THE VIRUS WITHIN
TREATMENT BY : - VIKAS YADAV.
Country : INDIA
(Address:- B-545, Malviya nagar, Jaipur, Rajasthan. Phone number:
2524505.)
Final draft on 14th MARCH 2003.
SCENE 1.
Earth: Residential City area.(not a metro, there are no
skyscrapers or flyovers. It is a city of independent houses and
trees.) Houses scattered all over. Late Morning daylight. Black smoke
coming out of many places and flowing in the direction of the wind.(
There is no fire visible and the smoke is not immense. It is the smoke
of a small fire.)
SCENE 2.
( Interior) A huge cockpit(twenty feet wide and ten feet long). A
huge front window and huge side windows on both sides of the front
window. All the windows are floor level up to the roof. The side
windows are the length of the cockpit. The cockpit largely empty
besides two large chairs alongside two side windows and a long sleek
dashboard stretching the whole length of the front window. There are
thin computer screens in front of the two seats, attached to the arms
of the chair. The space craft is shaped like a huge white fighter jet.
(It was a brand new plane so the color was still new and unblemished.)
It is absolutely silent. A young man is standing silently near the
right side window watching the dense trees and brown hills of the
forest they are slowly passing over, the trees just a few meters
below.( the forest is not like rain forest, it is not so dense and wet.
The leaves are green but dusty) He is alone in the cockpit. There is an
air of calmness about him. It is broad daylight outside, therefore
cockpit unlighted but not dark.
A computer, in the dashboard, automatically switches on making a low
humming sound displaying a message. Its screen displaying green color.
It says " MAJOR CITY IN FLORIDA ATTACKED." (Characters in white)
He turns his head (his eyes light blue and calm not cold)and calmly
goes over towards the dashboard pushes on a few keyboard buttons. The
computer displays their location: "middle of India, forested area." And
some figures about latitude and longitude and altitude and gmt. And in
the lower right corner displays an elaborate map of this area.
He calmly moves his vision from the console to the right side window:
he sees that they were passing over a city.
( exterior) the spaceship just a few meter above the city. It was a
very congested city of houses, one storey,mostly two storey and three
storey and temple spires and a few tress here and there. The houses
have flat roofs and no wood has been used in the houses except in the
doors. Most houses have one small room on the roof covering the
staircases that lead to the roof. The houses are painted or whitewashed
green, white, gray and pink. The whitewash old. There is no space
between consecutive houses and there is no space for small private
gardens or parking space. The houses are so close to each other that
their walls touch each other. The houses look old and dirty. The plane
was above a narrow black asphalt road filled with the traffic of
bicycle and scooters and lot of pedestrians. There are houses closely
packed together on either side of the road. There is dirt on the road
here and there. He slowly moves closer towards the right window and
looks down and sees a lot of people on the road, talking, moving,
buying things from small roadside shops. He sees sun tanned people in
ordinary cheap clothes(shirts and pants) on scooters and bicycles and
on foot moving about on the narrow black road. Along the road on one
side are small electric poles, electric wires stretching from one pole
to the other. Than he finds the view going smaller and realizes Anna
has come into the cockpit and steered away the plane taking it up in
the air. He looks around and finds her sitting in front of the controls
smiling at him. He smiles back. She is a beautiful girl of ash blond
hair.
Wik and Anna both standing by the side right window , the view filled
by a plain red brown hard barren land and a few squat trees here and
there which look as if they were being weighted down by the atmosphere
above. Wik and Anna notice the view going smaller and smaller as the
plane rises vertically up. They see the blackness of the space outside
the window and the white blue earth at the bottom of the window.
SCENE 3
On the base :
(exterior)Their plane is among several other landed planes( around
fifty). All the planes were shaped like fighter jets. The planes stood
very close to one another, almost touching each other.(The planes are
not standing on their legs, their underside is touching the ground
below and even if a few planes have legs the planes are just half a
meter from the ground.) They were in all colors some white, others
black and some in yellow and gray. Most planes were in heavy use
therefore there colors were dull and faded in some places but for most
part the planes looked fine. It is broad daylight.
They step out of their plane.( the entrance and the exit gate in the
plane are the same. There is one door and it is in the right side hull.
Like in aeroplanes) Water can be seen dripping from the wings and
engine area of many of the planes collecting in small puddles below.
pilots can be seen outside repairing their spacecrafts. There plane was
among the biggest of them all. It was headed by captain mark, Anna, wik
and Nicole, who all came out of the plane onto the ground except wik
who remained in the plane repairing the computers.
(Mark was forty-five whereas all others were in their early twenties.
The relationship between mark and his team was not that of a slave and
master. Wik, Anna and Nicole were quite capable of dealing with
situations and talking descison themselves. It was same with all other
units. But the team respected and liked their captains. the
relationship among them was friendship. Besides mark all looked fresh.
The young ones were without the cynical expression that most grown ups
carry around. They were yet to gain that skeptical look in their
personality. Mark was a man of character, His face strong and
skeptical.)
a fellow pilot walking ten feet behind the group watched as the group
moved towards the building that is far at the other end of the ground.
They moved on a five foot wide path(yellow in color) that was
sandwitched between spaceships ,parked very close to each other, on
either side. He saw mark turn his head and watch the planes to his
right side(Sunlight beating on the yellow, green and gray planes.),
the rest kept their heads straight looking in the front. Anna gave a
flick back to her pony tail that had come on to her chest.
(interior)Wik ,who had remained in the cockpit was seated on the floor
busy with dashboard. Sunlight was flowed in the cockpit in a big shaft
from the right window and forming a large pool of yellow light on the
cockpit floor. The area besides the pool(the corners and the dashboard)
relatively darker.
He stood up and walked through the pool to right hand side window and
looking out he saw (some twenty meter from his window)pilots( boys,
girls, man and woman) coming out of their planes holding guns and
papers. Yellow sunlight beating down on them.
Some were serious other laughing, as they descended from the planes
walking down the short steps. they were in gray overalls, some were in
casuals.
He saw, in the window, his team members coming along with a small black
vehicle which had an open back, carrying ammunition( missiles, hard
fuel, oxygen tanks, chemicals for laser).
Wik started the main computer( it starts with a low hum and maintains
the sound) and pushing a few buttons opened the fuel tank, oxygen tank
and the missile area of the plane. The team is busy putting the stuff
in its place in the outside side hull of the plane.
Anna enters the plane through the main door and into the cockpit.
Wik( looking at her without reproach, asking simply and friendly and
calmly): "where to?"
Anna : "nowhere, a five day holiday."
SCENE: 4
Evening time. Sunlight has turned pink in color.
Wik's home. Roof. The roof is a cemented floor, damp at some places.
Hills can be seen just a hundred meters away, clear and naked.
A glass table ( in the middle of the roof)with white crockery on it,
set for tea. The crockery glistening in the pink light of the evening.
Sky is clear except for a huge white cloud ,that had turned pink,
rising from the back of the hills. All of them are seated on wooden
canned chairs(light brown) around the table except nicole who is
standing behind the chair her father is seated on. (the chairs have
cream(off-white) colored cushions to sit on)Wik is seated facing the
hills. His father seated in front of him, on the other side of the
table. Nicole's father to his left, anna and her father to is right and
mark seated besides wik's father.
Wik's father, a man of fifty and a solemn face, (seriously): "where
are you going this time?"
Mark : "after the break, a routine flight over earth looking for
anything suspicious."
Wik's father( picking up a cup): "Florida was attacked this morning.
Who are these people?"
Wik(with ease and no hurry .unemotionally stating fact)looking at his
father: "nobody knows who they are or where they come from and what the
they want."
Wik looks up and sees a trail of white light ,coming out of that pink
cloud, traveling at a high speed. It is a space craft.
Than many other space craft come out of the cloud and hover besides
that plane forming a straight line with it. They all are of same size(
not bigger than f-117) and look black in the distance.
All other turn to look up in the direction of wik's vision.
Nicole screams, turning her head back to them, with a bit of impatience
at their immovability : "RRRRun."
They start to run down the stairs. An explosion is heard somewhere far
off. Wik's, nicole and Anna's father turn right at the end of the
stairs into the house.
Anna's father to all of them, who had tuned left into the veranda to
move out of the house(concern for the children and fear written all
over his old face): "where are you all going, come inside."
Wik(turning back): "we have to reach our plane."
And they all run out onto the black asphalt road outside the house and
get into the car.
Anna seated in the front and wik(left) and Nicole(right) at the back,
wik watches as Mark starts the car in one go. As soon as the car
switches on, a space craft comes down and hovers just ten feet above
road some way behind them. The car races off. From the roof of wik's
house ,the spacecraft could be seen following the car, some way behind
them and hovering at the constant height of ten feet or so. The car
takes a sharp turn to the right and comes on to a (fifteen feet black
wide)road lined with tall trees on one side and houses on other. The
stainless steel of the spacecraft could be seen glistening in the sun.
The space craft fires an automatic gun(situated at its outside hull,
below it's nose) towards them, most of the bullets hitting the road and
a few hitting the back lights. Nicole watches as they reach a small
one storey shopping complex to their right and turn into a small alley
besides it. anna watches from the left side window as the space craft
flies over the squat complex and reaches the other side. Just behind
the complex is a rectangular park with trees lines along the perimeter.
A narrow road goes round the park. The car steers straight into that
narrow road. Wik watches the craft hovers just a few feet over the park
at the height of the trees, as it appears and disappears behind the
trees tops. Mark looks up once in a while in the side window to his
left and sees the craft glistening in the pink evening light. From the
height of the plane the car could be seen moving fast in the small lane
appearing and disappearing behind the tree and the face of anna looking
up at the ship. The car turns left following the road around the park.
There are no trees on this part of the park and wik watches the craft
fire a laser gun which hits the small boundary wall of the park and wik
sees big pieces of rock flying all around the car. (there is still
ample sunlight. There are no people or traffic around as all have gone
underground.) some forty meter behind the car, a craft is hovering
behind a two storey house and the trees around it. The craft chasing
them is some twenty feet to the cars left side hovering in air, inside
the park. Mark shouts out: "run in different directions , reach the
base" and opens the gate and runs out in straight direction. Anna,
Nicole and wik all get out of the car together and start running in
different directions keeping their heads bent. Anna, Nicole and wik
all run along the boundary wall trying to hide behind it. Bullets
,pieces of rock and pieces of iron railing rocketing above their heads.
The car behind them battered with bullets and reduced to a mesh of
twisted metal, its color having peeled off by barrage of bullets.
Wik runs in a narrow alley between two rows of two storey houses that
are very close to each other. The sand on the road grinding as he runs
over it. He turns back and finds the plane at the opening of the wide
alley , he turns to his right at the end of alley and hides in a open
drainage lane running alongside a house's boundary wall. He hears the
humming of the ship growing fainter as it flies away. He stays in the
drain and waits for a few moments, it is dark by now.
It is night, he is on the base, walking towards his plane that is some
seven feet from him.
He reaches his plane and stands outside it.
He could see the base all dark besides the red and yellow and white
light ,in the cockpits, of the planes. The lights of the cockpits are
confined just to the cockpits, they do not illuminate any ground around
them.
The sky was dark with no stars visible.
A young boy in light gray overalls coming in his direction, glancing
right and left every now and then. He spots wik, hands over the sheet
to him and leaves.
He opens the door and goes inside the cockpit. The cockpit is lighted
in red. He stands near the middle of the dashboard(facing the left
window) and opens it. It is an order for mark and his team to go into
deep space missions searching for enemy. Another plane with a team of
three Teri(captain), Jim(aged 30) and Mary(aged 21) would assist them.
They were to leave tomorrow morning at 11.Mark enters the cockpit and
stands facing him.Wik hands over the sheet to him. As mark was going
through the sheet anna and nicole enter the plane through the main
door.(the main door of the plane was visible from the cockpit. The
cockpit was just left to the main entrance and the private rooms of the
members were to the right.) Anna enters the cockpit whereas Nicole
closes the main door and enters after her.
Mark (looking outside the front window): "we have to leave tomorrow
morning for deep space mission…… .search one planet one after the
other.. looking for the enemy………. We will need more ammunition and
water and food… (speaks slowly as of fearful of something)Lets start
the work".
In the front window , a plane could be seen landing straight down its
small cockpit lighted red.
Its loud screeching noise could be clearly heard in the cockpit.
SCENE 5:
Morning time 10: 30.
Mark and his team outside their plane. The wind slightly ruffling their
clothes.Wik checking the fuel and anna checking the ammunition tank.
Nicole is standing besides Mark, looking up at the sky(wind throwing a
few strands of her hair on her face) while mark looking straight in the
direction of Teri and his team. Sky is lightly overcast with white
clouds. Sunlight filtering in through the clouds therefore not
bright(but the atmosphere is not dark or dull or gloomy at all).
Teri and his team is some way off standing outside their plane which is
relatively smaller and black in color( shaped like a harrier jump jet).
Jim and Teri looking in mark's direction whereas Mary, her face turned
sidewards(to her left), looking at something else. They wave hands to
each other over the distance with the nose of a few planes(one yellow,
other gray and another light green) in between.
There is silence all around, no noise or sound.
(Exterior)The planes take off from the base. A black fellow pilot
watches the plane rise up, slowly vertically up without making a lot
of noise, just a low humming noise.
Standing in the knee length grass on the ground in light gray overalls,
he waves at them, smiling comradely. He watches the planes rise up
vertically up one after the other.
As the white plane rises to a height of twenty meters, the black plane
starts to rise up to one meter. Straight above these two planes is a
straight line of spacecrafts upto the edge of the atmosphere. The
furthermost craft , high up in the sky, looks like a black blot. It is
at the edge of the atmosphere. Lower down ,Below it, is a craft which
looks bigger(size of a football)and appears white and so on so
forth.(crafts lower down looks bigger and clearer.)
SCENE 6.
Extra Large full white moon in space. (exterior view)Both crafts slowly
moving straight at it. The large moon with its black spots very
illuminated.
CUT TO:
A small screen ( of a standard pc in size) filled with thousands of
white shining dots, on the light dull black background color, forming
the shape of the moon and two small moving gray dots representing the
two crafts. The picture is not of high resolution.
A laugh is heard. A cruel mechanical and unemotional laugh.
