EXT. PROMETHEUS. DAY
The large craft speeds through the Atmosphere it is still engulfed in a fireball. As it speeds down the fire fades and the brightly lit craft.
INT. CONTROL ROOM. DAY
Suddenly the shaking stops and the shutters begins to go back to it’s normal grey color.
CHANCE
That’s us in sir
JANEK
Open the shutters
RAVEL activates a button which opens the shutters.
They can now see the cloudy, grim mountainous landscape. Through the large 250 inch windscreen a mountain taller than Mount Everest can be seen getting closer.
JANEK
Shit!
CHANCE
Ravel move this fucker!
RAVEL
I’m trying
EXT. PROMETHEUS. DAY
The PROMETHEUS pulls up missing the mountain by only a hundred or so yards. The ship then passes it and then starts speeding down the other side of the mountain. It is speeding through the dense clouds.
The PROMETHEUS leaves a long chem trail behind as it speeds down toward the PLANET’S surface toward the Himalayas type mountainous landscape.
INT. CONTROL ROOM. DAY
JANEK
Ravel you’re going too fast! Slow down!
RAVEL
I’m trying to!
RAVEL yells as he pulls back his flight stick.
EXT. PROMETHEUS. DAY
The ship then speeds through the middle of these towering canyons of mountains.
We now have a P.O.V of the ships journey. We are speeding in between towering canyons at a highly dangerous and fast speed. Suddenly there is a DEAD END. We are heading for the face of another large mountain.
INT. CONTROL ROOM. DAY
JANEK
Ravel?
RAVEL
I know
JANEK
Jesus!
EXT. PROMETHEUS. DAY
As the PROMETHEUS speeds toward the face of the mountain a hole can be seen on the mountain.
As we again looks through the ships P.O.V we now head directly toward this hole and enter in a matter of seconds. We are speeding through this narrow cave complex and a small dot of light can be seen in the dark distance. As we get closer and closer the dot of light gets bigger and bigger and eventually we enter it.
We are now outside the back of the mountain and we are no longer facing any mountains and but only clouds. A birds eye view of the ship reveals it is 20,000 feet above the rocky ground surface. We can see large strange MURALS of patterns much like the NAZCA lines.
INT. CONTROL ROOM. DAY
JANEK
Are we close?
JANEK
Just a mile from destination. Engines are slowing down sir
JANEK
Okay take us down nice and slow
EXT. PROMETHEUS. DAY
The PROMETHEUS slows down and it’s engines change direction and stops completely.
The ship’s engines are now vertical and it begins to land toward the rocky surface. The engine’s create a sand storm below as it lands. Large landing gears arrive from the engines and lands the ship gently to the surface. The ship is sitting directly on top a large Nazca like path. The engines slowly die out and eventually stop. Surrounding the PROMETHEUS is a mine field of sharp weird cone shaped rocks.
INT. CONTROL ROOM. DAY
Everyone is quiet as they all stare out at the terrain.
JANEK
I need a damn raise!
INT. PASSENGER ROOM. DAY
MUDOW

HOLLOWAY

MUDOW

SHAW

MILBURN

MILBURN and FIFIELD unstrap themselves.
INT. CONTROL ROOM. DAY
MILBURN and FIFIELD enter the room and not far behind is everyone else. All thirteen lean closer and stare out the windscreen.
MILBURN
Out of all the alien worlds we’ve come across this is the most Earth like
FIFIELD
So this is Zeus
JANEK

SHAW

JANEK

SHAW

JANEK

RAVEL

JANEK
