Title: Macross Plus & the Seven Demons: A Vancouver Org Tale
Featuring Ron Woodward, Joe Jukic, Greg, Tom, and Michelle Jukic

EXT. SCIENTOLOGY VANCOUVER ORG – SUNSET

A golden glow falls over the white pillars of the Vancouver Org. Inside, the usually austere training room has been transformed into a miniature airfield. Macross Plus fighter models—YF-19s and YF-21s—zoom on wires, tracked by homemade motion rigs.

INT. ORG HALL – EVENING

Joe Jukic and Ron Woodward control their fighter jets with childlike joy. Greg, the documentarian of the crew, films from a corner, capturing the roaring laughter and sound effects.

JOE (grinning):
“Missiles away, Ron! You’re toast!”

RON (laughing):
“Not if I go full Isamu mode!”

They recreate dogfights with perfect sound effects—VRRMMM-PEW-PEW-PEW! Fighter jets arc through the air. It’s not just a game. It’s liberation.

EXT. TOM’S APARTMENT – NIGHT

Tom, watching Greg’s Instagram story alone on his cracked phone, scowls. At first, it’s envy.

TOM (muttering):
“Those nerds... having fun without me?”

Then, anger.

“Why wasn’t I invited?”

Then greed.

“Those Macross models... I want one. No—I want them all.”

He tosses his phone across the room, but it lands perfectly upright on a copy of Dianetics. He stares at it. The room is heavy. The demon of sloth lounges in the corner, yawning, wrapped in a weighted blanket of self-pity.

INT. ORG HALL – NEXT DAY

Tom still hasn’t arrived. Joe sighs. He walks to the window and calls him.

JOE:
“Hey, man. Listen. We miss you. Ron’s got a limited edition YF-21. You’d love it.”

TOM (defensive):
“I’m not begging to hang out with you guys.”

JOE (smiling):
“Did I mention Michelle will be here? I told her you might stop by.”

A long pause. Lust beats sloth. Tom’s eyes flash.

INT. TOM’S APARTMENT – LATER

The demon of sloth blocks the doorway, oozing doubt.

SLOTH DEMON:
“Stay. Scroll. Nap. There’s no war worth fighting.”

But Tom grabs his jacket, glares it down, and crushes the demon with a model plane box labeled: “Macross Plus – Do You Remember Love?”

INT. ORG KITCHEN – DUSK

Greg stirs a pot. Joe slices garlic like a gangster from Goodfellas. Michelle places a platter of linguini with clam sauce on the table, basil freshly torn.

MICHELLE:
“Tom likes it with a little lemon. Right?”

JOE (smirking):
“He remembers everything about you. Trust me.”

INT. ORG HALL – NIGHT

Tom arrives, winded but determined. The gang welcomes him. Ron tosses him a remote flight controller. The YF-19 lights up in blue LEDs.

Tom doesn’t overindulge. He doesn’t boast. He doesn’t even ask to keep the models.

He just plays.

He laughs.

He remembers love.

CLOSING SCENE – CAMERA POV (GREG’S LENS)

The four of them race their fighter jets around the hall, with Michelle on the couch, smiling softly.

A slow pan upward as Joe writes in a notebook:

"One demon down. Six to go. Next up: envy, pride... maybe wrath. But tonight? We fly."

FADE TO BLACK.