Back to : (exterior view)large white moon in space, crafts moving in
the direction of the moon.
(interior view)Wik watches the huge moon, in the right side window,
closely streaking past very slowly.
The cockpit is unlit and dark and very silent ,the moon throwing a
wedge of light through the right side window and dimly illuminating the
part of the floor that is nearer to the right window. Rest of the
cockpit and the floor dark. Mark and the crew members standing silently
in the cockpit like dark shadows.
The wedge of moonlight on the cockpit floor slowly waning as the moon
passes by the window.
The wedge slowly disappears completely. It is completely dark now.
wik looks in the front window and sees the dark unlimited space. No
stars or other body visible in the sky. The cockpit is completely
silent and dark, just like the space outside.
The crew member look like dark shadows, their breathing could be heard.
(Interior)Wik watches the left window beyond the silhouette of anna
and sees the cockpit and the nose of the black plane. Its cockpit dark
like the deep dark space beyond.
SCENE 7.
(exterior) The planes in dark space, over a planet covered by a
atmosphere of white clouds.
Into the planet.
The cockpit dark.Wik, standing by the right side window(looking out of
it) and the remaining others standing near the dashboard, tensely
watches as they descend in the atmosphere, which is filled with layers
of white clouds. (There is ample light in the atmosphere but not bright
like direct sunlight but like the light of a white tubelight.)
He watches the black plane(its cockpit dark), in the right window,
rapidly appearing and disappearing behind the thin canopy of the
clouds. The black planes increases its speed and lurches ahead. Far
away, Through a break in the clouds, he sees the top a big pink
mountain, its base lost in the clouds.
(the space upto hundred feet above the surface is clear. But above that
is a dense atmosphere.)
(exterior view)The planes are very near the surface, and flying over it
at a quick pace.(plane's interior) Wik ,looking out from the right side
window, seated on the chair besides it..the surface, pink in color,
streaking past at a tremendous pace. No vegetation and no life of any
kind.
(exterior)The white spacecraft rapidly taking pictures of the surface
with the help of a camera situated on the outside hull, sending flashes
of white light on the surface.
Wik(still seated, thinking slowly, looking outside the right window and
watching the miles of pink plain): "what would the enemy look like?
Where is it ? what could be its motive?"
He turns his face around and sees the black plane in the left side
window. Anna and mark are looking at the computer screen in the
dashboard whereas nicole is standing near the left window and waving
her right hand at the black plane in the window.
Wik smiles (without contempt or sarcasms, almost compassionately)and
turns his head back to the right window.
he watches white clouds rush by in the side window as they rise
straight up in the dense atmosphere of white clouds. (exterior)the
camera flashing light on the clouds now.
(Exterior) only the nose of the planes are visible. (the nose are very
close to each other. black nose to the right and the white one to the
left.)
they are rushing ahead at a great speed. The white cloud layer rushing
past beyond them is the indication of their immense speed.(there are no
clouds between the two planes but around them.)
(Exterior) now the whole planes come into view. They rush ahead at a
great speed and become smaller and smaller in the distance.(the planes
are moving side by side with a distance of ten feet or so between
them.)
(Interior) wik(seated in the right window chair) watches the lone star
in the upper part of the left window , shining some way to the right
and over the figure of nicole. She is standing at the left window , the
white upper tip of the planet just visible in the lower part of the
window's left side. The area above (visible tip of the planet) the
planet pinkish white and luminescent. The cockpit is unlighted but not
dark , it's floor (near the left window) and the left window itself
luminescent in the light of the planet.
He turns his head and looks at the front window which is all dark( mark
and anna bent over the computer screen).
He turns and looks out of the right side window.
SCENE 8.
Wik is in the small dark bathroom attached to his small room. He is
taking a shower. He hears some music.
He opens the door and comes out (The music had stooped now)of his room
holding a comb in one hand and a glass of hot steaming milk in the
other. his hair wet and disheveled. He is in casuals. A non denim light
brown jacket over a dark shirt and a dark denim jeans. The rooms of
anna and nicole just opposite to his, a alley of black netted metal
going in between(which is dark right now). He turns left and walks a
few steps and moves into the cockpit. Nicole(standing near the front
window) turns to look at him. He moves to the right hand side chair and
places the glass on its arm. Anna comes in after him and stands at the
doorway of the cockpit.
The cockpit is dimly lighted in white. He combs his hair backwards.
Combing his hair he looks up at the front screen and sees a planet.
It is a very huge dark planet. Tilted to one side with huge concentric
rings around it.
The ring was broken at one place, like someone had taken a bite out of
it.
(Wik ,moving his hand towards the steaming glass, looks down at the
glass for a moment picking it up and again looks at the front screen ).
The front window is half filled with the planet and its rings. Nicole
seated in the left side chair: mark and wik standing near the console.
The glass in wik's hand giving out white steam. Ana is standing behind
wik.
Wik turns his head slowly to his right, moves towards the right window
(taking a sip )and goes and stands by the right side window.
He watches ,in the side window sipping his drink, the rocks of the
ring come flying by as the plane moves closer to the planet.
(Interior)wik watches( standing besides the side right window. His
glass still steaming)
the dense atmosphere of gases dark in color fill the window, as they
descend into it.
(Exterior) The planes hovering just below the dark atmosphere.
(Atmosphere is very similar to the last planet. Space upto hundred
meters clear above the surface but a dense atmosphere after that.)
There is no movement in atmosphere, it was calm. The planet is dark
like a densely overcast day on earth.
The gaseous atmosphere is largely blue( color of brinjal, but a little
dull) and light black in color with shades of gray here and there.
Hovering just below the dense gases they see a clear pool of water on
the surface below. It reflects the dull gases and the planes. There
are few hills around the lake some distance from it. The camera taking
pictures and sending bright white flashes on the water surface. There
is no vegetation visible anywhere or any artificial structures.
(Exterior)Dark space.
First the cockpit(white plane) comes into view and as the plane slowly
moves forward the middle part with wings comes into view and than the
tail part. The black plane is following close behind.
(interior) cockpit is dark. Wik alone in the cockpit. Seated on the
left hand side chair and looking out in the dark space . He sees no
stars or any other body , only darkness.
After a while.
Wik(still looking out of the window. thinking deeply): "where is the
enemy?"
Silence again.
Slowly taking a deep breath he moves his head backwards
he stands up( a little perplexed) , turns and moves towards the right
side window. He upon reaching the window, stands with his hands folded
over his chest and looks out in the window at the dark unlighted space.
He turns ,towards the cockpit, with his hands still folded over his
chest and puts his back against the window.
Deep in thoughts(thinking slowly and calmly): " what is it that they
want? They have never tried to communicate with earth….. They have put
no demands?
what are they after, actually? ….destruction?
why would someone want to destroy civilizations?
who could be so insane?……..
……………..( a smile spreading slowly over his face as he thought) but
haven't we on earth been trying to destroy each other over religion and
color of the skin?…. The clash of civilizations.
So maybe ………....Somebody out there thinks we are inferiors.
But why haven't they ever attacked in large numbers…….. its never been
an all out attack…….. are they low on resources? But….why attack at all
when so low on resources? ..Unless you so sure, you will never get
caught."
" …………………………so the conclusions could be:.. that they want
destruction……the same old clash of civilizations…and that…they are low
in numbers or resources….."
"but could explain there low numbers"
"………………….. a heavy causality in a war with some civilization . They
might not have fully recovered from the war."
" …………………….. it must be a warring civilization like some of the
kingdoms on earth thousands of years ago.. who just fought and fought.
But don't they get tired and sick of all this. Maybe this is what they
enjoy and that's why they do it…………….. it is a mind gone wrong."
He turns around and sees two huge dark planets, of same size, in the
center of right window. The planets are very close to each other. one
behind the other. The one behind is rising above the other planet, its
lower half hid by the front one. As the plane moves forward, the
planets slowly streak past to the lower left corner of the window and
disappear.
SCENE 9.
(Interior)Wik standing near the right side window watches the blue sky
in the window as they vertically descend into the atmosphere of another
planet. The sky clear and lighted.
The cockpit unlighted but not dark. It is lighted by the cool white
yellow light in the atmosphere, it is like the evening light of the sun
on earth.
Wik thinking: "it is just like the evenings on earth…………………………how many
of us would live to see the earth again…maybe none."
( Exterior)Some way above the surface the planes start moving
horizontally over the surface.
The surface is hard white. And no sign of vegetation anywhere.
After some time the planes rise nose up in the atmosphere.
(interior)Wik and other crew member standing in the brightly lighted
cockpit, it is brightly lighted in white. Wik standing by the right
side window but looking out of the front window sees a large planet of
blue and white and brown. The planet is bit larger than earth. (the
cockpit brightly lighted in white light, as white as snow or a new
whitewash.)
(Exterior) the planes moving down towards the planet.
(interior)Wik and the crew members(holding glasses of orange fruit
juices in hands) watch out of the front window as they descend through
the dense white clouds.
(exterior) As they move out of the white cover they come across a deep
green, wet and dense forest just a few feet below them.
(exterior)The cockpit of the white plane brightly lit and the crew
members visible inside.
White fog lifting from some parts of the forest. It reminds of the
prehistoric jungles that earth once had. It is day time.
(Interior) wik looking down at the wet green trees in the right side
window, the trees are just a few(two feet) feet down.
Wik, as he looks down at the trees, thinking: "did this planet had a
choice about having life on it. …..(smiles in an amused manner) ..it is
an a living thing, it doesn't have a choice. But even we are not asked,
whether we would like to be born or not…who decides all this…that...who
would be born and in what form:human or animal or something else.
Whoever decides all this it is we who have to pay for his descison…….
But if it is the interplay of the mathematical equations that create
objects and life than life becomes an accident, it looses all meaning.
If events are decided by the such interplay than they are mere
accidents; anything can come out of such interplays… Either way we
loose."
Mark looking out of the front window. Some thirty meters ahead he sees
a large bird takes off ( fog is lifting from the dense trees behind the
bird) from a tree and after circling once in air settle back on.
Mark with a slow smile spreading on his face speaks equally slowly:
"life."
(Exterior)planes have landed on the ground. Both planes are landed side
by side in the middle of the forest, the nose of the black plane facing
the opposite direction.
The landing place is a sort of clearing with just green moss, brown
damp ground and a few creepers in it.
(interior)Mark speaks to Teri over the voice computer communication.
Mark: the main computer is checking the gaseous composition of the
atmosphere. We have to take a look at this planet closely.
Teri: yes.
Mark: will get to you after the computer finishes its job.
The computer displays in black over a white background: "ENOUGH OXYGEN
TO BREATH . NO KNOWN DANGEROUS MICRO ORGANISMS IN THE VICINITY."
(exterior)There was nothing to separate the hull of the plane and the
ground below. Mark open the door. wik and mark come out, heavy guns
slung over their shoulders.
As they come out they see a cave like structure, with dense
vegetation growing all over it. The cave is fifty meters ahead of them.
The door of the plane remains open, its interiors brightly lighted(
white light). The doorway brightly lit, in white, too.
They are joined by Teri and Mary, both carrying guns. They all move
towards the cave like structure.
Wik turns back(after walking twenty meters) and finds Nicole and anna
standing on the doorway in the bright white light.
He turns back and moves in the jungle. Wik looks up to the blue sky
through the wet(but not dripping) and glistening leaves of the forest.
(The planet's star was out in the sky and giving out light profusely,
it rays fell on the leaves and passed through the fog in large round
shafts.)
Wik thinking(looking up at the sky): "despite having limited or maybe
no freedom, life has its addiction. It has joys and bliss and
happiness. So, it seems that there are two forces in this universe….(
he slowly turns his head down and moves his right hand out and lightly
holds a leaf: the leaf glistening in the sunlight ) one good other
bad…… We have no freedom in some respect, ( he leaves the leaf and
moves on)the injustice and meaningless pains can be attributed to the
bad force and the joy, happiness and bliss to the good force."
Mark bends down to check a black brown thing protruding out of the
ground. He touches it, looks up at them: "it is iron."
Mark(as he stand up): "it is a civilization."
The door of the plane was shut now and no one could be seen in the
cockpit either.
Wik walks towards the cave and enters it. It is dark in here.
Others follow him. The entrance of the cave is round in shape.
Mark thinking as he enters the cave: "it is too smoothly round to be of
natural creation."
He moves his hands over the cave wall removing the dust layers
revealing a shining white metal surface.
Wik leaves the group, walking ahead in the cave and looking all around
him, looking at the roof which was all dark covered with damp sand.
He gets back to his thoughts: " the events in this universe are
influenced by these two forces…..we are influenced by these
forces……..and sometimes the evil power of this universe can grasp a
mind or the mind can grasp the evil power………….. And the enemy we are
dealing with is one such example."
He sees the end of the cave just a few steps ahead of him. (The cave
ended in an opening as wide and as round as the entrance.)
Suddenly a stainless steel plane drops down in front of him, hovering
at the entrance. Mark stops in his steps. (it is the same enemy plane.)
He quickly slungs down the gun and opens fire as he retracts his steps.
(His face tensed and fearful)
They all turn their heads to look in his direction. They see the ship.
The ship rapidly starts firing at them. Bullets streak through the
air and sending sand and dust flying in the air.
Teri and mark, while running out, take out there hand held
communication devices and call out their planes respectively.
Teri, with urgency and anxiousness in his voice, shouting: "Jim, get
ready, the Enemy is here. No time to pick us up."
Mark: "nicole, the enemy is here. no time to pick us up."
They saw the black plane take off first. It rises vertically a few feet
above the ground, turns its nose 180 degree in the direction of the
coming plane and starts firing bullets.
The bullets streaking through trees, breaking the leaves and branches
and throwing them in all directions.
Mark watched the black plane hover some way over the ground, slowly
moving from side to side( it moves from side to side, from the right to
left and from left again to right and so on. In moving from side to
side it covers ten meters or so), firing bullets.
The enemy plane , hovering above the wreckage of the plane that looked
like a cave, fires its laser gun at the planes.
The white plane rises vertically above the tree tops and than tilts its
nose down(at an angle of 60 degree) towards the enemy plane and fires
at it.
Mark sees the enemy plane slightly moves to its side and save itself.
Wik watches the black as it moves (some ten feet) to its left and
simultaneously also slightly rising in air(at a degree of thirty), its
nose still pointed at the enemy plane.
