This was my first script. It is silly. Two scientists find themselves up against a paranoid rouge Air Force General who wants to use alien viruses recovered from a downed UFO to destroy all of America's enemies. (I wrote this in the year 2000 - Back then all we were worried about was Y2K.) I let out all the stops in this one. I used all the conspiracy theories I could find and wove them all into one story. The star character though is Lieutenant Jack Darling, who at first is antagonistic to the two scientists, but in the end it turns out they couldn't do anything without him. One of the best comments I received about this story is that I didn't use any of the old clichéd methods of how the heroes are supposed to get the job done. They twist and turn and doubt all the way through. Jack's humor sustains them.
I did use one cliché, however. They all walk off into the sunset in the end. Turns out they had no other way to go.
I would love it if you would support this story.
