I don’t believe this!
MILBURN
My god look at it. It’s like it’s looking down on us. Look at the hieroglyphs on it’s face
DAVID
Miss Shaw? You’re an archaeologist. What so you have to say?
SHAW
I’ve never seen anything like it in my life
DAVID approaches one of the large URNS and touches it. As he takes his hand away a sticky glue substance sticks to his hand.
DAVID
It’s like leather
DAVID studies the top of the URN and wipes away the debris. A circular pattern with a small button in the centre can be seen. DAVID pushes the button and it clicks down. There is a series of clicking followed by a louder click. The top opens and there is a release of hissing gas. A white cylinder type jar slowly ejects from the URN. DAVID lifts the JAR out of the URN.
FIFIELD
Okay grab some samples. We better be getting back now
DAVID walks over to MILBURN with the white jar.
MILBURN and MUDOW place the large ALIEN head into the bag. DAVID places the URN inside the bag.
MILBURN picks up the bag and carries it as the group head back toward the zip wire, our view zooms in on the opened URN.
EXT. CATHEDRAL. DAY
CHANCE, RAY and JOSHUA are waiting by the vehicles watching the group arrive at the bottom of the staircase.
CHANCE
What did you find?
MUDOW
We’ll explain later
CHANCE
Can we go now?
MUDOW
Right everybody get in, we’re leaving
Everyone rushes to their vehicles. MILBURN who is now holding the bag climbs onto the back of one of the Buggy’s.
INT. ORRERY. DAY
We are looking at a strange ALIEN control panel. There is a series of different coloured buttons and many weird and strange hieroglyphics. A large thick pale/blue hand comes into view. It has three very long fingers and a thumb. It makes a fist and one of it’s fingers touches a button.
EXT. ZEUS CLOUDS. DAY
The thick dense greyish white clouds begin swirling even faster and a series of thunderous bangs are heard as a lightening storm can be seen from within.
EXT. PROMETHEUS. DAY
The three vehicles speed toward the PROMETHEUS
INT. CONTROL ROOM. DAY
JANEK
Open the Cargo Bay ramp
RAVEL
It’s already done sir. Er… Sir?
JANEK
What now?
RAVEL
It’s the atmosphere. It’s changing
JANEK
What do you mean changing?
RAVEL
Look!
JANEK stares out of the window and his eyes widen.
EXT. PROMETHEUS. NIGHT
The Rover and the 2 Buggy’s drive to the ramp. MILBURNS Buggy is the last to drive up the ramp but
as it does so, the bag is knocked off the Buggy that goes unnoticed by MILBURN.
INT. CARGO BAY. NIGHT
The Rover stops inside and turns till it faces the open door. The two Buggy’s also stop. Everyone exits their vehicles. RAY and JOSHUA grab the flame throwers and make their way to the other side of the room.
MILBURN searches the Buggy and looks around in panic.
MILBURN
where the fuck is it?
FIFIELD
Where’s what?
MILBURN
The bag
FIFIELD
I thought you had it?
SHAW spots the bag just a few meters from the ramp outside.
SHAW
I see it
EXT. PROMETHEUS. DAY/NIGHT
SHAW exits the PROMETHEUS and reaches the bag. She kneels down and picks it up. She stops moving as a loud thunderous storm can be heard. She looks up into the horizon only see a great EPIC spectacle. The entire cloud formation in the sky is falling to the surface in the distance and approaching the ship like a tsunami. The day soon turns to night. SHAW is in total awe and shock. She slowly stands up as the storm gets closer. Everyone in the background doesn’t notice her or the storm. SHAW is suddenly hit by the violent storm and is lifted into the air and thrown diagonally away from the Cargo Bay.
INT. CARGO BAY. NIGHT
HOLLOWAY
Elizabeth!
The violent storm fires through the Cargo Bay throwing everyone around the area like rag dolls.
EXT. PROMETHEUS. NIGHT
SHAW is thrown high into the air in between the side of the Cargo Bay and the Engine.
We are now looking through SHAW’S P.O.V and we are turning and twisting as he are lunged into the air.
We can hear SHAW’S static screams, whimpering and heavy panicked breathing as we bump into the ship, then the engine and then finally we crash into the rocky ground and roll around before lying still.
EXT. PROMETHEUS. DAY
The Rover stops no more than hundred meters from the Prometheus and parks right next to SHAWS body which is lying face down on the ground.
INT. MESS HALL. NIGHT
JANEK enters and finds only VICKERS inside. She sits by the table and smokes.
JANEK
We nearly lost someone today.