It gives out a rain of bullets which fly over and through the trees.
This time the bullets hit their mark.
The rear part of the enemy ship starts giving out thin black
smoking(without flames) and the plane falls to the ground besides the
cave.
Mark and all others come out of the cave.
Both planes land back in their places.
Mark and the group moves towards the smoking ship.
Teri open the side door, which was already loose and coming off the
hull. They see a small circular cockpit and a steel robot inside. The
cockpit is dark and black in color.
Its eyes red and eagle like and its mouth a little open with a hint of
smile.
Again the same low resolution image but no evil laugh. The image shows
mark and the group standing besides the ship. (Image vanishes)
The robot is exactly like a human being.
Mark and others move towards the planes.
Teri(looking at the wreckage): "this robot looks like us?"
Wik: "yes, the robot should resemble its creators. We , on earth, make
robots exactly like us…….. it means that the enemy looks more or less
like us."
Teri: "but how did they know we were here?"
Mary(looking at a tree some way to her left): "maybe this is the their
planet."
Mark(looking all over the sky): "we would have to check the rest of the
planet to find out."
The group moves towards their respective planes, the doors open and
they get into planes. The planes take off vertically.
SCENE 10.
Early evening. Ample light though not bright like the direct sunlight.
Partly overcast with thin light white clouds, the sky is shining blue
.
(Exterior) the planes are moving slowly in the sky. White plane
leading and the black plane , a little way back.
The planes descending vertically down at a quick rate.
(Interior) white plane. Cockpit dark. Wik looking out of the front
window.
He turns his head to his right and sees nicole looking out of the right
side window. The space outside the windows brighter.
(exterior) white plane slowly leading and the black plane following
behind.
(interior) white plane. Wik moves over to the right window. As he
reaches the right window, he sees(some fifty feet down) ruins and ruins
of broken houses(there are no skyscrapers or flyovers, only houses) for
miles around. The scene is an exact copy of the ruined cities of the
world war 2. (the houses are made up of the same material and the size
and shape as the houses in the ruined cities of the world war. It is an
exact replica.)
(exterior) the planes are descending down to the city.
(exterior) The planes are now moving just ten feet over a wide dusty
road. There are rows of broken houses on either side of the road.
(interior) white plane. Anna standing besides the left window looks
down at the road and sees puddles of water here and there on the road
reflecting the blue sky above. The broken houses on either side of the
road are damp.(not dripping with water.)
(Exterior) the planes are landing on the road now. The black plane is
touching down and the white plane just two feet above the ground turns
180 degree and than touches down. (The nose of planes is in opposite
directions.)
There is just broken houses all around the landing site.
The white plane is dusty, it is covered with dust here and there.
(exterior) the door of the white plane opens. Nicole steps out. The
doorway behind her lit in yellow golden light.
(It is evening now and it was getting darker. The sky was still blue
and there was still clear visibility and ample light. The light was
slightly yellow. Light enough to see without artificial lights. No
source of light visible. It was just like the evening on earth. It was
like when the sun had gone down but there was still enough light to
look around.)
She moves forwards towards the nearby debris of broken houses.
There is a gun slung over her left shoulder.
She walks besides a clear puddle of water, on the dusty road, that was
reflecting the blue sky.
She reaches the debris and sits down on a debris stone.
She looks up (with effort on her face)and sees the blue shining sky.
(no stars visible.)
She looks in front(still there is no ease on her face; only effort) and
sees the white plane(some thirty feet away), its interior lit in the
yellow golden light(both the cockpit and the doorway are lit in the
yellow golden light) and the people busy in the cockpit. The black
plane behind it and the ruins behind them.
SCENE 11.
Daytime. Clear blue sky and bright light. (exterior)The
planes slowly and noiselessly passing over the ruins of a city.
(reminiscent of the revolting destruction caused by world war two in
some cities)
(interior)Wik standing in the right side window watches twisted metals
coming out of the ground. ,debris of houses lying all around ,small
green grass growing among the debris on the ground. Trees growing out
of ruined houses, there tentacle like roots grabbing the stone walls.
Mark and anna see, the hulk of a space ship nose down into a small
house, in the front window. Grass and green moss growing all over the
plane. Nicole standing near the left side window watches creepers and
moss all over houses engulfing them, chocking them.
There is just rows after rows of broken and fallen houses(there are no
skyscrapers or flyover only houses). The scene reminds of the cities
completely destroyed in world war 2. not even a single intact building.
It was scene straight out of history.
(exterior)
the planes land on a sort of clearing in the city. The landing site was
filled with debris only there was no standing structure.
(interior)cockpit brightly lit in white. Anna watches wik ,out of the
side right window, who is standing on the top of a heap of a huge
debris. Wik was looking all around at the immense destruction. His gun
in his right hand hanging down.
(exterior) wik looks around turning 360 degree in the process. There
was just ruins and ruins all around. as he turns around he sees ruins
after ruins. His vision after taking a 360 degree rotation stop at the
white plane below. The plane is some thirty meters away. It is landed,
its door open and all its interiors(doorway and the cockpit) brightly
lit in white. The black plane is landed behind it.
SCENE 12.
Daytime. Clear blue(not very blue, it is whitish blue) sky. No clouds.
Ample light, like the summers on earth.
(Interior) white plane. Cockpit unlit. Light not flowing into the
cockpit directly. The cockpit is lighted like a room on earth on a
sunny afternoon, though no sunlight is entering the room but the room
is amply illuminated by the light outside.
Wik is standing near the left window looking out. He is alone in the
cockpit.
(interior)In the front window is a dense banyan tree(just like on
earth), its leaves green but a little dusty. Its leaves rustling with
the direction of the wind. The tree top is just a meter in front of the
plane.
(The plane is hovering at a place.)
(interior)Wik looking down from the window sees that the tree is on the
left side of the black narrow asphalt road that they are hovering
above. There is a lot of dirt and debris at the bottom of the tree;
papers, dry leaves etc.
He looks at the front window and see that some ten meters beyond the
tree, rising ahead is a stone boundary wall around fifty feet long(the
wall is not along the road but across the road. The road has to turn
right and run along it.) The wall is ten feet high. The wall is dark(by
the years of rain and dampness), its stones are not covered by concrete
but joined by concrete so the stones are clearly visible in the wall.
There are small shrubs and plants growing out of a few places in the
wall.
Inside the wall there is a huge forty feet wide building. The
building's width facing the boundary wall. There is twenty feet space
between the building and the wall. There is a congested group of
trees(five or seven) in that space. A small(twenty feet long) fighter
jet shaped space craft is lying battered on the tree tops. It is light
red in color. There are holes in its hull and it is weathered.
The building is a concrete one with many small black window and a huge
wooden door.
The building looks very old, much older than the houses around it. It
looks like a sacred place. There are few small spires on its flat roof.
The concrete is crumbling down from a few places.
Wik turns right and sees out of the right window.
Houses. The houses are rectangular or square. They are made of bricks,
stones and covered with concrete. The houses are whitewashed which
seems old and weathered.
Some houses are painted light pink or light blue, the colors are
fading.
The houses are just four straight walls with a few windows, a main
door(of wood) in the wall and one or two small balcony(made of stone or
concrete). The houses are so congested that there walls touch each
other. there is no space between two consecutive houses. There is no
space for any small private garden in front or at the back of the
houses. all houses have flat roofs.
There is no sign of any activity, no life. The windows and the doors
are open and dust is flying in the them. The interior are all dark and
nothing is visible inside the houses.
Most of the houses are intact or almost intact. There are few big holes
or one or two fallen walls otherwise the houses are fine.
(exterior)
wik can be seen looking out of the right window.
(Exterior) the camera turns 360 degree and covers the whole city. The
city is a very congested place of thousands of houses and narrow
roads(which are not visible) and a few trees here and there. There are
small hills on two side of the city(east and south).
Most of the houses are intact or almost intact. There are a few fallen
houses but most of them are intact besides a hole or a crumbling walls
or so. There is no life anywhere, though.
(interior)wik turns around and sees anna entering the cockpit. He
simply and calmly looks at her. there is no sign of any pain or
frustration on his face.
After a moment he thinks(still looking at her): "Only a girl gives
meaning to the meaningless existence of life."
Still looking at anna.
(exterior) the plane flies off into the sky vertically up. The black
plane below it. They get smaller and smaller as they rise up in the
blue and bright sky.
SCENE 12.
Early evening. Ample light but not very bright. clear sky.
(Exterior)The black plane is hovering behind a banyan tree.
The tree is thirty feet tall. The plane is at the mid height of the
tree. Its right wing fully out of the width of the tree but the cockpit
and the left wing inside the width.
It slowly moves to the right and comes out fully.
It is over a wide dusty black road. There are broken houses on either
side of the road.
Along one side of the road are street light poles. Most of the street
lights are broken , one of the poles is bending forward as if broken at
middle. Magically one of the lights is working and sending a cone of
orange light to the road below.
(Exterior)The white plane lands under the cone and the black plane some
way besides it.
The diameter of the cone is not big enough to engulf the whole plane.
Wik comes out of the white plane and moves towards the opposite side
of the road pointed by the nose of the white plane.
He sits on a debris stone and looks at the white plane and the row of
broken street lights in the distance. The sky was still blue but
darker.
Far away sounds of metal hitting metal and voices are heard. The planes
are being repaired.
SCENE 13.
Daytime. Ample light. Clear white-blue sky. Noon time.
A building hundred feet wide and sixty feet high.
The planes are hovering thirty meter infront of the building at a
height of fifty feet.
The width of the building facing the plane.
The building seems very old though it is not crumbling from anywhere.
It is whitewashed yellow which has faded and weathered with rain and
winds.
There are black square windows some large and some small. There are
thin metal shades fixed into the area above the windows to protect them
from rain. The metal was black but rusted therefore a little red. There
is a huge wooden entrance gate into the building. it is at the left
part of the building, the left most part of the building is shaped like
a tower ten feet wide but with a flat roof. The front wall of the
building as it moved to the left most side curved into a semi circle
forming into a tower. A tower with a flat roof.
The roof of the building is flat but has four small spires at the four
corners.
There is a free space of thirty feet around the building. There are
some ten or fifteen trees in the free space infront of the building.
Beyond the building there is a barren hard soil plain and a few dusty
trees.
(The building is at the northern edge of the city, the city is a ruined
one(like the destroyed city of the world war). Though this city is not
completely ruined . it is a small city and there are a fair number of
intact houses.)
The building is perfectly intact.
(Interior) white plane. Cockpit. Unlit but not dark.
Mark looking out of the front window. Nicole and anna looking out of
the right and the left window respectively.
Wik standing in the middle looking out of the front window.
Nicole looking out of the right window notices a eight foot steel robot
standing on the empty ground infront of the building.
There is a banyan tree five feet behind him and some five feet to the
right. There is a peacock like bird(infact exactly like a peacock in
shape, size and color) some six feet behind him and four feet to its
left.
The atmospheric or the light of the star is not falling on the robot or
on the bird or the ground around them. The tree is providing the shade
though the robot and the bird are not standing directly under the tree,
but the tree has long branches. And there are many other trees in the
close vicinity.
There are dry twigs and dry leaves in the soil on which the robot is
standing. The ground is not filled with twigs or dry leaves but there
are twigs and leaves scattered here and there. Some twigs are half
buried in the soil while others relatively young are lying over the
surface. There are some small red and yellow flower buds on the ground
too.
The soil on the surface is neither very hard nor very soft.
The bird after a few seconds of covering a few meters and pecking the
beak at the ground opens its wings wide like a peacock.
The robot with its gray white eyes watches the plane, the bird with its
wings spread visible clearly behind him.
(Interior) nicole: "look, a robot."
Everybody turns and looks out of the right window.
(exterior) the robot suddenly fires a shot at the white plane with the
gun in its right hand.
It than turns 180 degree around and runs the twenty feet towards the
huge wooden weathered door.
It open the door and runs inside. The door is wooden and painted green.
(Exterior)The planes move forward. The white plane hovers down to the
area infront of the gate. The plane is just a feet from the ground.
Through the wide open gate a small hall can be seen and a tree growing
from the center of the hall to the roof above.
The floor is cemented gray.
The black plane is at the height of twenty feet. It is some ten feet
behind the white plane.
The path leading to the wooden door is a raised one. It rises at an
angle of thirty degree.
It is made up of flat stones(unfurnished and unpolished) embedded into
the hard soil.
The robot is running up a dark and damp and narrow cement stairs. There
are walls on either side of the stairs.
The stairs without turning lead upto the roof. The roof is a cemented
floor.
There are small dry twigs and small dry excreta of the birds stuck onto
the roof.
The roof is dark with excessive rain at some places in small patches.
There are four small spires on the four corners of the roof.
The robot moves to the perimeter of the roof. There are dry twigs and
dry excreta where he stands and some pigeon like bird fly away from the
spot.
The boundary wall around the roof is a cemented whitewashed one. The
whitewashed old and dry and weathered.
The robot looks down at the plane and fires at the black one and runs
back down the stairs.
(exterior) the black plane raises its nose at an angle of fifty degree
and moving it right to left fires at the roof.
(exterior) the black plane rises up and reaches the roof hovering five
feet over the roof area. Keeping itself still it moves its nose around
searching for the robot.
after a while of sometimes moving the nose and sometimes moving itself
as a whole
it hover down to the white plane.
(Interior) black plane.
Black computer screen with white characters .
Computer screen: "WIK, ANNA AND NICOLE GOING INTO THE BUILDING."
(Interior) white plane.
Computer screen. Green computer screen with white characters.
Computer screen: "JIM AND MARY WILL JOIN THEM."
(exterior) wik, anna and nicole jump out onto the ground. They are
dressed in green military uniform with helmets and bullet proof
jackets. The jackets are green in color but they are thin as a shirt
and can be worn like a shirt.
Mary and Jim too jump out dressed in same attire.
(exterior) the group moves on the raised path of embedded stone and
into the building through the door. The door is painted green.
They enter through the door into a hall that is open to sky.
Wik looks up and notices the tree growing in the middle of the hall
going straight up the to the roof.
It was three storey building. wik saw as he looked up that there were
three balconies one over the other. The balconies, one over the top of
other, were single and unbroken running around the hall. they were made
of cement.
