Turn 83 (January 1981):
It all began, with a phone call. "Mike please tell me we didn't discover some Alien crap from Fox on our property again?"
"What the hell, no, not that, it's the directors and George, they're holding court." That was a surprise.
"Alright, um… are they back?"
"For a given value yes… You'd better come down."
They must have spent the vacation being productive. But then again, you also realized something was wrong when every one of the directors was there.
But that wasn't the only good news.
The Writers Room Rolls:

Back to the Future Part 2: Quality:
D100 + 200 => 278
Robert was working with one of his friends, Bob Gale, and… the script for Back to the Future was pretty damn good… but this one had left you with questions.
And you wanted to know about other things… like the time travel aspects.

John was on break for filming Red Dawn, and had a few days to play with, and he locked himself into a room with Dave Alister, and a copy of the Brothers Grimm.
He wrote that script in a few hours with Dave and it's been enlightening.
He called it "Cinema Therapy." and judging by how he seemed a lot better... you think its working.

Dave Alister Wrote:
Star Wars: Death Troopers: Quality: D100 + 200 => 289
Dave for his part… went behind Georges' back and wrote a horror movie. About Zombies in Star Wars, and he really went all out on the gory, gruesome details.
Also, he wanted you to be in it as a surprise cameo, but that seemed far-fetched for even you.
Why would Han Solo be in a zombie film? But the story itself was great and had the potential to show the evils of the empire.

Paul Schrader Wrote:
Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters: Quality:
D100 + 200 => 285
You… didn't know anything about Mishima, and his books were not exactly something you would ever read.
But that was compelling to say the least.
-------------------------------------------------------
And that was the good news before you arrived to everyone's door.
"Alright, why am I here everyone? I thought you guys said you wanted a break?"
Steve was the one who spoke. "We did. And we had a break… but-"
"What bullshit are you going to drag me in this time guys?" You asked as everyone looked down to their feet. "Oh god, you're serious."
"Everyone wants to have you star in the film." Martin said. "Except Steve, he's got Indiana Jones and that Alien thing he wants to do."
You looked to Steve. "I thought you were busy?"
"Well. Inspiration hit me, what can I say."
You then looked to George. "Did you tell him about going back to Tunisia?"
At that pandemonium broke and Steve then turned to George. "Wait we're going back!"
As you turned away, you just said. "This is what you get Steve, for focusing on the new guys to be the only ones available for Mike, the next Star Wars film goes back to the Desert. Cause I'm going to miss evening Mass for this meeting."
Steve then looked to George. "There better be a good reason George!"
You shut the door, content with the chaos you created. If they wanted to talk to you about working on films, they should have sent it to your desk, at least it would be proper.
But at least everyone was back for the most part. Even if they only wanted to work with you.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
At the Colombia/former Warner Lot, things, however, were getting… strange.
And by that, you meant you had a great idea. "We need to top the stunt work of the First Film." You said. "And how the hell am I going to do that. I have a batmobile yes… but… I also really want to fight 100 people at the same time."
Kathleen looked at you worried. "Um… that was just a joke Bruce!"
"Hey, it's what Batman would do?" You smiled. "Wouldn't he?"
