Episode One
Golden Opportunity
Scene One
Outside the White House, Dr. Edgar Flood and an unknown man are seen walking around. The Unknown man stops and says something to the Doctor and they head inside. They begin walking down the hallway until they reach a door. The unknown man opens the door and it's the president's office. The man and the Doctor walk inside. The man sits down behind the desk while Dr. Edgar Flood begins pacing back and forth.
?? "Stop pacing Dr. Flood. Everything will be fine. We'll figure out some way to make this happen."
Dr. Edgar Flood stops pacing and looks at the man and smiles.
Dr. Edgar Flood "I'm sure in time we could Mr. President, but this can't wait, you see the longer we wait the better chance that more statistics come in that say Mars isn't deemed safe. We need to take this chance. I would ask a professional to do it but the risks are too high."
President "I understand Doctor but what am I suppose to do? Risk the life of a Citizen? I simply can't do that."
Dr. Edgar Flood "What if you called a news conference and told everyone the danger they could be in but also tell them that if the mission is a success they'd be a hero. Have them decide if they would want to do this or not."
The President sighs and nods before picking up the phone and dialing a number.
President "Call every news outlet you can get a hold of. I want to talk to the public."

Scene Two
A car pulls up to a house and out steps James Ryland. He shuts the door and begins walking towards the front door. The door flies open and his wife Molly Ryland comes running out and hugs him. James smiles and kisses her before walking inside. She follows and closes the door. Molly goes straight for the kitchen and opens the fridge.
Molly Ryland "James, you must be hungry what do you want for dinner?"
James walks into the kitchen and sits down at the table.
James Ryland "It doesn't matter babe just something spicy."
Molly Ryland "Alright why don't you grab a beer and go watch some TV. I'm sure that the one thing you missed more than me was the TV"
James laughs and stands up before heading to the fridge he slides his hand past Molly who's still standing in front of the fridge. He grabs a beer and walks into the living room. He grabs the remote and sits down. James turns on the TV and starts flipping through the channels until he reaches the news channel which reads "The President has called for a press conference." James turns up the volume and opens his beer before taking a sup.
Tina Torres "Ladies and Gentlemen, President Chris Ross has called a press conference to talk to the American people. We don't know what about but it must be important. Speaking of which the Press Conference is able to start."
The channel then switches to it's cameras in the White House as President Chris Ross makes his way to the podium. Molly walks in and sits down next to James.
President Chris Ross People of America, I have called this Press Conference because there is an important matter that I need your help with. Recently Mars has been deemed safe to explore but whether it's completely safe is beyond me or our best scientist. Which is why we don't want to send a professional, so I'm asking that if you can look past the risks of the trip and think about the reward which is simple, You'll be considered a hero. Then call this number and a person will answer, ask you a few questions and then the lead scientist of this project Dr. Edgar Flood will examine EVERY application and decide who is best suited for the job. Thank you and enjoy the rest of you day.
Tina Torres "Wow the President just asked for people to take a trip to space? In my opinion if you're even thinking about this you're crazy."
Molly looks at James who's locked in on the TV and sighs.
Molly Ryland "You want to sign up don't you?"
James Ryland "Yes I do."
Molly Ryland "Why? You just came back to me. I spent TWO years wondering if you'd ever come back from the war and now that you have you want to leave me AGAIN!?"
James Ryland "It's not like that, I love you it's just that my father always wanted to go to space but he never got the chance. I want to do this for him."
Molly Ryland "Why do you have to be so damn sweet? Fine sign up in the morning. Tonight you're mine."
James Rylan "I'm fine with that!"
James stands up before asking for Molly's hands. She gives them to him and he pulls her up. James then picks her up and kisses her before walking to the bedroom. Molly laughs as James closes the door behind them.

Scene Three
Back in D.C. at the NASA Headquarters, Dr. Flood and and his team are going over the applications that have been submitted. Dr. Flood's assistant who everyone calls Rocket calls the doctor over and shows him a folder.
Dr. Edgar Flood "Hmm, James Ryland. A Marine who just got done serving in the war. Who wants to go to space because it was his father's dream. Good work Rocket. Add him to the board and we'll make our decision once we get through all these applications.
Dr. Flood and his team spend hours going through the rest of the applications. Once finished He and his team walk over to the board which has the top three best candidates.
Rocket "Okay Doctor this is what we're looking at. Megan Fisher, the daughter of Mayor Fisher. She wants to go on the trip because she wants to break out of her father's shadow. Next we have James Ryland, a Marine who served in the war for two years. He was just sent home and he wants to go because it was his father's dream to go to space. Lastly we have Todd Adams he an american scientist working in China and everyone who knows his work says that he's one of the best at what he does."
Dr. Edgar Flood "The Mayor would flip if his daughter was chosen so take her off. If Adams is one of the best scientist around then it would be better if he stayed her on Earth and continued his work. So by process of Elimination James Ryland is going to space. Rocket called Ms. Parks and tell her to write a letter to Ryland letting him know of our decision."
Rocket nods and walks out of the door.