As one entered through the main(the large wooden green door) door just
to the left there is a narrow and dark and damp cemented stairs going
up to the first level. There are walls on both sides of the stairs.
Wik leads the group and they move to the first level. The steps without
turning leads them to the first floor.
Large hall unlit and dark but visibility is there.(width 20 feet and
length 30 feet.)
They move some distance into the hall.
The floor is even white cement.
There are four doors on the left side of the hall which are painted
green. The walls are gray cement which in the darkness is almost black.
Wik turns his face right and sees a small room in the wall. The floor
of this room is a foot lower than the floor the group is walking on.
There is a five foot statue in that small room and a yellow lamp is
burning on its head. It is a white statue of a octopus like creature
which is draped in red and white clothes. The lamp over it illuminated
just the room and send no light onto the hall outside. The statue is
made up of polished white stone.
There are two thin dull red cemented pillars attached at both sides of
the doorway of the room. The pillars are the height of the door.
Wik looks up and sees that the roof is a gray cement with concentric
circles as designs.
The group forms into a circle with a four feet diameter and slowly move
forward.
There is a open door at other end of the hall.
The group cautiously walked through the dark hall.
Suddenly small(size of sparrow) bat like creatures fluttered off from
the dark cement ceiling. The birds circled the ceiling, some circled
the group and than first in one and two's and than in groups went out
of the hall.
(The birds made no noise.) the birds were around twenty in number.
The hall is thirty feet long and in the middle( at 15 feet) there are
three long steps running the width of the hall. The width of the steps
is just half a foot.
There are cemented white.
The steps take down to the second half of the floor.
The group walks down.
There is a wide rectangular gap in the middle of this second half of
the hall.
The gap is not made by some explosion but it is an architectural
design.
There is a cement wall around the hole painted white. The color had
faded and is almost non existent.
The group divides into two and moves towards the door at the end.
There is a skeleton of a tree with bare white branches growing out from
the ground below the rectangular gap. The ground is filled with dry
twigs and small concrete debris and bird excreta. The branches reaching
the height of the boundary wall of the gap. The floor above too had a
rectangular gap(small size and shape). And that gap was just above the
gap on the floor that the group was walking on. The white blue sky
visible through the gaps. But the light falling from sky illuminated
just the gap, the hall around the gaps were darker.
Wik turns his face right and see a small and dark veranda. A dark
veranda with a red cemented floor. There are two door on the other end
of the veranda in the walls. The walls are cemented red brown. Both
doors opened inside.
There is pitch darkness in those rooms. Nothing visible.
The doorway is painted green.
Wik turns to others on the other side of the gap and say: "nothing
visible."
Anna and wik together and Jim and Mary and nicole on the other side.
Nicole answers: "duck down."
Anna and wik hide behind the boundary wall of the gap.
Nicole fires a bullet into the room.
The bullet explodes into white light and illuminates the room.
Everyone looks inside.
The room was all empty and very small. It was windowless.
Suddenly the door towards which the group was moving is filled with the
huge shape of the robot. The door is eight feet high and three feet
wide, it is filled with the robot completely. The robot is gold in
color.
The robot fires from the gun in its right hand.
The bullets hit the floor and the walls sending small pieces of gray
white concrete around the figures. The robot retreats and hides.
Wik looks down at his jacket and see black spots, the jacket had saved
his life.
Anna , bending down, moves towards the door. wik standing upright over
and behind her guns pointed ahead.
On the other side, Mary and nicole leading. Jim behind them.
Suddenly the robot runs from right to the left crossing the door and
firing.
All besides Jim fire at the robot.
The impact of the bullets fired by nicole and anna bore a three feet
wide hole in wall infront.
Through the hole the huge golden steel chest of the robot is seen
crossing from one side to the other.
Everyone except Jim fires(who is stuck behind Mary and nicole).
Anna runs towards and outside the door.
Here the floor is just concrete. The walls on the right and the left
side are missing(they were never built.) on the left side: outside the
building there is a date palm tree growing close by and plain land
beyond it. Its leaves one meter from the floor. On the right side, at a
distance of fifteen meters or so are tree tops and the clear white blue
sky.
In the middle, there are cement stairs going upto the roof.
Anna looks around but sees no one.
She hears footsteps overhead. She looks up and fires at the roof.
Wik and Jim run up the damp and narrow stairs. There are cemented walls
on both sides of the stairs.
Wik and Jim reach the cement roof. There are dry twigs and small dry
black bird excreta stuck onto the cement floor. The floor is dark at
some places with excessive rain.
The robot was hit by the bullets of anna and was almost non functional.
It was still standing, its back to wik and Jim. It slowly turned around
and as it tried to raise its gun wik and Jim opened fire. Due to the
impact of the bullets the robot moved (almost falling)backwards. It
fall down near the two feet high cement boundary wall. The wall was
whitewashed but the color had faded and weathered. The cement was
visible.
The robot falls. Its back to the wall and its right hand over the wall.
It was dead. It was still afternoon.
(Exterior)
Planes are hovering some two feet over the ground in front of the main
wooden gate.
Wik and the group come out of main door. Wik is at the back. Other move
towards their respective planes, wik is walking slowly. It is evening
now and the star had set behind the building but there was clear
visibility and ample light though not very bright.
As wik walked down the stony pavement, the peacock like bird gave out
an exact replica of the call of the peacock. The bird was somewhere on
the roof and not visible but the voice distinct and clear. After a few
seconds, as wik walked down the stony pavement, it again gave out a
cry. A beautiful smile break loose on the tense but beautiful face of
wik.
Wik standing besides the white plane looks around and see the trees and
the soil and the building and than gets inside the plane. As he puts
his right step into the plane the bird again gave out a cry.
(interior) white plane. cockpit.
Wik speaking: "nothing is there in the building. we checked it."
Wik(speaking slowly as if to himself) : " the robot must be a left over
from the war……….it must be hundred years old or more."
(exterior) the white plane turns 180 degree and than rise up in the sky
vertically up.
than the black plane turns 180 degree and rises up in the sky.
SCENE 14.
Clear blue sky. Daytime. Late afternoon.
(exterior)The planes are flying slowly almost inching forward on the
barren hard brown pain land with shades of red. there is no grass or
stones or hills.
The planes are some ten meters over a narrow black asphalt road in that
plain.
(Interior)white plane. Cockpit unlit. Wik, anna and nicole looking out
of the right window and see some thirty feet away a stone wall made of
black unpolished stones running across the plain. The wall is ten feet
high. It is weathered and dirty with excessive rain. There is dirty
black moss on it at many places. What is on the other side of the wall
cannot be seen.
(exterior)To the left of planes very close to the planes is date palm
tree. Its leaves just two meters from the left window of the white
plane.
(Interior)white plane cockpit. Mark looking out of the front window
sees the hard plain and the road and the wall and the few date palm
trees scattered over the place.
There are no other structures on the landscape.
The date palm tree and its leaves visible very close in the left
window.
Wik, anna and nicole standing besides the right window and looking out
of it
SCENE 15.
Daytime. Noon. Clear blue sky and ample light.
(exterior) the black plane is behind the white plane.
The planes are hovering some ten feet over the ground. They are on a
plain , barren hard red-brown plain. They are on the edge of that
plain. There is hundred feet deep gorge or valley at the edge and a
hill at the other end of the valley.
The hill is made up brittle brown rock, hard soil and is covered by
trees. The trees are close to one another but not so close that the
sunlight can't reach the bottom like in the rain forests.
The valley is forty feet wide and there is a small stream flowing in
the middle. The stream is three inches deep and is very clear. The hard
black rock surface visible below the stream. There are black algae
stuck on to some rocks in the stream.
To the left of planes, over at the plain, some thirty feet to their
left is a water sprinkler. It is two feet in height and there is a date
palm tree growing beside it. High very high above the date palm are
black eagle like birds circling in the clear blue and scorching sky.
The birds are very high up. The date palm is fully grown tree. Besides
the tree there is nothing growing over the plain.
The sprinkler is working and throwing water in a wide circle over the
plain and into the
valley below.
The water is going above and over the planes, without wetting them.
The planes inch forward and then hover down into the valley below.
The planes are now a inch over the valley floor.
Mark and wik jump out dressed into green military dress but without
helmets.
Teri and Jim jump out in the same dress out of the black plane.
They walk towards a building some twenty feet from them.
The building is along the wall of the valley(not along the hill side).
It is like a temple or a church.
It is a ten feet wide, twenty feet long and twenty feet high building.
There is a square veranda in the building which is open from three
side.
There are two pillars supporting the roof above the veranda. The
pillars are dull white stone.
As the group walked towards the building the water from the sprinkler
comes from behind the group and goes by wetting wik.( no one laughs or
really pays any attention) The water than circles around the building
an goes over to the plain above.
The group climbs the three steps on to the veranda. It is smoothly
polished white stone veranda. There are flowery design on the roof
above. It is made up of white stone too.
There is a small room at the other end.
There is statue in it and some paintings on the wall, there are dry
leaves and dirty water around the statue. The statute looked more or
less like a human being besides the round big blue eyes and the many
arms. The paintings on the walls are of deities standing alone in a
forest and standing on the beach with the green white disturbed sea
behind.
It is draped in white and yellow clothes.
Wik : "statue of a deity."
Jim: "could not save its people but ended up saving itself quite well."
Wik gives out a loud happy naive laugh(he really enjoyed the joke).
Teri turns around see the planes getting wet by the water sprinkler as
the water comes circling by.
The planes are hovering just an inch from the floor.
Teri: "the sprinkler must have working for the last hundred years or
so……..must be working on a nuclear powered motor."
SCENE 16.
Daytime. Clear sky. Early evening. Ample light but not as scorching and
as bright as the midday time. It is not dark at all, there is ample
light and the star is still in the sky.
Wik, Jim, Mary and anna in a house. The house is a two storey building.
it is made up of bricks cemented together, plastered and than
whitewashed pink.
The building is narrow, it is around fifteen feet wide and over thirty
feet long.
The group is on the second floor. they are in a small hall. the hall is
open to sky, there is a rectangular gap above them in the roof. The gap
is filled with iron bars to stop birds but let the fresh air come in.
The hall they are standing on has a rectangular gap that is just below
the gap above and of the same size and shape. It too is filled with
iron bars.
The hall has rooms around it. The rooms are small.
The doors of the room are open into the rooms itself and are painted
light green, they are wooden. There are two rooms in the north
direction , one in the east and one in the south.
In the room in the north direction there is a bed along a wall, a TV in
front of it. there are big windows in the rooms in the north direction
which have horizontal iron bars. There are some steel utensils lying on
the cemented floor. There is a table fan on a wooden stool, the stool
two feet high.
(no light is falling in the through the widows but there is clear
visibility)
The room in the east is very narrow and dark. It looked like a kitchen
with its narrow shelves dirty and black and filthy. The shelves are jam
filled with steel utensils of all shape and sizes. The floor is gray
cement.
Over the doorway of this kitchen there is narrow long white tubelight.
The west side wall of the house is completely absent. It was blown away
by an explosion. It is cleanly absent as if it were never there.
From the absent wall a stream is visible some forty meters away.
It is not more than three feet deep and there are rising stone
pavements on either side of it. At one end there is stone bridge over
the stream.
The stream along with the pavements is not more than fifteen feet wide.
Its water clear.
There is a large hard red plain beyond it and a few date palm trees
scattered here and there and houses far at the other end looking very
small.
The room in the south is foot above the floor of the hall the group is
standing on.
There is black crack running from the absent west wall into the floor
of the hall and onto the pink wall in the east up to the tubelight over
the room.
The crack is not wide just a bit more than an inch wide crack but
looked ominous.
Jim turns and walks into the room in the south.
The room is dark and windowless, it is not small but it was made small
by the objects in it.
There is a double bed, a dressing table , a steel almirah and a
television set.
The objects are so close to each other that there is a small alley left
in the room to walk about. There is a narrow shelves at the bottom of
the wall infront of the bed filled with books and papers and packages
wrapped in a white polythene.
There is two feet wide slab running the length of the wall(the wall
infront of the bed).
The slab is embedded into the wall some two feet below the roof thereby
forming a shelf.
The shelf is covered with a dark thin silk cloth forming a curtain
hanging down from the roof to the slab.
Below the slab and over the shelves(the one filled with books) is a
painting of the deity that the group had seen in the valley. This time
the deity is without its numerous arms and had only two arms(the deity
is exactly like a human being besides the large round blue eyes). The
deity is standing infront a wild green white sea, the clothes of the
deity waving wildly in the air. The clothes are white(the chest is bare
and the white cloth is wrapped around the waist). The deity has a
wooden stick in his right hand.
Jim looks at the painting and turns his face 180 degree to face wik who
is standing two feet behind him.
There is humor and amusement on the face of Jim as if he were sharing a
private joke.
Wik bursts out laughing.
Anna who is standing in the hall smiles at the sound of laughter and
walks towards the room. She stands at the doorway and understands what
it is all about.
Anna with a friendly reproach: "wik, you both making fun of god."
Wik replies friendlily: "he made a joke of the lives of his own people,
didn't he."
SCENE 17.
Daytime. Noon. Clear sky.
Wik and Jim standing outside the door of a room. They are dressed in
military dress with
helmets and guns. They are on the first floor of a two storey house.
The house is narrow
and old. There is a wide rectangular gap in the middle of the floor
that they are standing
on. There are no iron bars in this gap to keep the birds away. There is
a gap on the second
floor just above this gap and that is devoid of bars too.
There is a slim one and a half foot high boundary wall around the gaps.
The walls
whitewashed but the whitewash is old and yellow and crumbling.
In the alley around the gap are anna and nicole. Anna is in the front
and nicole is standing three feet behind her. They are dressed in
military uniform with guns but without the helmets. They have jet black
glasses on.
There are two room opposite each other in this hall, the rectangular
gap between them
and there are plain wall in the rest two directions.
The walls are whitewashed, the whitewash old and yellow. It has come
out from many
places in tiny tiny chunks and leaving the walls filled with tiny
blotches(the concrete has
not been revealed. The blotches are still white).
Wik and Jim are standing outside the door of a room. The door is open
into the room. The
door is thick wooden and painted green. Wik and Jim are standing in the
small veranda
outside the room. The floor of the veranda uneven concrete. On either
side of the
doorway are two black boxes(suitcases) one on the top of other.
