JANEK
Will you stop that. You’re giving me a headache. What you doing anyway?
CHANCE rushes out of the room without saying anything. JANEK shakes his head and sighs. RAVEL smirks.
RAVEL
You gotta go then you gotta go I guess
EXT. PROMETHEUS. NIGHT
The Ship illuminated by hundreds of lights sits in the pitch darkness. The storm has passed and the night sky is illuminated by a blanket of Aurora, the large Saturn type planet and hundreds upon hundreds of stars. The sound of the howling winds resemble an unearthly scream.
INT. ELIZABETH’S ROOM. NIGHT
HOLLOWAY is standing next to the bed and puts on his trousers. He looks down and notices blood stains rising from the groin area of his trousers. He sits down at the edge of the bed and holds his head in shame. He looks over at SHAW whom is sniffling and tears can be seen dripping from her eyes. HOLLOWAY stands up and grabs his Shirt and walks toward the door and exits the room.
INT. LAB. NIGHT
CHANCE enters the Lab and approaches DAVID.
CHANCE
I’ve got some interesting news
DAVID
What is it?
CHANCE
The computer discovered something pretty weird
DAVID
Like what?
CHANCE
The planet’s atmosphere’s artificial
DAVID
Artificial? Are you sure?
CHANCE
I’m telling you what the computer said. The oxygen, the clouds, the atmosphere is artificial. I don’t understand it myself
DAVID
It sounds like you’re trying to tell me this planet is being Terraformed
CHANCE
That’s what the computer’s saying
DAVID
Interesting
CHANCE looks over at the examination table and looks at the giant ALIEN HEAD.
CHANCE
Is that what I think it is?
DAVID
Yes. Our first encounter with an extraterrestrial life form
CHANCE
And it’s dead. I wonder what happened to it
DAVID
That reminds me. Can you do me a favour and call Miss Shaw and Miss Mudow for me?
CHANCE
Sure
INT. SHOWER ROOM. NIGHT
A naked SHAW stands under the sprinkling overhead shower system. She has her left hand pressed against the wall. As the water runs down her body her hand hand wipes down her upper thighs cleaning away the blood which is leaking down.
She if sniffling and crying. Her blood is washed down her legs and washes down a drain in the centre of the room.
INT. LAB. NIGHT
DAVID sits on a stool facing a narrow scanning table.
MUDOW and SHAW stand at each side of the table The LARGE alien HEAD is at the far end of the table and switch on the scanning device.
DAVID
No sign of any chemical or viral dangers.
MUDOW activates the scanning device and the LARGE alien HEAD is brought to the front the table which being scanned. VICKERS arrives and stands not far behind DAVID and watches the operation. MILBURN enters the room and stands by a corner.
VICKERS
So what can you tell me about it?
DAVID, MUDOW and SHAW turn and watch VICKERS.
DAVID
The data is coming through right now. It’s organic. No signs of DNA or tissue or even blood. It’s almost biomechanical
VICKERS
Meaning?
DAVID rubs his forehead in frustration and sighs. He looks over at VICKERS and gives a forced smile.
DAVID
Miss Vickers I mean no offence. But Scientists will be debating and examining this for decades to come. It’s Alien to us and to everything we know or understand. But if you want my honest professional opinion then I’d say it’s a helmet
VICKERS
If this is a helmet then where’s the head?
DAVID
I don’t know. I said It could be a helmet but the simple answer is that I don’t understand it at all
VICKERS
Anything else?
DAVID
The inside is completely hollow. But the computer did find traces of some sort of material. Computer cant identify it but it appears it has traces of Sulphuric acid
VICKERS
Good work. Keep me posted on all developments. So what about the material from the URN?
DAVID
It’s still being scanned. I’ll let you know right away when I find something
INT. CONTROL ROOM. NIGHT
CHANCE sits by his controls and blows bubblegum when suddenly his computer begins beeping. He stares at his monitor and types into his keyboard.
A series of coded numbers appear.
JANEK
What’s happening over there?
CHANCE
Picking up a transmission
JANEK
