INT. BATHROOM IN HERMES'S HOUSE
They are out of the shower and are drying off.
PERSEPHONE
If you come with us there will be
no turning back.
ZEUS
I know. Hey could you pick me up
some clothes from a replicator, I
kinda don't want to walk out with a
towel in front of your boyfriend again.
PERSEPHONE
Uh, ok I'll be back in a sec.
She kisses him lightly on the lips, she takes his clothes
out to the hallway replicator and disintegrates them in the
recycling portion and replicates a pretty standard outfit
for him and a hot outfit for her.
CUT TO:
(Party)
INT. HALLWAY IN HERMES'S HOUSE
Persephone walks out the door.
HERMES
Where's Zeus?
PERSEPHONE
In there.
HERMES
I need you down at the lab, and
transfer the data files you have
compiled.
PERSEPHONE
But Zeus needs clothes.
HERMES
Don't worry about that, the only
thing he needs to put on is a shroud.
CUT TO:
INT. BATHROOM
Zeus overhears the end of the conversation, as he puts his
towel on the rack.
PERSEPHONE (MUFFLED)
Ok Hermes, see you down at the lab.
Hermes abruptly opens the door holding the clothes-
HERMES
Hello Zeus.
ZEUS
Hi.
HERMES
You with us.
ZEUS
Yes sire bobby.
HERMES
Then come with me.
ZEUS
But clothes.
Zeus is frantically putting his underwear on.
(Party)
HERMES
Don't worry about that soldier.
Like they say in camp if you're not
in a STEX your naked.
Zeus is putting his pants on.
ZEUS
But that has to do with armor and
vulnerability to small-
Zeus gets his shirt on.
HERMES
When the Leviathan arrives at this
station tomorrow,
Zeus is getting his socks and shoes on.
HERMES
to pick up the rest of its crew, we
are planning to, hack into its
systems implant a takeover virus
and control the autoguns of the
ship to kill the crew, defend from
other space vessels, and take over
the ship.
INT. HALLWAY IN HERMES'S HOUSE
Hermes and Zeus walk into the hallway towards the door to
the basement.
HERMES
Then we are going to crush the West
from the inside, out.
Hermes stops at the door.
HERMES
We plan on ending the war in less
than a month. Hopeful we will be
able to moderate both the
superpowers when the US is about to
collapse.
ZEUS
You're going to end the war?
HERMES
Correct.
(Party)
ZEUS
I am joining because I like your
girlfriend, I am half suicidal. You
and me hate the war but you've got
a good life? Why are you going to
risk everything!?
HERMES
Well, remember the simulation that
you were in a couple of years ago.
ZEUS
Which one?
HERMES
The one where you took over the
silo and nuked all of the West.
ZEUS
Oh that. Did you see that.
HERMES
Yeah I told you last night
remember,
that's where I first saw you. God
you were amazing. But what is
important is how nukes were banned
from space.
ZEUS
Yeah because if it wasn't both
sides would have to amass nukes and
both sides would get negative points.
HERMES
Well the ban on using nuclear
weapons in space and ground, only
restricts their use by regulating
plasma projectile pay loads or how
much they explode. The MAD treaty
is impotent to actually stop the
powers from accumulating nukes in
space.
HERMES
There are still over 10,000 on each
side on the ground. But what you
don't know because it is classified
level 94, is that there are right
now over 100,000 nukes that are
arranged along the frontier in
space that have on average a 1,000
kilometer blast radius.
(Party)
HERMES
This is insignificant to the
thousands of nukes that as we speak
of that are being transported to
the front from both sides, although
the West now is doing far more.
HERMES
After the fleets annihilated each
other both sides find their lines
tenuous which is why they are both
backing them up with nukes. Also if
they didn't the other side still
would and they would be absolutely
fucked if they got nuked.
HERMES
The Leviathan has over 40,000 nukes
on board it and is heading for the
frontier now. If nukes line the
frontier, there would be nothing to
stop a destabilization of power.
Any sort of escalation in the war
would lead to nuclear war.
HERMES
If one of the sides starts to gain
too much territory and begins to
take the upper hand then the other
could retaliate by initiating
crimson sky, where all of the
nuclear torpedoes are launched all
at once along with the ground based
ICBMs.
HERMES
This would mean the destruction of
our civilization as we know it. We
cannot let this happen.
ZEUS
But if you gutted the West then
wouldn't they lose the upper hand
and initiate crimson sky.
Zeus is white with fear.
HERMES
No as long as the leviathan is in
US territory the West would never
initiate crimson sky. About 3/4 of
the torpedoes and 7/8 of the ICBMs
will be shot down.
(Party)
HERMES
But if the leviathan is behind the
enemy lines then all 40,000 of its
nuclear torpedoes will hit their
targets and it would hit all of the
Western nuclear arsenals and anti-
nuke targeting systems leaving most
of the Eastern nukes to go through.
HERMES
They would never launch with the
Leviathan still in their territory
the West will be forced to back
down to some extent and hopefully
we can induce some sort of detente.
Zeus shivers and has goose bumps-
ZEUS
Oh my god.
HERMES
So are you sure you will you fight
on my side? You will have a couple
hours to decide but I am busy, I
have to prepare for the takeover.
ZEUS
Yea I will do it... For the sake of
humanity.
HERMES
Good come with me.
They walk through the door down stairs to-
TAKEOVER
INT. HERMES'S CONTROL ROOM
HERMES
This is our main control room, we
call it the lab. This is where we
will control their systems. Hey
Persephone explain the plan to him.
Hermes starts talking to one of the technicians about the
security cameras.
Showing below in real life.
INT. LEVIATHAN COMPUTER ROOM
PERSEPHONE
Ok First we wait for the lead
digital technician to leave. He is
the only one who fully understands
the ships systems and could
possibly repair it before we are
finished. He has shore leave when
the ship arrives in 2 hours, and
will leave the Leviathan.
INT. RESTAURANT IN HERMES'S COLONY
PERSEPHONE
We will trail him with a small
radio jammer so they are not able
to call him.
ZEUS
Wouldn't the jammer be detected?
PERSEPHONE
No it only affects a 40M radius.
Besides who ever heard of somebody
walking around with a radio jammer
anyways.
Show below with diagram.
(Takeover)
INT. MULTIPLE HOUSES IN HERMES'S COLONY
PERSEPHONE
Well as soon as the Lead Technition
leaves the ship
(show him walking
past the ships dock
to the colony)
we will initiate a character attack
on the ship control systems this
will be done through sophisticated
ghost hacking techniques where the
source of the attacks is modulated
between various computers that we
don't even own.
Show below in real life.
INT. LEVIATHAN COMPUTER ROOM
PERSEPHONE
A few seconds after that the
substitute technician will be
dazzled, distracted, and scared by
the attack. The substitute
technician will call for the lead
technician, but we are jamming him.
INT. LEVIATHAN ROOM 1
PERSEPHONE
Our inside man is going to
implement the virus on our signal.
And it will begin "patching" the
system to let us control everything
from here and later for us to
control the system from inside the
Leviathan. The patches will be
disguised as system upgrades but
the upgrade center will not be
informed. Then we...
INT. LEVIATHAN COMPUTER ROOM
SUBSTITUTE TECHNICIAN
Where the hell is this attack
coming from, computer run a trace
on these attacks.
LEVIATHAN COMPUTER
The attacks are coming from the
this colony.
(Takeover)
SUBSTITUTE TECHNICIAN

