After the stay in the Virgin Islands, the Peacekeepers are flown by jet to the N.A.E. Summit in Paris. They are assigned to double rouble, this time housing in a large apartment building for the Global Youth Peace Representatives. The G.Y.P.R.'s are 104 young people between the ages of 15-25 who each represent a different nation of Earth. They are divided into subgroups of four by the English alphabet, according to their assigned name for the N.A.E. And G.Y.P.R. summits. Example: Quasar of the USA is apart of group "Q". The coed names were given as a way to avoid long sir names, cultural formalities and titles, hence the single name.
The eleven peacekeepers are allowed a weekend to settle in a bit before they are to attend the N.A.E. summit and ?Meet the World'. They are first meet by Jib, the GYPR for Israel, who shows them around the city with two other GYPR's.
Monday Morning: Day one of FUTURE PEACE's lifelong commitment to bringing peace to the war torn Earth. All eleven Peace Keepers are in their new uniforms
in the hall outside of the N.A.E. Summit. PEACE's had arrived had arrived to the Virgin Island base weeks ago and duplicates were made. For FUTURE similar uniforms were made. Instead of having a ?skirt' they have grey slacks with a color strip down the side, and the sleeves of the shirt tops are loose and come to fitted
grey cuffs. Also on the FUTURE uniform there is no artificial jewel set into the breast as in the case of PEACE plus FUTURE has black leather dress boots instead of colored leather knee high boots. All eleven of the Peacekeepers look stunning in their uniforms. Utopia fidgets with his collar for a while, finding it's height annoying under his neck. Rhythm adjusts her light glasses on her face .
Rhythm
[A voice comes from down the hall, as a tall lanky young man approaches them with three people beside him]
Aqua
[Aqua's raven hair and deeply tanned make his bright blue eyes stunning mixed with his long, soft face. A lovely young woman with long, curly brown/blonde hair and the most perfect looking coffee cream skin speaks next as her and her associates stop in front of FUTURE PEACE.]
Aurora
[ All the peacekeepers nod to Aurora respectively. Next to speak is Arbor, A very small but, well built South American (Indian) male, who looks older than the other GYPR's he is with.]
Arbor
[Arbor's dark brown eyes twinkle as he beams a large white smile. Last of all the quite looking small Asian girl trimmed in red steps forward to introduce herself.]
Aspire
[Aspire is stopped short by Aurora's hand on her shoulder. Aspire realizes that she had just been jabbering and quits down. A few of the peacekeepers realize what has just occurred and try not to laugh. Aspire hears the start of the processional music and runs to the doorway leading into the N.A.E. Summit hall.]
Aurora
Aqua
[Aqua turns and follows in after Aspire, and then Arbor is called, lastly Aurora is called. Moments later FUTURE is called]
Announcer
[Everyone in the summit (over 500 people) including N.A.E. Representatives and GYPR's stand up and clap & cheer wildly.
The peacekeepers stare into the crowd, spellbound. THE DOORS CLOSE.]
Under Pressure
[Six days later. 10:23 PM Private meeting inside Union's bedroom. All attend. Beds are pushed up against the walls ans the teens sit in a U-shape on the floor. Some lay on pillows, others with legs crossed. All look extremely tired as they review the work they brought with them. Union, who has emerged as the leader
to the two, joint groups begins the meeting.]
Union (looking up from her computer)-
[Union looks around to the others with a restrained anger]
Union-(contin.)
[Tempo gets frustrated and blurts out]
Tempo-
[Tempo gets a look of relief on her face from expelling all her pent up tension. The others all get a look of sheer perplexion on their faces but, say nothing more about the topic. The meeting continues without any further outbursts.
Fear: Meet Chasm
[For The first month, everything seems to be going along just fine, The Peace Keepers join many of The youth groups and are making friends with many of The G.Y.P.R.'s , most of which are about their age. One person who FUTURE PEACE meets and becomes friends with is a dark haired girl named Mary A. Burner, a sixteen year old Polish exchange student. Mary becomes friends easily with all The Peace Keepers except, Crystal, who seems to feel indifferent about her. Mary visits with The Peace Keepers and develops a crush on Equinox. For The past couple weeks, since meeting Mary, several of The peacekeepers have been having horrible nightmares.]
[Late Friday night. Epic is in his bed asleep, having a nightmare. In The dream, Epic is reliving a experience from his childhood. When he was seven years old, living in Alaska, one spring he went out on The ice with his sled trailing behind him. He didn't notice that The ice was thin over a certain spot of The lake and a crack formed in The ice and he fell through into The sub-zero water. Epic splashes around and screams for help, unlike when he was a child, no one seems to be around to help him. Epic struggles to stay afloat and fight The piecing cold water that seems to be pulling him down. Epic is in more pain then he can phantom as he sinks down below The chunky water, losing
his last breath. Epic lurches silently from his sleep and expires a breath loudly before falling unconscious.]
