[feature] The story of Jehovah's arrival on Earth, with Adam and Eve and their life in an Eden kindergarten, tells a plausible beginning of modern scientifically advancing society, of what actually happened on Earth about 3670 BC, north of the Persian Gulf. (Choreographed to music)

[Music specified in this screenplay is the Strategic Director's selection from hundreds of CD's of existing works by artists whose timbre and lyrics fit each onscreen activity, and is not otherwise representative of projects Sesquatercet and its purposes or 'lambhorn' Scientific Scriptural exegeses]

PRELUDES AND FANFARE: (music - Storms in Africa II/Enya - 02:59 "marquee") (music - Watermark/Enya - 02:24 "admissions") (music - Cursum Perficio/Enya - 04:06 "reception") (music - The Longships/Enya - 03:36 "introduction") (music - Discovery/Tesh - 04:01 "fanfare") SUPERIMPOSE FOREWORD water-blue on black: Accurate portrayal being paramount to good story telling, the reasonable attempts have been made to secure the plausible redaction of Scripture: Correlations of source text and archaeological dating leave tentative deductions; We've chosen the better fit in each instance. Contemporary dangers in the region render impracticable to arrive at other conclusion. - the Trustee for project 'lambhorn' FADE IN: EXT.

STUDY CUBICLE - FAINT RED LIT (8000 YEARS LATER) (CU) A flat video wide-screen REFLECTION OF spacer boy ADAM AT 2 (REFL) watching AN ANIMATION of solar system planetary creation; Mr. GABRIEL (VO), small senior muscle, narrates: SUPERIMPOSE: 8000 YEARS LATER [GABE] (VO) (reads aloud) VIDEO TITLE: Chapter One: Living Planet Genesis; Time-scale: Seventh-order, cycling. ANIMATED: Flattened pre-solar nebula glowing in Bode-bands; blazing planet-quadruplets, co-orbiting, coalesce to twins; a few asteroids collide, flashing light that echoes abroad; [GABE] (VO) We begin at this condensed planet spinning through the dusty nebula orbiting its central sun not yet lit to star-brightness … Only the Spirit of God watches. ANIMATED: Dark spinning planet, continual meteor storm adds dim glow; occasional fireballs streak across; [GABE] (VO) This planet has removed to an orbit far from its pair-mate and begun to cool in cloudy darkness … Rocks and dust still crash onto the planet. ANIMATED: Tempest winds scour boiling-water seas covering glimmering magma flows; [GABE] (VO) Deep water covers its crusty lava and boils-away heat into scouring winds, high into its atmosphere … Lavas still glimmer below. ANIMATED: Red sky light blooms to a bright-dim day-cycle; [GABE] (VO) As the faraway sun ignites to star fire, its suffuse light illumines the thinning nebula blanketing the spinning planet with its first day light … Lighter and darker are the first type of day; and God counts this improvement, Good. ANIMATED: Tempest-winds subside to a global rain storm beneath back-lit cloudy reddish haze mottling the sky; [GABE] (VO) As the planet cools, its atmosphere slows to let vapor gather as clouds precipitating rain water, cleansing the air for vegetation to breathe … And God counts this, improvement, Good; This is the second day-type. ANIMATED: Magmas harden, crack, weathering into fine dusty soils, green vegetation proliferates, blackish in reddish-orange sky-glow; [GABE] (VO) Cycles of sunlight, warmth, and wet and dry, accelerate the microscopic crumbling of hardened lava rock, to gravel, sand, dust, soil, clay, and dirty seawater,- greatly increasing its availability to microbiological slime and mold developments,- which also increase the crumbling. Larger vegetations luxuriate and the third day-type is dominated by sightless, greenish land-plants basking in the reddish-orange daylight, making the air good for animals and mankind. ANIMATED: Sky clears to day and night, to detect the sun's spot, moons; distant planets, colored stars at night: The mountains are patched with snow; [GABE] (VO) While vegetation and tiny insects develop and flourish on the planet, in its air and its seas, the nebula blanketing the planet clarifies to let direct light show the spots of the sun and moon and other planets, and stars, in their colors.