DOZENS OF ROBOTS speed along a multi-lane passageway.

All following glowing lines on the [Link]’s head whipsaws back and [Link] to

Wally shrinks from the high-speed traffic.

Timidly attempts to [Link] out one tread...-- Instantly causes a ROBOT [Link]
boxes up. Guns [Link] across all the lines on the [Link] off robots like bumper

Barely able to navigate the chaos.

INT. UPPER HALLWAY - CONTINUOUS

Wally flies up the ramp.

Nearly collides with a merging HOVER [Link] blocks his [Link] gains alongside it, and
discovers

A HUMAN PASSENGERsitting, reclined, in the chair.

He is large, round and soft - like a big [Link] a red, BNL [Link] chair seems to be
steering [Link] by floor lines, just like the [Link] headrests block his
peripheral vision.A HOLOGRAPHIC SCREEN floats inches in front of his [Link] converses
with a SECOND PASSENGER on screen:

PASSENGER #1

Well, I’ve been in my cabin all morning so let’s hover over to the driving range and hit a few
virtual balls into space.

PASSENGER #2 (ON SCREEN)

Nah, we did that yesterday. I don’t want to do that.

PASSENGER #1

Well then what do you want to do?

ON WALLY

He looks over his shoulder.

Passenger #2 is floating right next to [Link] in his own hover [Link] in a red
jumpsuit. Also a big baby. 26.

PASSENGER #2

I don’t know. Something.

Both humans are totally unaware of the other’s presence.

They all exit the hallway. Merge into the...

ECONOMY CLASS COURTYARDWally is in awe.

Hundreds of floors of GUEST ROOMS rise on all [Link] OF PASSENGERS fill the
giant [Link] reclined and riding on hover [Link] FLOOR LINES guide their

Humans have become the most extreme form of couch potatoes.

Absolutely no reason to ever get [Link] [Link] one of them engrossed in their video

Wally shies [Link] reaches farther out with the cup.

JOHN

Suddenly John begins to rise.

JOHN

Uhh...Hey! What’s going on?

Wally lifting him up from [Link] him back onto his [Link] doesn’t know how to

Wally tries to fold back her speaker [Link] breaks it off.

For the first time he notices Eve. [Link] hovers over her. Salutes.

Across the room, Wally watches with sheer joy.

She’s okay!He is compelled to head straight for her...

ON EVE’S DISPLAY POV

...Sensors zero in on the plant...

...Confirm its authenticity......A MAP OF THE AXIOM appears......Draws directions to the

(music stops; forced chuckle)

Hey there, Autopilots! Uh, got some bad news. Operation Cleanup has, uh, well... failed!
Wouldn’t you know, rising toxicity levels have made life unsustainable on Earth.

CAPTAIN

Unsustainable? What?

BUY N LARGE CEO

Darn it all, we’re going to have to cancel Operation Recolonize.

(dons his life vest)

So just, uh...just stay the course. Rather than try to fix this problem, it'll just be easier if
everyone remains in space.

CAPTAIN

(offended)

Easier? 66.

CEO ADVISOR (O.S.)

Mr. President, sir, it’s time to go.

BUY N LARGE CEO

Alright, uh...uh...I’m giving override

AUTOPILOT

Sir, orders are: “Do not return to Earth”.

CAPTAIN

But life is sustainable now! Look at this plant, green and growing! It’s living proof he was
wrong.

AUTOPILOT

Irrelevant, Captain. 67.

CAPTAIN

What?! It’s completely relevant!

Out there is our home! Home, Auto! And
