The Space Between Us Page #5

Synopsis: In this interplanetary adventure, a space shuttle embarks on the first mission to colonize Mars, only to discover after takeoff that one of the astronauts is pregnant. Shortly after landing, she dies from complications while giving birth to the first human born on the red planet - never revealing who the father is. Thus begins the extraordinary life of Gardner Elliot - an inquisitive, highly intelligent boy who reaches the age of 16 having only met 14 people in his very unconventional upbringing. While searching for clues about his father, and the home planet he's never known, Gardner begins an online friendship with a street smart girl in Colorado named Tulsa. When he finally gets a chance to go to Earth, he's eager to experience all of the wonders he could only read about on Mars - from the most simple to the extraordinary. But once his explorations begin, scientists discover that Gardner's organs can't withstand Earth's atmosphere. Eager to find his father, Gardner escapes the team

"At least not in Nantucket." Repeat.

Here we are. Allow me, won't you?

Well, I guess chivalry not entirely dead

at least not in Nantucket.

Bravo. Well done.

Are you gonna visit your ex-husband?

I've hacked into the scientist's records.

You are the clever computer stalker.

Why did you get divorced?

He changed when he found out

we couldn't have children.

Did that make you sad that

you could not have children?

That's a tough one.

It meant I did not have to choose.

Motherhood was not a dream

I was chasing at that time

My father is somewhere on that thing.

Earth. We could go and find him.

We do not have to tell him who I am.

I could just see him.

Maybe I can ask for the time.

No one has to know.

- Do you know where he lives?

- No.

His name?

Gardner, I promise, I don't know

anything about him. Nobody does.

How am I supposed to act on Earth?

With the people.

Mr. Shepherd?

Your coffee.

CURRENT MISSION CREW

Excuse me Sir,

do you have an appointment?

- Tom.

- Sir.

- Tom.

- Nathaniel... Stop!

What are you doing here?

- I am here to meet him.

- Impossible.

- No, what's impossible...

his shuttling back and forth to Mars.

What's impossible is

building our salvation there.

But I made those things happen,

so you tell me what's impossible

Gardner, Gardner

how are you feeling?

- Water.

- Everything okay?

Water.

- Are you thirsty?

- No, no there is...

- Get this back on.

- There is water everywhere.

I feel so heavy.

But why. Is that normal?

- I believe the term is 'euphoria'.

Sorry about the quarantine.

It's to protect you from us,

not us from you.

Same bubble, different planet.

Nothing has changed. has it?

But Except that.

It is so blue, and green.

There are so many colors.

I'm Nathaniel Shepherd.

How you doing?

I am Fine. I just weigh too much.

I know who you are.

I want to be them.

Well, It's Funny,

because they want to be you.

I got so many questions about Mars.

- Not as many as I have over earth.

- You'd be surprised.

I'll go first.

What is your favourite thing about earth?

Rain. My turn.

What is your favourite thing to do on Mars?

- To Pretend it's earth. My turn.

Did you see my mother die?

- No.

Yes.

Yes. I'm..

I am Sorry.

What scares you?

- You. You're very disarming.

Are you gonna kick me on out of turn?

- Yes.

Can I stay on earth?

- I can't answer that.

Why rain?

- Because it washes everything clean.

- Kendra.

- Hello.

We meet in person.

How you feel?

Heavy.

What's getting me concerned are these

inconsistencies in this last batch.

What about blood?

Blood work is virtually normal,

but if we are going to...

Virtually? Virtually,

Is that what we do around here now?
