DAVID stops and looks at the mechanical bracelet and then looks up in shock.
DAVID
Wait!
Everyone stops and faces him.
DAVID
There’s oxygen. I believe it’s breathable
Everyone looks at their devices and then SHAW is the first to reach for the small lever on her egg shaped helmet. HOLLOWAY reaches out to stop her.
HOLLOWAY
No don’t!
SHAW
It’s called faith Holloway. Try it
SHAW pulls the lever and lifts the helmet off from her shoulders. Her eyes and mouth are closed but she then opens her eyes and takes in breath.
SHAW
My god David’s right. I can breathe. How is this possible?
DAVID
My guess is that protective layer of mist or laser was keeping the oxygen trapped inside.
HOLLOWAY
okay I don’t think we should go any further
FIFIELD
And why is that?
DAVID
I agree with Mr Holloway. We are walking into something we just simply don’t understand
FIFIELD
Look this is the first time the human race has ever found signs of Extraterrestrial life. We’ll head back if we’re sure there is risk of life
The group continue walking and then come across a dead; a large metallic DOOR. A large pipe is next to the door.
SHAW
It looks like a door
FIFIELD
No shit. Find a way to open it
MUDOW and SHAW approach the door and then kneel down to examine the pipe next to it. DAVID notices something on the wall and climbs up the pipes and finds a lever on the wall and pulls it. The large door then opens vertically and an explosion of oxygen and steam escapes from behind the door engulfing both MUDOW and SHAW.
FIFIELD, MILBURN, MUDOW and DAVID are the first to enter. HOLLOWAY helps SHAW and both of them enter through the doorway.
INT. SPIRAL CAVE. DAY
HOLLOWAY and SHAW enter. MILBURN drops the empty large bag and continues to the other end of this very dark room. HOLLOWAY and SHAW look around and then study the strange markings on the floor which leads to a large hole. DAVID passes them and looks back at the doorway and studies the hieroglyphics and symbols written around the doorway.
DAVID
Miss Shaw? What do you make of these?
INT. CONTROL ROOM. DAY
JANEK sits at his chair and stares at the large holographic monitor in front of him which shows the live footage shot by the groups shoulder cams. VICKERS stands behind him and watches also.
The voices of the group can also be heard.
SHAW
They look like ancient Egyptian or Sumerian hieroglyphs or something
INT. SPIRAL CAVE. DAY
A thin but strong wire has been tied around one of the many cone shapes rocks and the rest of the long wire is carried by FIFIELD who takes it to the edge of the hole and drops it in. MILBURN, whom is standing next to the hole drops a flare. We see the flare dropping quite some distance.
MILBURN
Any volunteers?
DAVID
I’ll go
MILBURN
You? You’re not going human on us are you?
DAVID
No. If I did then I’d be cowering in a corner
DAVID leans down the hole and begins to zip down.
INT. TEMPLE. DAY
DAVID reaches the bottom and waits as SHAW and MUDDOW zip down. DAVID helps them gain their balance.
DAVID, MUDOW and SHAW are now in this large pitch black area with HOLLOWAY slowly descending above via the zip wire.
DAVID moves further through the area.
As DAVID continued to walk forward his feet gets caught and he trips and falls. MUDOW and SHAW rush over to him.
DAVID
It’s okay I just tripped
SHAW
Oh my god!
DAVID
What?
David turns and discovers what he tripped on;
A BODY. DAVID stands up and studies the body along with MUDOW and SHAW. The BODY is at least thirteen foot tall and it’s HEAD is missing.
MUDOW
Over there
MUDOW moves over to a large HEAD which is six times larger than a humans. It has Elephantine features and a trunk from it’s nose leads to and is attached to the BODY’S chest.
SHAW
I wonder what happened to it
Both MUDOW and SHAW kneel down and study the GIANT head.
DAVID then turns and begins walking into a larger section of the area. His flash light zooms in on a large three foot URN like jar which stands next to others.
DAVID walks through this graveyard of URNS studying them until he points his flash light dead ahead. He stops when his flash light zooms in on a large MONUMENT. SHAW and MUDOW stand up when they spot the MONUMENT.
All three of them stand there staring up at the Massive MONUMENT which is shaped like a Human HEAD.
(See Mr Gigers concept art. Although he still refuses to get on a plane so email him)
MILBURN and FIFIELD finally arrive and study the MONUMENT.
FIFIELD
