So...its calories?
SHIP’S COMPUTER
Yes.

SCENE 4 - INT – RECYCLING CENTER – DAY
Freight goes to the recycling center. It is a large room
which is hard to enter.

Freight puts his fingers into the grate, trying to get it to
move. This does not work very well.
CLOSE UP – VENT – DAY – INT
Freight is all bunched up in the vent and can’t reach his
arm back far enough to hit the vent. Freight slowly moves
backwards.
CLOSE UP – VENT – DIFFERENT ANGLE – DAY – INT
Freight is forced to reverse course and and approaches the
vent backwards. He then tries to kick the vent, but isn’t
tremendously successful. He slides forward every time he
tries this. Finally, he signals Bob.
Bob wheels up to the vent and drills tiny holes in the
floor. Freight pushes off of Bob and kicks back on to the
Vent, knocking it out of its socket.
WIDE SHOT – RECYCLING CENTER – DAY – INT
He slowly moves down into the room.
FREIGHT
Good God!
He reacts to the smell and moves slowly back covering his
mouth and nose. He rotates his head around. Freight spots
a bucket and walks over towards it. He picks it up and then
moves towards the main vat which is full of ’recycled’
material which appears and smells like shit. He nearly gags
a few times but then lowers the bucket into the pool and
pulls it out.

FREIGHT
What are my chances of survival?
SHIP’S COMPUTER
35%
FREIGHT
Not the best odds, but how many
calories would it generate if I ate
that?
An amount shows up on the screen. Freight’s eyes bulge
out.
FREIGHT
Could that be undone later?
SHIP’S COMPUTER
Yes. But the procedure would be
very expensive.
Freight considers, and then sighs.
FREIGHT
Let’s look at other options for
now.
He gets up and leaves.
SCENE 3 - INT – SENSORS – DAY
Freight reads the ship’s sensors and notices that there are
areas that are ’gray’. He fiddles with the buttons.
He smiles triumphantly as it shows a calorie reading. He
performs navigation using the map and sees that he has to go
through some tunnels.
FREIGHT
What the hell is that?
SHIP’S COMPUTER
Ship’s recycling center.
FREIGHT
But there is no ship’s garden. I
wouldn’t think you’d reuse stuff.
SHIP’S COMPUTER
It is still processed.

I Odysseus Part 1
Personal circumstances have conspired to prevent me from releasing new material at this time. That, and national novel writing month will take a lot of my time. For those of the five of you listening to the podcast on stitcher or itunes you wouldnt hear the newest version of this, so for about a month and a half every other week, we'll be posting that instead.

BOB
(Clicks.)
Freight laughs to himself as if he thinks it is a stupid
idea. He points the sensors on the bridge. A bright light
shows up.
FREIGHT
What the...BOB! We’ve hit the....
He moves to the right a little. The blob moves to the
right.
FREIGHT
God damn. Its me. Wow. I’m worth
a whole lot of calories. Too bad I
can’t eat me.
He laughs and then gets an odd expression on his face. He
then runs out of the room.
SHOT – MED BAY – DAY – INT
Freight runs up to the doc machine and types in instructions
waiting for an explanation.
FREIGHT
Wow. Look at all that

Freight gets in the chair.
SHIP’S COMPUTER

Mechanical stuff happens.

He is upset for a moment as he points his face at the screen
and some print outs. He directs his visual sensory
apparatus known as eyes at the screen and then the print
outs.
FREIGHT
No. No. That can’t be right.
He checks both a second time.

Freight swears and scatters the print outs. He calms himself
and gathers up the print outs.
SHOT – WIDE – INT MED BAY – DAY
Time has passed. He adds up the numbers a third time.
He reads the numbers a final time and shakes his head.
FREIGHT
God DAMN it.
Freight starts to break down and cry.
He lays his head on the desk and is utterly miserable.
Camera departs in a wide shot showing him resting his head
on the desk, staring despondently at the wall.
SCENE 2 - SHOT – INT – BRIDGE – DAY
Freight reads the sensors pointed at various parts of the
ship trying to find more food. He notices two sections of
the ship, and gets nothing.

OK Bob. Wait, I know. Let’s try

Hallelujah.
Freight fiddles with the sensors. He feeds them to
Bob. Bob wanders the corridors of the ship searching.
Bob finds a room and taps panels. One sounds somewhat
hollow. Freight checks the sensors and peers hopeful.
INT – RANDOM QUARTERS – DAY
Freight points his eyes at the wall, tapping various parts
and a hidden panel opens up. There is a lot of food behind