The boxes are black and rusted and dusty and old. The black color has
also peeled off
from some spots.
They enter inside. The room is dark but there is clear visibility.
The floor is uneven concrete. there are no windows.
There is a bed lying along a wall. The wall is plain concrete and looks
dark. The bed is a
wooden one, its chest made up of jute roped wrapped around the skeleton
of the bed. The
wood unpolished.
There is a grain grinder lying besides the door. It is two circular and
flat stones lying one
on the top of the other. the diameter of the rocks one and a half feet
and thickness five
inches. There is a wooden handle protruding out of the rock on the top.
There is a two
inch wide circular hole in the rock on the top. These two rocks are in
turn in another rock.
This third rock is two feet in diameter and is like a small circular
bath tub.
There is a dump of clothes lying in one corner and a shelf in the wall
behind it.
The shelf is three feet long and half feet in width. It is a stone
shelf and no wood had
been used. There are books thin and some thick lying on the shelf. They
have been
covered with newspapers and the newspapers looks old and yellow.
There is a small wooden stool lying in another corner.
Wik and Jim come out.
They walk up the narrow steep stone stairs on to the next level. There
are walls on either side of the stairs. The walls are painted white
which had become dirty and yellow.
They reach the second floor. Helmets removed.
The stairs deposit them in a small hall. The hall is mostly empty.
The floor gray cement. There is a small white ceiling fan on the
ceiling. Its white wings dirty with small black dirt. There is a small
stone shelf in one of the walls of the hall. The shelf is empty.
Its wall whitewashed luminescent blue but had got dirty with time. The
shelf is also painted in the same blue color. The blue walls are dirty.
There are very tiny black particles all over the walls. It looks as if
the dirt is a part of the wall. There is door opening into a small room
and another one opening into the roof.
The gate opening onto the roof is wide and without a door. The doors
are exactly opposite each other.
There is chair in the middle of the hall.
It is a canned chair but of the cheapest quality. The canned wood was
not painted, it was natural yellow. The wood canes are thin and
round(half a centimeter thick). The canned wood used in the chair was
thin and looked weak, so weak that one could peal out thin splinters
from the canes on after the other. The back portion was high, from the
bottom to the top it was four feet. The several canned wood running
from the top of the chair to the bottom formed the hundred of legs.
The seat too was a criss cross of the thin canned wood. To hold the
thin canned wood together a black rubber like substance had been used.
The substance looked exactly like the tyers of a bicycle.
The substance was stuck around the bottom of the chair in a circle
around the canes.
The arms were formed by the canes running from the bottom to the arm
height. To cover the uncomfortable tops of the cane, the tops were
covered with tyre like substance.
Wik and Jim moved forward. Wik turned right into the room. It was a
small room with a single window filled with vertical iron bars. The
window is the wall exactly opposite the door. This room along with its
doorway is a foot higher than the floor of the hall outside. The room
is rectangular in shape. It is ten feet long a six feet wide. There is
a bed lying along a wall( the shorter wall i.e. six feet).
The bed is three feet high. It is made up of polished dark wood. Its
legs are thick. Its chest is made up of coarse strips of clothes
tightly wrapped around its skeleton. There is a thick bed sheet spread
in a proper manner on the bed. It was of the same color as of the dark
polished wood of the bed. Some of the polish at the lower part of the
bed's legs had come out revealing the rough light brown wood. The floor
is dark gray cement.
The walls are the same blue with tiny dirt.
There is a poster of a deity on the wall besides the door. the poster
seemed more like a page tone out of a calendar. The deity is standing
on a brown plain , a thin white cloth draped around his waist and a
group of people kneeled before him praying to him.
There is a small wooden cupboard on the shorter wall. The cupboard is
three feet wide and three feet tall. It is not embedded into the wall
but stuck on to it with cement.
There is mirror in the middle of the cupboard and small drawers around
the mirror.
The cupboard is made up of dark polished wood. There is stone slab
embedded into the same wall some two feet below the roof running the
length of the wall. There is a thin dark silk cloth hanging down from
the roof to the slab. The cloth is filled with design in yellow and
dull red and brown.
In the corner on the floor below are two black iron boxes rusted and
dusty. they are one on the top of other. There is an old light brown
table fan on them.
Wik comes out. Jim is standing on the doorway that opens to the roof,
his back to wik.
They both move out on to the roof. Just two feet outside the doorway is
a rectangular gap. There is an electric bulb just over the doorway. The
gap is exactly above the gap on the floor below. There is a thin
whitewashed boundary wall around the gap. The whitewash old and yellow.
There is a small alley going around the gap. To the right of gap along
the side boundary wall of the roof is a stone water tank on the floor.
The floor is even gray-white concrete. The tank is square and painted
dark yellow, it is three wide and high. They walk around the gap to the
second half of the roof. This half of the roof is two inch higher than
the first half. This part is ten feet long and non feet wide. There is
a metal bed here. The chest of the bed is a criss cross of flat metal
rods. The bed has been painted yellow. The paint has come out of a some
places revealing the black metal surface below.
The front boundary wall of the roof is less than three feet high. The
boundary wall of the roof is whitewashed, which has turned yellow. The
front boundary wall has three round holes in a row which are three inch
wide. There is a gap of two feet between consecutive holes.
On the left side boundary wall is a plant growing in an earthen. The
plant is three feet high and has green very small leaves.
There is a narrow street in front of the house and there are houses
lined on either side.
Most of the houses are one storey. The exactly in front is a large
square but unfinished. Its bricks visible and the boundary wall of the
roof absent.
Beyond this house are a couple of banyan trees.
Wik and Jim are standing near the front boundary wall looking at the
trees.
Wik turns around and sees anna and nicole standing in the alley around
the gap. Nicole in front and anna a foot behind her. Their jet black
glasses still on.
It is early evening and the light is not so bright. The sky is clear
and there is coolness in the atmosphere. There was no direct light
falling on the roof but there was ample light in the atmosphere and
clear visibility.
SCENE 18.
Daytime. Clear sky. Ample light.
(Exterior)The planes are just meters over the congested city. The
houses are narrow and high. Most of the houses are two or even three
storey high. They are all made up of bricks cemented together and than
plastered and than whitewashed. Some were whitewashed red, other green,
some gray while quite a few were just bare bricks without any plaster
and whitewash. There has been no wood used anywhere in the houses
besides the doors.
All houses have flat roofs. There is no space between consecutive
houses and no private small gardens or parking space.
The streets are very narrow and dusty. There are small shallow open
drains on either side of the streets.
(Exterior)The planes hover at their places.
SCENE 19.
Daytime. Sky completely overcast with the layer of white clouds. It is
raining heavily. It is not a torrential rain but it is not drizzling
either. It is much more than a drizzle. Though the sky is overcast it
is not dark(like night) or gloomy. There is clear visibility.
The planes are hovering some thirty feet over a wide(fifteen feet
wide) straight black road. The road is in perfect condition. It is
completely empty. No sign of life or activity.
The road is perfectly clean and has been given a thorough wash by the
rain.
To the right of the road are houses. The houses are very wide and are
one storey high.
The width of the houses facing the road.
The houses are intact and in perfect conditions. There is a lot of gap
between consecutive houses(more than twelve feet ). There is private
garden in front of all the houses running along the face of the house.
There is trimmed lush green grass in the garden and a few small plants.
There is a short stone boundary wall surrounding each house along with
its garden. And in those boundary walls is a metal gate(three feet and
five feet wide). The gate is made up of flat iron rods molded in some
very simple geometric designs or lines.
The rods painted yellow.
Between the road and the boundary wall is again some small private
garden running the face of the house. This garden is a little rough.
The grass here is yellow here and there and there are small stones and
pebbles lying about. There are a few dry yellow leaves and twigs too.
Though the grass in this garden is trimmed too but looks more rough and
uncared for.
Just behind the houses are huge trees. They are over fifty feet tall
and are very dense and lush green. The trees are not very wide, they
are tall an high.
The trees are so close to each other that they form a solid wall behind
the houses.
The roof of the houses is flat. To the left of the road is a huge park,
its grass and trees lush green. There are trees lined along the
perimeter of the park. The trees are exactly like the trees behind the
houses.
The planes turn on the searchlights on the nose. Each planes has one
searchlight attached on its nose.
The searchlights are now beaming on the top of the trees behind the
houses.
(inside the house) room. It is neither a big room nor a small one.
There are two windows: one facing the garden other facing the trees at
the back. Both have their blinds on.
There is a small wooden desk and a wooden chair. The chair facing the
desk. There is a wooden cupboard running along the height of the room.
There is bed lying along the window that faces the backyard.
There are white papers and books piled one on the top of other on the
desk. There is lamp on the desk which is off. The floor is made up dark
polished stone and is clean.
There is a music system in the room too.
There are no lights on in the room and it is darker than outside.
Though it is dark in the room but there is clear visibility.
A robot with gray white eyes is sitting on the chair. It is not more
than six feet high. Its steel skin white.
The robot saw the searchlights, on the trees in the backyard, through
the window.
Outside the planes had hovered down to two or three meters over the
road.
Wik, Jim , Mary and nicole jump out of their respective planes.
They all dressed in green military uniform(without the helmets) guns in
hand.
They run towards the house. Jim opens the metal gate in the boundary
wall and the group enters the garden inside.
The robot picking up a steel gun open the polished wooden gate and come
out in the garden and in the rain. The rain drops glistening on its
metal skin and sliding down his body. It opens fire. Bullets hit Jim in
the chest and he falls down. The robot retreats back into the room and
closes the door.
(exterior) the black plane, which is some thirty feet over the road,
turns its nose some 45 degree in the direction of the house and open
fire. The bullets hit the wall and the window.
(Inside the house) the robot is standing besides the window, his back
to the wall.
He watches as the bullets shatter the blinds of the window.
Wik helps Jim to get up and the group moves outside and hides behind
the boundary wall. They are on the private garden outside the boundary
wall, the one which is not taken care off really well. The bullet proof
jacket had saved Jim's life.
The distance between the house and the plane is some forty feet.
(Inside the house) the robot runs through the length of the house ,
opens a polished wooden door and comes out from other end of the house.
It stands in the rain and fires at the black plane. The black plane is
not firing.
(exterior)the black plane moves the searchlight on to the face of the
robot. The rain drops shining in the shaft of light.
(exterior)The white plane is some ten twenty feet to the right of black
plane. It is over the garden of one of the houses.
(exterior)The white plane too moves the searchlight in the direction of
the robot.
The light falls on the robot. The rain drops shining in the shaft of
light.
The robot open fire and retreats back into the house closing the door
behind him.
(exterior)The white plane moves forward and reaches the garden of this
house. It hovers down to the ground, just a meter over the garden.
It is near that door out of which the robot had just come out. it just
some meters from the door(five or six).
It fires it gun(bullets) at the wooden door. the bullets make a shred
out of the wooden door and hit the robot which was running towards the
door at the other end.
The robot is still functional and turns and fires back at the plane.
One of the bullets hit the front screen making a web of circles.
(exterior)The white planes slowly rises vertically up.
(exterior) the black plane fires at the house and some of the bullets
hit the mark. The robot is still standing but the but wavering slightly
side to side as if reeling under and the impact of the bullets.
(Exterior) the white plane again hovers down to the ground. It is just
some three or four meters from the door(which had been reduced to
shreds) and opens fire.
The bullets hit the robot and it falls down. Dead.
The white plane rises vertically up and than touches down at the road
outside. The black plane lands after and behind it. The engines dir
down after a hum.
The rain stops.
The group which was hiding behind the wall rises up and enter the
garden through the metal gate.
They reach the gate out of which the robot had first come out. there is
a round metal knob on the gate. Wik turns it and the door opens inside.
Wik moves inside and stands in the middle of the room looking at the
cupboards.
Jim takes up a book from the desk and opens it. there are printed words
on the pages but in a language no human being understands.
Wik turns his head and looks at the bed. He moves and lies down on his
back on the bed.
Mary open the cupboard and finds it half filled with clothes, books,
papers and packages.
Nicole coming into the room after checking the robot.
Nicole: "it is dead."
Wik : "another left over from the war…must be at least hundred years
old…but took great care of the house. It is perfect."
Jim slightly tossing over a book to him: "take a look."
Wik goes through the pages.
Wik : "can't understand."
The group comes out of the house after sometime. There was a break in
the clouds over the trees in the backyard of the house. It was a circle
of clear sky. The shining clear blue sky visible in the large gap.
The group moves on the black road outside. Water has collected in pools
on the road.
(Exterior) the group members get inside their respective planes and the
planes take off. The pools of water on the clean black road below
reflecting the shining blue sky.
The sky is still partly overcast with white clouds.
SCENE 20.
(another completely ruined city)
Daytime. Ample light and clear sky.
Wik, anna and nicole are walking among the ruins. The ruins are mostly
flat. Small green Grass is growing in the ruins. The grass glistening
in the light of the star.
There are many enemy plane wreckages lying among the ruins. The planes
are shaped like fighter jets. Some planes are saucer shaped. All are
dusty and battered badly. They are lying flat on their stomach.
Wik walks inside one of the planes. The plane has huge rectangular
holes in its body. Wik walked inside the plane through one such hole.
He has a gun in his left hand. He picks up dry creepers on the nose of
the gun and lightly throws them. He walks through the plane which is
mostly empty besides hanging wires and creepers and moss and splinters
and iron rods.
Wik: "nothing works here."
He walks out of the plane and sees Jim coming out of another wreckage
some twenty meters from them.
Wik comes out and joins nicole and anna.
The black and white plane are hovering some one feet over the ground.
The planes are some forty meters from them.
SCENE 21.
Wik and nicole standing near the wreckage of a plane among the
ruins(there are ruins and ruins all around. the city is like the
completely ruined city of the world war 2), gun in hands. The sky is
overcast with light white gray cover. It is not dark and there is ample
light. But the light is filtering in through the cloud layer so it's
not as bright as direct sunlight.
The plane is lying flat on its stomach and it shaped very much like the
black plane. Its color had faded and wearied off and there are big
holes in its hull, it is dusty outside. The plane is not huge. It is
all battered like all other planes on this planet.
