FANTASTIC JOURNEY
PAGE ONE
PANEL ONE: View from above of a body lay on an operating table. Surgeons, scientist and nurses working around him.
CAPTION BOX:
YEAR 2178 B.C.E. OPERATING THEATRE OF THE ST. QUALXOR HOSPITAL.
SURGEON:
NURSE, THE PATIENT IS READY. BRING THE CAPTAIN AND HIS TEAM OVER.
PANEL TWO: View from above and in front a nurse walking. She is holding a tray with a needle on it.
NURSE:
COMING DOCTOR.
PANEL THREE: A close up of the tray and needle with the nurses hands at the edges of the PANEL.
CAPTAIN (OFF):
THIS WAS GOING TO BE TRICKY. SYMPTOMS INCLUDED VIOLENT SPASMS IN THE SPINAL COLUMN, HALLUCINATIONS, FEVER AND NO CAUSE HAS BEEN DETECTED.
PANEL FOUR: Just the needle now, full with fluid and a tiny dot floating in it.
CAPTAIN (OFF):
THAT’S WHY THEY’VE GOT US. WE’RE THE BEST AT EXPLORATORY AND DIAGNOSTIC MEDICINE IN THE BUSINESS.
PANEL FIVE: Now we can see inside the needle and the dot is revealed to be a shuttle. It has small window PANELs, thrusters and wings. On top is a glass dome with a canon attached. A stereotypical sci-fi vehicle.
CAPTAIN (OFF):
OR MAYBE WE’RE THE ONLY ONES CRAZY ENOUGH TO PULL OFF A STUNT LIKE THIS.
PAGE TWO
PANEL ONE: A page wide panel revealing the crew in the command deck of the ship. The Captain stands on the furthest left. He is a handsome middle aged man. He stands with his hands on his hips, boldly looking out into the mysterious distance. Behind him stands another, less impressive man, First Mate Vaklev. Vaklev is slimy, devious and wears a crooked scowl. After him, sat at a work station with lots of bleeping lights and radars like devices, is navigation officer Jane O’Hare. She is blonde and beautiful. Her jumpsuit is tight fitting and can barely contain her heaving bosom. After Jane stands the bookish chief science officer Frazer and with him is the young and innocent deck hand Toby. The following captions should float next to the characters in the panel.
CAPTAIN (THOUGHT BOX)1:
THE TEAM INCLUDES MYSELF.
CAPTAIN:
STATUS REPORT
CAPTAIN (THOUGHT BOX)2:
MY FIRST MATE VAKLEV.
VAKLEV:
WE’RE READY FOR INJECTION CAPTAIN.
CAPTAIN (THOUGHT BOX)3:
THE BEAUTIFUL YET INTELLIGENT NAVIGATION OFFICER JANE O’HARE
JANE:
NAVIGATION READY
CAPTAIN (THOUGHT BOX)4:
CHIEF SCIENCE AND MEDICAL OFFICER DR. FRAZER.
FRAZER:
MED-TOOLS PRIMES AND READY
CAPTAIN (THOUGHT BOX)5:
AND OUR DECK HAND AND GOOD LUCK CHARM, TOBY
TOBY:
LET’S GO!
PANEL TWO: The nurse is injecting the unconscious patient in the arm.
CAPTAIN (OFF):
SINCE SPINAL INJECTION WAS TOO RISKY, WE’D HAVE TO ENTER THE BLOOD STREAM AND MAKE OUR WAY TO THE SPINAL COLUMN.
PANEL THREE: A head shot of the Captain, gritting his teeth.
CAPTAIN (THOUGHT BOX):
IT COULD TAKE US A FEW DAYS BUT WE’D SAVE THIS GUY DAMMIT.
CAPTAIN:
HOLD ON EVERYONE, THIS MIGHT GET BUMPY!
PANEL FOUR: Shot from inside a vein. The cavernous roof has a large metal shaft protruding from it; it’s the tip of the needle and from it shoots the ship, a stream of bubbles trailing behind it.
CAPTAIN (OFF):
WE’RE IN!
PAGE THREE
PANEL ONE: The captain sits in his command chair. He strokes his chin with one hand in contemplation.