[Saturday morning. Most off the Peace Keepers get up to go ut to breakfast. Epic is still in his bed when Polo goes in to wake him up. Polo is already dressed. Epic lies very still.]
Polo-
[Epic doesn't move. Polo reaches down and shakes Epic, softly at first then more violently. Polo becomes startled and calls to the others.]
Polo
[The others walk in, not especially startled until they see that Epic won't wake even when being hardly shook. Equinox sits down beside him and checks his vital signs. Utopia looks down at Epic, confused.]
Utopia
Equinox
[Rhythm grabs up the phone and calls to the hospital and tells them what is wrong]
Union
[Minutes later, medics come in and take Epic to the hospital. The others follow out behind them.]
[The Next morning. The alarm goes off and the teens begin to wake, when Union looks over to Rhythm in the bed across from her and sees Rhythm's stillness
she yells out. Crystal jumps awake and looks over, her mouth drops open.]
Crystal
Union
Fire
Union
Polo
Ezel
[The hospital is called and again medics come out and pick up The comma victim.]
[Sunday night. 11:48. In a group session in one of The living rooms, The teens debate going to sleep.]
Tempo
Polo
Utopia
Union
[They all nod their heads, except Equinox]
Anoki
Equinox
Union
[The teens go to sleep and when they awake The next morning they find that Polo, Ezel and Fire are unconscious. They are all immediately alarmed and call The hospital quickly. Polo and Fire lay in comas in beds side by side in their room. Tempo had woke to see Ezel choke and gasp, then fall unconscious before she could wake her.]
Tempo
[Crystal comes in and looks to Ezel, with tears in her eyes.]
Crystal
Tempo
Crystal
Tempo
Crystal
[Anoki rushes into The room.]
It's The damned dreams!!.....The dreams are what is causing The comas!
[Tempo nods to Anoki. Anoki looks at Crystal and Tempo like they are crazy for a moment before he realizes their reasoning.]
Anoki
[Utopia comes into The room and looks to Ezel and up to Anoki, Crystal, and Tempo.]
Utopia
[Medics, dressed in quarantine suits come into The apartments and spay disinfectant all over The place. The three unconscious Peace Keepers are placed in sealed stretchers and hauled of to a quarantine center and The other Peace Keepers are also taken away in quarantine units to a separate part of The hospital to be isolated.
In isolation The remaining teens, Anoki, Crystal, Union, Equinox, Utopia, and Tempo are watched for several hours by N.A.E. scientists and doctors. Their guardians are able to visit them through from The other side of a plastic wall. Zelmal has little
to say to them to make them feel better.]
Zelmal
Anoki
Scientist
Crystal
Scientist
Utopia
Zelmal (to scientist)- Come out in The hall with me right this minute!
[Zelmal and The scientist walk out into The hall and then Zelmal
explodes at The snotty young man.]
Zelmal
Scientist
Zelmal
Scientist (shocked and holding his check in pain)- You really think THEY can save this world!?
Zelmal
[The young scientist chuckles at Zelmal and walks away from her, laughing The whole way]
Zelmal
[Later that evening, Mary Burner comes to visit The teens. Mary is allowed into The room and wears a contamination suit. She walks up to The bedside of Ezel and looks down at her. Crystal comes in and sees Mary, suspicious of her, Crystal tries to read her mind to learn more about her. Crystal has tried many times every since meeting Mary, but has never been successful.]
Crystal
[Mary turns and looks up from Ezel and smiles a wicked smile]
Mary
Crystal
Mary
Crystal
Mary
Crystal
Mary
Crystal
Mary
Mary
Crystal
Mary
[Mary opens her mind and Crystal sees who she really is. Crystal jumps across the room and pins Mary to a wall with one arm and holds her other fist up.]
Crystal- Who are you!!? I know you are not Mary Burner!!!.......(reading into "Mary's " mind)...You are a child of the "Jelly Formula" like us!....You are using your gift to try to destroy us, WHY!!?
Mary (Sassy and staring up to Crystal who stands five inches taller than her.)-I am not going to lie to you at all Crystal, I am stronger than you.
Crystal- Do you want to bet!...Who are YOU!!
Mary
[Zelmal and Mr. Key come into the room with suits on and Key pulls Crystal off of Chasm (Mary) and scold her.]
Zelmal
Crystal
Mr. Key (frustrated)
[Crystal pulls against Mr. Keys hold on her and drags him some distance with her strength. Zelmal stares down Crystal, then apologizes to Chasm (Mary) and tells her to leave. As Chasm leaves Crystal lurches forward again and almost drags Mr. Key out the door with her.]