with the police chief of this colony.
OFFICER KEYS

being hacked by somebody living at
Longfellow St. Could you

LEVIATHAN COMPUTER
The source of the hacking has
changed.
SUBSTITUTE TECHNICIAN

again.
SUBSTITUTE TECHNICIAN
Hello Officer Keys.
OFFICER KEYS

cars.
SUBSTITUTE TECHNICIAN
Well the source keeps on changing.
And I don't have the experience to
isolate the true source.
SUBSTITUTE TECHNICIAN
I was just calling the lead
technician who does. But his phone
seems to be broken could you please
find him for me so we can isolate
this hacker, before he actually
breaks any codes.
OFFICER KEYS
Sure.
(Takeover)
INT. HERMES'S CONTROL ROOM
Zeus is watching as the black computer screens show the ship
functions.
TEAM MEMBER 2

TEAM MEMBER 4
Hang on a second my computer is not
online.
HERMES

Hermes looks over. He turns in his chair and looks at his
screen.
HERMES

ours there was a permission error
when the virus took over.
HERMES
We need to get past this, NOW!
TEAM MEMBER 7

technician has called the police
and told them to find the head
technician.
HERMES

to do.
INT. LEVIATHAN COMPUTER ROOM
The substitute tries to activate the locator.
LEVIATHAN COMPUTER
I am unable to do that.
SUBSTITUTE TECHNICIAN (ALMOST
UNINTERESTED LOOKING DOWN AT
SCREEN)
Why is that?
LEVIATHAN COMPUTER
This console no longer has
authority to access ship functions.
SUBSTITUTE TECHNICIAN
WHAT!!! WHY?!?!?
(Takeover)
LEVIATHAN COMPUTER
The system patch Version 5.00 has
locked out this authority and gave
it to remote access.
SUBSTITUTE TECHNICIAN
How can I get remote access?
LEVIATHAN COMPUTER
I don't know. That information was
not provided to me.
SUBSTITUTE TECHNICIAN
System backup to version 4.82.
LEVIATHAN COMPUTER
No that is not authorized from
here.
SUBSTITUTE TECHNICIAN
Well how would I go about doing
that.
LEVIATHAN COMPUTER
I don't know, but in version 4.82 I
would recommend using the automatic
reboot system.
SUBSTITUTE TECHNICIAN
Is there a way of doing it
manually.
LEVIATHAN COMPUTER
No.
SUBSTITUTE TECHNICIAN
Can I do something manually that
will cause the system to reboot on
its previous version.
LEVIATHAN COMPUTER
Yes version 4.00.
SUBSTITUTE TECHNICIAN
How?!
LEVIATHAN COMPUTER
Destroy DNA Hardrive AA, and then
reset the RAM, the computer will
reboot to hardware wired to boot
version 4.00.
SUBSTITUTE TECHNICIAN
Thank you, map please?
LEVIATHAN COMPUTER
Here.

swiftly towards one of the tables. The couple opens up the

SUBSTITUTE TECHNICIAN
Good.
The substitute as he runs out the door he came in. The
soldier looks dumbfounded.
INT. HERMES'S CONTROL ROOM
Zeus types into the help screen "security systems code."
He looks and finds the message "The security system
activation code is not revealed in this help program, please
refer to the Navy site at
https://ww3.usnavy.gov/Leviathan/secure/security for more
information."
Zeus pastes this into his browser and goes to the site. Zeus
types his military number and password and gains access to
the site. Zeus finds the phone number for the administrator.
Zeus types the number into his computer and puts on a
headset.

engineer when hackers started
attacking and taking over our systems.
ZEUS
Luckily our security systems were
hard to break but I don't think
they will hold out for long, I need
access to the security systems, to
stop the hackers.
Everybody is staring at Zeus at this point.
NAVAL ADMINISTRATOR (VO)
I will need to confirm, but I am