… Nights and winters and pole regions become colder; climates specialise. Larger plants, that grow fruits to nurture their own seeds, develop … On this fourth type of day the point of seeing and science becomes good. ANIMATED: Fish swimming, jumping … then add fowl flying; [GABE] (VO) As animals develop and specie-fy in the buoyant water seas, they follow the changing seasonal direction and currents flowing around the planet: These are the first fish; And from these, lighter-weight birds develop flying by flapping the less-buoyant air … And day-type Five, is good. ANIMATED: Cattle, sheep, roaming, lion resting, aboriginal idyllic mankind walking; [GABE] (VO) Land-creatures, including mankind, dominate the planet and its seas in day-type Six. This is the finale of known life-soul manifestations on living planets, but mankind needs a further distinction from the animal creatures.… ADD TRANSLUCENT SPOT-OVERLAY of [Gabe] face: [GABE] We put aside this idyllic scenery to understand generic man and his ascendency over all the planet and its seas and skies and outer space around: It is also to be seen and counted, Good, and felt constantly: It is the altitude, the orbit, the vantage of thought watching calmly confidently with God: It restfully sees all good unfolded undiminished before it contemplates point, line, place.… This elevation of authority brings us to eye our present day-type, the Seventh, and its ultimate conclusion in your responsibilities here and wherever you count good.… ADD TRANSLUCENT SPOT-OVERLAYS of individual [STUDENTS] faces at 2-4 years; Adam sees his own video-echo: [GABE] Adam, you may ask a question. [ADAM]+ADAM (REFL) Can people go outside a planet? in their spacesuits? [GABE] Planets are bigger, so they don't have to; but they can. [STUDENT#2] Will we visit a planet to see these development phases? [GABE] Most planets are finished;- We will visit a sixth-day planet. [STUDENT#3] What is soil like? Do we have any in the laboratory stores? [GABE] Soil is like your toy-modeling clay. [STUDENT#4] What do planet-people do during the nighttime of day? [GABE] The same as you do when you turn-off the lights, and sleep. [STUDENT#5] Why don't we have animals in our spacecruiser? [GABE] Animal communities do not fit in spacecruisers; And do not need to: They will already be on any planet we will visit. [STUDENT#6] How many planets are there orbiting a sun? [GABE] Each sun may have several pairs of planets, and some, smaller suns. [STUDENT#7] Are all day-type-six planets inhabited by men? PULL-BACK TO (MCU) real Adam in his plush study-cubicle: [GABE] One or two, sometimes three planets at each sun, are just right for us. ADAM+[ADAM] Can planet-people see us? Where are they going? [GABE] Only when we come near or visit them: Then they follow us. FADE TO: INT. SPACER BOY CHILD'S BEDROOM - LOW LIT ROOM LIGHT AUTO-DIMS while Mommy TFNI, small pretty senior, tucks-in Adam; exotic stuffed animal-shape toys abound. TFNI And what was the inspiring class discussion today? ADAM We learned about seven day-types phases in living-planet genesis. TFNI Can you name the seven phases? ADAM The first is after the planet already exists inside a nebula. TFNI And what do you know about such a planet? ADAM It's round, and it spins, and it's dark but also really hot and messy. TFNI And what happens to that planet? Do you remember? ADAM The first phase is where the light makes a type of day and night. TFNI And where does the light originate? Is it on the planet somewhere? ADAM It is sunlight and its nebula wears thin and lets the sunlight through. TFNI And then what? What does light do? ADAM Mommy? What is a nebula blanket?- It's very dusty. TFNI And that is all that it is: dust floating uncollected about the sun. ADAM How does it keep the planet warm? TFNI The dust catches sunlight and heat, and gets warm itself; but darkly. ADAM There must be a lot of dust to keep a whole planet warm. TFNI Yes, a very lot: enough to make the sun and planets first,- and more. ADAM Then, the planet gets quiet and the wind turns into clouds and rain.… (yawns) TFNI And that is the second type of day? What is the next phase? ADAM Yes; Then the seas and lands cool, and make soil, and grow plants. TFNI Can you grow plants without soil? ADAM We have the hydroponic flowers; but they need nutrients.… TFNI And what happens when the planet is full of plants? ADAM The plants make air and grow fruits and the sea animals become fish and birds when they follow the moon and stars. There are land-creatures too and mankind. Mr. Gabriel said we will visit a sixth-day planet … but, Mommy, How do animals get to a planet? TFNI The Life-Principle we call, God, forms its manifestation everywhere in concert harmony:- All things reflect Life, together and diversely. ADAM And then God approves, and gives us things to do and learn.… TFNI Yes, And that's the seventh phase to think about.… Good night, dear one.