The interiors of the plane clearly visible through the hole, there is
moss and creepers growing out of hole. Some creepers are dry and dead
but most are alive and green. The moss is green and alive.
Anna, gun in her left hand (pointed down), is inside the plane, kicking
at the dead creepers and looking at the broken rusted steel inside, the
cockpit is all tatters. The computer screens and the dashboard are all
broken and rusted and dusty.
Anna: "nothing works here."
SCENE 22.
The plane is not lying flat on its stomach but standing straight. It is
shaped like a saucer. It is around two hundred feet tall and thirty
feet wide. There are two big hole in its hull at its top. The holes are
six feet wide and six feet high. The plane is rusted light brown and
there are green creepers hanging out from the holes at the top. There
is two feet wide and feet high hole at the bottom too.
There are just flat ruins all around.
The area inside the holes is pitch dark and nothing is visible inside.
Anna and nicole are at the bottom of the plane, looking up.
They both crawl into the plane through the hole at the bottom.
(Interior) there is darkness all around, though not pitch dark. It is
dim darkness.
Anna and nicole stand up(their black guns in their hands). Anna looks
around and looks through the dim darkness that the plane is completely
empty and hollow.
Anna looks left up at the side hull on the top and sees the two holes
that were visible from the outside. Light is flowing in through the
holes in shafts. But the shafts are not distinct but diffused.
Anna brings her glance down just a trifle bit and sees a small spot
where the skin had peeled off. It was not a hole just the skin had
peeled off and therefore the crisscross of steel bars was visible.
Light was flowing in very translucent manner through the spot.
Nicole looking up: "nothing here."
SCENE 23.
Night time. Dark sky.
(Exterior). The planes are moving just ten feet above the ruins on the
ground. Black plane is one meter above the end of right wing of the
white plane. The cockpits are unlit. The search lights at the nose of
the planes are on and they are sending distinct round white shafts of
light on to the ground illuminating the ruins. Each plane sending out
one shaft of light. The planes slowly move on.
SCENE 24.
Day time. Sky filled with white gray clouds. light filtering in through
the layer of clouds therefore not bright but not dark or dull either.
There are many carcasses of space ships lying around. Most ships
stripped down to bare skeleton but a few in better conditions. Many of
the ships were gray in color, few were in light yellow. The panes were
all lying on their stomachs. All dusty and battered.
Nicole, wik and Mary (all armed)on the ground among the carcasses of
the ships. Others were in their respective ships ready to meet any
danger. The ships hovering a foot above the ground.
Nicole approaches a ship in a relatively better condition, its cockpit
area mostly covered.
Nicole and Mary get inside the ship through a big hole in the side hull
and reach the cockpit area while wik stays outside. Wik stays outside
his face tensed, he is looking around all the time.
Nicole sits down on a weathered seat in front of the dashboard. A black
small intact screen can seen in the dashboard.
Nicole looking at the screen: "it may work."
There are a few small buttons besides it( like in a calculator).
She pushes a button and nothing happens. She pushes another and the
screen comes alive.
It is filled with the view of this planet seen from space. View changes
to display a place in the map, a straight white line is drawn from ,it
and stops at a place in the map. The view changes again and a pole is
shown. The view rises along the length of the pole. Again a white line
is drawn from the top of the pole straight up in the sky ending at a
star vertically above it. Space ships are shown coming from the star
and attacking this planet. The view changes to show a sketched outline
of a creature's head.. Stars are shown inside his head. The message
ends. It again starts from the beginning repeating itself.
Nicole calls out with intense excitement, happy with her discovery. Wik
comes running in, tensed.
Nicole ,simply says, looking at him: "look at this."
Nicole looks up at the front broken window of the plane and sees the
white and the black plane some forty meters away hovering a feet from
ground.
Wik's face turns from a stoic expression to a smile of comprehension,
happiness and satisfaction. A smile of victory, a way, a path.
(interior)All member: Teri and his team and mark and in his team are in
the cockpit of white plane discussing the new discovery.
Jim: "it means the enemy planes are not of this planet, they come from
the star the pole points to."
Anna : "I think the first place that the map showed is this place
itself."
Jim: "yes, we should move straight towards east looking for that pole."
Nicole: "but what does those stars in the head mean.?"
Silence.
The ground ,the planes are moving over, is a graveled yellow. there are
a few trees here and there. There is ample bright light now in the
atmosphere. The light is just like sunlight, same color and intensity.
(interior)wik standing besides the right window looks down from the
window as trees pass by just one or two meters under the window.
Wik to mark( in the plane)in a tense and quiet voice : "what I am not
able to get is how did the enemy know we are here. they could not have
send a plane here without knowing that we were here."
Mark looking out of the front window sees that the black plane has
already stopped. And it was hovering few feet above the ground.
As they approach nearer wik sees a brown red ten feet high metallic
pole and the black plane hovering in front of it some two feet above
the ground.
(exterior)Planes are landed and their doors open. It is daytime and
there is ample light but not bright like sunlight. Mark checking the
fuel tank outside the plane. Nicole checking the ammunition tank.
Anna is in her room with Mary relaxing. It is small narrow room, space
enough just for a single bed. She was listening "I want it that way"
,by one of her favorite bands of the bygone era, backstreetboys. She
watches wik pass by the door, not looking in their direction, probably
running some errand for mark. She became excited when she saw wik but
when he passed by without looking at them she despaired a little.(she
is in love with him.)
A few moments later, anna is standing in the doorway of the plane's
entrance. All The interiors of the plane brightly lit by white light.
The doorway brightly lit too. Marry is in the cockpit seated on a
chair.
Anna, with one hand on the doorway and other hanging by her side, the
interiors behind her brightly lit in white, watches wik who is standing
on the yellow ground with his hands folded over his chest looking in
the distance pointed by the white plane's nose. There is a little
despair on her face as wik has still not noticed her love for him.(he
does not know she loves him)The expressions of attraction silently
visible on her calm face(no wild display of emotions). The black plane,
facing the opposite direction, some distance besides him, Jim and Teri
on the other side of the black plane, checking it. Some noises can be
heard.(sounds of talking and metal hitting metal).
It is evening by now and the atmosphere is filled with dim cool light.
Clear sky. wik start moving in the direction pointed by the nose of the
white plane.
(interior) Mary, seated in the cockpit, looking out of the front window
far in the distance.
SCENE 25.
It is night time with thousands of stars out in the sky. The planes are
still landed. The cockpits dark. Wik is alone outside sitting on the
ground his back against the ship's rear part.
Wik thinking :
if they knew the enemy why didn't they provide a better picture of
it………. maybe here they are not trying to give its image but its most
important attribute….yes But what can those stars inside his head
mean?… He controls the stars. He is god, than( laughs self-mockingly).
..or..maybe he can see all the stars and the planets. He can watch the
space and know what is happening where……. and that's how he located us
in this planet.
Wik lies down full length besides the plane. His hands behind his head
forming support. He is looking up at the sky and there are thousands of
stars. He stares at the stars and his eyes softens a little as he say
lightly : "one of them is sun."
SCENE 26.
daytime. early afternoon. Wik outside the plane, nicole checking the
ammunition area. Rest inside their respective planes ready to take off.
The black plane's engines have started, making a low humming sound.
Suddenly wik hear a sound and look up , he sees the stainless steel
enemy planes( three in number) hovering just above the trees. The trees
are around forty feet from the landed planes.
He sees a stainless steel robot inside the cockpit of one of the
planes. Its stainless steel
Face clear and shining and its blue eyes cold and menacing.
Wik and nicole run into the plane shouting.
(exterior)The black plane rises up slowly in the air turning its nose
by some 120 degrees to the left in the direction of the planes. The
enemy planes start firing bullets at the black plane. The bullets
streaking through the calm air hit the yellow ground below sending the
small amount of yellow dust flying all around the plane. some bullets
hit the black plane without doing any serious damage, only the color
peels off from the point of impact. It is hovering some ten feet above
the ground .The black plane rapidly fires (bullets)at them. It moves
from side to side (it moves from side to side, from the right to left
and from left again to right and so on. In moving from side to side it
covers ten or more meters) covering all the planes. It is firing at all
the planes and all the enemy planes forming a semi circle in air are
firing at it.
The bullets of the enemy plane when they leave the gun barrel give out
a white burst and than streak out in the air. The bullets hit the
yellow ground below and throw out yellow dust.
The black plane is now still in its place, firing bullets.
It moves a feet or so up and down every now and than firing bullets.
(exterior)The white plane(which had risen vertically was a few feet
above ground) fires a white missile at the planes. The missiles hits
the plane which had a robot in it . The plane falls down to the ground
hitting the tree it was hovering above.
(interior) wik sitting on the left chair and watching out of the left
side window sees the bullets streak past by in the light yellow light
outside. The black plane is also visible, the yellow dust flying around
it. The black plane moves ten feet backwards, as if it had moved into a
reverse gear, firing the bullets.
(exterior)The rest two enemy planes fires bullets at the black plane
incessantly creating a rain of bullets. Their bullets could be seen
traversing through the air over the yellow graveled ground.
(interior)Mary, her face tense and frightened, raises her right arm to
her eyes as bullets hit the hull and streak past the window.
(exterior)The black plane moves twenty feet to its left simultaneously
rising in the air at an angle of 45 degrees. It is firing all the time.
It retraces its semi circle in the air and comes back to its position.
(exterior)The white plane rising high and speedily moving to its right
side fires one more missile(from the right wing) and misses the mark.
It immediately fires another(from the left wing) but misses again. The
enemy plane it was targeting rises high up vertically in the blue sky,
at an angle of 90 degree.
Mary watches out of the right side window as the nose of the white
plane rises up at the angle of 90 degree, without rising the whole
plane with it, and fire a missile which hits the mark. The enemy plane
explodes in the air and falls down the air.
(exterior)The last plane( hovering behind a tree) fires a missile at
the black plane and than rises vertically up in the air.
(exterior)As the nose of white plane was coming down back to normal,
the missile explodes just beneath the nose of black plane and send its
nose up in the sky at the angle of 90 degrees. The plane stands at the
right angle in the air for a moment and than falls back to the ground
with a thud sending yellow dust all around it. (It does not capsize.)
the explosion creates a deep and a wide hole in the nose of the plane,
a mess of stainless steel rods twisting out of the hole looking like
long grass. Its left winged area is damaged too, black color having
peeled off and a mess of steel rods protruding out. The steel rods of
the nose are black and are twisted in all the directions.
(exterior)Meanwhile the enemy plane fires incessantly at the white
plane creating dark spots in its hull.
(exterior)As the white plane turns 180 degree to face the enemy plane,
bullets hits its side hull. As soon as the white plane turn around to
meet it, the enemy plane rises vertically in the air again and comes
behind it. This time mark lifts the plane very high vertically up ,in
the air, at a very high speed and than tilts the nose down in the
direction of the enemy plane and fires bullets. The enemy plane starts
moving to its right side at a very fast speed and most of the bullets
hit the ground below sending fountains of yellow sand in air. The nose
of the white plane follows the enemy ship, now firing the laser too.
There is mayhem of laser and bullets and the enemy plane get broken
into two halves and falls to the ground.
(exterior)The white plane is landing a little way off the black plane.
(exterior)wik comes out . A thin black smoke is coming out from the
left wing area of the black plane. Wik moves towards the plane, the
dark yellow gravel below his foot making grinding sounds . He sees
there are some four or five trees in a row, behind the black plane. It
is early evening time. The light is now a little dim and cool.
(upon reaching the plane) Wik puts his palm on a small white screen
besides the door and it opens. He steps inside the cockpit. It is
unlighted. He sees dead bodies. Mary and Jim are dead in the seats(
their head hanging at their sides). The seat belts holding them tight.
Teri has been thrown back and his body is lying against the cockpit
wall.
Wik stands there not moving. He is very still and just stares at the
bodies without blinking.
(After a while.) All of them are out on the ground.
Mark to wik(unemotionally): "check these enemy planes for anything that
might be useful in repairing this plane. We need as many planes as
possible, we may be attacked again. While we prepare the ground for
the burial."
SCENE 27.
Landscape is graveled yellow and barren besides a few trees here
and there. Wik reaches the plane (one with the robot
). the hull of the ship had been blasted away. The robot could be seen
seated in front of the dashboard in the small one man cockpit.(the
robot was a replica of human shape, eyes, face cut , mouth, hand and
legs and everything was like humans)Its head hanging to one side, its
stainless steel body covered with dust. Its left hand tight around a
lever besides the seat. Wik pulls out a few wires from the plane and
walks back.
Inside the black ship he switches on the computer, after replacing the
burned wires with the new ones. Wik thinking to himself: "they know we
are here. But( wik thinking incredulously) how can a person know what
is happening all over the space. How is this possible?"
His eyes tensed with the riddle.
He comes out. Turns and looks at the hull and thinks:
"Cockpit is still intact , its deep skin saved it."
Wik(thinking): "why aren't there any creature in these enemy planes.
why are they all robotic. Their masters just sit back and watch the
happenings of the battleground….. Maybe they are watching us… right
now."
He tensely and apprehensively looks, up slowly moving his head
inspecting the sky, his face hardened.
(Some distance away)
Anna pushes small handheld silver cross in three graves. She has a
heavy gun slung over her left shoulder.
Nicole is in the cockpit, looking at the radar screen of the computer
for any danger signal. The plane's door is open , its interior unlit
and dark. Mark standing besides the plane( some way to the right of
the door), watching over anna, with a heavy gun ready to use.
Wik, with a heavy gun in his right hand, comes towards mark.
Wik to mark: "the plane's ok."
Mark(looking over anna): "we take off in a moment. You ride this
plane.(points to the black one). We have to ascertain whether the enemy
does come from that star and its bodies or not."
Wik ( a little angry): "we may never come back if the enemy catches us
and they already know we are here."
Mark(turns for an instant to look at wik and than turns his glance
back, looking over anna) : " not necessarily, maybe these planes were
already here before we came."
Wik: "but what could they be doing on a ruined planet like this?"
Mark(a little frustrated .Again turning back to look at him for an
instant): "maybe looking for raw materials."
Wik: "but they must have sent a report back to their planet."
Mark(unemotionally and without turning): "maybe not, they might have
thought they could handle us on their own and that two planes were not
worth reporting about. And see, we have to check whether the
information in that video was true or not. We can't have thousands of
our planes coming here leaving the earth unguarded and finding that it
was a goof."
