Pilot

The screen blinked between black and white, cutting to a photographer snapping pictures of a man, Jake, standing in a crowd. Many hoots, hollers, claps blared through the air. A female journalist with blond short hair and a blue dress walked up to Jake, holding a microphone to him. "How do you feel about the trip?" the journalist asked.

"Uh.. good, that's all I have to say." Jake rubbed the back of his head, running his hand through his short, brown hair. He outfitted an astronaut suit, holding his helmet close to his hips.

Multiple camera flashes blinded Jake, other journalists trying to call out to him at the same time.

A man with grey hair walked up to Jake, pulling him by the wrist. He held a cigarette with his lips, smoking. "Alright, come on with me. We have to get to the lab." the man grumbled with an accent, skipping over letters.

The two walked into a building, the interior differing greatly from the exterior. The interior compromised of almost black, with turqouise circuit lines running through it. Weird cylinder shape objects surrounded two pods, a female scientist holding a clipboard next to one of the pods.

"Hello, are you Jake?"

"Yeah." Jake grinned, trying to brush of that the scientist was beautiful.

"Step in through this pod. The Atrocian is in the other pod."

The pod opened up, mist coming out of it. Jake stepped in, one foot at a time. Turning around to face the scientist and man, Jake closed his eyes. The pod closed.

Not a single beep sound arrived, Jake expecting something to happen. Taking a deep breath and closing his eyes, everything suddenly started spinning. He couldn't describe what was happening, the process of the fusion painfully confusing him. He felt like vomitting, the painful process of his genes swapping with another's.

The background turned completely green, a ball of energy going up across the screen. His bones became thinner as the background changed to red now with a red ball of energy running across the screen.

It stopped.

The pod finally opened up, Jake stumbling out of it. Collapsing onto the ground, mist surrounded him. The other pod opened up also, a short stubby Atrocican walking out.

The man looked towards the scientist, both nodding their heads. [Scene Change] Jake was in his astronaut suit, his helmet accomodating his outfit. The man stood off to the side with the audience, a large crowd surrounding a spaceship and Jake.

"Well, see you guys from Mars!" Jake couldn't contain his excitement or nervousness.

A ramp opened up from the spaceship, Jake stepping onto the entrance. Continuing to walk, Jake entered the spaceship. Roars of happiness rung through Jake's ears, the ramp closing up.