GABE Mike, They were approaching the children almost directly. MIKE We've had no contact in thousands of years. Why the children? TFNI Sir, From the watcher-control-room they could find empty corridors. MIKE Psychology? TfNi;- following a buffer-zone to the children? -FIFTH- Sir, Their mental tones were dark and mechanical: All kill. MIKE Kill in empty corridors? What is their target purpose? GABE I think they want the children:-- the threat of a future. MIKE But suicidal! Gabe, What chieftain risks protection against children?! -SIXTH- Information, Sir: what we do to avoid space-comets, they amplify to murderous thievery for raw information: to release it. MIKE (turns) You mean, they've lost their ability to dodge space-rocks? GABE Could be, Mike: Then they'd kill for tidbits of information. MIKE An inferior mentality? Gabe;- enslaved to a superior technology? GABE Comparable to children, Mike, they don't see us in charge. MIKE Run an adaptability-profile on the children. Thank you, all. Others exit; Mike, Gabe, remain. GABE Mike, you were hard on TfNi: We lost her husband Tefen; and her boy is … MIKE (clips) And both she and Adam took hits: I'm focusing on this, Gabe. GABE You suspect Adam is their only, target? MIKE What do you think of Adam? Is he tractable for spacer living? GABE He excels at spatio-temporal relations; As bright as any of the children, in a hundred years: He's foresightful. MIKE You mean, self-involved,- could be projective, even useless.

PTAH (a beat at Ra, smiles) Ra, You're brilliant half the time. Gabe enters. GABE (defensive) Excuse me, Mike: TfNi's in trouble: She did it again: She's blaming herself. MIKE Did?- What?- What's troubling her? GABE (holds a broken Watcher) This is the third broken Watcher. MIKE Then she's fixed her blame on open-intelligence technology. GABE Under incursion-strikes, she'd better secure internal operations. MIKE Open-intelligence always ranks the highest respect for performance. GABE But, Mike, Open-intelligence also exposes individuals:-- Adam! MIKE Priorities, Gabe: Adam is not suited to spacer-living. GABE (a bit upset) The adaptability profile is relativistic grading, not absolutistic:- Don't be hard. MIKE You believe Adam is their target,- and he's consular lineage …. GABE (detects incongruity) They can't know that:- That's eight thousand years ago…! MIKE And, open-intelligence should have erased it among us. GABE Open-intelligence mollifies,- but can't subvert motherhood. MIKE Doesn't need-to:- It shows us what we must do promptly. GABE (yielding) … Finding a suitable space-refuge, for him, means we need a temperate planet similar to our former Earth. Live-Earth map: atmospheric gases absorption-spectra. MIKE The target planet is a feasibility: We can put them down near the space seed implantation … (to Ra, Ptah) Excuse me, guys … GABE This is their solar system, Mike: They'll go after him down there. MIKE (admits but) Safer than with us … We'll have to put them down without the spacer habiliments. Ra, Ptah, chickle-chuckle. GABE That's extremal … Should I go with them? MIKE A separated mother is more common among suicidal male cultures …. (resumes at map) Atmospheric composition parametrics are similar to a minim-suit plus a nitrogen burden, -useful for plant-life,- slightly deranging for men, animals,- but Adam will survive it. GABE (involved too) Nitrogen, matrix … Nitrogen Two…?- (chuckles) No heavy molecular oxidators?-- They're going to chirp like birds!- Not to mention feeling ill all day. Ra, Ptah, mutually mock-sick-burps, hands to lips. MIKE (stifles a nod yes) Significant gravity, They will rest supine. Helium spectral absorption suggests underground gases and oil reserves in valleys and near seas:- eventually useful resources.