Lost in Space Page #7

BUSINESSMAN:

They found a replacement pilot, the

mission is going ahead on schedule.

MAN:

How tragic. For you.

BUSINESSMAN:

We require more direct intervention.

MAN:

I see. Well, that will cost you. And,

I'm afraid my price has just become

... astronomical.

(OVER) a KNOCK. The man reaches forward and presses a button. The

businessman, the desert disappear, only holographs.

Room lights.

Lights come up to reveal...

INT.-MISSION CONTROL-MEDICAL LABS

The man turns, revealing a face as clever an his eyes are evil. This is

DR. ZACHARY SMITH. He walks to the door, palms a panel, and the portal

hiss open. A TECHNICIAN ENTERS.

TECHNICIAN:

Control hasn't received the results

of your final pre-flight exams,

Doctor Smith.

The Doctor moves to a circular overhead light board around which are

displayed the faces of the crew of the Jupiter craft. Removes the

micro-files, hands them to the technician.

SMITH:

The Robinsons are checked out at one

hundred percent. They are in perfect

condition and ready to fly.

He smiles, so sweet you can barely see the malevolence behind it.

SMITH:

Wish them good luck for me.

CHAPTER 6:
Welcome Aboard!

--------------------------

INT.-SPACE COMMAND-WALKING

Three small figures walk through a gantry towards the ship.

GENERAL (OVER)

The mission protocols are simple.

Professor Robinson is in command

unless you encounter a military

emergency. In that case, Major West,

you will assume command.

The figures have come to the saucer entry-port.

JOHN (OVER)

Welcome aboard, Major.

INT.-JUPITER BRIDGE - CONTINUOUS

Don, John, and the General ENTER. Don's eyes widen.

West looks like somebody sprung for the full extras package on this

baby.

REVERSE ANGLE:

Hi-tech heaven. Two pilots, chairs face a giant windscreen. Don walks

to the consoles that stretch toward the back walls.

JOHN:

Some of this technology might be new

to you. I'll be happy to explain.

WEST:

(off the com)

Cold fusion drive

(off the size consoles)

Rambler-Krey Life Sciences stations.

Don strides to a pedestal in the center of the bridge. Flicks a switch

and a holographic Jupiter craft appears on the launch pad.

WEST:

Holographic navigational interface.

Don points to a row of man-sized glass cylinders on the back wall.

WEST:

Cryosleep array. Fully monitored.

He approaches the blast doors that lead off the back of the bridge.

WEST:

Sick bay, remote Ops, engineering and

living quarters are below decks.

Hyperengine should be in here.

Don hits a wall panel which opens to reveal an immense ENGINE ROOM.

JOHN:

If you have to baby sit, it's not

such a bad nursery, wouldn't you

agree, Major?