CAPTAIN (THOUGHT BOX):
THUS FAR THE MISSION HAS BEEN A SUCCESS, BUT AT LITTLE OVER A DAY VAKLEV IS STARTING TO SHOW SIGNS OF PRESSURE.
PANEL TWO: A frontal of Vaklev shouting out. His hair is tattered and his eyes are blood shot. He holds onto his face as he slowly becomes a gibbering maniac.
VAKLEV:
WE’RE IN A HUMAN BODY! DO YOU HAVE ANY DEA HOW CRAZY THIS IS! I BLAME FRAZER! YOUR SCIENCE HAS TAKEN US TOO FAR!
PANEL THREE: Toby is stood in a door way looking with shock at Dr Frazer’s dead body. Various medical tools stick out of his chest as blood glides across the floor.
CAPTAIN (CAPTION):
BY THE SECOND MORNING THE PRESSURE OF THE OPERATION HAD BECOME TOO MUCH AND TRADGEDY STUCK.
TOBY: HEY DOC IT’S TIME TO… OH MY GOD!
PANEL FOUR: Vaklev sits on tiny bed grimacing. He is handcuffed and in the back ground stands the Captain behind a laser fence.
CAPTIAN (THOUGHT BOX):
I HAD NO CHOICE.
CAPTAIN:
WHEN WE GET OUT OF HERE YOU’LL FACE TRIAL, TIL THEN ENJOY THE BRIG.
PANEL FIVE: Exterior shot of the ship again. This time the wall of the vein is crashing into the side of the ship, cracking the hull.
CAPTAIN(CAPTION):
DAY THREE BROUGHT MORE BAD NEW. AN INVOLUNTARY MUSCLE SPASM IN THE PATIENT CAUSED SERIOUS HULL DAMAGE.
PAGE FOUR
PANEL ONE: The Captain and Jane have small jet packs and helmets on as they float outside the ship as they repair the damage. Toby is nowhere to be seen.
CAPTAIN:
SURE IS GOOD TO GET THE SHIP UP AND RUNNING AGAIN EH TOBY? TOBY
PANEL TWO: The Captain stares with shock as Toby’s half dissolved corpse floats towards him. A white blood cell is attached to Toby and in the back ground we can see more approaching.
CAPTAIN:
TOBY! NO!
JANE (OFF):
CAPTAIN HELP!
CAPTAIN (THOUGHT BOX):
WHITE BLOOD CELLS, THE BODIES DEFENCE SYSTEM, HAD DETECTED US AND WHERE TRYING TO GET RID OF US.
PANEL THREE: The Captain grabs Jane as he kicks a white blood cell from her. Her clothes have been partially dissolved to make her even sexier.
CAPTAIN (THOUGHT BOX): THANKFULLY I WAS ABLE TO GET TO JANE BEFORE ANY REAL DAMAGE WAS CAUSED.
CAPTAIN: OFF YOU BRUTE!
JANE: OH MY!
PANEL FOUR: Now inside the ship the Captain runs to the steering wheel as Jane pulls the hatch closed.
CAPTAIN:
LET’S GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE!
PANEL FIVE: The ship blasts away leaving the white blood cells reeling in its wake.
PAGE FIVE
PANEL ONE: The Captain stands at the steering wheel. He steers with one hand and holds onto Jane with the other. She looks frightened whilst he has a look of steely determination.
CAPTAIN (THOUGHT BOX):
WE MANAGED TO GET AWAY MAKE IT TO THE CAUSE OF ALL THE PROBLEMS…
JANE:
OH CAPTAIN, IT WAS SO HORRIBLE.
CAPTAIN:
YOU’RE SAFE NOW.
PANEL TWO: A shot of the Captain and Jane both looking shocked.
CAPTAIN: WHAT THE?
JANE: GASP!
PANEL THREE: A big panel looking out of the main window of the ship, the captain is in the corner of the panel looking on in shock as we see another ship, crashed into the wall of a muscle. Some dark fluid leaks from it upward like smoke and its hazard lights are blinking. Outside the ship is a person in the jumpsuit waving at the ship as it arrives.
CAPTAIN (THOUGHT BOX):
BUT NOW WE’VE ARRIVED, I HAVE TO WONDER, WAS IT WORTH IT?
STRANDED PERSON:
OH HEY! OVER HERE! CAN YOU GUYS GIVE ME A LIFT?
