MALE SPACE COMMUNICATIONS: Very well, Canera. You are cleared for re-entry. Proceed to Mendra spaceport. Good day.

CANERA CAPTAIN: Who are those clowns?

SECOND OFFICER: We're in unequivocal commit! We can't even manage a skip out!

CANERA CAPTAIN: Hit it now!

CANERA HELMSMAN: Nothing left but altitude dials.

Notes

A portion of the transcription was provided by J. Allen Brack who commented on Facebook: "The line you will never understand, i.e., the line we most made fun of, is 'We're in unequivocal commit! We can't even manage a jump out!'. Just think what those neurons could be doing if I hadn't worked on that project. Terribly sad I still remember."

MAIN GAME SEQUENCE : Prologue

BLACK SCREEN

SC.1 EA / ORIGIN TITLES BURN IN AND DOWN (COMPUTER

GENERATED: NO VIDEO)

EXT. CRIUS FROM NEAR SPACE, WIDE -- DARK SIDE (NO FADE: CUT
TO SHOT FROM BLACK SCREEN)

Only a thin crescent of sunlight shows at the edge of the
planet surface, except for faint spatters of light from
cities on the nightside. CAMERA PUSHES IN and slowly PANS
left to show the planet and its primary in the far distance,
"setting" over Crius's limb. As we watch, the sun continues
setting. PAN CONTINUES and STOPS as a large orbital space
station, an intricate and glittering construct, comes INTO
SHOT and hangs half in, half out of it on the left. A soft
SFX: BABBLE OF VOICES AND COMPUTER SIGNALS, the sound of
several communications channels being run together, starts to
be heard, increasing in volume. This station is Crius
OffPlanet Control, a sort of ‘air traffic control” for the
planet at large. (All planets will have this sort of
control, in charge of landing clearances.)

COMMS CHANNELS (V.O.)
(various voices, male/female)
...Crius OPC confirms that, RS one oh
three one, good day... / ...no slot for
you yet, Atriarch, estimated vacancy
four minutes three, zero... / ...vector
toward primary, three three oblique
two five, good day... / Ludau,
you are cleared in on Passadi approach, five zero
one four; separation waived... / Ack-
knowledged, Daniev, your transmission
confirms your comms malfunction, shift
to eight eight three four... (etc., ad 1ib)

SFX: LOW RUMBLE off to the left side. A huge transport
starship coasts INTO SHOT, from “over our shoulder”, between
us and the space station, heading for the planet. As the ship
passes, the last flicker of setting sun vanishes behind
the planet, leaving the ship in near-darkness -- defined only
by "earthglow" from the planet, and its own silhouette,
ornamented with running lights. This is Canera.

CANERA COMMS (V.O.)
(female voice)
Crius OPC, this is PM one oh four
six Canera, on plan, expecting Herab
injection marker one one five.

SCREAM, the second of them performing a victory roll as it
goes.
