large bag sits in between MUDOW and SHAW. SHAW looks through into the cockpit where CHANCE sits at the controls.
INT. CARGO BAY. DAY
The three vehicles wait as the large door in front of them opens revealing the epic scenery of this ALIEN world.
EXT. PROMETHEUS. DAY
The Cargo Bay door has now fully opened and has become a ramp for the three vehicles which are now driving over. The three vehicles are now driving over the finely flattened path and drive past our sight leaving behind the twirling dust trail.
INT. CONTROL ROOM. DAY
VICKERS is standing over JANEK.
JANEK
I’m curious Miss Vickers
VICKERS
Please explain?
JANEK
Why Weyland would send you with us on this mission
VICKERS
Why is that?
JANEK
To keep tabs on us in case we fail
VICKERS
I’m not here for that Mr Janek
JANEK
Then why are you here?
VICKERS
I’m here in case you succeed
EXT. CATHEDRAL. DAY
This large structure is dome shaped and has very peculiar patterns and shapes.
(See both Scott’s sketch – inspired by a drawing by HR Giger for DUNE which wasn’t used in the film)
It is two hundred feet in height. The three vehicles approach it’s base.
The Rover and the two buggy’s stop and the crew on the Buggy’s exit their vehicles. The Rovers back door opens and it’s crew exit. The group of nine stand together at the bottom of this structure. DAVID approaches the Zigzag type staircase and it is REVEALED to be actual large stairs.
DAVID
This doesn’t look indigenous
INT. PROMETHEUS CONTROL ROOM. DAY
JANEK, VICKERS and RAVEL are looking at the large monitor which is showing live footage of what each of the crew members are looking.
VICKERS
Keep going
EXT. CATHEDRAL. DAY
DAVID leads FIFIELD, MILBURN, MUDOW, SHAW and HOLLOWAY up the zigzag staircase.
CHANCE
We’ll wait here for you guys
FIFIELD looks down at them and laughs.
FIFIELD
Scared in case any green little men steal your wheels?
EXT. CATHEDRAL CAVE. DAY
The group arrive at the large cave entrance. They then enter through the darkness. Each person who enters; their Chrysler suits wires and panels begin glowing in the dark.
INT. CATHEDRAL ENTRANCE TUNNEL. DAY
All six of them have their flash lights scanning the walls, floor and ceiling. The cave is pure rock but on the wall to their right is a large metallic pipe.
MILBURN studies it with confusion.
MILLBURN
Correct me if I’m wrong but this looks metallic. Almost like a pipe or some sort
FIFIELD
Let’s just keep going
SHAW looks down at the ground. The ground is riddled with golden/silvery glittery trails.
HOLLOWAY
Follow the yellow brick road
Suddenly MILBRURN stops as he comes face to face with a blanket of red laser. The other five join him and they all look puzzled at the sheet of laser.
HOLLOWAY
What is that?
DAVID
Use the bag
HOLLOWAY tosses the empty bag at the sheet of red laser and the bag harmlessly passes through it.
DAVID
Any volunteers would be helpful
FIFIELD
The hell with it
FIFIELD walks through it and stops at the other end and turns around and shrugs his shoulders. The others stare at each other for a moment before walking through it. A glowing bulb appears on the ceiling and a red laser shoots from it and scans the crew members before disappearing.
SHAW
What was that?
FIFIELD
Come on. We’ve already gone this far
INT. CONTROL ROOM. DAY
JANEK, VICKERS and RAVEL watch the footage the group are recording via their attached cam corder’s. Suddenly the footage disappears.
JANEK
Mudow, Chance do you read me? Come in over?
RAVEL
They can’t hear you
JANEK
Why the hell not?
RAVEL
I don’t know. The transmission’s jammed
JANEK
Shit. I don’t like this at all!
INT. ORRERY. DAY
The entire surroundings an details of this room is invisible due to the darkness. Suddenly there is light from what appears to be a mechanical panel with strange buttons, markings and symbols. Four large Sarcophagus’s rise and they are illuminated with different colours. The Sarcophagus opens and a green illuminous liquid pours out of it.
