THE CONQUEST IS OVER. I sent a letter to JMS asking their permission to write my
movie screenplay. This was the second of such letters. The first I sent approximately a year ago, but I presented it
poorly and unprofessionally. That is why you didn't know about it. I was embarrassed by it. The second letter was sent
in a very professional manner and I presented it with much more care and concern for presentation than the latter. This is the reponse
I received from JMS.

Dear Christopher,
Further to your letter of November 26, 1999. We currently have both a Feature film and
Telemovie in development based on our OCEAN GIRL series.
It is important that you understand we own worldwide rights in all media in both our
OCEAN GIRL series and any spin offs.
Please do not continue to write and develop projects based on OCEAN GIRL or we will
be required to seek legal counsel and enforce our rights under copyright law.
Yours Sincerely,
(signed)

So, I guess that's it. It's over for me. The conquest has failed. Four years of hard work, research, and
defending this screenplay ended in a matter of six sentences. I guess the only thing
left to say is "Who wants it as FanFic?" I will write out the story, that way it is not the
summary, but the real words they are breathing, the real emotions they are feeling,
and the real meaning you can see.
But from the old, I will start anew. There are stories to write, other
ways to show you humans the real magic of Atlantis and the incredible gifts
you all hold.
Sincerely,
Christopher J. Mogel

"In the begging, there was hope, peace, and prosperity. In the beginning,
there was Atlantis. The place where the Humans and Ocean people lived to-
gether for a thousand years. Then one day, an evil force divided the humans
and Ocean people and the Ocean People returned to their world. The great
continent of Atlantis sank into the waters of the Atlantic Ocean, only to be
remember in myths and legends and deemed impracticle by minds of later years.
All hope was gone, having left with the Ocean People.
Nine thousand years later the hope returns in the last descendents of the
Ocean People from Atlantis. Their mission, their conquest, is to find Atlantis
and raise her before the evil force that destroyed Atlantis before, destroys
both worlds for all time. The Conquest of Atlantis."
