Otto & Sam -- "The Jurrasic Recruit" The scene is Road Rover Mission Control Hospital Ward. DJ, Cobber, Alethia, Star, Maxx and Dylan are gathered outside of the main operating room. DJ (shakes head): I can't believe this has happaned DYLAN (in shock): But we all saw it out of their own eyes! ALETHIA (sadly): Poor big guy.... I hope he can handle the news MAXX (sadly): What a way to end a mission! STAR (nods): He was only trying to help us, and now..... Star holds back her tears, but the others in the waiting room can only feel sadness. In the Operating Room, Maurader stands with Otto and Samantha Maddog over the table where their friend is laying, still asleep. MARAUDER (shakes head): Otto, Sam, I've done everything I can, I ran every test I can think of and I'm even analyzing his DNA through our computer. As of yet, there's no possible way to reverse the effects of the accident. He could remain in canine form for the rest of his life. SAMANTHA (sadly): OH NO!!! OTTO (sternly): This will indeed be a tremendous shock for him MARAUDER (sternly): Frankly, that's why you are both here. You've know him longer than the rest of us, maybe the news will be easier to take if it came from you. (points): Ok, he's waking up, get ready.. The cano-sapien on the table slowly opens his eyes. As he begins to sit up, he looks at the green fur that is covering his arms. Directly in front of him is a mirror, and the image he sees shocks him. SAMANTHA (timidly): Mr Dinosaur, sir, we have something to tell you... OTTO (sternly); Computer Dinosaur, due to an accident that .. CD (shocked): HEY!! What's goin' in here? Is this some sort of joke? Otto, are you using your holographic projectors on me? OTTO (sternly): Please, let me finish.... CD (thinking): The last thing I remember is doing a huge belly flop on top of Parvo's headquarters.. SAMANTHA (nods): That's right, Mr Dinosaur, sir OTTO (sternly); But when your huge ten ton brontosaurus body slammed into that Gen-Par lab building, you accidently set off the cano-mutator which was in the building... it has changed your form to that of a cano-sapien.. CD (surprised): Y'all mean, I'm a dog now? OTTO (nods): That is a correct summation of the facts, big guy. SAMANTHA (in tears): I'm so sorry! CD now hugs Samantha, who is weeping in his embrace. CD (looks up at Otto): Ain't there a way to change me back? No offense, but I ain't all that happy bein' a dog! OTTO (shakes head): At the present time, we are unable to reverse the process.. CD (shocked): Wait, have you told my wife yet? OTTO (shakes head); Dree-'el is not home at the moment. CD (releases Samantha, walks around, stares at mirror): So, I am now a green furry Road Rover? This here is gonna take some gittin used to! SAMANTHA (sadly): Are you alright, Mr Dinosaur, sir? CD (smiles): Well, I reckon I'm as alright as a dog person can be! Maybe y'all orta start calling me CD for now on, I'm not exactly a dinosaur anymore OTTO (nods): Affirmative, CD. Your friends are waiting outside, they are concerned for your well being CD (nods); I reckon it's time for the world to see the new me! Marauder opens the door and DJ, Alethia, Dylan, Cobber, Maxx and Star walk in. COBBER (smiles): How ya feelin' mate? CD (smiles); Let's just say I don't quite feel like myself anymore! DJ (giggles): At least you still have your sense of humor! ALETHIA (sternly); Computer Dinosaur, what are you going to do now? CD (smiles): Y'all can call me CD for now on, but to answer your question, Alethia, I reckon the only thing I can do for now on is to be a Road Rover. I can't exactly go home and tell my wife that I've shrunk and life a normal life in my cave. MAXX (sadly): Oh CD.... STAR (half smile): At least you have a good attitude about it CD (nods): Ain't no sense in me sittin round feelin' sorry fer myself. That's ain't gonna do nothing fer me. Just need to make the best of it! (smiles): I'm hungry, y'all, is it lunchtime yet? DYLAN (smiles); Sure CD, c'mon, follow us to the dining hall! DJ, Alethia, Maxx, Dylan, Cobber, Star, Otto and Samantha lead CD into the dining room. As they set their trays down on the table, they are soon joined by Emaryldwyn, Dervish, Roger Maddog and Kyra. EMARYLDWYN (looks up at CD): We all just heard about the accident .... DERVISH (nods): Yeah, must be a big adjustment, huh? CD (smiles); This is true, Dervish. It's the little things I need to get used to, like having fur, being only 6 foot tall, having arms and hands, things like that. ROGER (sips soda): Are you going to become a Road Rover