INT. SICKBAY. NIGHT
SHAW is nearly unconscious but is heavy gasping and sweating heavily. Both DAVID and MUDOW stand at each side of SHAW and they both are wearing bio-hazard suits. SHAW’S stomach is cut open and DAVID enters the wound with a pair of large medical pliers.
DAVID
I’ve got it
MUDOW
Be careful
DAVID brings the medical instrument out of her belly and with it he brings out an organism.
MUDOW
My god!
As DAVID brings the organism out of her belly, the wires slide back inside SHAW and come out of the wound. The organism resembles what appears to be a baby but it doesn’t look exactly human. It has a much larger head with strange markings on it, it’s eyes are large and sunken, it’s body is black and slimy and wires are attached to it from inside SHAW’S wounds.
MUDOW
What is that?
DAVID
I don’t know
DAVID takes the squirming organism to an incubator box and places it inside. He then shuts the top.
Outside the sickbay through the windows JANEK can be seen.
JANEK
Will she be okay?
MUDOW
Her life support seems stable. We’ll patch her up and she should be fine
Both MUDOW and DAVID stare at each other.
MUDOW
What the hell is this place!
INT. LAB. NIGHT
DAVID arrives in his laboratory with the incubator box and places it inside a hatch and closes it. He then makes his way to the ‘microwave’ type hatch and looks at the monitor next to it. He looks closer and it reads “Examination complete. Report in data base’.
INT. SICKBAY. NIGHT
SHAW is unconscious. HOLLOWAY opens his eyes and begins gasping. MUDOW rushes over to him.
MUDOW
Holloway!
HOLLOWAY
We have to get Elizabeth!
MUDOW
She’s here
HOLLOWAY
Where?
HOLLOWAY looks over at a blood soaked SHAW and frowns and sighs.
MUDOW
It’s okay she’ll be fine. I’ve just put her under
INT. LAB. NIGHT
DAVID sits by his desk when MUDOW and CHANCE walk in. They are pushing a wheelchair with HOLLOWAY sitting on it.
DAVID
Mr Holloway, You made it!
HOLLOWAY
I feel like I’m dead
The trio gather around him and a weak weary HOLLOWAY forces a smile.
MUDOW
He’s fine. He’ll just be suffering from the biggest hangover in his entire life
HOLLOWAY
God damn I’m hungry
MUDOW
I’ll go get you something
MUDOW leaves the room.
HOLLOWAY
Thanks. I wish I had your strength David
DAVID
I’m not like you though
HOLLOWAY
Oh yeah I forgot. You’re a robot
DAVID smiles.
DAVID
I prefer the term artificial person
HOLLOWAY touches DAVID’S face. DAVID looks up at him with a child like expression.
HOLLOWAY
You feel so…
DAVID
Human?
HOLLOWAY
So what’s happened since I’ve been out?
INT. SHAW’S VISION
We zoom through the deep dark tunnel of the Derelict.
We are now seeing a view of the Planet Earth.
We are now travelling through the Derelict tunnel.
We are now inside the Derelict power room.
We are now looking at the planet Earth.
We are now looking at a strange egg.
We are now looking at the planet Earth and can see the ‘U’ shaped alien craft approaching it.
We are now looking up at the Alien HEAD monument and it turns and looks down at us. It’s eyes glow and it’s mouth moves and it’s deep loud voice speaks.
VOICE
Elizabeth!
INT. SICKBAY. NIGHT
SHAW wakes up. She is sweating and gasping. She forces her bloody body out of the table and begins limping toward the door.
INT. LAB. NIGHT
SHAW walks into the laboratory and the trio look up at her.
SHAW
We were wrong, we were so wrong!
She collapses to her knees and falls flat on the ground.
EXT. PROMETHEUS. NIGHT
The ship sits still in the midst of the violent howling winds.
INT. VICKERS ROOM. NIGHT
VICKERS sits at her desk staring into a monitor as it reads: AWAITING ORDERS.
Only several seconds pass when a new sentence appears on screen which reads: Message received.
VICKERS clicks on it and it reads:
ACTIVATE SPECIAL ORDER 937
VICKERS glare is interrupted by FIFIELD entering.
VICKERS quickly turns off the monitor.
VICKERS
What is it?
FIFIELD
Ma’am it’s Shaw
VICKERS
What about her?
FIFIELD
I don’t know. David asked to me to get you
VICKERS
I’ll be right there
INT. SICKBAY. NIGHT
SHAW is lying in on a table. She is awake and more stable. Everyone is standing around her.
MUDOW
Can you hear me?
SHAW
Yes
MUDOW
How many finger am I holding up?
SHAW
Three
MUDOW
Good
Everyone is inside the room staring at her.
JANEK
What happened out there?
SHAW
Milburn!
She begins sobbing.
JANEK
Shaw tell us what happened
SHAW
I can’t remember. All I remember is waking up on some horrible room and I was naked
VICKERS
Go on?
SHAW
I found my clothes and put them on. Then it came for me
MUDOW
What came for you?
SHAW
I don’t know who he is
JANEK
He?
SHAW
He spoke to me… In my head and told me everything. He… Showed me a way out of the ship
VICKERS
The ship? What ship?
SHAW
It asked me questions about it. He told me to tell my people to leave here and never come back but it told me… Before we leave give it back anything we stole and it will give us back Milburn and the right to live
Everyone stands around staring at each other.
DAVID
We better do as it says. I’ll gather the stuff we brought back and take it to the structure myself
VICKERS
Are you kidding me? No offence to Miss Shaw here, I’m sure she went through something bad but she’s under the influence of drugs. And the things we brought back are worth a lot to the company
FIFIELD
Screw the company. Milburn’s still out there!
VICKERS
I understand but you’re not looking at the bigger picture
JANEK
David are you volunteering to do this?
DAVID
Yes sir
JANEK
Permission granted
VICKERS
I gave no such order
JANEK
Well Miss Vickers I don’t give a fuck! David how long can you leave?
