Sample Scene written by Damon Day Address Phone E-mail Scene 1: Law and Order. Floating in a chamber of clear liquid is a blue skinned woman, covered in bandages with a large scar across her center. A droid missing its lower half sits in a corner. DROID Query: Why did you do this Paladin Macha? Across from the floating woman is another woman, dressed in fine robes with a deactivated plasma sword at her waist. She has short black hair, with a scar across her left cheek. MACHA I just don't want to be charged with murder, Galileo. GALILEO Statement: Ambrosia is a rare and valuable healing substance, are you sure that-MACHA Yes, I'm sure! Macha runs a hand across her face as she starts to pace. MACHA (CONT'D) And, if I do this, and she comes back to life, then my file won't have a murder on it? GALILEO Statement: Correct. MACHA You know, for a navigation droid, you sure seem to know a lot about legal stuff. GALILEO Observation: and you are good at committing murder. MACHA She's a Dark Blade! I'm a Paladin of Order! Its what I was taught to do! GALILEO Statement: Yet, murder is still murder. 2. MACHA I know, I just...I thought it would be okay. You know, honorable. GALILEO Mocking statement: Ah yes, the act of gutting someone with a blade of ionized plasma is indeed 'honorable.' Macha hangs her head. MACHA I just...I was operating on limited knowledge. GALILEO Statement: Yet, your first choice was violence. Macha throws her hands up in annoyance, and starts to pace. MACHA Look, I didn't know that she wasn't a criminal! I was taught that anyone who used the the Current like she did--does--was an agent of chaos! Galileo says nothing, and the medical chamber flashes green. GALILEO Alarm: Subject Bice Starwind is alive. The liquid drains, and Bice is slowly lowered to the ground. On reflex, she curls into a ball. BICE Mhmh....why does it feel like my guts were used as barbecue? She holds her head and slowly looks upward. She has bright red eyes. MACHA ...Hi! I'm the one who killed you. Bice stares at Macha, then passes out again. MACHA (CONT'D) Yeah, that's fair.
