Scene 0262
I.[]
"Was thinking to base the lore around Jim from the Treasure Planet Disney movie. Still wondering the galaxy with the space pirate crew led by Pincer. They had been on a long journey back looking for the treasure planet. A place of myth and legend where the infamous pirate Billy Bones had stashed his riches made from a lifetime of pirating. Exhausted from a long week of black hole sailing, Jim wondered off camp after not being able to fall asleep. It had been a let down of a life time whilst barely surviving the harsh conditions of space sailing. Many had failed searching for the befamed treasure planet, nobody had ever found it. And against all expectations, Pincer’s crew and Jim were now part of the group that wasn’t skilled enough to track it down. The crew had decided to take a break and set up camp in a tucked away corner of a supercluster a few thousand lightyears from base, in a heavily cluttered binary solar system. After a short walk with negative thoughts and talking down on himself, he made it to a cliff. He squatted down, still in his own head.
“Why did you ever get your hopes up” “This journey nearly got you killed” “We got close though… I think” “I can’t just ditch mom & my sis like I did for such a dangerous illusive treasure hunt”
Jim talked to himself for a little while, not really getting anywhere by doing so. He looked at his watch. The crew would be packing up in a few hours to set sail again. He better get up, bounce back to camp & get some sleep in.
He stood up and looked up. For the first time noticing the breathtaking beauty of the cluttered solar system he was in. It gave him goose bumps. Like a little kid seeing an airplane for the first time, or a teenager on shrooms looking at the sky, his jaw dropped and just stared into the infinite nothingness. The beginnings of a tear started to well up the corner of his eye. Perhaps the first tear of beauty or joy he’d ever shed. And decided he’d stay for a little longer."
