Marooned



Scene 1


I have been here for five days .With me is professor Jabobson. Miss till.


Here if you must know is orbital station Omega.

We are orbiting an unknown planet similar to earth; it has one tiny continent mostly surrounded by a large ocean. We are many light years from earth, This is the furthest an orbiter has been from our home planet earth.


Scene 2


Bill Rihardson has left the orbital station.He is leaving behind the older astronaut Doctor Jacobson and the female miss till.


Scene 3


The hovercraft Richardsod malfunctions and his ship starts to crash towards the surface of the planet.It is a miracle beyond all miracles the gravitational pull from the planet did not turn this ship into a hot fireball.


Scene 4


As Richardson gets out of the ship ,which is now trashed he finds a gorilla with rifle in hand. coming after him .He immediately yells out" get the hell away from me you dam dirty ape!!and precedes to runs as fast as he can go. His heart is racing and fight or flight responses are kicking in.

Richardson was getting tired of running he must of been running for hours and sweat was pouring all over his body Furiously.


He realized he must find a spot the creature could not get him or he would easily get picked off and die. There was no way he could fight the gigantic sized creature with what looked like a rifle in hand with a strange stare the gorilla continued pursuing the human. and a ugly Gorilla one at that!.

Richardson sees a female dressed in leaves she nervously motions him to follow him.

They go into a tunnel as he nervously holds the young girl's hands he sees an ancient subway and other artifacts." some type of natural Disaster or war has decimate a once flourishing civilization .

The astronaut thought and these dam dirty apes" Richardson thinks to himself .

am presuming they obviously want their stinking paws on humans!.


She takes the astronaut to a small colony where different humans live .The humans are of different age groups. Later she feeds the astronaut and they make passionate love in her room.

She falls asleep on her bed and Richardson lays down beside her wondering if he will ever see home again.


Else where a group of Gorillas are examining the crashed ship.

The Gorilla that was chasing Richardson is speaking to an orangutan .who is apparently the leader of the Monkey tribe. the speaking a very strange language a mix of German and Japanese.

The day after the astronaut spent the night in the female's room she took him to a throne room.Richardson named her Nova. She was 22 or at least looked like it, and had brunette hair and looked 22 years of age.



An elder man may have been novas farther or he knew her many years as he embraced her.it appears he talked to her through e.s.p.

Mean while at the Gorilla base. The Orangutan leader of the apes.
Zumu spoke to the gorilla soldier that had chased Richardson a few days ago previously.

The Orangutan leader remembered his farther and grandfather telling him a secret of the humans. he feared the day would come his worst nightmare would soon would soon come.

Elsewhere Richardson walked through the tunnel with Nova. his farther was clearly the leader and made sure the last few humans remaining would not be captured from the Gorilla and used for target practice and medical experiments.

The Gorillas would routinely capture savage humans on the surface of the planet.
The monkeys on this strange planet had helicopters but no planes.

One monkey front the planet Cornelius would live among the humans.

He taught Richardson the ape language and customs and came with Nova and himself on their journey across the tunnel underneath the planet of apes.

Richcardson enjoyed making love to Nova night after night but grew tired of living in the ancient tunnel of the planet of apes.so he left the tunnel once he left for the forest.

Finally he came to the village. It was night so he walked quietly into the darkness where was



his ship. Agorila yelled at the astronaut to halt but Richard went into flight or fight mode and went into the ship.Once in the ship he sat down His helmet was still there. He pressed some levers and took off or outer space.

He went thru a space storm but made his way to earth /.Richardson then landed In washington D.c.


Walking out of the ship.He saw some military men putting up a flag it looked like a inauguration of a new president had taken place.


Richardson looked closely; these were not humans but apes!