Crystal
[Anoki comes in with another scientist holding a needle of sedative. Anoki grabs a hold of Crystal while Zelmal takes the needle and sticks it into Crystal's shoulder. Crystal begins to calm in seconds]
Zelmal
Crystal
[Crystal soon falls asleep in Anoki's arms. Key helps Anoki lift up Crystal and they take Crystal and put her into a bed in the next room. Crystal is put into leather withstraints. Anoki sits beside her as Key and Zelmal stand looking down at her asleep.]
Mr. Key (upset still)
[Dr. Sarah Zelmal suddenly has a terrible thought and exits the room quickly.]
[Several hours later. A meeting is called with all the high N.A.E. officers in attendance, and the eight Guardians. Dr. Zelmal goes up to The podium and begins to speak.]
Zelmal
Some of the embryo's responded well to The "Jelly" and in five instances both embryos survived . Three such embryos came from batch I, embryo 601-01-014, baby "R"; embryo 210-01b-016, baby "D" and embryo 301-02-007, who became Polo when The decision was made to grow him with group two. From batch II another two extra embryos were produced, embryo 102-020-013 baby "O" and embryo 302-01-015 baby "L"....."O.R.L.& D. were "extra's", viable embryos that were duplicates of those already viable......Group one, FUTURE was 32 weeks after conception and group two W. PEACE was only 10 weeks past conception when the horrible happened....I had planned to grow ORLD in another ten weeks, after FUTURE was born and the artificial wombs cleansed and repaired but, they were stolen....I now believe that they were taken from the lab, where they were frozen in liquid nitrogen and injected into the wombs of women, were they matured until birth....The lab was ransacked and burned to make us believe the embryos were destroyed in the fire.....I admit that I thought they were destroyed....
Chasm, as Crystalline
learned she is being called, is embryo "O", a European female of Scandanavian decent. Embryo "R" is an Australian Aborigone male. Embryo "L" is a middle Asian female. Lastly, embryo "D" is an South East African male, he is the identical twin of Utopia.
[All the FUTURE Guardians mouths drop in shock]
Mrs. Bell (shocked)

?What do you think of the contacts? (To Equinox)
Good day Peace Keepers!......My name is Aqua, I'm the Youth Representative for New Zealand !
Hello, my name is Aurora, I'm the Youth Rep. For Egypt (laugh)....I hope I can help you as you learn about the issues facing your homelands.
Hello, I'm Arbor, the GYPR for Chile. I hope to help you with the issues we debate in Summit.
Hello, my name is Aspire. I'm the Youth Peace Representative for the Republic of China. I'm looking forward to talking to all individually and filling you in on the issues concerning your districts, China, and free trade among...
Don't be startled, Aspire is always this talkative. She is one of the best Youth Representatives China has ever had....Come on we will have to enter the summit soon.
Arbor
Come!
We go in when out names are called and then you will follow when you are called.
FUTURE.........Fire...........Union.........Tempo........Utopia..........Rhythm.......
Epic..............PEACE.............Polo..........Ezekiel.........Anoki.........Crystalline............Equinox
......I give you, people of the planet Earth....FUTURE...PEACE !!!
In the reports that I have heard in the past several days, we have not been covering enough ground in out research...We are looking very lazy and if we don't straighten up soon, the next person to come down on us may be the N.A.E. representatives or public. The only reason the G.Y.P.R.'s haven't spoken of it yet, is that they have too much respect for what we represent and the weight we carry! What will it take for us to catch up with the currant topics, so that we know what is going on !?
I know I'm not the only one who has noticed!!
We are swamped Union! There is so much happening in the world. Between the wars, ethnic cleansing, racial hate crimes, murders, suicides, addictions, starvation, and disease to only name a handful, we are playing an incredible game of catch up!!.....We have read and learned more in the past week than most people probably do in a whole year! I haven't slept more than four hours a night the past six days, neither has anyone else, including you. We are all extremely tired, we all have bags and circles under our eyes as proof of our dedication.....You bitting off our heads isn't going to make things any better or faster. I'll be up to task in a couple of days and plan to sleep the entire weekend. Come back and yell at me in four days if you like!!
The Peace Keepers do catch up with the currant topics and issues within the next few days and come back to the N.A.E. summit on Monday fresh and clear on what needs to be done. No longer at a disadvantage in the discussions, the Peace Keepers now find that they enjoy the meetings. The teens also join sporting, and artistic groups and participate with the Youth Reps. in non formal situations. The Youth Representatives take pride in the wealth of talent from all over The globe they have amongst their numbers. The Youth Summit in cooperation with The N.A.E. hold recitals, operas, art exhibits, readings, ballets, concerts, symphonies, plays and sport events all throughout The summit months, on weekends and evenings.]
Wake up Epic, we are going out to breakfast! Come on lazy!! (nudging Epic)
Hey!! Get in here, Epic won't wake up !!
