Commander John Storm RN, hails the 'KoolArctic' British Antarctic survey ship from the helm of the Elizabeth Swann. John, Dan and Charley, are adjusting to the sub zero South Pole temperatures, by dressing in warmer gear. John has always been a fan of the famous explorers: Sir Ernest Shackleton and Captain Robert Scott. But never thought he'd visit Antarctica.

Antarctica is melting at an accelerated pace, ironic that the burning of fossil fuels, is revealing prehistoric life forms that were safely frozen in time. But now are being freed, to continue where they left off, to become the dominant species on earth. As a warlike race, that is how humans tend to view any life-form that threatens their plundering of the planet.

In this (fictional) John Storm 'Monster' adventure, the ocean adventurer wears his Paleo Anthropologist hat somewhat askew, extending it a little further to encompass paleontology and a fossilized specimen. A prehistoric insect, resembling a giant vespoid, or ponerine (ant). John is near obsessed with his DNA collection called 'The Ark,' that is safely stored onboard his trusty ship, the Elizabeth Swann. Providing a very handy database, for scientific research.

If you like this original short story, the Foundation can arrange to go straight to script for you. See options.

Prehistoric giant insects, wipe out the larger animals on earth, 66 million years ago, when food became scarce, and the temperatures plummeted. It this fictional short story, it was a cretaceous battleground, that ended with the extinction of the dinosaurs, setting the scene for the dominance of man. Leading to global warming, and the imminent demise of Homo Sapiens, due to myopic policies. Unless, world leaders heed the warnings, before it is too late. This original story concept, may be adapted to many different scenarios, including animations and live actions screenplays. 

The basic monster movie premise may be adapted and interpreted in terms of scripting; a number of different ways. Focusing on giant prehistoric insects that outlasted the dinosaurs, being coaxed back into the present. Alternatively, the theme can be a time travel film, where the protagonists and antagonists go back to a time in the past history of planet earth, to interact with (and witness) first hand, the fight for survival between the giants such as Tyrannosaurus Rex, and the Sectasaurs. As per the copyright illustrations permeating this website.

His DNA enhancements give John a unique advantage in hostile environments, Storm is able to endure cold climates, as a virtual super-human, thanks to some clever German scientists aiming at a New World Order, a fresh start to the corrupted and bankrupt nations, that worship worthless paper money, and a digital cashless society based on financial enslavement of the electorate, by the world's banks. With the full cooperation of ostensibly democratic Governments.

Our hero is possessed of a super-nano-computer called CyberCore Genetica™ which, when coupled with Hal, the Elizabeth Swann's onboard AI, allows John to recreate virtually any species of flora or fauna. Including splicing and DNA enhancement. All he needs is a DNA sample. And that is what three teams of scientist are hoping to make off with, at any cost, pitting China against Sweden and a Multi-National group. A window of opportunity for the unscrupulous, only made possible by the melting ice at the South Pole.

Developmental inspiration for this story was the original ant movie, Them, from 1954, the 1979 Alien film, the 1933 & 2005 King Kong movies, and the Japanese Godzilla series, with the 1993 Jurassic Park and Jurassic World series, demonstrating that a well made sci-fi monster romp is not only entertaining for audiences, but also profitable for studios. In the Antarctic, nobody can hear you scream!
