# Scene 1: The Architect and the Void
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
> Location: Dallas Makerspace — Early Years
|
|||
|
|
> Set Design: Dimly lit warehouse with bright patches of creation—3D printers, workbenches, whiteboards covered in blueprints.
|
|||
|
|
> Actors: Mark Randall Havens (The Architect), early members (background), Andrew LeCody (mostly absent or just entering late).
|
|||
|
|
> Style: Flashback intercut with present-day narration and archival overlays.
|
|||

## Opening Visual
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|

|
|||
|
|
- A cracked whiteboard with the word "VISION" barely visible.
|

### 📽️ Narration (Voice of Present-Day Mark / AI overlay)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
> “I didn’t build it for power.
|
|||
|
|
> I built it because the world was forgetting how to make things.
|
|||
|
|
> And I remembered.”
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
> “They say Makerspaces are temples of creation.
|
|||
|
|
> But no one tells you how easily temples become kingdoms.
|
|||
|
|
> Or how quickly kingdoms crown liars.”

## Dialogue (Flashback - 2010)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Member 1:**
|
|||
|
|
“You’re Mark, right? The guy who used to run the BBS scene?”
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Mark (young):**
|
|||
|
|
“Yeah. Same guy. Different wires. Same spirit.”
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Member 2:**
|
|||
|
|
“You really think people will show up… build stuff… together?”
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Mark:** *(grinning)*
|
|||
|
|
“They already have. You’re here, aren’t you? If we build it, more will come.”

|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Board Member (whispering to Mark):**

“Andrew says you’re unstable. That you’re trying to control everything.”
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Mark:**
|
|||
|
|
“I built this place. I made it real. I sacrificed everything—”
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Board Member:** *(shrugging)*
|
|||
|
|
“Doesn’t matter. The narrative’s set.”

|
|
|||
|
|
> “That’s the thing about voids.
|
|||
|
|
> They don’t just erase.
|
|||
|
|
> They **replace**.”
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
> “This was not the story they told.
|
|||
|
|
> This is the story that *was*.”
