In Language Through Literature we read a play called Journey to Technos. When finished reading the story we had to do a task of rewriting the last scene of the story. This work we had to d it in groups, my group was Catalina Viola, Camila Peralta and Ignacio Cagide.
This is the book we made:
SETTING:City of Technos.
At
RiseThe kids start running, and separate
in different groups: Peter and Shannon. Ginny and Mike. But Willie is alone.
Shannon:(Running to the circle of light.)Peter, PETER! I am so scared! Many
bytes are following us! If we don’t escape quickly, they will absorb our minds!
Peter:(Running to the circle of light, too.) I will save you, Shannon.
A lover always saves his love.
(Both stop running and look at each
other’s face).
Shannon: What are you talking
about? Are you in love with me?
Peter:(embarrassed) Yes…
Shannon: Oh… but… I just wanted us
to be good friends. Just that…
Peter: Oh, I thought you were
going to say that… And it is okay if you don’t love me, I understand that I am
not the perfect boy. But I will always love YOU SHANNON and I won’t love anyone
else in the world! I promise you that I will take care about you as if you were
my girlfriend.
Shannon: I am really sorry! It is
just that I wanted you as a friend, and not more than friends, if you
understood me…. Everything would be easier….
Peter: It is okay Shannon, don’t
worry.
Shannon:(Sad)Okay… (Happier because
she saw Ginny and Mike) Look! Here come the others!
(Ginny and Mike arrive)
Ginny: Hi! Some bytes and bits
are following us, but they aren’t as fast as we are. We have to escape from
them! Quickly! Everybody! RUN!
Mike: But… Willie… he isn’t here, where is
he?
Shannon: Let’s call him. Everybody
shout “Willie” when I say three.
All:(Except Shannon) Okay.
Shannon: One… Two… and… THREE!!!
All:(screaming) WILLIE!!! WILLIE!!!
(They wait)
Shannon: Here he comes! Look!
Willie:(Arrives exhausted because he had been running)Come on everybody! We have
to escape before the Supreme Technocrat sees us and catch us.
Mike: And we have to escape from the bytes
and from the bits.
(They run to the circle of light)
(But when they are about to go home…)
Supreme Technocrat:(Appears in the circle of light) Stop! You won’t leave this perfect
society. I spent millions of years creating it, and you won’t ruin it. (Supreme technocrat press a button that
calls all the bytes, bits and commanders) Now you, my slaves, TAKE THEM TO
SOMEWHERE AND ABSORB THEIR GREATFUL MINDS!
Ginny: NO!
(Everybody starts running. Bytes,
bits and commanders catch Shannon, Peter, Mike, Willie and Ginny. A byte was
putting a helmet to Shannon to absorb her mind.)
Peter: SHANNON! YOU WON’T DIE
WITHOUT ME! (Peter hits the bytes that
were holding him, and he jumps against one Byte.)
Supreme Technocrat: What are you thinking
about little boy? (The Supreme Technocrat
shot a laser to Peter, that hit him in his chest and he dies).
Shannon: PETER! YOU WANTED TO SAVE
MY LIFE AND YOU ARE…DEAD! I am so sorry about it…
(The bytes take Shannon to absorb her
mind).
Willie:(to Ginny) where is Mike?
(Ginny looks everywhere to see if she
could find Mike)
Ginny: There! Killing the
commanders!
(Mike kicks the commanders in the
face, and he eliminates them.)
Supreme Technocrat:(To the bytes and bits) Dance! Make your “Don’t escape”
dance! If you dance we will have more opportunities of keeping them here.
One Byte:(To the Supreme Technocrat) But we always do what you tell us to
do and you never recompense us! We are tired of this single routine!
Supreme Technocrat:(After thinking it for a time)Okay. You know what? You are right.
Now dance and I will recompense you later!
All bytes and Bits:(dancing)you won’t escape! You won’t escape from here! You are our
prisoners!
(While the bytes were dancing, Willie
eliminated some of them.)
(Bytes and bits get around Willie.)
Willie: Hey Mike, help me! I am
in serious problems!
Mike: I am going Willie! Resist!
(Mike runs as fast as he could and
finally he gets were Willie was. He hits some Bytes and Bits. And Willie is
saved.)
Willie: Thank you Mike! I was
hurt but I feel much better now! Because at least they have stopped hitting me!
