WC3 Movie Index: Hyperion
Rec Room - Rachel & Flint
Series N - - Hyperion System - - A beta test for the Temblor Bomb . . .
NOTE: The situation presented in the following TWO scenes (well, FL1-S and N0RECRA1-S) is that Blair enters the Rec Room and can have a conversation with Flint or Rachel. He must pick one OR the other (or he may decide not to speak to either of them). Once he makes a choice, the other scene is NOT available.
Within each scene, he will be faced with a Morale Decision. Choosing the “Morale DOWN” option will then make ONE of two more scenes (N0RECA2-S or N0RECFL2-S) available. IF he does NOT continue immediately with one of these, they will NOT be available later.
All FOUR of these scenes must “SLIDE” through Series N together, being available for play as a unit.
This is what happens if Blair chooses Flint first:
REC ROOM - FLINT (SLIDING) -> NORECFL1-S
BLAIR SEES BOTH FLINT AND RACHEL, AT OPPOSITE ENDS OF THE REC ROOM. THEY BOTH LOOK AT HIM EXPECTANTLY. IT LOOKS LIKE DECISION-TIME . . .
HE MOVES TO FLINT.
FLINT
Should I read anything into this? Your talking to me instead of your mechanic?
BLAIR
-> (smiles)
I had to make a command decision, didn’t I?
FLINT STANDS AND MOVES CLOSER TO HIM.
FLINT
But is it a decision for the moment? Or something more lasting? Everyone can feel it . . . we seem to be facing more risk than ever . . . I think it means every moment has to count . . .
Flint’s morale UP:
Rachel’s morale DOWN:
BLAIR REACHES OUT, PULLS HER FORWARD, AND KISSES HER.
IN THE BACKGROUND, AN UNHAPPY RACHEL WALKS OFF.
BLAIR AT LAST COMES UP FOR AIR.
BLAIR
You right. We’ve wasted too much time already. Flint’s morale DOWN:
(Blair does NOT KISS Flint)
BLAIR
(beat)
I can’t risk getting involved with someone who might be on my wing. There’s too much at stake.
FLINT’S EYES GO COLD AS SHE STEPS BACK AND SITS BACK DOWN AT HER TABLE. BLAIR WALKS AWAY.
N0RECA2-S now available.

Oh, come on! I don’t fly with her.

Briefing - Hyperion 1
BRIEFING N1 - EISEN -> N1BRFEI
CONDITION: IF Vagabond NOT returned to flight roster in Series M.
EISEN
Colonel, I’ve ordered Vagabond’s early release. I still think what he did was wrong, but we need every good man we’ve got. Let’s get down to business, Colonel. CONDITION: IF Vagabond returned to flight roster in Series M.
EISEN
Let's get started, Colonel.
EISEN (V.O.)
Your old friend Paladdin has been keeping busy. He sent us a little gift - a prototype of the Temblor bomb.We’re jumping into the Hyperion System, where Intell's located an uninhabited and tectonically unstable world - - a perfect test site for the weapon. An Excalibur’s been modified for this special payload, and Colonel, you’ve been selected to deliver it by dropping to the surface of the planet and hitting the bull’s-eye. Your timing, and you aim, have to be perfect.
* *
BLAIR
Ready to go, sir.
EISEN
I like that enthusiasm. Dismissed.

CONDITION: This scene only available, and REQUIRED IF N0RECFL2-S played (Blair spoke to Flint in Rec Room) AND IF Blair kissed Flint.

RACHEL
Can’t say that I’m real thrilled with the flight plan that you followed back there in the Rec Room.
BLAIR
-> (beat)
Oh, well... maybe it’s because we’re both pilots, you know. We understand each other.
RACHEL
-> (angry)
Well, since there are things beyond my comprehension, I think you better handle your own loadouts from now on. After all, I’m just a mechanic. Can’t possibly understand the needs of a pilot.
SHE STARTS WALKING AWAY - -
BLAIR
Wait a second . . . Rachel!
- - BUT SHE’S GONE.
NOTE TO ORIGIN: IF this scene plays, NO default loadouts for the remaining missions in Series N.

BLAIR FINDS FLASH LAID OUT ON A BUNK.
IF Flash’s morale is HIGH:
FLASH
So all we gotta do now is nuke Kilrah and I can get back to some serious test-piloting . . .
BLAIR
Something like that. IF Flash’s morale is LOW:
FLASH
So all we gotta do now is nuke Kilrah? Yeah, fat chance.
BLAIR
I think I’m beginning to miss the old, arrogant Flash. At least he talked a good game.
FLASH
Gotta tell ya, I’m surprised I survived all these missions.
-> (beat)
Probably surprised you too, right.
Flash’s morale UP:
BLAIR
You hung tough, I gotta hand you that. Flash’s morale DOWN:
BLAIR

VAQUERO
That T-Bomb’s something, ain’t it, Colonel?
BLAIR
It’s . . . unique.
VAQUERO
I can smell the end, sir. With a weapon like that - - well, if that doesn’t do it, nothing will.
BLAIR
-> (shrugs)
Maybe our grandchildren won’t have to fight this war after all.
VAQUERO
Well, in any case . . . I want you to know that I’ve learned a lot from you.
BLAIR
You can return the favor when I visit your cantina - - maybe you can teach me to play that guitar.

VAGABOND
I’ve been to just about every corner of every galaxy . . . And it’s been a helluva ride . . . IF Vagabond morale LOW.
VAGABOND
I’ve been to just about every corner of every galaxy . . . And mostly? It’s been shit . . . A few good times . . . and a lot of tough times.
BLAIR
What’s this? Weepy nostalgia from the hardened cardshark?
VAGABOND
Well, it’s just that . . . I’ve been thinking . . . Here on the Victory . . . For the first time, I feel like I’ve put down some roots.
Vagabond’s morale UP:
BLAIR
You’ve been a good influence on the rest of us - - you don’t take yourself too seriously. And you’re a damn good pilot.
VAGABOND
Thank you, sir. You’re not so bad yourself.
(beat; smiles)
How ‘bout a quick hand of cards? Vagabond’s morale DOWN:
BLAIR
Yeah, well, this ship’s about to be tested like it never has before. We might get uprooted if we don't stay on our toes.

Yes, sir.
EISEN (V.O.)
We’re jumping back to Hyperion - - Confed’s decided it’s a good staging area, and we’re building up a fleet there. Apparently the Kilrathi have got wind of this buildup. We’re going to be escorting the big boys. - -

Good luck, Colonel.

BLAIR SWOOPS IN TO KISS FLINT, BUT SHE DEFLECTS HIS AFFECTIONS.
FLINT
So explain something to me. Now that we’re flying in tandem onboard, how come I no longer rate as your wingman?
BLAIR
-> (defensive)
You know I have to spread assignments around.
FLINT
Why do I get the feeling none of ‘em are going to be spread my way?
BLAIR
Hey . . . I'm trying to protect you.
-> (angry)
Oh, that's a good one. Listen, you can’t freeze me out like this. I want a piece of the action.
Flint’s morale UP:
BLAIR
(grins)
Once a fighter jock, always a fighter jock. Is that it?
FLINT
Yeah, that’s right. And don’t you forget it, flyboy.
BLAIR
You’ll get your shot.
FLINT
(sly smile)
And you know you won’t regret it. Flint’s morale DOWN:
BLAIR
I’ve already lost one - -
(beat)
. . . pilot; I’m not losing another. The war can get along just fine without you.

Then so can the Colonel.
