Everyday is relatively the same day until you realize your potential energy. Einstein was once quoted as saying "I am not a thief."... or was it Nixon who coined that line? I'm not sure if the inaccurate statement of my former sentencing is more truth than most people would like to know about. I wonder too, if Einstein was in fact, nothing more than an over educated, patent office clerk. ~based on actual events

1.INT. CONFERENCE CENTER AUDITORIUM — EARLY
Scene opens towards the end of conference. Large screen plays with footage of Departure point and spheres coming together to launch transport vessel. Shows a smaller modern barge approaching with Intertrax advertisements across it in a band of writing. Speaker is at podium, onstage — camera pans out and audience notices that the space scene is on large screen behind convention center stage.
Dark space with milky way in background as well as planets the size of a coin at arms distance appear on the gigantic convention center screen. Along with Departure space station which is a large sphere in —

2.EXT. SOLAR SYSTEM — JUPITER'S ORBIT
As speaker speaks, a ship on screen passes over as hundreds of spheres of various sizes begin locking in on the transport ship and begin forming the transport departure tunnel, where electromotive forces discharge the transport ship to its next jump point or —
Before the transport can make the launch, hundreds of spheres detach from the rear of the tunnel and are launched before the transport. These spheres will form the second tunnel that accelerates the ship to over 400,000k/ph. The spheres being accelerated before the ship form the next launch tunnel using each others mass as gravity points to lock onto.
The transport enters the first set of launch spheres and is —
POV from cockpit of transport
Shows noticeable acceleration due to space relay station and Jupiter in the background. Upcoming is the next set of spheres in concentric rings set to accelerate the ship again. These are the same spheres that were launched through the array just before the transport ship.

As she is speaking of the Jupiter Extraction colonies they are illuminated and zoomed in on, as she speaks of the Uranus and Saturn Lines they are set to blink and zoomed in upon. [CGI animation]
Woman at Podium
"The new power source mines will deliver enough energy to safely break R-278 and R-527 from their gravitational lock in the Kuiper belt and transfer them safely to their new orbit between Saturn and Uranus where deconstruction will begin.

Enter MALE SPEAKER to —
Male Speaker
"The current system is capable of transporting materials from Jupiter's orbit to earth in under 6 weeks, and a whopping 8 weeks to make it to Paradise."
Woman continues
"It was a 6 month trip once every 3 years up until 2 months ago. The asteroids originally from inside Jupiter that are now being harvested are rich in ruby, black diamond, purple diamond, orange diamond, and sapphire gem among other precious and semiprecious metals and —"
Male Speaker
"The hydrogen explosion under the surface which caused the great red storm by continuous release of fumes from Jupiter's cracked crust and mantle are what made the debris field around Jupiter and in its forward and aft wakes. The chunks that are being harvested range in size from small moons to small cities. With 4 stations in Jupiter's orbit there are 4 times a Rotation that matter can be broken free from Jupiter gravitational pull and transferred or processed there outside the space sphere."
As woman speaks about incident that caused the debris fields and the Great Storm of Jupiter the screen is showing ancient explosion that caused debris field around Jupiter and cause of Red storm on Jupiter which was a purple colored planet before it blew and released gasses from inside. The diagram of explosion is shown in a monochromatic holograph on screen then sets back into hyper-realism when —

Screen Ultra Wide Angle zooms in on asteroid — shows it is a large composition of gemstone being cut into 100,000 ton blocks and quarried there with mining stations set up on the asteroid. Sparks are seen very small from a distance, people working are still specs and indistinguishable from the distance viewed from, mini transports are seen escorting a quarried 100,000 ton block to the transport module as other motions continue.

5.EXT. OUTSIDE OF VENUS — MILITARY
The two inner planets mercury and Venus now have a host of space spheres in orbit around them and also a ring of spheres being built between mercury and Venus which orbit the sun. Its known as Paradise belt, all of the spheres are inhabited or will be inhabited by humans as well as farm and wildlife habitations. The tourist seasons are very busy in the varied climate environment spheres which are larger themselves than New York.
Camera pans right and Venus is in the foreground rather large — 1/3 of the screen is covered and it hangs off the right side of the screen and the right side and bottom of the planet are not in the panorama view. A Space sphere is under construction as others in the scene orbiting Venus are completed.