Mike: Look that! It is amazing! Weren’t
Shannon and Peter dead or something like that? Well, they are there!
Ginny: Yes! That’s right! But…
They are… BYTES!
Mike: Oh no!
Willie:(Thinking) Yes… They are Bytes… But… We can bring them with us! If we
just take the helmet they are wearing, we could save them!
Ginny: But, Willie, it is late
now. They are Bytes like the others…
Willie: No, they seem to be Bytes
but they are not. Notice that all the Bytes aren’t wearing helmets, but our
friends are. So, I think that they are like in a transition stage.
Mike: They are in a transition stage? What
is the transition?
Willie: They aren´t Bytes yet, for
being Bytes the Supreme Technocrat must absorb their minds and hypnotize them.
And he absorbs them with the helmets. So, if we take out the helmets to Peter
and Shannon, they must be normal people again!
Ginny: But how will we do that?
Willie: Just wait and you will
see…
(Willie runs towards Mike and Shannon
and he takes out the helmets. Mike and Shannon are “alive” again. They return
where Ginny and Mike were.)
Willie: You see, It wasn’t that
difficult. They were being hypnotized so they couldn’t do anything! They
couldn’t move either!
Shannon:(Trying to understand what had happened) Oh! Willie! You saved us!
I am so happy!
Peter:(Jealous because Shannon demonstrated interest in Willie)Yes, yes, yes. We are
alive. But all the bytes and bits are coming here to absorb our minds!
Mike: Yes, Willie always knows what to do
but now he won’t!
(All the Bytes and Bits get were the
kids were. They all start fighting)
Willie: All! Listen! Hit them in
their face and destroy them!
(They fight. But a Byte capture
Willie)
Willie: Mike! Help me! I won´t
survive without your help!
Mike:(Thinks)Look Willie, I have always acted as you were my best friend,
but I have always hated you. You were always the most intelligent, the one who
always knew what to do. But that time is over. You stole MY girl, my job as
Vice-president and my honor. Bye Willie, Ginny and me will pass the best time
EVER.
Willie: Mike, I can’t believe it!
You are such a silly boy!
Mike: Bad luck Willie, bye.
Ginny: Stop boys! Willie, you
are a perfect boy, but I can’t stay here. And Mike, I want to go out, but
Willie is my friend.
Mike: You know Ginny? You are losing
opportunities. Chose now.
Ginny: I will escape my own.
But, if the three escape, I will stay with Mike.
Willie: You decide. (Willie starts running, jumping and doing
strange things.)
Mike: See you Ginny. (He runs to the circle of light) Wait…(To himself)What am I doing? Willie is my friend, he has always
helped me. I am doing a mistake. (He runs
very fast and he jumps against the bytes that were hypnotizing Willie.)
Mike: Willie, run! Run! RUN! (A commander jumps against Willie, and puts
a helmet to him.)
Ginny: NO WILLIE! NO! (She starts crying.)
Mike: Ginny, we must run, or we will die!
Ginny: And Willie!?
Mike: we must leave him…. I’m sorry.
Ginny: Okay…..my life is over. (They start running to the circle of light)
Mike: Ready?
Ginny: Yes. (They step on the circle of light. But the supreme technocrat shot a
laser to Ginny, who has to stay out of the circle of light and can’t go with
Mike to Willie´s house.)
Mike: GINNY!
Ginny:Mikeee!!!! MIKE!!
MMMMMIIIIKKKKEEE!!! MIIIIIIKEEEE!!! (Mike
doesn’t hear anymore Ginny’s voice. Ginny was taken somewhere, with Shannon,
Peter and Willie, where the Supreme Technocrat absorbs their minds.)
Years
later, Shannon became the wife of the Supreme technocrat, and she was called
Lady Technocrat. Ginny became a commander, the boss of all the commanders. And Mikehad a new girlfriend called Rose.
(Mike is in his room, alone, hears strange
noises, voices, screamings, many voices saying: remember me? We are here.)
Mike: WHAT IS THIS!? (He hears somebody saying “open
the wardrobe”) Ok…ok… I will open it, BUT STOP! (He opens the wardrobe)The Wave Amplifier? I haven’t seen it for
six years! (He turns it on, but a robotic
hand takes him into the wave amplifier)
