          EXT. CLASSROOM - DAY



It's a group of twelve-year-olds, serious and well dressed.

They sit on their heels under a sparsely elegant tent, small

wooden desks with embedded screens in front of them. The

tent is on a lawn surrounded by lush foliage. People walk

about and vehicles glide quietly overhead. A utopian vista.
          GIRL

          Now that the war's over, our

soldiers get to come home, yes?
          TEACHER

          Some of them. Some will be

stationed on the rim planets as

Peace Enforcers.
          BOY

          I don't understand. Why were the

Independents even fighting us?

Why wouldn't they look to be more

civilized?
          TEACHER

          That's a good question. Does

anybody want to open on that?
          GIRL

          I hear they're cannibals.
          ANOTHER BOY