A well built and odd looking, Caucasian, dressed in night clothing, the neon and phosphorous glow of the signage lights accented by the argon and boron and xenon lighting reflects off his shimmering parts, face, glasses and hat are drawn out with neon and phosphorous profile lighting. He stares into the window of the door, of the bars front entrance.
Camera angle switch to over the shoulder view of the bar inside with bartender and then focus on his own reflection in glass. He follows his gaze inside by pushing the door open and walking —
The city is a modern city design by today's comparison, which much resembles a very vertical Hong Kong or Times Square but most walls are white to reflect light. The city is built in hundred foot levels with new roadways and buildings situated on each level. Some super structures run from the ground floor all the way up through the top levels and crescendo a mile high using the city's common support system. The common structural city is a cross between privatized land and a single structure of order, with a city built in levels. Towers resembling resistors and diodes and other electrical components rising upwards of 1 mile into the heavens. The city is built with the look of 1970's circuitry resembling the interior hardware and lines of communication of a computer of today's time. The spires and towers and other tall structures highlighted with the familiar purple hue of the electricity burn-off units of glowing purple lightning behind glass rise into the evening sky. The purple glowing decorative units are used as decoration and hold function for excess power burn-off on the main grid, a network of streets, bridges, passages, tunnels and city structures rising high in 100 foot levels with the buildings, peaks and towers that comprise the city of OHM rising above —
— Page 14 —
A network of structures and passages powered on a main grid with an uncountable numbers of publicly and privately owned energy gen devices powering all. The city sits in 4 parts that are unconnected by hundreds of miles each with almost nothing but nature in between. The city has a population of approximately 50 million inhabitants in each part but occupies the same amount of land as the old city of Las Vegas. After the resistance retook the USA, the Los Angeles and San Diego water systems were dug in reverse sending water rushing inland where it is separated using the desert sun and evaporation beds then recondensed salt free water drips down the sides of the domed evaporation beds and is channeled into purification systems. Most of the sea-salt is used for computer parts or returned to the ocean with the other nutrients left behind in the evaporation beds. The conditions are cramped except for the higher levels where clearance is required to enter. The motel is only 2 stories but is located 1800 feet above crown on level G, the same level that Nixon's bar is located across from the convention center. which occupies an additional 200 floors straight up and shares space with other civil —
The camera pans up towards the night sky and shows the sky bridges connecting towers and streets. This area unlike other districts has few electric billboards, and most of the advertisement is of the small business owners own signage along with attorney and other professional offices and departments. The district the civic center in lies in is primarily government offices, agencies and government administration personnel. Central district as it is known is the "desk" of governance in this 50 million person quad of —

RELAY OUTPOST INTERTRAX — MARS
The electromagnetic relay satellites use each others weight and mass for mobility and can "inchworm" themselves all the way back to earth if needed, by using repulsive and attractive forces the satellites move as a snake would with no designated head, tail or body, all the spheres using each other to slingshot ahead, turn or brake. The speed for the consecutive rings is gained from the satellite spheres being shot ahead of the transport vessel and establishing the forthcoming tunnels that propel the spacecraft faster.
This is needed to align themselves with incoming transport modules enabling them to shoot the transport through the next jump point or object and on to its destination. To slow to entry speed the shuttle must orbit earth several times. When mars is not in position to slow the craft. The satellite spheres and main base (also a sphere) calibrate the shuttles departure.
F.Y.I. — Sphere is the easiest shape to sustain an orbit without reliance on propulsion for correction measures and is used often in the solar system.
THEY ARE HEADED TO THE MOON, TONS OF PEOPLE. OVER A BILLION PEOPLE LIVE ON THE MOON.
A satellite sphere comes between the camera and the ship as the tunnels rings alignment takes place, followed by numerous others in snake style and the last one gets slung into position first and the others follow where in the second to last is now the second from first and so forth. They meet up with the rest already in formation by hurling each other with magnetic force, sounds reminiscent of an old starter of a car not turning over [not that exact sound but close to it] can be heard apparently from the working of the spheres. Hundreds of multi sized spheres come together to form a tunnel which is seen through the cockpit window.
Camera Shot of main base with thousands of spheres around it, in areas the spheres are detaching and joining the departure swarm. This vessel is small and many spheres are not used for its departure. Parts of the main base are filled with them and other parts where the spheres that are being used were show the base behind it.
This particular load was mined from a piece of a large asteroid the size of New York city that was extracted from the Main asteroid belt and mined while inhabited between Jupiter and Saturn's orbits where it was relocated. Part of it was blasted off and stolen by bandits before the outpost was built to mine it. The trading post is rugged and unsafe on the asteroid but the tax and transport fees are too high. Marmazul hired them for this job and for discretion. RUSSEL is a smuggler and so is GREGOR. They get paid very well for smuggling. Venus has limited mining and people caught mining illegally will be imprisoned so reliance comes from the main asteroid belt and the outer clouds for materials. This is large transport/smuggler ship.

