District 2pi?

I just saw District 9 in the theater and I thought is was brilliant. So why don't you start your film with a "home video" that a young P-Fleet Cadet has recorded for his family in the last days before he boards the Helvetica for his first mission. This is a good excuse to explain the history of P-Fleet and the Helvetica's construction to his (or her?) narrow-minded folks at home.

If the Cadet is a bit of a dumbass himself or if he's very excited, or has a funny accent (Schwarzenegger anyone?) - or ALL of the aforementioned, thinking about it - it could be really catchy and entertaining and draw the viewers into the story. Just like it happens in District 9, hehhe ;-)
