoyed.  More content will appear from time to time here.  Enjoy!