now? CD (nods): Looks like I'm going to have to. (smiles): But at least now I'm the same size as my many dear friends! KYRA (happy): That's right, CD! DERVISH (points at CD's tray): Is that all you're having for lunch? CD (nods): Tossed salad and vegetable soup! Yes, that's all I'm gonna eat for now COBBER (smiles): You should really try the chopped steak! STAR (nods): The fried chicken is good too! MAXX (smiles): Shag will even fix you a hot dog if you want, but don't tell Exile, ok? CD (sadly); But that's all meat! I'm a herbivore! We only eat plants ALETHIA (smiles): But you're not a dinosaur any more, you're a dog! DJ (picks up chicken leg): And dogs are carnivores! Don't feel unconfortable about eating meat, my friend! CD (sips soup): Well, maybe I'll try some meat later. This is gonna take time fer me to accept. MAXX (smiles); There's more to being a dog than just what you eat, CD. COBBER (smiles): Right! There's fleas, chasing cats, burying bones, fire hydrants.... EMARYLDWYN (smiles): Chew toys, rolling in garbage.... DERVISH (laughs): Hey, being a dog is a cinch! We'll teach you all you need to know! CD (smiles): Thanks, guys! Suddenly, the Master's voice is blaring over the PA system MASTER (on PA system): ALL ROVERS TO THE BRIEFING ROOM!! THIS IS AN EMERGENCY!! Everyone dashes out of the dining room and into the briefing room. MASTER (points to map): Rovers, a few hours ago the Katzestockian ambassador and his family were kidnapped by Ovtisian rebels. We now know their secret hideout is location in the mountains of Eisneria! Your mission, retrieve the ambassador and his family! You'll leave in two Jet Rovers, Alethia, DJ, Dervish, Dylan, Star and Maxx, you take the first jet, the rest of you take the second. Good hunting, Rovers! They all howl in unison and then rush off to the jet hanger. Otto, Samantha, Emaryldwyn, Roger and Kyra lead CD to their Jet Rover. The two Jet Rovers are soon in the air and speeding towards Eisneria. OTTO (piloting the Jet Rover): Guys, I've just spoken with Alethia in the lead plane. She says the terrain is too rough to land our planes. This means all of us but the pilots will parachute down to the target area. KYRA (happy): Parachute! HOORAY!!! ROGER (looks at Eve): Darling, please calm down KYRA (happy): But this is SO exicting! SAMANTHA (concerned): Otto, does that mean I'll be jumping out and you'll be landing the plane? OTTO (nods): Yes, but don't worry. When DJ and I have landed the planes, I'll instantly teleport us both to the drop site, so we can storm the hideout together! EMARYLDWYN (smiles); Good plan! (turns to CD): Ok CD, put your parachute on! CD (concerned): Like this? SAMANTHA (smiles): No no, Mr Dinosaur, sir, you don't wear it on your head, you put it on your back OTTO (shouts): We are nearing the drop zone! Please prepare to jump out of the Jet Rover! KYRA (happy): Goody Goody! ROGER (smiles): Sounds great to me! SAMANTHA (stands up): I'll open the back door! The panel of the door slides open. EMARYLDWYN (shouts): Ok everyone! JUMP!!! Eve, Rising Moon, Emaryldwyn, Samantha, and CD jump out of the plane. Within minutes, their parachutes deploy, except for CD's. KYRA (scared); Look! CD's chute didn't open! ROGER (shocked): He's falling to the ground! SAMANTHA (scared); OH NO!! EMARYLDWYN (screams): CD!! OPEN YOUR CHUTE!!! CD (screams): IT'S JAMMED!!! IT WON'T OPEN!!! CD continues to fall to the earth when suddenly ...................... ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// He rolls out of his stone bed and hits the cave floor with a loud thud. This causes his brontosaurus wife Dree-'el to turn on the bedroom lights. DREE-'EL (yawns): CD! It's two in the morning! Why did you roll out of bed? CD rushes over to the wall mirror, looks at his massive brontosaurus body and breathes a loud sigh of relief. CD (smiles): WHOA!! WHAT A DREAM I HAD!! I dreamed I got turned into a dog, and I was with my Road Rovers friends and .... DREE-'EL (scoulding): You have a nightmare, didn't you? I told you that eating those two dozen cheese pizzas before bedtime would cause you to have nightmares, didn't I? CD (nods): You sure did, darling. But it all seemed SO real.... DREE-'EL (rolls back into the bedcovers): Tell me about it in the morning, CD, go back to bed now! CD (smiles): Ok, but how about a snack first? DREE-'EL (angry): CD!!! CD (nods): Ok, ok, I was only kiddin'! CD returns to the stone bed, ducks under the covers and falls fast asleep. ------------------------------------------------------------------------
