I'm just trying to get people to read it. I used to write my stories and orbid people to read them (dumb huh). It was because I put some of my own characteristics in some characters. Jenna's my evil side, even though I'd never do the things she'd do, but hey It's sometimes fun to have evil people. Well her it is. Could ya help me with a title?? ~Shea Scene starts as Lucas hits the keyboard, He is on the bridge as Bridger watches, They are in a training of some sort, Lucas falls back in his seat with a sigh. minimal crew on SeaQuest Lucas: I’ve lost Bridger: Lost? Lucas:yeah, (throws down head set and puts his hand to chin to pout) damn. Bridger: It’s ok Lucas, It was only a simulation lucas: a simulation to see how i would deal with a real situation. I’ve failed. A teenage girl with red hair walks up to Lucas, She’s obviously like a female Lucas smartwise. her name is Jenna McCall Jenna: Actually Lucas, all you had to do was type in your code and a simple scrambling hacker code and you would have never been detected. Lucas: And who are you? Jenna: Jenna McCall, ensign for SeaQuest. Also I’m here for the same reason you are. My father dumped me here. Your father’s a nice man, You look like him, Like father like son. Lucas’ eyes scrutinize her and she knows this bothers him, it gives her an extra pat on the shoulder. She turns toward the captain. Jenna: Captain, my quarters, sir? (sincere) Bridger: (files through papers and takes out a few sheets. her you go Miss. McCall. Jenna: Thankyou sir, Lucas?? (expecting something) Lucas:yes? Jenna: for heavans sake, my bags! (said like, my bags you idiot!) Lucas: excuse me??? Captain! ? Bridger: Lucas, you’re done ehre, and I’ve got to report to our Scretary General on stuff, You can give Miss. McCall a tour of SeaQuest. Be nice. Lucas: but sir.... bridger: yes Lucas?? (bat) GO! Lucas heaves the suitcases up and they leave, Jenna struts behind him. Cut to a hall, Lucas is tired, the bags are heavy, Jenna is staring up at the Darwin’s tubes/moonpools jenna: what are these?? Lucas: Darwin’s water tubes Jenna: darwin? Lucas: The Captain’s Dolfin Jenna: where can i find him? Lucas: oh no no no, first your room. I’m not hunting for a dolfin when I have these heavy suitcases Jenna: (they are now at her room) (chuckles) you’re so charming, Like your dad, I used to work with him. Lucas: (puts suitcases down) What do you know of my charm?? I’m not like my father! I actually care about people! Lets not talk of my father. Jenna: not like you’d care huh?? I mean you are a Walenczak!(enters her room) Lucas: what the hell does that supposed to mean?? Jenna: It means you are exactly like your father in every way possible (smiles mischeiviously and shuts door in his face) Jenna:I’ll call you if I need anything! Lucas: (sarcasm) great. (Cut to mess hall, attendance: wendy Smith, Lonnie Henderson, Tony Piccolo) Lucas: Thats exactly what she said, She thinks I’m here slave! And she won’t shut up about my father! Wendy: Come on Lucas! She’s nice , she’s new here, give ehr a chance! She helped me with some experiments. Jenna’s a nice girl. Piccolo: yeah, she’s cool. she helped feed Darwin today. Lucas: she’s up to something! Jenna:up to what? Lucas: uhh.. nothing of importance. Jenna: Lucas, can you tell me where the knifes are??? (she is holding a tray) Lucas: behind the trash can, next to the counter. Jenna: could you get them? Lucas: excuse me? Lonnie: come on Lucas, She’s new here. Lucas: yeah I know, she’s new here (leaves, Jenna sits in his spot and begins talking with everyone, they start to laugh, Lucas looks back at his table of friends and he seems replaced, he gets the knife and returns) Lucas: you’re in my spot (there is no more room at the table, the rest is filled with extras) Piccolo: Lucas! Be hospitable, let her stay. She has no where else to sit. (lucas feels like saying and where do you propose I sit?, Lucas nods at th realization that he’s not wanted. He toses the knife at Jenna and leaves, dumping his barely touched Lunch into the garbage, Jenna shrugs.) Jenna: he really overreacts, Just like his father. (Wendy catches onto this and for a split second she thinks of what Lucas was saying but she brushes it off instead and forgets about it) (Cut to Lucas quarters, Julliana is on the vidlink) Lucas: this new ensignis horrible. I have to do things for her and she always is referring to my father, It’s like she’s obsessed, she’s rubbing it in that my parents don’t care about me. Jullianna: I’m sure you’re just overreacting, no one would do that! It’s so mean. Lucas: (sighs) and to top it off, the Captain has been giving me shorter shifts because jenna can do my job! I feel so useless now! Jullianna: (giggles) you’re cute when you’re mad. Lucas: (sighs, then smiles, Jenna walks in, Lucas looks annoyed) hello, Jenna Jenna: lucas, I’m sorry I’ve been pestering you, I just don’t know SeaQuest as well as you do. Lucas: (suspicious) apology accepted Julliana:See Lucas, you were just overreacting (Jenna plants a kiss on Lucas, in front of Jullianna, Lucas is surprised and wipes his mouth,) Lucas: Jullianna!!!! Jullianna: Lucas....