In a distant future, Titan has been colonized.

The Plot

Despite ground bases being of extensive size and comprising of entire cities, most of the intersystem private traffic and business happens aboard orbiting stations where shuttles vehicles fly back and forth to deliver important goods to main cargo ship back to Mars and Other Colonies.

The pilot of this small shuttle is forced to leave the vehicle and try to activate the emergency power just a few hundred meters from its current dock. In an attempt to try to reach the main station the panic takes his toll, his eyesight get worse…he reaches the main station and enters the room just in time to apprehend that the all station is jeopardized …

Among the Amazing and Terrific Technology used to film this project is worth to note the use of the following:

  • A router, (lights on the back ports)
  • A DVD Laser Disk, (red flashing light with moving parts)
  • A PC motherboard internal components and lights
  • A digital Alarm Clock
