be hostiles.
ALEC
We've got a dozen Neutrino Drives ready
to blow them out of the sky if necessary.
JEREMY
There are millions of Kek already on
Earth but they're just vicious animals.
If these ships are filled with
intelligent spacefaring Kek, who knows
what they could teach these animals.
ALEC
We've been over this a hundred times,
Jeremy. We've got it covered.
JEREMY
We may have our own Kek ships to worry
about once we reach your four-armed
friend's homeworld. We may have to turn
around and head back to Earth as soon as
we get there.
ALEC
Who knows, maybe you'll return in eighty
six years and I'll be as old as you.
JEREMY
That would be a great day, my friend.
ALEC
I got a glimpse of Piren's planet. Pretty
cool. Lots of water. There's even a small
moon sitting on the surface.
JEREMY
That does sound cool.
ALEC
I must admit, if you hadn't stolen the
crystal from me, none of this would've
been possible. It seems that the whole
point of my encounter back in 2018 was to
deliver the neutrino engine technology to
this point in time. But since the
government now has possession of my
engine...well, you know what I mean.
JEREMY
I do indeed. My sin is your gain. Don't
let that Book of Alec nonsense go to your
head, you're already one of the most
powerful men in the world.
ALEC
I'll do my best. I think I'm gonna like
this job.
INT. CUSTOMIZED SHUTTLE - EARTH ORBIT
Alec is looking through a window.
A large multi-module ship floats nearby. External lights begin powering on all across it.
Moments later, it accelerates at impossible speed toward the constellation Eridanus.
Alec speaks to an unseen occupant in the shuttle.
ALEC
I can't believe you found me after all
these years. I appreciate all you went
through to get here. Microcore is mine
now. I can't imagine a greater gift to
come home to. Now, let's go take out
those Kek ships.
Alec looks across the cabin. Pops a thumbs-up.
Piren looks back. He mimic's Alec's gesture, raising all four thumbs in the air.
EXT. SPACE
The Earth-moon system can be seen in the