Wik( after a pause , finding his arguments convincing): "ok."
SCENE 28.
(Exterior)the camera moves towards the nose of the black ship, the
black ship moving in the dark space, twisted steel rods coming out in a
deep mesh from the nose. The camera moves towards the left wing,
twisted rods are coming out of it too. The camera stays at its place:
the wing moves forward, the rear part of the black plane comes into
view. The rear part too moves forward. The White plane is seen
following behind.(CUT)
( No stars or any other heavenly body visible. Space dark and silent.)
(interior)Wik is alone in the ship. cockpit is dark, its lights not
working.
He is seated on the chair besides the right window and looking out (of
the right window)at the dark space.
His right palm supporting the chin. His right elbow on the right arm of
the chair.
He silently keeps looking out.
(interior)In the white ship: anna and nicole , in the room of anna,
lying on the soft white bed, its sheet cover white. The room lit by
white light. The walls gray in color and the shelf area in the darker
shade of gray.
On the shelf in the wall is a photograph of her father and a small
sleek music system. Their faces tensed.
Nicole starts crying; and wiping tears out of her face with the back of
her right hand but it is the cuff of her shirt that wipes the tears.
Nicole's head on Anna's shoulder. Anna's hand around her. after a
moment.
Anna: "lets listen to some music."
Switches on her music system.
The music travels slowly through the alleys of the ship, to the dark
corners and to the ceiling.( it is slow instrumental music.)
Inside the black ship(plane absolutely silent). Wik asleep in the
chair. His head hanging to his right side.
(After a moment.)
He stirs slowly , opens his eyes and(slightly rising up) looks around
trying to remember where he was.
The look of recognition coming to his tense face, softening the
tenseness a little. He is still tensed. He has been tense ever after
the loss of Teri and others. He immediately starts thinking(settling
back in his chair)slowly:
"whether mark believes it or not I know the enemy knows we are here
otherwise what could four planes be doing on a ruined planet liked
that."
He turns in his seat to face the left side window looking out in the
dark space: "but why do they attack in such small numbers. And why are
these planes always robotic…………… The enemy must be very low in number
therefore making its life so precious."
Wik is tired and perplexed. He feels alone. He has the look of a person
who is going out to meet the unexpected, all alone. He is filled with
fear.
He looks at the front window, stretches his legs out. The cockpit and
the space outside is pitch black, no stars or any other body visible .
Wik(thinking slowly):"why is no enemy ship stopping us. Maybe mark is
right the enemy does not know we are here. But the fact that they
always strike at the right time tells that we are being watched all the
time…. They know we are here.(slowly and hesitantly looks out of the
left window at the mesh of steel rods coming out of the wing)
(turns and looks back at the front window) the low plane numbers mean
only one thing
that the enemy is short of resources. That is why they attack in such
few numbers. They depend solely on striking at the right time… but how
they get this information about who is where is beyond me…… unless my
theory about the stars in the head is correct…. that the enemy is
connected to the space and therefore it knows everything that is
happening in this universe."
He moves his right palm on his face slowly from the forehead down to
the chin. He looks up ,his face fearful and tensed.
Wik slowly thinking with fear: " what will happen?"
He rises up from the seat and sits down on the floor besides the seat,
his back against the left window. His head bent down. (after a few
moments:)
He slowly turns his head left towards the front screen and sees a few
stars(closely huddled together) at the top right corner, rest of the
screen filled with dark space. Wik thinking(still looking out to the
stars):"They never thought that a dying civilization knew about their
whereabouts and could leave some information about it …..and that some
other civilization could find it years after its death."
(exterior) the black plane slowly but steadily moving in the dark and
silent space. Steel rods jutting out in a mesh from the nose and the
left wing area.
(interior)In the white ship: anna and nicole sleeping, in Anna's
room.(music has stooped) Nicole's head on Anna's arm. The room lit in
the bright white light.
In the cockpit. Mark is checking the fuel tank and the ammunition area
on the computer screen. Cockpit is dark. The computer screen
fluorescent green in color. He slowly turns and looks in the left side
window and sees a big white planet going past( no stars or any other
body visible) . Only half of the white planet visible the other half
already gone past the window. He turns and looks at the front window.
And sits on the chair. His head bent down looking at the floor below.
SCENE 29.
(Interior) inside the black plane(he is awake after the nights sleep).
wik is slowly walking in a dark metal netted alley towards the cockpit.
His head bent down a little. The cockpit is a few meters in front of
him.
He has a stub of pink toothbrush jutting out of his mouth.
As he steps into the dark cockpit, he slowly turns his head to his
right to look at the right side window and than moves towards it.
He stands close to the window looking out at the dark and empty space.
After a moment, he starts thinking(slowly speaking in his own mind):
"many people on earth would blindly blame science when they know about
the destroyed civilization…yes, science has placed weapons of immense
power in the hands of life but science is not to be blamed for all this
destruction………………….man killed man even before the advent of
science…kingdoms have been destroyed and millions of people have been
killed in the name of holy god….man fights with whatever he has , if he
has no weapons he fights with bare hands…surely nobody blames the hand
for the fights.
……………………………………………………………………………obviously something else is at work,
something as old as life. Bad genes or animal instincts or unresolved
Oedipus complex …whatever…….. we need to take as many bad factors out
of the equation as possible. Maybe genes are not totally responsible
for the problem of evil but….. genetic engineering can be a step in
that direction of eradicating evil………..but government and religion live
on human tragedy…..they won't let our wounds heal."
He slowly turns around and keeping his head down slowly walks towards
the left window. He is brushing his teeth now. He is a little sleepy.
Upon reaching the left window. he looks up at the window and the dark
space beyond. Starts thinking: "how much of our life is in our hands
really. Birth , death, genes……………… genes do affect our behavior, at
least to some extent. And it is man who has to suffer….this is a
perfect example of injustice in this universe. This is an example of
the evil force working…………..
The evil and the good force fight with each other………………And….. in this
world it is the good force that makes our life worthwhile.………….."
SCENE 30.
Inside the black ship: it is pitch dark in the cockpit. Wik lying on
the floor, his back to the
left window, his head bent. After a moment he gets up. He is tensed.
Suddenly the computer screen comes alive and starts giving out small
regular beeps.
Wik stands up and goes to the dashboard and sees the computer flashing
"MARK: -AN ARTIFICIAL SATTELITE SPOTED OVER A PLANET. HAVE TO CHECK THE
PLANET OUT."
He slowly turn his head to looks out of the left window and sees the
cockpit of the white plane visible through the mesh of steel rods
jutting out of the left wing of the black plane.
(exterior) both planes in the space above a white planet. Just about
to enter the clean atmosphere.
(interior)white plane. It is daytime. There is ample light but not
bright like direct light. It is like a lightly overcast morning.
Cockpit unlit but not dark. The light of the atmosphere lighting up the
cockpit like the light of an overcast morning lights up a room. Nicole
standing near the right side window and looking out at the white blue
sky as they descend down towards the surface.
(interior)Nicole watches out of the front window along with mark and
anna, the remains of a city that was once big and beautiful. There are
broken houses , small and big , for miles and miles around(there are
only houses, all made of stone and bricks , and no skyscrapers or
flyovers).
(exterior)The planes are flying over the city and there are miles and
miles of broken houses.
(exterior)There is debris and debris all around. The sky is white blue.
The city reminds of the city of Berlin after the end of the terrible
world war 2. There are rows of broken houses one after the other. (the
houses are made up in the same material and the size and shape as the
houses in the ruined cities of the world war. It is an exact replica.)
(exterior) planes descend down slowly.
(exterior)The planes are slowly moving on a long wide road(road
covered with dust) which has broken houses on either side. The planes
are at the height of the houses. The white plane in front and the black
plane close behind.
The planes slowly move over the road.
(Interior) black plane. Cockpit. Cockpit is silent. The cockpit is
unlit but not dark. Light is coming in through the left window. Light
is not bright and cannot be seen flowing in through the window like
shafts but it is flowing in like the evening light, smooth and
invisible. The area around the right window and the dashboard
relatively darker.
Wik ,from the middle of the cockpit, moves to the left window. He looks
down at the debris at the edge of the road that is passing by swiftly.
He looks up, far into the distance. There is debris on the ground for
miles and at the far end there are a few lone standing walls ( of
broken houses) and the clear blue sky at the horizon.(the sky after
rain, shining).
He keeps looking at the shining sky and the lone walls. The debris, at
the edge of the road , can be seen flying by at the bottom of the
window.
He turns his face to his right and sees the white plane in the front
window.
(interior)white plane. Nicole is standing near the dashboard. She turns
her face around to the right window and slowly walks towards it. There
is a large wedge of dull light on the cockpit floor falling in through
the right window.
she looks out of the window. The window is reflecting the light, that
is falling on to the floor through it, and shining slightly on its
outside surface.
she watches row of broken houses pass by slowly in the window.
The wedge of light on the cockpit floor and the right window slowly
keeps appearing and disappearing as the plane moves along the row of
broken houses.
(The light is not very bright.)
She slowly turns her face left and looks at the front window.
She moves to the middle of the cockpit, standing on the wedge of light
falling from the right window on the floor. She stands to the right
anna who was already standing there.
(exterior)At the end of the road the planes are flying over, is a
spaceship. It is buried nose down in the ground. It is the same
stainless steel enemy ship but much bigger in size.
Just outside the buried ship lie two robots. Both dead. Both covered
with a fine layer of brown dust. One robot is lying back against the
wall of a broken house and the other against the ship hull.
The planes fly over the ship and the robots.
(Interior)Black plane.Wik standing near the left window. There are
ruins of broken houses and the light blue shining sky at the horizon.
Rising across the partly overcast and partly shining blue sky ,he sees
many small stainless steel enemy planes lying flat or buried nose down
in the debris of the houses. (there were huge holes in the plane, steel
rods and wires jutting out of the holes.)As the black plane moves by
more ground comes into view and few robots are seen lying on the ruins.
They are covered with dust and with arms or legs missing. Their steel
has corroded and they are full of dust and dampness.
Wik looking out of the left window talking to himself: "the enemy was
here too………. destroyed one civilization after the other."
(Exterior)There were two round red color planes lying among the
debris too.( one of them was buried nose down and other lying flat)
There color was faded now and they were covered with dust here and
there. Their steel corroded.
(Interior)Wik thinking of the red planes: "these were the local
planes."
SCENE 31.
The planes are landed in the city among the ruins(only houses and no
skyscrapers or flyovers). The landing site is a sort of clearing in the
ruins. It is evening time. The light is not very bright but there is
clear visibility.
Wik is standing on a high wall of debris(unarmed). He is looking down
at the white plane, its cockpit and the doorway brightly lit in white.
The black plane is behind it. The planes are forty meters from him.
There is ruins of the city all around him and the planes. He turns 180
degree to his left and sees a tree among the ruins. The tree is on a
sort of clearing in the ground, there are ruins of houses are around
it. The tree is tall and dense. It is a banyan tree.
There are hundreds of black birds(shape and size like that of crow)
circling all around it. they are making a lot of noise. Some are
circling , some are taking off and other are settling on the tree.
The ruins and the partially dark evening sky visible beyond the tree.
(Interior) white plane. cockpit lit in bright white light. Nicole is
seated on the chair by the right side window, looking out of it.
the area surrounding the planes, a little clear otherwise ruins and
broken houses all around.
she is looking out of the window(without any tenseness or stress)at the
debris beyond the clearing which are reeking in the yellow-golden
light of the evening now.
The window glass slightly reflecting the golden light too.
SCENE 32
Daytime. Noon. The light is a little dull outside, like on an overcast
noon.
(Exterior) The planes are moving over a wide road(road covered with
brown dust), ruins on both sides(no flyovers or skyscrapers only
houses).
(Interior) white plane. The cockpit is unlit but not dark. Light
flowing in through the windows like the evening light smooth and
invisible. Anna standing near the left window and looking out of it.
She is watching the broken houses, row after row of broken houses.
Debris and debris all
around. she had left the music system on(in her room) and the song
could be heard in the cockpit too. The song was by one of the groups of
the bygone ear. ULTRA and the song was: "say it once."
She keeps watching the scene outside. The light is a little dull
outside, like on an overcast noon.
She turns her face(not slowly but not quick either) to her right and
looks at mark who is standing near the console looking out of the front
window. She turns around(not slowly but not quick either) and looks at
nicole , across the cockpit, who is standing near the right side window
and looking out.
The ruins of the houses passing by in the left window as she looks at
nicole and the right window. There is a large wedge of light falling on
the cockpit floor through the right window. It is yellow light. It is
keeps appearing and disappearing as the plane moves along the rows of
broken houses.
She turns back again and looks out of the left window , no light on
this side(light is flowing in through the clouds on this side unlike
the other side where the light is falling in directly).
SCENE 33.
(Exterior)
The planes are moving high over a wide dusty road, there are broken
houses on both sides of the road(only houses no skyscrapers or
flyovers. A completely ruined city). It is raining and the sky is
overcast but it is not dark, it is like an overcast morning. The sky is
lightgray-white. The rain is not heavy or torrential. It is light
rain(drizzle). The light of the atmosphere is dull white, like on an
overcast late morning back on earth. White light is filtering in
through the layer of white gray clouds.
The rain water is dripping down from the wings of the planes.
(Interior) black plane. Bathroom. Bathroom is unlit.Wik has taken a
shower in the small bathroom of the black plane. He is dripping all
over and he is naked besides a towel draped around his waist. There is
a wide rectangular glass window in the bathroom. He is looking at the
window. The light outside is not bright but is dull white. The dull
white light of the atmosphere, flowing in through the window, is
adequately illuminating the bathroom. Light is not flowing in shafts
but flowing in like the smooth light of the evening.
Small white transparent raindrops and the lightgray-white sky can be
seen on the outside surface of the glass of the window.
He just keeps staring out of the window. His body wet and dripping.
Hair wet and disheveled.
(Exterior) white plane moving in the rain. Rain drops lightly falling
on the left window.
(Interior) white plane. Cockpit unlit but not dark, it is illuminated
by the dull light of the atmosphere. Again the light is not flowing as
shafts but like the smooth and the invisible flowing in of the evening
light. Anna standing besides the left window and looking out of it. Her
hands hanging by her side. There are Small white transparent rain drops
on the window glass. Some of the drops sliding down the glass window.
