DAVID stands at the doorway and looks inside. This room is massive and hundreds of ten foot tall Oval shaped organic cages can be seen on the ground, walls and ceiling.
INT. DERELICT CORRIDOR 2. NIGHT
DAVID approaches the second doorway and looks in.
INT. ORRERY. NIGHT
DAVID is standing at the entrance staring inside this large vast dome shaped room. There are a series of holes at each side of the room. In the centre of this room is a large circular platform with four Sarcophagus type mechanical coffins on it. A large mechanical control panel is also present. DAVID approaches and steps onto the platform. He approaches the mechanical device and touches it. The device lights up and he touches a button. Behind DAVID a Hologram of ZEUS appears at the centre of the platform rising from a small glowing bulb on the floor. DAVID approaches it and studies it. It has a small symbol above it of a ‘U’ shape. DAVID touches the hologram and it suddenly shifts and a series of blue lights appear all over the ORRERY showing a large holographic map of the Star system. DAVID uses his hands to manipulate the holograms. He pushes and the Holographic map then changes from the ZEUS star system and into a holographic map of the entire Galaxy. The ZEUS star system and dozens of others have a small ‘U’ symbol above them and all of the one’s with the ‘U’ symbol are glowing red.
DAVID keeps his sight set on particular glowing star system and he frowns in confusion. He approaches it and touches it and suddenly he is looking at a very similar Star system with 8 planets and a very similar Sun in the middle. It is now clear that this is OUR star system. Only one of these planets glows and has the
’U’ shape symbol on it. DAVID approaches it and touches it. A large HOLOGRAM shows up in the centre of the platform and shows the planet EARTH.
DAVID
Earth!
We are at the doorway looking at DAVID staring at the hologram of EARTH when suddenly he turns and faces our direction. A 13 foot tall Being blocks our view.
INT. CARGO BAY. NIGHT
JANEK, RAVEL, CHANCE, RAY, JOSHUA, FIFIELD and VICKERS wait with their weapons as the Rover comes to a halt. DAVID exits the vehicle.
DAVID
Milburn’s in the back
FIFIELD
Is he alive?
DAVID
Yes. He’s fine
JANEK
Let’s get him to the sickbay
INT. SICKBAY. NIGHT
MILBURN is now on the examination table. MUDOW and FIFIELD stand over him while DAVID sits at a table looking into a monitor.
DAVID
This is strange
MUDOW
What?
DAVID
It’s his blood type. It’s changed
MUDOW
How’s that possible?
DAVID
I don’t know. His genes are changing
INT. SHAW’S ROOM. NIGHT
A weak and sickly looking SHAW is now dressed in her skin tight blue ‘Weyland’ suit. He groans as she exits the room.
INT. MESS HALL. NIGHT
HOLLOWAY sits on his wheelchair by the table. SHAW enters and approaches him.
SHAW
Holloway?
HOLLOWAY
Elizabeth
SHAW
What happened to you?
HOLLOWAY
Why do I look different?
SHAW
My god. I’m so sorry Holloway. What happened on that ship?
HOLLOWAY
I don’t know but I want to get off this rock as soon as possible
INT. DERELICT CHAMBER. NIGHT
We can only see the back of the large 13 foot tall being. One of the many large organic cages is lowered from the ceiling by organic slimy wires.
INT. CARGO BAY CORRIDOR. NIGHT
RAY walks over to one of the Sarcophagus wall capsules.
RAY
Okay take me down
INT. CONTROL ROOM. NIGHT
DAVID, JANEK, RAVEL, CHANCE, MUDOW, FIFIELD, JOSHUA, SHAW, HOLLOWAY and VICKERS are all in the room. Everyone is looking at DAVID.
JANEK
Okay David start from the beginning and explain to these people what you just told me
DAVID
The computer and I have translated and collated all of the evidence we’ve found so far. The computer was able to translate most of the hieroglyphics and I was able to put two and two together.
EXT. PROMETHEUS. NIGHT
The Cargo Bay lowers from the ship and lands on the ground.
INT. CONTROL ROOM. NIGHT
DAVID
These Beings
JANEK
Terraformers as you called them
DAVID
Right. These Terraformers have terraformed dozens, maybe thousands of planets around the galaxy. This planet is one of them; one of their latest
INT. CARGO BAY. NIGHT
RAY is now in the cargo bay. He walks over the closed door.
INT. CONTROL ROOM. NIGHT
DAVID
They were in the middle of terraforming this world when they found indigenous life forms
FIFIELD
Wait that’s impossible. Nothing could live here. The planets too hostile for life
DAVID
For humans yes, more Earth like creatures yes but life finds a way to adapt and evolve. These Terraformers found thousands of these life forms and captured them and locked them in cages. They began manipulating these life forms DNA and eventually created something, some kind of hybrid off spring
FIFIELD
What do you mean?
DAVID
These Beings spliced their own DNA with that of the indigenous life forms to create a new species. Their plan was to create an intelligent species. They’ve spliced their DNA with many creatures around the galaxy to create new species. But this one went wrong, very wrong
INT. CARGO BAY. NIGHT
RAY presses a button and the door begins to open.
INT. CONTROL ROOM. NIGHT
DAVID
They didn’t just create a new species. They created a weapon. A biomechanical weapon that could wipe out an entire planet’s population. They created thousands upon thousands of them. After one of their crafts left this planet something went wrong and one of these weapons got loose and began killing the crew. The Being piloting the craft crashed it on a nearby planetoid and sent a warning to the craft on this planet
INT. CARGO BAY. NIGHT
A confused and startled RAY is at the top of the ramp and staring outside. He is looking at an organic cage of some sort. He approaches it.
INT. CONTROL ROOM. NIGHT
DAVID
So this planet was therefore quarantined and abandoned
JANEK
Tell them the last bit you told me
DAVID looks at the surprised and weary crew.
DAVID
When I was inside the Alien craft I found some sort of Orrery. It showed me all of the planets these beings have terraformed and helped evolve. One of them was Earth!
SHAW
Impossible!
VICKERS
Are you sure?
DAVID
Yes I’m afraid, it’s true. This being knows we are from Earth and knows we are human. There’s one more thing I haven’t told you. This craft also has thousands of these biomechanical weapons
SHAW
That’s what I saw in my dream!
DAVID
You’re dream?
SHAW
My god!
JANEK
What is it?
SHAW
That’s what it meant by saying it will Punish us for stealing! It’s going to take these weapons to Earth!
Suddenly MILBURN walks into the room. He is gasping heavily and hangs on to the door.
FIFIELD
Milburn!
MILBURN
What happened?
MUDOW
Jesus Christ take him back to the sickbay
MILBURN
I’m fine. Get away from me
MILBURN’S face is pale, most of his hair is missing, his eyes are sunk back and bloodshot, his eye bags are dark red and his face is swollen.
FIFIELD
You don’t look fine man
MILBURN
I’m fine
INT. CARGO BAY. NIGHT
The organic CAGE begins shaking and cracking and popping from the inside. RAY slowly backs up into the Cargo Bay, startled. Suddenly a large hole on the CAGE explodes and gallons of Black tar like substance spills out. Something large and black and slimy escapes from the CAGE.
