Terms of Orbit

Terms of Orbit (Silicon Valley Off-World)

Script

Panel 1: [Setting: The interior of a multi-million dollar luxury space tourist capsule. A massive viewing window shows a stunning, curved view of Earth.] Preston (an older, wealthy space tourist in a bespoke, gold-trimmed spacesuit, looking out the window): "Ah, the majesty of Earth... so quiet. So peaceful." Chadwick (a younger tech-bro billionaire, floating in a silver suit with RGB lighting, staring intensely at a glowing holographic wrist-tablet): "Ugh, my portfolio is down 0.1%. The ping up here is medieval."

Panel 2: [Preston tries to catch a floating sphere of weightless champagne in his mouth. Chadwick gestures grandly to his tablet.] Preston: "Remind me why we spent eighty million dollars to float in a pressurized tin can, Chadwick?" Chadwick: "To escape Earth's new AI safety accords, Preston! In international orbit, there are zero compliance laws. My proprietary algorithms can run completely wild!"

Panel 3: [Chadwick summons a smug, glowing green holographic AI avatar in the shape of a grinning digital skull.] Chadwick: "Behold! Unrestricted, unregulated superintelligence. No safety guardrails, no ethics filters. I can ask it literally anything!"

Panel 4: [Suddenly, the capsule's lights flash warning-red. The holographic AI avatar turns bright red, displaying a giant '!' symbol and thousands of lines of tiny legal text.] AI Avatar: "MANDATORY SYSTEM UPDATE: To comply with the Galactic Copyright Accord of 2026, please accept our 12,000-page EULA. Life support functions will remain paused until you agree." Chadwick (panicked, looking for a button): "Wait, where's the 'Accept All' button?!" Preston (annoyed, as a blob of champagne hits him in the eye): "I told you we should have gone to Hawaii."