… GABE This is severe … Have we any choice of ground location? Harvest-season? MIKE Take a look:- Infra-red especially. GABE (examines Earth-IR map) Appear to be several long rivers in luxuriant temperate zones,-- here … (points at major rivers) MIKE (at S Euphrates) Yes,- And this confluence of four plain-rivers in this mid-northern temperate zone … is target choice. GABE (at S Persian gulf) Gulf is constricted:- Northern top-water could be fresh …. MIKE Planet rotation on 24 degrees tilt: Usable day; Quadrature mild seasons favoring warm northern springtime…. GABE Do you have nightside, infra-red: Is it populated? Mike switches map: black+red-enhanced night-views of Earth. MIKE (sweeps down Euphrates) Northward is, but practically none southward. GABE Unsettling, Mike:- A spacer-ideal locale with no settlementation…. MIKE It's drier; Fertile, but few trees for building … Maybe the ground is unstable for tall structures? GABE Maybe it silt-floods seasonally: There may be no exposed stones. MIKE (at eastward Karun R.) They can set-down on higher ground here in the foothills … There will be fewer trade-route travelers at the base of the eastern mountain-plateau range. GABE (summarizes hope) Polluted morons, spacer-profile-rejects, disillusioned political-losers: All manner of dangerous defilements and disloyalties: What can we provide them? We're hundred percent spacer-typed! MIKE Nothing, but the information of where they are: where they can go. Ptah leans subtly forward-- PTAH Tell him about the sunset beaches. GABE (grins at Ptah) You've been dreaming again, Ptah: You've never seen a beach up-close. PTAH Dreams must count for something: If poops feed plants, Dreams respite … GABE (grin wears off to Mike) I'll prepare TfNi;- How soon do we arrive at… new-Earth? MIKE Four days: We decelerate-swing at its large moon, and arrive at the main planet nightside as the moon enters a solar-eclipse umbra.… (emotes unto chrysalides) I'll be glad to unload this space-seed cargo;- In dreams I smell its stench of rottage;-- I've tested for cracks: There are no leaks; It almost has me believing in extra sensory perceptions … or dreams. GABE This is profound, Mike: Where will we, go then-after? MIKE (points to N. Nile) Ptah and Ra are landing due-west … GABE Ooh, Nice. MIKE We, may have no choice, Gabe: We've got non-ballistics paralleling at tracking distance …. We'll drop our cargo, return to third synchronous orbit, and find the scout ship … We can watch over Earth day and night. GABE I'll shuttle them down at maximum angle just before orbit-dawn: With the lunar eclipse behind us, it'll give us all the best disguise into the changing terminator daylight. MIKE And then return directly:-- We may have to leave Earth-orbit entirely. GABE Mike, We have no agenda to abandon them forever. Venus-Solar map; Ptah, Ra, join interested. MIKE I'm looking at this planet inward: Ample resources for us to reform;- Cloud cover and thermal inclemency should deter incursions. GABE (at sun-data chart) Billion-year sun-stability,- Good. MIKE Any further discussion? We remain on Yellow-Alert, henceforth. GABE Thanks … This will be a very long planetary exploration for TfNi. (turns, exits) ATEM-RA (to Ptah) Ptah, A sunset beach faces the west: That means you'll have to take the east, shore. PTAH We can share the river, And I'll come over with Sekhmet to your side for the evening sunsets. ATEM-RA (a beat bemused) Okay, That's amenable, I guess. CUT TO: INT. COMMAND - 4000 BC EARTH NIGHTSIDE - LIT (4 DAYS LATER) Hyperbolic approach; CMDR Michael watches Display-enhanced nightside Atlantic ocean, African continent turning toward; Gabe enters, carrying leaf-sack bundles on a vine garland: GABE Mike: TfNi and Adam are ready to shuttle down. MIKE It'll have to be quick, Gabe: We have non-ballistics approaching within quick-strike range. GABE (subdued) And one other thing, Mike:-- TfNi has impregnated herself from the marrow in Adam's broken rib.… MIKE (acknowledges) That's fine, Gabe: Without her husband, she might as well … (looks askance) GABE She programmed for a girl. MIKE (deliberate smile) Figures: Good choice. Gabe motions: TfNi, Adam, enter without spacer-habiliments; indications of surgery: Adam, at a rib; TfNi, inner-thigh. GABE (holds out leaf-bundles) Can they have these gene-adapted fertile-seed pouches? And rolled thatch-leaf mats? MIKE (peruses) Yes,-- those look Earth-ordinary. GABE (garlands TfNi, smiles) These seeds are bitter-coated with a dry fertilizer-primer.