Keepin’ It Surreal
Merriam Hayden
Start
SHIMBU TRAIN STATION, people walking around everywhere (desert dwellers and city dwellers)
ANGIE: -looks up at the scheduling board, shoulders back pack, walks past Torrid)
SISTER SADINA: May God give you strength to overcome all obstacles on your journey.
TORRID: May God hear you. –Grips satchel and turns to go, turns back- Sister, -hesitation- thanks.
SISTER SADINA: -smiles and waves goodbye-
TORRID: -smiles back and walks past Janet-
JANET: -tech in wrists being authorized-
DESK CLERK: You’re good to Ms. Sage.
JANET: Officer Sage, but thank you.
BLUE GUARD 1: Well, aren’t you a stuck up bitch.
JANET: She’s referred to everyone else as “Officer” and since I would prefer the same title.
B.G. 1: Women only get those titles because they let the old farts in charge fuck them-Ack!
JANET: Commander. –Salutes-
ANTIGONE: -had whacked him with his cane- Janet became an Officer of the Blue Guard because she’s a hard worker like her father. Also, if I hear any more remarks like that from you you’ll be taken off the mission, understood?
B.G. 1: I…yes sir.
ANTIGONE: -grins- Besides, you shouldn’t say things like that when in the presence of dignified company. –Points to Kathy-
KATHY: -sitting all ladylike on a large suitcase-
ELIJAH: -looks over at Kathy from under his hood-
KANSAS: (Gaan) She’s exactly like the Elder Mother described her.
ELIJAH: (Gaan) She looks afraid and sad.
ANDREW: (Gaan) All that matters is that we steal her. If it were up to me-
KANSAS: (Gaan) Well, it’s not up to you Mr. Impatient. This place is swarming with Blue Guards.
UNDISCLOSED LOCATION, NAMBULA
HYDE: -focuses in on Elijah/Kansas/Andrew with a camera, switches camera and observes Kathy being lead by Janet onto the train-
ERIC: -at a computer, message pops up-
COMPUTER: Message from the Eyes.
ERIC: -clicks something- Is there something you want to tell me Hyde?
HYDE: No, I just love listening to your voice.
ERIC: I told you that unless you have something related to-
HYDE: She’s on her way.
ERIC: What? Really? –Expression changes from uninterested to ecstatic-
HYDE: That’s right, your caged bird is on a train that leads from Shimbu to Delvco, from Delvco it’s a straight shot to Nambula. She’ll be here in under a week’s time.
ERIC: -sighs- That’s the best thing I’ve heard all day. Keep watch on that train and continue to observe the train stations.
HYDE: If you could put cameras on the trains themselves I could leak you footage of her.
ERIC: I would’ve had the proposal not been shot down by my cabinet. Damn pretend democracy. Though it won’t matter after the International Council is in my back pocket and I’ve opened trade across the borders. I will have the right to put cameras all over the world. We’ll be able to see everything.
HYDE: That’s nice Eric. The train carrying your precious bird will depart in two minutes.
TRAIN, KATHY AND TEAM OF BLUE GUARDS WALK THROUGH THE FIRST CLASS CARS
TORRID: -sitting by himself in the third class car-
ELIJAH: Excuse me, may I sit here?
TORRID: -looks up at him- No one’s stopping you.
ELIJAH: -sits across from him-
ANGIE: Hi! I’m Angie and I have no one to sit with-
TORRID: -picks him up by his shirt and sits him down next to him-
ANGIE: Uh, thanks?
ELIJAH: Why is someone so young alone?
ANGIE: Eh? Um, well-
ELIJAH: Where is your family?
ANGIE: I…don’t have one. I’m going to Delvco to find some relatives and-
TORRID: You’re a stowaway aren’t you? –Lights up-
ANGIE: What?! How could you-
TORRID: You’re transparent kid. Relax, we won’t rat you out. Right? –Looks at Elijah-
ELIJAH: What?
TORRID: If anyone asks this kid is with us. Okay sir?
ELIJAH: I am Elijah of the Azuni tribe and this boy is in my care.
ANGIE: I’m Angelo Sage! But you guys can call me Angie.
TORRID: Isn’t that a girl’s name?
ANGIE: No! It can be a boy’s name too!
TORRID: No it can’t.
ANGIE: Well, what’s your name?!
TORRID: Torrid Warwick.
ANGIE: Torrid? Seriously? That’s not a name that’s a word!

KATHY: -looks up at her while sitting across from Antigone-
JANET: First security check has been done sir.
ANTIGONE: Hm? Oh, good good.
JANET: -sigh- Permission to speak Commander?
ANTIGONE: Always.
JANET: Shouldn’t you be at least a little more concerned about the security on this train?
ANTIGONE: We can only do so much, Janet. After all, it’s not like a Rebel is going to admit to it because we ask. No one’s that honest.
JANET: Commander-
ANTIGONE: Antigone. You’ve earned the right to use my first name.
JANET: Antigone-
ANTIGONE: Sit down. Ms. Vedichello doesn’t want to play poker with me.
KATHY: -looks shy- It’s not a ladylike game.

