Week 6 Persuasive Dialogue

(The scene opens with Jason, up before everyone else, drinking a cup of coffee and staring out into space. He looks curiously at the planet, wondering what adventures await him there. Now that he knows the Glactians are after them, it puts a different spin on things. This means any ship, any planet, any new species, could be a potential threat. Jason doesn’t like that feeling.)

(In a the next scene, Jason, Caleb, Rex, and Nikki are down on the small planet, investigating. Everything about the place seems deserted.

(The next thing we see is Rex sitting at the edge of a hospital bed with his leg extended and a leg brace strapped on.)

Dr. James: So, what happened, Rex?

Rex: What do ya think happened!? I broke my
