LMS VII - Unnamed Search and Rescue Screenplay

hello! not sure if i'm actually ever going to work on this, but I have characters and a plot idea, so here it is lol. this project is based on the game "Stormworks: Build and Rescue", but I've taken creative liberties with the settings and set it around 10 years before the events of the game, with actual lore, since in-game, there isn't much to work off of. This is also a sequel to my unfinished screenplay
"Impact Zone II", which is about a volcanic eruption in the same setting that creates a stage for the characters of this one to work off of.

-mostly hard action/ near-future sci-fi
-boats and planes
-megacorps are evil


more details will come soon lol

PLOT SUMMARY (WIP)

A marine scientist, and an SAR operative, are sent to investigate a marine anomaly in the Scottish Isles. However, Stormworks Co., the drilling company that operates in these waters, has other ideas. With corporate mercenaries on their tail and a knowledgeable ship nerd that they rescue as help, can they expose this great conspiracy and bring Scotland to justice before time runs out?
 

BACKGROUND
In the late 2010s with the fallout of Brexit hurting Scottish workers, a secession referendum was held and succeeded, creating a new nation, the Democratic Republic of Scotland. Less than a decade later, though they’ve kept in place much of the infrastructure present from the UK days, the new government is still very much strapped for personnel and cash. Therefore, they’ve decided to cross-train their marine departments to also be proficient in basic naval operations, as they are often needed to do so. They have also entered an agreement with the multinational Stormworks Corporation, a large drilling company with mysterious origins, promising profit. However, a string of recent incidents has shaken the public and the government's faith in Stormworks, and they have begun to interact with other oil companies and independent ventures. This of course, is to their great disdain. The DRS government is weak and already rocked by a large scandal: in Impact Zone II, a volcanic eruption occurred due to corporate negligence, straining public trust and DRS resources. Stormworks assets control a large portion of the government's leaders. However, they've discovered something much greater than just oil in these waters, and will do almost anything to protect their investment.