(she’s crying and severes the channal, Jenna smiles triumphantly and leaves for the bridge, Lucas tries to reconnect with Jullianna) Lucas: Jullianna!! no no Jullianna! (cut to bridge) Jenna is sitting at Lucas’ station. she’s doing his job, typing in codes. Lucas rushes in. He looks horrible, like he ran all the way. He’s angry. Lucas:You (points to Jenna, crew turns at this outburst) Bridger: Lucas you’re fifteen minutes late!! Thank goodness jenna was here! Lucas: (scowls, ignores captain) YOU! You’ve taken away everything! My friends, my life, my job, (beat) and now.... Bridger: what are you talking about?? Jenna has been here the whole time! Lucas: oh no, she’s not your sweet little girl! She’s evil, she’s taken everything from me!!! Jenna: I don’t know what you’re talking about, (beat, said as one final stab at Lucas) Your father overreacts and has tantrums like this too. Runs in the family most likely Lucas: My father?? (Lunges at Jenna, henderson and Piccolo hold him back,ucas suddenly stops and backs off.) Lucas: you’ve erased everything i have. Now I have nothing (beat) why? Jenna:Lucas, I think you need help from doctor Smith. Lucas: (scrutinizes her ) go to hell (leaves bridge, bridger bends over to Jenna) Bridger: do you want to elaborate on his behavior Jenna:I know as much as you do. Piccolo: Lucas has never acted like this! (beat) strong fellah (cut to docking bay) Lucas runs into docking bay and boards a sub, exterior view, the stinger is seen leaving seaquest. Cut to inside stinger. Voice heard over intercom. Henderson: turn back stinger, identify yourself. Lucas: take a wild guess henderson: Lucas?? What are you doing?? Return to docking bay four immediatly, I’m prepared to take over controls Lucas: I’d like to see you try. I’m a computer genius, i can over power you, i can over power SeaQuest if I wanted! Try and stop me! (beat, said with deep bitterness) Don’t worry, your precious Jenna can guide you. (Cut to bridge) Henderson: he won’t turn back sir. Bridger: take control! Henderson: no can do, he overrided the system! Bridger: (addressing crew) Who can break Lucas codes?? (jenna looks horrifyed, Piccolo pats her back) Piccolo: don’t worry, wasn’t your fault (Jenna’s face is now hidden from everyone and she smiles wickedly with triumph, She stands up and with sincere innocence) Jenna: I’m sorry, they’re too difficult (scene finishes off with Bridger’s dissatisfyed face) (cut to a cities street, Lucas has a piece of paper in hand and he’s looking for an address, camera sees the number, it’s 73, camera looks at house number, it says seventy-three. Lucas rings door bell and a mid aged woman comes out..) Lady: yes Lucas: hello, m’am, I’m looking for someone who lives here by the name of Julliana? Lady: she’s at the academy Lucas:The academy’s out for the summer. (voice from back says, I’m not here) Lady: she’s not in right now Lucas:I know she’s here lady: I’m sorry young man (starts to close door when Lucas sticks his foot in the way) Lucas: tell her (beat, this is hard for him) tell her that I love her and It wasn’t might fault (thinks about how he phrased that and nods) yeah. (leaves) (cut to inside of Jullianna’s home, She’s sitting on the stairs and the lady crosses her arms) Lady: what did he do that was so wrong Julliana: He kissed another girl. lady: I think hes sorry, He’s worthy by my books, and he’s very polite (well, it’s your life, (beat) you heard what he said Jullianna: (quieter) i know (cut to the bridge of SeaQuest) Henderson: Sir we can’t track him on land, his pal is gone. Bridger; he’ll be back, we won’t leave until he comes back. (Jenna starts to type extrememly fast, then she presses enter triumphantly and the alarms go off ) Ford: what is that?? Ortiz: Alarms in sector F bridger: check it out, take some men with you (now only minimal crew aboard, Ford, bridger, Henderson, Piccolo, oneal and a few extras. Jenna types some more and the bridge doors go down) Ford: what the... (lights blink and everything goes haywire, Henderson touches her station and is electricuted, she falls to the ground unconcious, bridger props her up, Jenna takes a gun from under the station and moves to the front of SeaQuest) jenna: Ok, everyone, you are now under the control of me. (smiles, liking the fact that she is in control) Bridger: Jenna! Jenna: Oneal tie the Captain and Ford up please Oneal: No! (Jenna points gun at his head) then again, sure (he rips out some wires and ties them up) jenna: Tony set up a vidlink to the Secretary General Piccolo: un-electrify the controls first! (Jenna types in a code and Tony sets up vid link, Secretary General comes into view) SG: nathan! Are you alright! Jenna: I want 2.5 billion dollars or Nathan dies (points gun at him) SG: on what grounds! Jenna: The fact that I’m holding him at gun point! And It’s all just a random terrorist attack, I’ll be famous for the down fall of seaQuest Bridger: get Lucas, he’s the only one who can save us and stop her Jenna: now why’d you have to go and do that, (shoots him in the arm) now shutup. (cut to med bay) Wendy: NATHAN! Ortiz: what? He’s on the bridge. Sector F was a flase alarm wendy: we gotta save him, he’s going to die!

(jenna’s laughing) Wendy: Set up a vidlink from med bay, I’ll get a med unit.

Officers and lucas: Jenna McCall UEO#1: She has overrided all systems, we have men at every door, you need to open them UEO#2:break her codes. (lucas nods, cut to Bridge) Ford: do something! He’s going to bleed to death unless you help him (henderson begins to stir, Jenna walks over and hits her with the butt of her gun,) Oneal: Lonnie!
