Rei's Rescue - The problem with silence

In the stirring opening chapter of the original long-form version of Rome's Revolution, the first thing you, the reader, encounters is the near-collision of a Vuduri space tug, just emerging from a PPT with the tumbling, out-of-control Ark II.

In every other science fiction movie, you'd hear the Red Alert, Collision Detector kind of klaxon to pump up the adrenaline, right from the jump. But the Vuduri have no need for klaxons. All of them are connected to the computers and various devices through their blece (display board) and stilo (stylus) which are data interfaces built right into their nervous system.

If I were ever going to make a movie of this, I'd throw the klaxon in anyway. I'd make up some excuse like it would be for mandasurte who were accompanying them and they just forgot to turn it off. I just don't think you can have an exciting near-collision without a warning siren going off in the background.
