Ideas for pilot story

A scratchpad for some pilot story synopses/ideas.

* * *

Ellie and Suna compete for the best coverage of Mars Day, the celebration of humanity first setting foot on another planet. They continually try to one-up each other.

-

Ellie interviews the mayor of Gerod City, who has just opened a new sports complex. The building isn't all fun and games, though, as it seems to be harboring a secret.

-

The owner of a large defense business in the area has gone mad and is rampaging through the city with a powered exoskeleton suit meant for excavation. He speaks only in metaphors, which Ellie tries to decipher to find out why he's gone mad.

-

For some reason, more and more people are becoming narcoleptic in Gerod City. Ellie needs to find out the cause before a disaster happens.

-

A cult is brewing that follows the exploits of future musicians Precious Metals and many members of the cult like to rock out a little too much. A string of robberies perpetrated by cult members raises questions about the intentions of the band, and Ellie tries to uncover the truth.

-

Gerod City is home to the 2168 Symposium of Interplanetary Scientists, where a brawl occurs on the floor between nerd factions. What caused it? Nobody will talk! Ellie has to crack it before Suna does.