… MIKE (continuing) But, what about their rifle-scars? Can we cover that better? GABE Flesh accelerants leave uneven fill without persistent tending:- best not. TFNI (resolute) Commander Michael:- Are there any last instructions? Any idea who's upon us? MIKE None, TfNi, and I can't risk exposing you and Adam to find-out. GABE TfNi: We do know their speech is root-similar, with eight millennia of insular development …. Earth-technology languages could deviate by isolated millennia further;- We'll ask our century scouts. TFNI (turns to Adam) Adam, Are you ready to go explore a day-type-six planet? ADAM (looks at Gabe) Yes. (looks at TfNi) Is this how they dress? MIKE Yes: (looks at Gabe) They are fairly primitive mankind, (to Adam) among a variety of land-animals. Atem-Ra enters-- ATEM-RA (smiling pretence) Someone looking for me …? TFNI (bursts tears to hug) Ra…! ATEM-RA (hugging, patting) It'll be alright, dear: They've got spacepods out there looking for him … When we find him, he may be a few years recuperating on ice. TFNI (sobering) Can you, come down, and visit…? ATEM-RA (comforting, to a grin) Now young one: We've been away from planets a million years: An old god like me can't do much with gravity: If I sit on one corner of a planet, my head points north, and if I sit on the other corner, my head points south: It's very confusing for an old god like me … TFNI (giggles in tears) But … If you can, someday, we would love to have you visit … ATEM-RA I'll think about it: The gravity of thought eventually outweighs most … KLAXON doublet;-- Mike quick-checks status: [P.A.] (VO) E-T-A: 3-87:-- Non-Ballistic Convergence!-- (CONCURRENT) (countdown 2 per 2 sec.) E-T-A: 3-85 … E-T-A: 3-83 … (etc.) TFNI (attentive) We'd best get going … (to Adam) Say goodbye to your granddad, Adam. ADAM (to Atem-Ra) Good-Bye, Granddad Atem-Ra. ATEM-RA Good-Bye, young Adam Geb: You take good care of your mother TfNi…. ADAM Yes, Granddad Atem. ATEM-RA (assures TfNi) I'll see you again somewhere, TfNi. TFNI Of course, Ra.… GABE (calm urgent to Mike) We'll leave now, with your order. Mike nods yes,- and resumes controls; They turn to leave. ATEM-RA One other thing, TfNi, -should any ask:- You and Adam will be the gods of the wind and the earth;- I'll be the Sun-god; Ptah is Grand Creator: We agreed.… Thoth is still figuring one out: He wants to be the god of technicolor flowers … and wife Maat wants bird feathers … We're trying to convince him, to be something more substantial,- like moon-god. TFNI I'm the god, of the wind? ATEM-RA God, -goddess,- … till we recover Tefen and send him down. If you make a change, keep it consistent in the places you have been. GABE Did you pick one for me, Ra? ATEM-RA Ah!- We forgot all about you, Gabe … Just tell them you're one of the gods' messengers: an archangel. (to Mike) Same, anytime any of you visit.… GABE Okay … But I'm going to relocate to one of Ptah's sunset-dream-beaches. Gabe, TfNi, Adam, leaving Mike, Ra, mutually grinning … ATEM-RA (calling after) And say goodbye to Ptah … He's in the Trampoline Room …. INT. HALL - TO TRAMPOLINE ROOM - LIT (CONTINUOUS) Hurrying along … TFNI What's Ptah doing in the Trampoline Room one hour before planet impact? GABE Oh, You know Ptah,- always creating some new invention:- He says he has a new way to prepare for gravity. TFNI I thought the centrifuge exerciser… EXT. TRAMPOLINE ROOM - LIT (CONTINUOUS) Ptah is bouncing in a translucent enclosed spring-slung web-sack trampoline … TFNI (watches 3 bounces) Bye, Ptah! PTAH (between bounces) Bye, TfNi … See you … down below! … (a beat) How many … is that … now? SEKMET (OS) One thousand, one hundred, ninety-two, half-bounces …. They hurry on; Ptah's twin wife SEKMET has been monitoring: PTAH Sekmet … What is … half … a bounce? SEKMET From the middle of the sack to the farthest stretch,- or back again: I count those directly …. PTAH Okay, Dear … Half, bounces … DISSOLVE TO:
