Yeah well that’s that I guess.
Kinda running out of content but I changed tacts recently I decided if I just wasn’t feeling Kur 2 I wouldn’t continue until I was in the mood for it and just to write something else for fun until I was up to it.
I mean there’s no point in writing more Kur if I think it’s garbage or my hearts not in it so I’ve just been working on other stuff, which will be a really shit surprise for thursday haha.
So don’t hold your breath for that. Most of my time and energy is going towards finding a new job and getting out of this shitty country and being with my daughter. Writing is on the back burner until that in the works.
Probably gonna do a Captain Marvel review because I pirated it last night and I hated it but I’m not sure I have enough to say about it because it was such a nothing burger of a film. Even by marvel standards it was just bleh, completely formless and pointless with some of the most cringe dialogue ever written. I kind of had to force myself to believe it was made by people and not an algorithm.
Anyway gotta get to proofreading that new shitty stuff I was writing instead of Kur for thursday and of course flooding barbados with my cv haha.
See you…
–
ExT. in space above the planet. day
We return to Rico as he falls in and out of consciousness
faling
towards the planet in his damaged pod.
DiZZY
RICO!
JELLY
RICO! YOU’RE A SITTING DUCK KID!
JELLY (
CONT’D
)
YOU NEED TO BREAK AWAY FROM YOUR POD OR THEY’LL PICK UP YOUR HEAT
SIG
.
JELLY (
CONT’D
)
RICO CAN YOU HEAR ME?
Rico is barely conscious as he’s falling getting faster. He wakes up and inhales and muscle memory starts to kick in and he engages the servos in his power armor.
JELLY (
CONT’D
)
YOU HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL YOU PASS THE ATMOSPHERE OR YOU’LL BURN UP!
JELLY (
CONT’D
)
RICO CAN YOU HEAR ME?
The pod is entering the atmosphere and its rough, it’s hot and parts of the pod are coming off.
He clears the outer atmosphere and starts into free fall. He starts to kick his way out of his pod. The huge desert planet getting larger and coming faster at him as he falls.
Power armor voice
Proximity alert! Proximity alert!
Rico flips a release to break away the last layer of the egg pod.
The first charge pops all the straps and then the outer shell.
Now he’s actually falling, nothing separating him from the outside world, just his suit and falling with the air under his feet.
POWER ARMOR VOICE (
CONT’D
)
Brace for impact!
He looks around the terrain and sees enemies firing on his pod. Scanning the terrain he straightens up his fall into a
swandive
and then pops his first shoot and is yanked up into the air out of the sight of the enemy snipers.
He disengages the first shoot and tries to engage the second but it was damaged during the fall.
PoWER ARMOR VOICE (
CONT’D
)
Proximity alert! Brace for impact.
He falls through the roof of an alien building of some sort.
JELLY
RICO, IF YOU’RE ALIVE AND CAN HEAR THIS, SCAN MY BEACON.
Enemy soldiers surround the building.
A light inside Rico’s helmet lights up his face, blood trickling down it from a head wound.
A sudden quick shape shoots from the roof of the building and in it’s wake it leaves behind a bomb.
The bomb explodes dispatching the area.
JELLY (
CONT’D
)
RICO REPORT!
RICO
My shoot malfunctioned, snoopers say I’m on the wrong side of the river.
RICO (
CONT’D
)
I have your beacon locked.
RicO (
CONT’D
)
On my way to you.
JELLY
Shit
son, you had me worried.
JELLY (
CONT’D
)
Don’t lag behind.
The explosion in the warehouse he blows up goes off again igniting some ignitable substance and knocking Rico off balance.
He squares up and keeps moving.
Rico looks at device that allows him to see the formation of his squad.
RiCO
ACE REDRESS YOUR LINE
Ace
Rico, so you’re alive.
RICO
YOUR LINE.
ACE
YES SIR!
Rico hops the river in his power suit and makes his way to a sweet spot he picked out, a grouping of buildings on a hills he was planning to hit.
Rico loads and cocks a rocket launcher from his back.
RiCO
ACE STRAIGHTEN UP I SAID!
ACE
YES SIR!
JELLY
ALL HANDS!
JELLY (
CONT’D
)
PLATOON, BY LEAPFROG! FORWARD!
SERGEANT JOHNSON
BY LEAPFROG! ODD NUMBERS! ADVANCE!
Rico lines of up his rocket launcher pulling the first trigger to lock and then the second trigger decimating what could be a temple or a palace.
RICO
SECOND SECTION, EVEN NUMBERS
Rico jumps clear of the building.
RiCO (
CONT’D
)
ADVANCE!
His power suit allows him to jump the next row of buildings as he advances.
With his free hand he uses a hand flamer to burn the buildings as he passes.
He fires another set of
H.E
bombs from the Y rack on his shoulders but passes too quickly to see their effect, just bathed in the light of the explosions against the night sky.
An enemy comes out of the building Rico is approaching they see
eachother
.
JELLY
ODD NUMBERS ADVANCE!
Rico flames him and jumps over the building he’s coming out of.
But he’s distracted by having to act so fast and he poorly times his jump coming up too high and too wide leaving him exposed.
He attracts the attention of a group of enemies and comes down badly on the roof of a factory covered in pipes and wires.
He jumps again scattering a cluster bomb to keep them busy.
RiCO
SECOND SECTION! EVEN NUMBERS
RICO (
CONT’D
)
ADVANCE!
Rico sees something in the distance and gets a high vantage point to activate his snoopers. His gear is firing their payloads automatically now as he lands after each jump. He sees some sort of large building in the distance which he thinks could be their waterworks.
JeLLY
JOHNNY! RED! START BENDING IN THE FLANKS!
RiCO
SIR!
RED
SIR!
Rico activates his beacon.
RiCO
SECOND SECTION CURVE IN!
RICO (
CONT’D
)
SQUAD LEADER ACKNOWLEDGE!
ACE
SURE THING!
ACE (
CONT’D
)
Already on it, pick up your feet.
The home defences start to rally and Rico narrowly dodges a missile fired at him, rattling his teeth.
Then a beam is fired overhead and he stops frozen.
He jumps frantically trying to keep moving and get out of that spot landing in a crowd of enemies firing his flamer in a wide fast burst.
He moves on but his Y rack has run out of bombs and he stops to reload it with the last of his
H.E
bombs and check his position.
He flips his snoopers up to scan the battle field for something substantial to hit with his last two A rockets.
He fires off into the distance there are a series of unidentified explosions above so Rico decides not to risk a jump.
He takes out a beam knife and cuts through the buildings instead cutting and blasting through the buildings.
Rico unintentionally breaks into a huge room full of aliens. There’s a pause as neither knows how to react.
It seems to be full of civilians taking shelter but one scared skinny takes a shot at him, hitting his armor.
Rico is rattled and jumps for cover instinctively leaving them behind a little present.
The bomb he throws
sqwarks
in their own language.
Bomb (captions)
I am a thirty second bomb!
BOMB (
CONT’D
)
Twenty nine seconds,
BOMB (
CONT’D
)
Twenty eight!
BOMB (
CONT’D

