Episode one

Hi All, Here is my battle report for the first game. Well its the fluff of the battle report. Later this weekend I will try and do the non fluff report.

Episode one Synopsis “Into the breach”

Plot

The nefarious VOSTOK had stolen a C-130 containing parts of a new upper stage booster vital to a Mars Mission. Luckily they were forced down but not before dumping the cargo across the Florida plains. Fortunately SPACE was nearby and raced to the scene.

With Titan unavailable due to “technical issues”, it fell to John and Franz to save the day. Spyforce, a British task force led by Col Cato were attempting to secure the booster, while taking a look for themselves.

A cordon was created and two parts were quickly secured by SPACE. Then John managed to power run from shadow to shadow to rescue a third. Spyforce drove their landrover  into the cordon and a mysterious lady took one of the components. Meanwhile Cato and his driver had crossed a chemical tank to get a second part of the booster but both had slipped in. While they were swing for the edge Franz tried to take aim at the drive but his conscious stopped him from taking the shot. Meanwhile John leapt over a fence in a single bound and secured the final piece. With the parts secure and the US Army drawing in the Spyforce retreated. Victory was SPACE’s and without a shot fired.

Production

The episode was filmed in an abandoned industrial complex. While considered a ratings success the show was marred with several major flaws. A unarmed tech was played by Mark Hamill and was seen in the original cut to grab a component of the booster and run behind a crate. NASA, who thought the episode would run too short, introduced a scene where the tech met a wondering boy and explained the importance of space. The dramatic performance of this piece convinced the show’s writers to expand Hamill’s role as the tech Matt Juno, A blond farm boy who studied hard to get a job in NASA. The increased pay for what was seen by the extras as corny acting resulted in the extras playing the solders to walk off the project. This increased costs for the next episode, Though one additional extra was hired.

Bio
Raised on a farm in Concord, Mattew Luke Juno was a normal American kid with a dream, a dream to be a scientist. Despite his humble upbringings he studied hard and never got into trouble, and managed to gain a university scholarship at Yale. As part of his course he was transferred to Whitesands as a contractor to work on T.I.T.A.N, then on to Cape Canaveral to assist Dr Atlas in R.I.S.T. When T.I.T.A.N was transferred into SPACE, it made sense for Juno to be transferred in, given his technical knowledge of both John Redstone and T.I.T.A.N.

Trivia:

The urban myth that the sound of the malfunctioning booster was ripped from Lou Reed’s experimental track “Metal Machine Music Part 2” is a false hood. While the two do sound similar, Lou Reed’s track was randomly generated 3 years after this show aired.

One of the extras who left was a young Laurence Fishburne who later describe the show as “worthless propaganda”
