an amazing coincidence. I should have
known your presence would bring nothing
but sorrow to my station.
JEREMY
Pretty harsh words for someone you've
never met, sir.
AVERY
Oh I know you. I know that you were part
of the super secret Venus Project. I
understand it was a terraforming
operation. I've even read your brother's
sacred Book of Alec.
JEREMY
My brother didn't write that book.
AVERY
Right. Why don't we start with the
creature that just came into my cargo
hold.
YING
Are you saying there's a Super Spider
aboard this station? What exactly is the
situation, Captain?
AVERY
I've got exactly one monster loose on my
station, Commander. It entered, then
exited The MSS Purgatory cargo hold at
04:15 hours, 3 October, 2033. We were
unable to seal the cargo hold before said
intruder could be contained.
Avery plays a security video showing the Kek cutting open a portal with its claws and entering the cargo hold.
AVERY (CONT’D)
There was no loss of pressure. It had
woven a protective shell around itself
while outside the station- an airlock of
sorts. It came through just as The Hellas
docked.
JEREMY
How could I possibly have anything to do
with this?
AVERY
Why else would it be here?
JEREMY
Maybe there's something onboard that it
wants or needs.
AVERY
Can you imagine how difficult it must
have been for this creature to steal a
ride into orbit without being detected?
We're 22,000 miles in space for Christ's
sake. And if it didn't come from Earth,
and these creatures are arriving in Earth
orbit from some other place, god help us
all.
The Kek bursts through an air duct.
Avery slaps a large red button on the wall.
Jeremy slips out of the command center just before all the hatches seal shut.
INT. CORRIDOR A - MSS PURGATORY
Jeremy is alone outside the command center.
Screams can be heard through the hatch.
A station-wide alarm sounds.
An automated voice instructs The Purgatory's residents to proceed to THE RUNNER BAY.
