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.

Just the Bumpers
We're still working on getting our process down but we do now have permanent bumpers and a single episode in the can which is being edited. We should be back to our regular style of programming next week.
If you can call anything we do regular.

FREIGHT
AND YOU SHUT UP. We all know you’re
a Cthulhu worshiper.
AARON
Cultist Orthodox twice reformed.
KENDRA
If you took better care of the ship
(beat) You need to take better care
of the ship.
FREIGHT
You think I don’t know that, but
after this run we’ll be just fine.
KENDRA
Freight...about this run....
FREIGHT
Yeah yeah yeah. We’ve all heard
about how nasty the Confed
is. Look, they’re not gods. Just
genetically modified. Besides,
after this, we’ll move on to safer
parts.
KENDRA
I still say we dump the
cargo. This stuff is
dangerous. This stuff could be
used to make illegal AI’s. Slave
AI’s.
FREIGHT
Can’t do that if you want to fix
the ship.
KENDRA
Can’t fix the ship if we’re on
Shitworld.
Aaron stops smiling.
AARON
Fucking don’t talk about
Shitworld. Dude. Its seriously
bad luck. Like major bad mojo.
FREIGHT
RELAX. We’ll be fine. We’re
almost there. The Confed hasn’t
even finished setting things up
since they won.

AARON
GOD! WHY OH WHY Have thou forsaken
us?
FREIGHT
You idiot.
He laughs and punches Aaron’s shoulder.
AARON
It is true lord, I am an
idiot. Wouldst the thou take that
into consideration in the repair of
our ship? A spontaneous miracle?
Kendra smirks amused but doesn’t join in with the
laughing. She points to the left.
KENDRA
You know Sol is about that way. If
you’re looking for God, he’s
probably there.
AARON
God is everywhere.
KENDRA
So is his Noodliness.
AARON
BLASPHEME.
KENDRA
Right back at you.
All stare and look at each other for a moment and then break
into laughter, Aaron first, then Freight, then finally
Kendra.
A small alarm beeps. Kendra examines a sensor log. She
shakes her head.
KENDRA
Another chunk of the ship just blew
off.
FREIGHT
GOD DAMN IT!
AARON
Forgive him lord, he knows not what
he says.
