FADE IN.
We open inside the window of a shop. A couple dusty toys are on display, but there’s a shiny, new ninja robot in the center of them all, with all kinds of buttons to do different actions.
A small girl with short, unruly black hair peeks into the window, gasping with joy when she sees the toy is still in stock.

CUT TO CRAWFISH, sitting in the medical ward. He’s taking a close look at pretty much every item in sight as the doctors try to corral him to the table.
CRAWFISH
What’s this? Why do you have so many hollow ropes?
DOCTOR #1
They’re just tubes, ignore those they’re not–
CRAWFISH
Why are all of you wearing white? Don’t’cha think a darker color would be better with all the mess?
DOCTOR #2
It helps us notice any stains, now–
CRAWIFSH
Yea, that’s my point. You can simply hide it!
The DOCTORS all grimace.

FADE IN.
We open on a wide shot displaying Erewhon Prison. It’s a rare non-stormy day, where bits of sunlight can actually be seen through the fog. The island is in perpetual shadow, but you can just barely tell it’s afternoon.
CUT TO inside the prison, on the first floor near the doors. Only a couple guards are stationed there, one sleeping and the other playing a game of solitaire on a work computer.
The camera heads to the elevator, then speeds up the building. We at last arrive at Floor 13, where a guard is leading DR. HARE into the medical and testing side. The doors to JUPITER’S strange machinery remain closed and locked.

CUT TO BARD standing alone in an elevator. A quick look at a camera shows he somehow bent it away from the corner he’s in.
As the elevator descends, time appears to slow a bit. BARD’S face turns more serious and contemplative, as he flexes his robotic hand a couple of times, studying how the joints move and react to his nerve signals. He’s gotten used to seeing it constantly for years, but sometimes he still has to notice the difference from what used to be there.
A plastic cup is spilled on the floor next to him, with soda and ice cubes leaking out. He picks up an ice cube in his left hand, his human hand, and holds it for a moment, feeling the cold. He switches it to his right, and keeps it pinched between his fingers with no discomfort.
BARD
(under his breath)
There are some things I’ve yet to learn to replicate.

CUT TO HARE at the door of the lunchroom. The guards take off his handcuffs, release him, and quickly slam the door. HARE starts walking across cautiously, but quickly takes on his unbothered facade.
HARE
Morning El Mustachio. I see they haven’t got you to shave that off yet.
(Con’t)
Morning Gretchen. You seem as pleasant as ever, mind if I take that?
(He snatches one of GRETCHEN’S carrots before she can even start yelling)
Ugh, everything tastes like hand sanitizer here.
The door opens again, and in comes RINGMASTER RAVEN. He hides near the wall, ignoring the gazes of the other prisoners.
