CHANCE typed several commands into his controls and a 42inch monitor rises in front of the windscreen.
EXT. PROMETHEUS. DAY
A small hatch opens and a telescope type mechanism rises.
INT. CONTROL ROOM. DAY
The large monitor shows what the telescopic device is seeing.
JANEK
Zoom in
CHANCE types a command into the controls and we can see the vision on the monitor zoom in on what appears to be a large towering dome shape structure.
JANEK
It’s just a damn mountain
VICKERS
What’s that at the top?
The vision zooms into the top of the structure and a large hole can bee seen.
DAVID
Looks like a cave of some sort
MILBURN
We’ll need a damn big ladder to get up there
JANEK
I think it’s best to stay inside for a while
VICKERS
That’s a negative Captain. We have to investigate. That’s why were here
CHANCE
You wont need ladders
VICKERS
Why?
CHANCE
Look!
The vision shows a more closer image of the structure and what looks like a zigzag type staircase starting from the bottom to the cave entrance.
VICKERS
How much daylight do we have?
CHANCE
It’s hard to say. The computer cant answer that
VICKERS
Why the hell not? This ship has the technology to find out, even on alien worlds
CHANCE
I’m telling you the computer doesn’t know. It’s reading like there isn’t even daylight
VICKERS
Well that doesn’t matter. So who’s going out?
DAVID
I volunteer
MILBURN
Me too
FIFIELD
Count me in
SHAW
I guess we don’t much of a choice
SHAW looks at HOLLOWAY and he shrugs.
JANEK
Mudow I want you with them just in case
VICKERS
I’m staying here
JANEK
But this is your mission
VICKERS
I have some things I need to take care of. Like contacting Weyland
JANEK
Then it’s settled. Chance? Ray? Joshua? You guys are the designated drivers
RAY
Why us?
JOSHUA
Yeah
JANEK
Because your the only ones with experience and training to drive the rovers
VICKERS
Okay then it’s sorted. I want you guys to get prepped and ready to leave in an hour. Let’s get moving people
INT. CARGO BAY CORRIDOR. DAY
SHAW, MILBURN, FIFIELD, HOLLOWAY, MUDOW, RAY, DAVID, JOSHUA and CHANCE are dressed in their Chrysler suits and wearing their helmets. On the wall next to each other are fourteen Sarcophagus type capsules on the wall. The group of nine climb into the capsules and press a button and see through lids close locking them into the capsules. RAY presses and holds a button on his collar and speaks.
RAY
Lower the Cargo Bay
JANEK
Lowering!
EXT. PROMETHEUS. DAY
The belly of the ship opens and the Cargo Bay is lowered and touches down on the ground.
INT. CARGOBAY CORRIDOR. DAY
The group of nine now standing outside their capsules begin walking up the white corridors toward a door at the far end.
INT. CARGOBAY. DAY
(See Scott’s sketches for more details)
A door opens and the group of nine enter the large Cargo Bay. There are two APC type vehicles ‘Rovers’ and 2 two seater Buggy type vehicles.

CHANCE