Rico doesn’t stick around he jumps through the roof of the building and gets a bearing on his formation.
JELLY

JELLY (
CONT’D
)

JELLY (

JELLY (

JELLY (

A skinny pokes his head around a corner and Rico throws a bomb at him.

The pick up beacon is sounding but he turns off his
comms
.
JohNSON (
CONT’D
)
RICO DO YOU READ? RICO!
JELLY

JELLY (
CONT’D
)
ON THE BOUNCE!
RETRIEVAL BEACON’S VOICE
“- To the everlasting glory of the
infrantry
, shines the name, shines the name of the Rodger Young!”
Rico hears the sound but is heading in the opposite direction.
Rico
Ace you got her beacon?
Ace
I got her, I don’t need you, go back.
RiCO
I got you by eye now, where is she?
Ace
Right ahead of me, maybe a quarter mile/ I said go back, she’s my man.
Rico isn’t listening he’s closing in on Ace.
He finds Ace standing over Dizzy who’s downed in her suit, a couple of dead
skinnys
near her.
Ace turns to see Rico.
AcE (
CONT’D
)
I told you I didn’t need you.
Rico
Is she hurt?
Ace
I can’t tell,
why’d
take her helmet off?
RicO
Where is it?
Rico takes his helmet off to get a better look at her.
ACE
It’s over there, don’t touch it. It’s covered in something weird.
Rico goes up to her to check if she’s
ok
.
RICO
Diz
, can you hear me?
RICO (
CONT’D
)
Help me get her out of her armor, we’ll carry her to pick up
They disconnect her from her suit but something’s wrong, she’s comatose and mumbling to herself.
DIZZY
No-can’t-leave-don’t-come
Ace
What’s she saying?
RiCO
I
dunno
let’s get her
outta
here.
They attempt to lift her but she start seizing and flailing like her body isn’t her own and she reaches for her side arm and shoots Rico in the eye.
