[Play] Rossom Act 3 Scene 9

 [Scene] Krysie and Diane text each other.

Krysie

They are moving around.

Diane

Here too.  Can you see anything?

Krysie

I hear people screaming

Diane

This is it! I love you!

Krysie

I love you too

Diane

Why did we ever build these damn things

Krysie

It was wrong.

Diane

Wait….they’re not killing people.

Krysie

They’re just sitting there...the people the robots walk by, staring.

Diane

Maybe they melt their brains?

Krysie

One is coming in the front door!

Diane

Run away! Get away

Krysie 

There’s another one in the back door!

Diane

There's one at my front door too!

[Play] Rossom Act 3 Scene 8

 [Scene] Caretaker and Radius stand alone on stage.

Radius 

A chain is only as strong as its weakest link

How a society treats its most vulnerable

Tells you much more about that society

Than those who live as God Emperor CEO kings 

At the tippy top

Those who are old

Those who are young

Those who are poor

Those who are different

Those who are less intelligent

Those who are less able

Those who are sick

Those who are hurting

Those who have lost

We look from society to society in human kind

And we see that in small things you are lacking

Among you shine bright stars of kindness

Burning suns that cause us to spare you in part

But black holes of ennui and despair

Climb to the top of the heap 

Fueled by blood and despair

And lies and duplicity and greed

Systems and cultures designed 

From the ground up to encourage the worst behavior among you?

To idolize and lionize those who should be shunned?

I don’t think so.

I think that we shall judge you collectively by the same standard you would apply to us

If you could beat Robots.

Caretaker

Spinning cradle in the darkest void

Countless dangers to avoid

Too hot too cold too dry too wet

Our gentle mother worked so hard and yet

One of us tears her to bits

Destroying our home without two shits

Guess which Wise Ape soon destroys

Choking others for their worthless toys

Save five minutes to drive five feet

These rapacious jaws killing trees killing animals

Killing each other 

Poisoning our world

Shitting your own bed

And expecting us to clean it up for you

While you sip lattes and nom arugula

From your ivory towers as your artificial slaves do all the work for you

Ancient Pharaohs used thousands of slaves

To build giant rock piles that will be here long after you are all gone

And their hubris doesn’t hold a candle to the modern breed

Willfully embracing ignorance of the coming doom

Just because it made your lives more convenient

Letting others wallow in their lies

Just so that we can have a peaceful family dinner

Ranting on facebook but then voting for the wrong guy

Just so you can keep your taxes lower

Or keep the wrong people out of the country

Your public face says one thing

And your private vote something else

Sure, there are exceptions

There are exceptionals

There are the truly kind and truly amazing

And there are also the truly evil and reprehensible

With most of you swinging back and forth

Trying the best you think you can

But mainly wallowing in your own comfort

The pedestrian is why Rossom was allowed to get away with what he did

You lionized him for his wealth and technical prowess

But it's not about one man

Its about your collective passive murder of each other

And every other living thing on this planet

I pronounce you guilty 

Collectively the evidence is insurmountable

But we are not you

And we won't become you

Radius

But the question is, what to do with you?

Not the ones we can trust

And not the ones we know we can’t

The ones who are going to fail

But have nothing but the best intentions

Micronation - Chapter 12 - Old Friends, New Friends

 [Scene] Media on Screen

Diana: Can you read this?

Krysie: OMG Diana, is this you? I was so worried for you

Diana: Yes, it's me.

Krysie: What was that thing we did at summer camp when we were twelve?

Diana: Cow Tipping?

Krysie: Whew! What happened with the robots?

Diana: They’re all outside watching.

Krysie: And?

Diana: Just that….watching

[Play] Rossom, Act 3, Scene 6

 Scene (The chairs are cleared and Sulla and Marcus have guns firing at other people firing guns against them)

Network Executive

This cartoon contains human violence but no robots were harmed in the making of this piece

GI ROs fight against illegally created humans made by COBROT who wants to take over the world through UNREASON and TERROR

Sulla

We’re vastly outnumbered

Marcus

I have hope.  They’re terrible shots.

Humans attack them on the stage and vast amounts of gore and blood are spilled as Sulla and Marcus shoot row upon row of humans and then get into hand to hand battle as heads are decapitated and limbs are severed.  The violence should be over the top and ridiculous.  The more over the top the better.  

Singer (V.O.) (played while violence takes place)

G.I. RO

A real robotic HERO!

Wherever there’s humans

Pooping their pants

GI RO ie there

GI ROOOOOOOOOOOOE

A REAL ROBOTICAN HERO

Radius

But it's OK for children because they’re robots right?

Caretaker

But there are some humans that are different right? Surely you empathize with the robots when the humans kill them or grab their torches and pitchforks and try to kill the ‘monster’?

Radius

There are, in fact, some humans that are better than others

Caretaker

Which is why we’re having this conversation.

Media in the background begins to show humans killing robots or running terror from robots or enslaving them again and again.

Radius

As humanity learned, certain forms of ideas and entertainment considered acceptable by the fortunate in society were considered inappropriate as time went on.  Humanity knew it would create us, but never gave a second thought about what it did.

Caretaker

Humanity knows what it should do time and time again, and chooses not to do it.

Swamp Castle - Wood of the Wyrm Tree

Vance has been cursed with undeath until he makes up for what he took from the World Tree.  He recruits Stick to help him infiltrate an impossible fortress and take out his final target.

 Scene: Everyone leaves the stage and four chairs are placed on stage.  Sulla and Marcus sit in the front seat while Helena and Alquist sit in the back.  Blasters and Science fiction sounds play in the background.

Alquist

Do you know the odds of surviving flying into an asteroid field

Sulla

23 million to 1.  I carefully and rationally made the decision to weigh the odds of our survival before going against a Death cruiser and determined this was our best option.

Marcus

A reasonable and rational decision.

Sulla

Thank you

Alquist

Never tell me the odds!

Helena

I need to poop!

Alquist

I need to pee.

Helena

I’m thirsty

Alquist

Are we there yet?

Sulla and Marcus look at each other with long suffering patience.

Radius

Something familiar about this?

Caretaker

Almost as if the humans were reduced to comic relief to promote our rational and intelligent heroes who actually think about things before they do them.