What is wrong with him, he was fine last night?
He's alive but, unconscious.....He's in a comma, we need to call the hospital, it might be some sort of stroke.
Epic is healthy, his only complaint lately has been weird dreams....But I've had odd dreams lately too.
Again!
She is just laying there! Rhythm wakes at sound of a pin drop.
[Ezel and Tempo are first to come in, followed by the boys, still in their PJs. They are all shocked.]
Tempo
What is this, musical comma?
Did you shake her?
No! you know Rhythm is a light sleeper, The alarm didn't wake her, something is wrong!
Let's call The hospital, before we do anything else!
I don't get it!
I am not going to sleep, when people aren't waking up The next morning!
It is some sort of coincidence, we need to sleep for The summit tomorrow!
Why, so we can have more nightmares!
Has everyone been having nightmares?
Maybe it is stress! We have all been under stress a lot lately.
What about me then, I've slept like a baby The past week and a half? You all are The one's with The nightmares, not me!
Anoki
I don't know, but we can't let this stop us from doing our job.
I agree, we need to continue to perform our jobs. I think The dreams will go away.....Let's not focus on The commas, just hope Epic and Rhythm wake up soon. They are being well cared for in The N.A.E. hospital.
Why is this happening!?
Polo and Fire are also unconscious in their room.
She was having a bad dream and then she choked and gasped for breath and fell unconscious.
(running up to Tempo, almost excited) You seen it happen!?
Yes! I woke when she was calling out a name in her sleep......She was crying "Willamina"!
Anoki!! Anoki!!
Well, The medics are on their way......We need to wait for them!
The N.A.E. is putting us under quarantine until they figure out what is causing The comas.
The isolation is just until they can pin down The nature of The comas and cure The others.
We know! But I don't think they can be cured so easily!
(brashly)You'll stay here until a cure is found!
What is your problem!? (angerly to The snotty young scientist)
We don't know what diseases you may develop since you're mutants.
Mutants!! We're ...( Utopia dashes at The plastic wall in anger)
You listen here, they have been through a lot and you have no right to talk to them that way. If you ever use a degrading tone with any of them again I will make sure you are thrown out of The N.A.E.!! DO YOU HERE ME!!?
They are mutants, your "Jelly" made sure of that!
(slaps The young man) Damn you! You are brilliant but, you are so ignorant!! They are more than mutants. They are this worlds saviors and you treat them like they are creatures not people.
Yes!!
(looking up, as to heaven) God, do I hate ignorance!...(looking to The scientist in anger).... Next time I may let them strangle you for awhile.
Why are you here? Aren't you afraid you'll catch our "Disease"?
What do you think?
You shouldn't be here!
Oh, I doubt I'll catch anything!
Well Utopia and I have been ready to attack any invader all day today.
I was told when I came in. You should have beat The scientist to death for his comment!
Mmmm!!....No! That is against everything we believe in!
Too bad, I like fights!
Bet you do!
So do you, don't with strain it Crystal!
Crystal
With strain what?.....My frustration.....I have plenty of that....This mystery illness is driving my madd!
But it is much more than that Crystal.....The violent, horrible dreams won't stop will they...You pray they will but they don't!
( not fully listening to Mary) What!....What did you say?(Crystal looks into Mary's eyes and attempts to read her mind again.)
Nothing!
.....My real name is Chasm....There are more than just me. (laughs) You are not the only products of the "Jelly Formula"!
What is wrong with you, Crystal!?
SHE is the cause of comas.....She (pointing to Chasm) is some sort of anti-Peace Keeper...
Shut up! go back to your bed!
Her name is Chasm, she's a Peace Keeper gone bad! She is causing the bad dreams that are making us go into comas. Don't you see, I read her mind, I know....She even confirmed that there are others like her!
This is for the best!
She's a peacekeeppppppeeer!!
Only twelve Peace Keepers were made and the eleven surviving are all accounted for...(thinkin aloud) She can't be a Peace Keeper Crystalline! (to Crystal, who sleeps and himself)
It seems that today, we have finally come into contact with one of the "Lost Peace Keepers"..... She used the aliace of Mary A. Burner, a Polish Exchange student to get close to FUTURE PEACE....(clearing her throat)..If what Crystalline has said is true, this "lost Peace Keeper" is apart of a group, most likely composed of the other three "Lost Peace Keepers" as well...(pause)... Crystalline, identified her as Chasm, it is safe to assume that she was right......At the time when I was head of the operation to create the peacekeepers genetic material was taken from volunteers of peak brilliance from all over the globe. The plans were to create a male a female representative for each continent. Since there was a 40% mortality rate after the embryo's were injection with the "Jelly", two embryo's for each representative were created and injected....
He has a twin! NEXT: ???? ON TASK ????