TORRID: -snickers and lights up-
BG 1: -hits Torrid with the end of his gun-
TORRID: What the hell?!
BG 1: This isn’t a smoking car.
TORRID: Maybe if you’d let us leave this car-
BG 1: There’s precious cargo on this train! It won’t do to have a bunch of darkies wandering around the other cars.
TORRID: -angry with rage-
ANGIE: What kind of cargo?
BG 1: That’s classified.
TORRID: If we don’t know what the fuck it is why would it matter if I went to the smoking car?

TORRID: -get’s in a few good hits before other Blue Guard’s come, make him sit down and put a gun to his head-
ANGIE: -sitting next to Elijah- I just wanted to know what the cargo is. You didn’t have to fight him, Torrid!
BG 2: Don’t talk. We’ll deal with this situation once we get to Delvco.
BG 1: -sportin’ a black eye- I don’t see why we can’t throw him off the train!
BG 2: Commander Skye will love to hear about how you started a fight with a passenger.
JANET: -enters car- What the hell?
ANGIE: Sis?!
TORRID: Janet?!
BG 2: I told you not to talk.

JANET: Angelo Gabriel Sage, do Mom and Danny know you’re here?!
ANGIE: Erm, no. –Looks ashamed-
JANET: -sigh- When we get to Delvco we’re calling them. –turns to Elijah- Sir, if you wouldn’t mind…
ELIJAH: -looks very out of his depth- I have already sworn to take Angelo Sage under my care.

TORRID: -glances at Angie- See ya kid.
ANGIE: Wait! –grabs him as Torrid jumps off the train-
ELIJAH: -grips at the wound and fumbles one handed with a walkie talkie- Kwame! Kwame!
KWAME: -over the walkie talkie- Yes, Holy Man?

ANDREW: -about to bring his staff down, but is intercepted by Elijah- Elijah! What is the meaning of this?
ELIJAH: Have you forgotten that it’s a sin to kill a child? Or are you trying to turn yourself into a demon?!
ANDREW: Child or not he’s a Salt Skin and he’s in my way.
ELIJAH: A child is innocent regardless of their skin! Besides, I have sworn to protect this particular child as a promise to his sister.
ANDREW: His Salt Skin sister?
ELIJAH: I am bound by my words no matter who I say them to. You know this.
ANDREW: And the man?
ELIJAH: I won’t let you harm him either. He isn’t in a uniform and he isn’t a threat to us. We need to meet up with the Beta Group, help me carry him.

KATHY: Miss! Miss! Please make this monster stop! She’s going to kill Ms. Janet!
KWAME: Monster?! Maggs is hardly a monster!
JANET: -gasps- For Jesa’s sake!
KWAME: Hm, Maggs! Let the pretty blonde go!
MAGGS: -loosens up and let’s Janet go limp-
KWAME: Alright, Ms. Vedichello, like it or not you’re coming with me!
KATHY: I…can we take Ms. Janet?
KWAME: Pretty girl? I guess so. –grins- Load them in the buggy Maggs.
TORRID: -holds Angie’s wrist and wonders around, avoids people when possible-
ANGIE: Do you think we’ll find him?
TORRID: We’ll have to try! –can’t avoid Andrew so he defends himself-
ANDREW: -punches Torrid-
TORRID: -is down and out-
ANDREW: -raises his staff to bash in his head-
ANGIE: NO! –throws self down on Torrid-
ANDREW: -about to bring his staff down, but is intercepted by Elijah- Elijah! What is the meaning of this?
ELIJAH: Have you forgotten that it’s a sin to kill a child? Or are you trying to turn yourself into a demon?!
ANDREW: Child or not he’s a Salt Skin and he’s in my way.
ELIJAH: A child is innocent regardless of their skin! Besides, I have sworn to protect this particular child as a promise to his sister.
ANDREW: His Salt Skin sister?
ELIJAH: I am bound by my words no matter who I say them to. You know this.
ANDREW: And the man?
ELIJAH: I won’t let you harm him either. He isn’t in a uniform and he isn’t a threat to us. We need to meet up with the Beta Group, help me carry him.
ANDREW: -lifts Torrid up by the arm- Elijah, you’re hurt.
ELIJAH: Samson can look at it later.
ANDREW: -tears off a piece of cloak and wraps up Elijah’s wound- That will hold for now.
ANGIE: -tags along, has no idea what’s going on-
ANTIGONE: -is picked up by a Buggy-
