Episode 1: Scene 10

SCENE 10

INT – UTOPIAN: MORTAL SPHERE: JETTI’S DWELLING

The camera cuts to the future. A streak of white light, like a sparkler’s light trail, travels speedily left to right along the bottom of the screen and brands the date 19T^26GPR [Year 999] in the bottom right hand corner. Jetti’s fingers linger on the Avider microphone switch in the off position. The distortion clears.

RadianLX (presently clear):

“...detection”

The quiet hum and digital sounds of the dwelling systems are tranquil and resonant. Jetti slowly exhales, settling internalized tension.

Jetti (with mild anticipation):

“They’re here.”

As Jetti stands, she reaches across her sling bag to push her Lumzargo, half full of Lumz, back into a pocket that it had slid out of and sets her bag upright. She walks to the entrance to open the door. Instantly she sees Regent High Trainer Zelyvry and Regent High Counselor Lyra approaching. Zelyvry is seen holding a file folder. Her stride displays purpose and her sharper pace offsets Lyra's. Her posture portrays seriousness. Her eyes are focused ahead, mirroring her subtle yet resolute smile, which reflects a quiet satisfaction paired with relishing anticipation. Battle-hardened resolve of a seasoned trainer. Lyra approaches a half step slower, with a clearly contrasting steady and graceful glide. Her posture portrays firm compassion. Both exude distinctly different energy as they walk in tandem toward Jetti. Jetti greets them both with the hierarchy salute complete with a head nod. Her trainer and counselor salute back without the head nod.

Regent High Trainer Zelyvry (maintaining her facial expression):

“Jetti. I've been waiting this time to speak with you”

Jetti sheepishly smiles and nods. Lyra, now stepping close and touching Jetti's forearms, tilts her head subtly to the side emphasizing her endearing emotions.

Regent High Counselor Lyra (with gentleness):

“Jetti. It's always a pleasure to be in your company.”

Jetti (gesturing to the living space):

“Thank you, please come in.”

The camera reveals the entire space, showcasing a cozy living area with long, narrow Brazilian Teak Hazel hardwood flooring, complemented by a matching center panel running the length of the ceiling. Three rounded-corner rectangular windows span the height of each capsule-shaped side wall, transitioning seamlessly into the flat ceiling. At the far end of the room, an expansive circular window stretches from floor to ceiling and spans the full width of the wall, offering a relaxing view of the exterior landscaping. Soft, glowing light outlines the ceiling, enhanced by flush, built-in lighting that creates a warm ambiance. The room features a gold-trimmed medium grey leather sofa and a matching chair directly across from it. A complementing shaggy rug lies beneath a gold-trimmed oval wood coffee table at the center of the room. A FlareVox, off to the left of the PKD unit complete the space, blending futuristic sophistication with the warmth of a modern lodge.

The three walk over to the seating area. Jetti sits on the couch, Lyra sits next to Jetti and Zelyvry sits in a chair across from them. Jetti's posture is relaxed, though there’s a subtle tension in the air, as if she’s been anticipating the conversation; not knowing what the meeting is about. Zelyvry hands the envelope to Jetti. Jetti opens the file folder and begins to silently read it with her eyes.

Regent High Trainer Zelyvry (with a debriefing tone):

“The Supreme Regent is calling for trained Zealums to assist on Earth. There is a need for extra strengthening among the people. Mortals are able to connect and impact other mortals in unique ways. Zealums will help provide discernment, encouragement, and a succouring protection to others on Earth. The second page outlines the prearranged details.”

Jetti flips the first page face down on the left side of the folder and peers upon the next as Zelyvry continues.

Regent High Trainer Zelyvry (with a debriefing tone):

“Instead of a Regent Adaptionor, I, your Regent Trainer, would accompany you and oversee your assignments.”

Jetti (discretely revealing internal conflict):

“I believe there are others more qualified. Maybe they’d be better suited for this assignment.”

Regent High Trainer Zelyvry (with a pleased, confident tone, her words firm and confirming):

“You are one of the top trained individuals we have. You have also been trained with the lumenry and are of the few who have also completed Earth-based training. Do you recall this?”

Jetti (faintly showing bitter internal conflict):

“Yes, and I recall the rain also. When it's really hot it also feels like it’s raining?”

Regent High Trainer Zelyvry (with firm admonition):

“Those infamous bitter distractions will hinder you.”

Jetti (sheepishly while looking away):

“I'm sorry.”

Jetti looks back to Lyra. Lyra’s eyes lock with Jetti's; her palpable energy permeates Jetti's aura with a cherishing embrace, while her affectionate smirk silently conveying a mutual knowing, as if to say, 'There’s no need to say a word; you already know.'

Regent High Trainer Zelyvry (calm, serious, and direct):

“We all trust that your training has prepared you to not only withstand the trials, but to be an influence when the prophecy is unsealed.”

Jetti (acknowledging with serious expression and a nod):

“I understand.”

Zelyvry stands up in preparation to leave.

Regent High Counselor Lyra (assuring):

“You still have the choice in what's been arranged for you.”

Lyra stands up and Jetti does the same.

Regent High Trainer Zelyvry (to Lyra, sensing a moment of time is needed between her and Jetti):

“I will leave you two to finish up.”

With the same stride Zelyvry walked in with, she now walks out with. Lyra turns to walk towards the front entrance. Jetti trails behind. Upon reaching the threshold, Lyra takes one more step outside and Jetti comes to a standstill. Lyra gracefully turns back to face Jetti. Jetti stands with her arms bent at her elbows and tucked close to her body. Her thumbs and index fingers remain still, clasped together.

Lyra reaches out and touches Jetti's forearms.

High Regent Counselor Lyra (a reflective lesson softly spoken with a mid-way pause):

“I didn't always have immortality and while you have immortality within you, you will not always have mortality.”

High Regent Counselor Lyra (slowly gently tapping on Jetti's forearms):

“It is written, For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.”

Jetti nods in agreement and looks down at her fingers, which are still clasped together. Lyra slightly bends to meet her eyes with Jetti's, while gently holding Jetti's forearms. Simultaneously, Jetti keeps her head down and lifts her eyes to meet Lyra's. Lyra continues.

High Regent Counselor Lyra (a gentle earnest reminder with an airy emphasis):

“Remember, “No weapon that is formed against you shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against you in judgment you shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.”

Lyra pauses and holds a loving smile. They both lift their heads. Lyra stands upright and lets go of Jetti's forearms as Jetti separates her fingers and lifts one of her hands to wipe a tear away. She takes a moment to process what she heard.

Jetti (gratefully):

“Thank you. I needed that reminder.”

High Regent Counselor Lyra (nodding in agreement):

“The Supreme knows everything you need and he will strengthen you. Now please try to get some rest.”

Jetti (Prefacing with a sigh of relief):

“Ok.”

With one last cherishing look, Lyra turns, takes a few steps, and begins phositioning. Jetti watches as Lyra leaves.
