Dig Dug. Team A.T.A.R.I. headquarters.
Inside the “Grid”
Jack, with his bleeding ulcer that just might burst on him is standing, nervously looking up at the screen in the control room of Dig Dug, the room called the Grid. Here the mission for the Energon Device is plotted, planned and executed. It was all running smooth till just the other day….
Jack “GOD DAMN! DAMN IT ALL TO HELL! ABORT! ABORT!”
JT “What are you talking about?” JT says who just swiped his key card and entered the Grid. He’s well aware of what happened at the Battle of MGM.
Jack “Nice to finally see you JT! How was the vacation? How is Barbados this time of the year?”
JT stops as the door slides closed behind him. He crosses his arms.
JT “I’d imagine Jack, it’s quiet nice this time of the year. I was in [Classified]. My grandmother passed away.”
Jack “Oh…..I’m sorry to hear that.”
JT “Well that is what’s happen when you’re 110 years old and fall and break your hip. Of course....”
JT, who is a fitness nut. A model of what a healthy human being should look like. He looks at Jack who is a guy nearing retirement, and his smoking and drinking, plus stress is catching up with him.
JT “You’ll never know that.”
Jack “Gee! Thanks! You prick.”
JT “Now what was all this screaming? Nolan sent me a text telling me to be here right now. What is going on?”
Jack “We’re pulling the plug. That’s it! It’s over. Time to pull those 3 out of there before they get killed. The war is over with. We’re not getting the Energon Devise. No world peace. The security of the nation has been compromised. We’re all fucked!”
JT “Seriously?”
The door slides open and stepping into the Grid is Nolan himself with a file folder in hand. JT turns and greets Nolan with a hand shake.
JT “Nolan.”
Nolan “Gentlemen! Sorry about your Grandmother JT. She was a inspiration to us all.”
JT “Thanks Nolan. That means allot to me. She was very special to me. Now, back to business. Jack was saying that Codename Pong is over?”
Nolan “In a matter of speak.”
Jack shakes his head, he holds himself up with one hand on the control panel looking like his whole world has just ended.
Jack “Oh I knew it! Shit on a single, Christ all mighty. I knew it! We’re doomed.”
JT “Wait? So you didn’t know?”
Nolan “Jack! For christ sake man! Pull yourself together. We’re far from done.”
Jack “WHAT! Are you mad! They lost the battle of the MGM! Their lucky they got alive!”
Nolan “A minor setback.”
Jack “MINOR! Did you not see what I saw?”
Nolan “The battle of the MGM, was, unfortunate. Clearly we would have liked a outcome in which 2600 and 7800 were victorious, a outcome in which the Team Atari flag can be hoisted and flown over the location that is Las Vegas. But as it turned out. That was not the case.”
Jack’s face is turning white, pale white. Nolan hands JT the file folder.
Nolan “Dabney….”
Jack “Fucking Dabney….”
Nolan “And Bushnell have pushed all the chips to the center of the table.”
Jack “Oh lord….”
Nolan “As luck would have it gentlemen. 2600 and 7800 have a chance to capture the Energon Devise at the Battle of Hollywood on April 30th.”
Jack and JT “What?”
Nolan “This is what we have wanted gentlemen. A opportunity to capture the E.D. To secure the future of the nation. To bring about peace, and to make sure that the greatest nation on earth has the power. As Prince Adam once said, soon, we will have the power. In that file is everything we known on Yamauchi Kross. Her weakness. Her Strengths. Everything. If she farted in a Korean sushi bar, we know about it.”
Jack “Holy hell…” Jack says as he stands up straight.
Nolan “We are moving on to phase 3 gentlemen. This is it. Everything we have worked for, happens on April 30th. That is why right now Ted is getting Tos to Hollywood.”
JT “Tos?”
Jack “Jesus mother Mary. Tos?”
Nolan “Dabney and Bushnell, They have more faith in 2600 and 7800 then everyone in this building combined. Tos, he’ll get those two lasered focused. He was born for this.”
Jack “With Tos. We can’t lose. We’ll take the Battle of Hollywood and the Energon Devise for sure.”
Nolan “Let’s hope so. Gentlemen.”
Nolan turns and exits the Grid as JT and Jack stare at one another, shocked that Tos is on his way to Hollywood…….
