scene: Captain Nee (the pilot of Rivo’s bird) is looking over a clipboard, as Rivo enters the scene. // caption: [Rivo] “I’m here Cap’…” // narrative (commentary): The Captain looked up, acknowledging Rivo. Saying good morning and that they would begin pre-flight as soon as Verter showed up. Then the Captain, asking but actually more like telling or making a statement said, "You were with him last night?" Rivo answered, "Yeah...but I lost him. I don't know where he disappeared to..." "That's okay," said Cap', "We'll just wait-- he'll show."
// scene: Verter (the bird’s copilot) appears and joins the conversation. Rivo is only a shadow. // Caption: [Verter] “WHOA--HO! WHAT A NIGHT!” // caption: [Captain Nee] “Speak of the devil.” // captions: [Verter] “OH-HO! I ran into a girl that I hadn’t seen in a thousand years…” // “We popped into a couple heads-- And we had a night on the town! Oh, what a night!”
scene: Captain Nee begins scolding Verter, and Verter rebuttals. // caption: [Captain Nee] “VERTER-- You know the rules. Stay out of their heads!” // [Verter] “I know the Rules Cap’. I also know that on the night of a Full Moon the Moongeeks can’t spy on us-- I know the rules…” // caption: [Rivo] “There are girls-- Here?!”
scene: In shock, Verter replies to Rivo. // caption: [Verter] “HA! Mr. RIVO... What planet are you from? Of course there are girls here…”
scene: Rivo pipes up… // caption: [Rivo] “NOMIUS. My family roots trace back to the planet Nomius-- We were stone casters... before the great blast.” // caption: [Captain Nee & Verter] “NOMIUS?!”
narrative (commentary): Upon hearing the word "Nomius”-- what visibly appeared to be a trance came over the Aliens. And probably what could best be described as utter confusion... the three tiny Aliens stopped what they were doing. Then coming together in an imaginary circle, they faced inward. Closing their fists-- crossing their arms-- and placing their palms upon their collarbones-- Looking like little Egyptian mummies, lying (but actually standing) in their sarcophaguses or mummy cases. Bowing their heads, with
their eyes shut tight, they began to chant--
scene: The aliens stand in their circle. // caption (Chant): [Our three characters] “NOMIUS-- ONE TEAM, ONE GOAL, ONE EARTH, ONE SOUL, NOMIUS…”
narrative (commentary): Once the chant was finished, they all opened their eyes
and resumed whatever it was that they were doing just prior.
scene: The boys began to talk again. // caption: [Rivo] “Girls? You said there are girls-- here?” // caption: [Verter] “Oh--Ho! Mr. Rivo-- YES! There are Girls… Girls… Girls… Girls…” // caption: [Captain Nee] “Pre-flight Schmee-flight… Today me thinks we talk about Girls!”