TRADING PIT OHM
Introduction of James, Christine, Thomas, and Freddy. Golden glove champ James, burly in late forties. Heavy but solid. Christine attractive 20-something, trade execution. Thomas a stock and bond booth operator that takes street sales for JAMES (BOSS) the trader. Freddy is a ticket window clerk on the main floor.
With the increase in stylish metals being used as currency and being worn in disc like watch looking accessories to outfits or pendants, broaches or just old fashioned money pouches and change pockets. The metal currency pieces are in concentric circles and the pieces of currency occupy lengths of each ring, I.E. the longer the length of a piece the more metal comprises it. A smaller ring in the ring concentricity would have smaller mass of a larger ring in concentric order. Solid coins of rarer materials without ring segments are the most valued due to extraterrestrial mining, trading posts and business off of earth and metals being the source of these outlanders lives. Physical trading markets of onsite purchase of stocks bonds commodities and the like has been made possible along with financial windows where one can buy stocks and bonds and other financial products much as one would buy a lotto ticket of today. The markets exist in most countries on earth along with 3 in the solar system. Currency purity test devices are very common and used the same as cc machines and mobile payment systems are used today. The devices tell the percentage of metals in the pieces. Small handheld device where metal is placed in and scanned. Reading displayed on screen or cast or however is displayed from metal reader.

THE MAIN TRADING FLOOR IS CIRCULAR WITH SALES WINDOWS RUNNING AROUND THAT CONNECT TO THE PUBLIC STREETS WHERE PEDESTRIANS CAN PURCHASE STOCKS AND — Behind the trader is the window and clients walking by as well as other city residents and visitor alike. This trading platform is built in the middle of a main transit hub and shopping hive in the city and where inter-connecting intercity lines arrive and depart from as well as inner-city and city peripheral transit systems. Along with shopping vertically and horizontally surrounding it. The exterior is not as bright as the upper levels but still offers daytime light to some capacity.
The walls are usually painted in reflective white paint to bounce light through the structure, or light emitting paints. Even with the technologies to bring in light the ground floor still becomes very dark at times. This market platform is situated 5 floors above ground and employs over 5000 people inside the windows and tunnels that connect to satellite windows a few blocks away in multiple directions, much like a financial trap-door hive of stock and bond tickets for instant purchase with cash or otherwise. The windows also handle currency conversion and loans on jewelry seen in advertisements and transfer rate percentage rate menus.
The city has betting booths much the same but without a central hive and tunnels, most bookies are just as today's and small betting machines are sometimes accompanied when the window is located in a storefront as opposed to others that are located directly on the street.
Camera sped up through tunnels to windows where financial are traded. Views of tunnels workings steps, pipes, vents are seen sporadic, sometimes ladders are used for passage. Panels of information for workers of mall area are seen glowing and blinking. Ladders sometimes used for vertical ascension or descent. The camera going through the tunnels to different windows should be sped up x3 or more and stall out at various windows. Where the speed would decrease or increase at a rate of a visual smoke bomb going off in comparison. When the camera slows the time line is curved. Where the initial smoke released is minor in comparison to frame area but as time progresses the smoke overcomes in varied time vs area, then speed that up to half a second. [time transition grading in editing] Various single passenger lifts are seen up close as well.

CRANE AND CONVERSATION VIEWS — The market is in a rally of upward progression with new shipping lines opening to harvest a passerby asteroid of substantial composition. The yield is set for construction of new space sphere for habitation in orbit between Venus and mercury. The harvesting of solar energy and heat energy is reliable and easily attainable and private companies have moved their intentions there through a plan of organization.
I am [insert name], an artificial intelligent multi core processing composition of parts. I help in the preservation of our technologies and programs that were saved years earlier from being destroyed by the in-place system of the "death of intellectualism" method of social, governmental and corporate behaviour. And the ongoing wars on public archives of all types of media physical and virtual. I have function.
AI has been abandoned and replaced with robotics and mechanics using the person as the processor. While AI is outlawed, computer thinking in society does occur from pirate computers and networks interlinked through disguise of parts and a secret society that keeps the AI alive. A few of the computer minds have hid in various places and have fabricated themselves with robotics factories they infiltrated through communication lines then into robotics assembly devices. It is believed that over 12 x 12 of these independent computer minds are in existence throughout the solar system. It is believed that some have robotic bodies, some have inhabited star fortresses in the past and other highly volatile systems. Although most are believed to be held by members of the society that protects them.
ENTER CONVERSATION WITH WORKERS — VACATION IN THE GULF. FREDDY COMES FROM WINDOW TO GIVE ORDER. ENTER CONVERSATION. THOMAS IS LISTENING TO THEM ON HIS HEADSET. JAMES NOTICES THE COM LINK IS ON.