She is looking at the ruins ,visible out of the window, wet and damp in
the rain. She keeps looking at the passing ruins in the window.
(Exterior) white plane slowly moving in the rain. The black plane
visible behind it.
SCENE 34.
(Interior)Black plane. Small Toilet. It is unlit but not very dark. (It
is like the unlit bathroom on earth on an heavily overcast afternoon.)
Wik is urinating, standing. His face is calm but his face is
dull/long. There is low rumbling sound of thunder and the dull noise of
rain drops falling down.
He is dressed in dull-black overalls.
After a moment. He zips his black pant and slowly turns around. He
slowly walks out on to the black metal netted, narrow alley of the
plane. (The alley is illuminated just like the bathroom.)
He reaches ,the already open, exit/entrance door of the black plane,
to his left.
He sits down on the doorway. (It is raining heavily outside. There are
dark clouds all over the sky. The plane is on a sort of clearing. There
is nothing but dusty barren hard ground for thirty feet or so around
the plane but after that there are ruins after ruins of broken houses.
The rain had taken away all color and everything was dull light brown.)
He slightly turns his head left and sees some hundred feet away s a
huge stone arch, wet and damp in the rain. It is two storey arch and
there is just flat fallen debris all around it.
As he looks on there is a tinge of sadness in his calm heart.
He slowly looks down at the ground below and without a break slowly
looks up in front at the ruins and the lone standing crumbling walls
and the broken houses. The walls and the debris is damp.
Still looking straight at the ruins he thinks: "destruction and love
both as old as life………………tools of destruction change but destruction
remains. But love……love never changes….nothing ever changes about
love….people still love the way they used to a thousand years. Modes of
destruction changes but the way to love remains same."
He again looks to his left at the arch and the ruins around it and
looks back again to the front, at the ruins.
Some fifteen feet behind the black plane is the white plane. Its
entrance/exit door open. The doorway and the cockpit lit in yellow-
golden light. Nicole is sitting in the doorway looking out, gun in
right hand. The rear part of the white plane is steaming in the rain.
It is giving out white steam and making a hissing sound in the process.
SCENE 35.
The rain has stopped. Wik is still sitting on the doorway of the black
plane looking straight out at the ruins.
After a second, he steps out of the doorway onto the ground. The black
door shuts behind him automatically with a loud sound. He walks towards
the white plane. He walks up to the doorway, nicole gets up and they
both move a little way out to look at the steaming rear part. The
steam is making a hissing sound.
(interior)Anna standing near the right side window looks at Wik(with
love in her eyes. It is girl's love so there is excitement in her eyes
and body. But her loves is deep.) as he and Nicole watch the rear part
of the plane, the white steam moving across their figures.
Nicole is standing a feet to the right of wik.
Anna watches on as Wik quickly looks to his left(for a second or two)
and immediately looks back at the steam coming out of the rear part of
the plane.
She watches him say a few words to nicole. (Their voices not audible in
the cockpit.)
SCENE 36.
Daytime. Noon. Clear sky.
Anna and Nicole. In a room. Dressed in green military uniform with guns
and helmets. Their hair swept back and tied into a pony tail. The room
has one small window with vertical iron bars. Light is flowing in
through the window and there is clear visibility. Light is not flowing
in through like a shaft but in a smooth manner. They both look at the
window and anna takes off her helmet. The walls have been painted in
blue luminescent color. There are very tiny black dirt particles stuck
on the walls.
The room is ten feet long and seven feet wide.
On one of the long walls is a painting of a deity. They turns and look
at the painting. It shows two very handsome men with long black hair
swept back . They are clad in loose white clothes and jewelry and a
sword and bow and arrows. Their bow and arrow and sword are very
beautiful and ornamental. There is a very beautiful women between them
clad in golden clothes and a lot of jewelry. Her clothes comprise of a
thick silk cream cloth draped tightly around her waist and her legs
upto the ankles. The cloth is draped on the legs individually therefore
providing independent view of the figure of each of the two legs. The
cloth look very expensive something which only queens could afford. Her
stomach is bare and there is a thin golden chain wrapped around it.
There is another cloth, of the same color and size as the one draped
around her legs, forming a top. The top is tight and sleeveless. Her
neck and bust is filled with jewelry.
Their faces are very beautiful, fair and angelic and very serene and
calm. Their bodies slim and athletic. The two men have a golden crown
on their heads.
Some way to the left of the painting on the floor below are two jute
sacks their bellies
overfilled with some sort of food grain. The sacks are one on the top
of the other. The floor is gray cement. There are thin but huge cobwebs
around the sacks.
On one of the short walls is embedded a stone slab running the length
of the wall. The slab is two feet down the ceiling. There are some
utensils on the slab. The utensils are made up of dark metal. The metal
has rusted. Most of the utensils looked like tumbler used for storing
food stuff. There are some steel glasses and cups and bowls lying on
the shelf too.
As there is ample light in the room therefore the cobwebs are clearly
visible. There are some cobwebs on the shelf too.
There is a glass made of heavy dark yellow metal lying on the floor.
At one corner of the room are lying about a few earthen pots, mostly
earthen glasses.
SCENE 37.
Nicole and anna are standing at the bottom of a huge house. It was once
a huge house but now it was just a huge debris of fallen stones and
bricks. Still there are many walls that are still standing and there
are a few rooms which have their two to three walls still
standing(though the walls are crumbling.)
There are two very dense trees growing along the walls of such rooms.
The trees are banyan like and are dense and green.
The trees are not very tall, just a few meter above the walls i.e.
around thirty feet. But they are wide and dense.
Nicole looks up at the tree(at the top) and sees a huge shining black,
spider like, leg.
She is shocked and filled with fear. she speaks out: "look up."
Anna looks up and see another leg come out.
Anna: "don't fire, run towards the plane."
They both turn and start running towards the planes which are some
fifty meters from them.
The two run and jump over fallen debris. They run over bricks, stones
and concrete and over a steel robot lying flat on its back, its body
and eyes brown with fine dust.
When they were some twenty meter from the plane, the whole spider like
creature appears at the tree top. It has two white eyes. It has a
hideous, evil mouth.
It slowly scans the sky for a moment with its white eyes as if it has
come out after a long time.
It than looks down at the two running figures.
Nicole turns around, while running, and sees the creature looking at
them.
Her mouth goes completely dry and face feels hot. Fear is written all
over her face.
She looks ahead and screams out "start the planes."
Anna too joins in : "Start the planes."
Mark who was standing outside the doorway of the white plane smoking a
cigarette
looks in their direction and than looks at the creature at the tree.
Mark throws away the cigarette and get into the cockpit and frantically
hits the buttons. The plane starts with a light hum.
The black plane was behind the white plane.
Wik who was standing beside the doorway of the black plane comes
forward, slungs his gun down and aims at the creature(but does not
fire).
Anna and nicole are just five meter from the white plane when the
creature climbs half way down the tree and looks up and spits out a
black liquid at them. The liquid travels through the air and hits the
debris besides anna. The stones corrodes and gives out white smoke.
wik fires at the creature. The creature does not seem to notice the
fire. It starts to climb down (head down). The creature is seven feet
wide and five feet high. Its body's black in color.
Anna and nicole get into the white plane and shut the door behind them.
Wik runs and get into the black plane.
The creature, now on the light brown tree trunk, looks up and spits
again and this time hits the rear part of the white plane. The hull
corrodes and gives out white smoke but the liquid is not able to bore a
hole in it.
The planes take off.
(Interior) white cockpit. Anna and nicole standing near the right
window looking down at the creature.
Anna relaxing a little, moves a step backward and her hand brushes
against the chair (besides the right window.) She gives out a scream of
shout and mindlessly brushes her hands all over her body(still
screaming) as if trying to get rid of something.
Nicole holds her shoulders from behind and says: "hey its
over…..relax…..relax.."
Mark is looking at anna tensely and with concern.
Mark , his face tense and concerned, says unemotionally : "take rest."
SCENE 38.
Daytime. Clear sky. Early evening. The sky white blue.
The planes are landed on fifty feet wide road. There is a stone divider
in the middle of the black road. There are round metal poles on the
divider. The poles rise up in the sky and fork at some height into two
halogen lights over the two part of the road. The planes are landed on
the outer edge of the road. On the two sides of the road are thirty
feet deep gap.
There are no houses or any other structures around. On one side of the
road is a big thirty feet gap and beyond that gap is the forested area.
The forest is not dense and there is no grass or undergrowth. The trees
are squat as if being weigh down under the weight of the atmosphere.
On another side of the road is another big thirty feet gap but it has
been converted into a beautiful park. There are trees all around the
park i.e. along the perimeter and lush green grass in the middle with
some small plants.
The trees growing up from the gap rise not only up to the road level
but rise about some ten feet above it. Most of the trees are
eucalyptus.
Wik is standing near the edge of the road looking at a tree in the
garden. The tree is growing up from the gap and rising ten feet over
the road. The tree is just in front of him. The tree is all bare
branches but there are red flowers growing all over it. The branches
are all bare of leaves but they are filled with the small red flowers.
Wik is looking at this tree. Adjacent to it is another tree exactly
like this one. There are some four or five such trees in the garden.
The white plane is just behind him.
He is dressed in a plain coarse white cotton shirt tucked into the
green military pants and has soft drink can(purple color) in his right
hand. A gun slung over his shoulder. He turns and looks at nicole and
anna as they walk out of the doorway of the white plane. The branches
loaded with red flowers visible just behind him.
SCENE 39.
Clear blue sky(sky after a rain). Early evening. Ample light.
(Exterior) The planes are now flying on the edge of a ruined city and
are moving over to the forest at its edge. The forest is not dense.
There is no grass or creepers or bushes or any undergrowth. The trees
too are not very densely packed together.(the trees are close to each
other but not as close as in a rain forest. the tress are tall and
high.)
There are many plane wreckages lying on trees too. They are small and
big. There steel parts lying on the ground but mostly on the tree
branches. Water drops dripping down from the leaves and the plane
wreckages.
The planes flying just meters over the trees.
The ground of the forest is brick-red graveled.
(exterior)The planes have landed in a clearing in the woods. The ground
is red graveled and without any grass or rocks. It is early evening
time and the light is cool. Sky clear and beautiful with the promise of
spring. Air is calm.
The planes are landed side by side, their nose facing the same
direction. There is a gap of twenty feet or so between the two. Their
entrance door( which are in the side hull) facing each other.
(exterior)Anna comes out of the door and lies down on the red graveled
ground between the two planes. Her gun by her side. She lies down on
her back her face facing the sky, eyes closed.
Nicole is standing in the doorway. The interior behind her brightly lit
in white. She has a gun slung over her shoulder. She is standing with
her back against the doorway.
Wik standing on the ground. He is some way to the right of the entrance
door of the black plane. He has a gun in his hand.
Anna turns over, her stomach to the ground and with her head propped
over in her hands, and watches wik, smiling with her eyes(no smile on
her face. It is a smile of love). She is happy and excited in love.
Mark is checking the engines of the plane and he on the other side of
the white plane.
Wik thinking looking at the red ground: "he is hell bent on seeing the
enemy himself."
He looks up and notices anna looking at him. There is a rush of
adrenaline in his body. He blushes , smiles and looks down at the
ground for a moment and hesitantly again looks up at her. He is smiling
and blushing all the time. He feels shy, loved, accepted and happy all
at the same time. After a second, he wonders " love can make things
beautiful…….anytime, any place."
He is smiling(blushing) and looking at the ground below now.
Mark comes out from the other side of the plane and says ; " lets fly."
Anna slowly gets up from the ground and moves towards the entrance door
looking back at wik every once in a while. Her face though not
expressive but the silent emotions of belongingness and attraction
visible on her face. Like a girl, in love for the first time, she feels
attracted to him and looks back at him.
(exterior)they all enter their respective planes.
Anna at the doorway turns looks back at him.
The planes slowly take off vertically. It is still evening.
SCENE 40.
(Interior) Black plane. Wik is standing besides the left window. He is
looking down from the window at the planet that they had just left. The
planet could be seen at the lower left corner of the left window. It
was white with a little pinkish atmosphere.
The cockpit is dark. The space outside is dark and without any stars.
He sits down on the floor his back against the window. The window dark
like the space outside. His head is a little bent down.
He starts thinking : "anna likes me…. That's the only good thing about
this mission. But what will happen when we reach that star……...what a
place and time to fall in love … when we don't know whether we would
live to see the next day, the next hour or the next moment."
"…………..why think about future right now………lets think about anna."
A happy smile spreads over his face and he raises his face up, looking
at the ceiling.
He is happy and feels accepted.
The ceiling is dark.
(Interior) white plane.
Anna's room. She is alone.
She is lying, on her bed, on her back.
She is smiling, looking at the ceiling, happy thinking about wik. After
sometime she gets up with an happy expectation(smiling widely, teeth
visible) and sits on the edge of the bed and switches on the gray music
system.
She again falls back on the white bed, still happy and smiling(wide
smile, but with pursed lips, eyes lighted up); seeminginly thinking
about her favorite topic, wik. She turn over in the bed to her right
and gives out a short and quiet laugh(happy in love. She feels loved
like a girl who is in love for the first time therefore her love is
deep and fresh. There is genunity in her love. It is deep and not a
passing shallow fancy. so in her love there is the freshness of a girls
first love and a woman's sincere deep calm love.). Her left hand
hanging out of the bed.
She is dressed in a white shirt and a light white jeans. The bed and
all its accessories are white too.
SCENE 41.
(Exterior) both planes closely moving side by side in the dark space.
(Interior) black plane. Wik is lying on a soft dark blue bed in a
room dimly lit by blue light. The room is small, space enough for a bed
and narrow alley on the two sides of the bed. He is lying silently on
the bed.…he gives out a smile(lost thinking about anna) as he turns to
his right. His head propped up in his right hand.
As he pick up a sleek white remote control(that is lying on the bed to
his right side) he gives a even wider smile(happy thinking about anna
and looking at the remote as he gives out the smile) and switches on
the TV. on the front wall.
The television is a paper thin digital one.
It screen come alive with white flash and shows these image in a fast
speed with a fast music:-
It shows an Indian farmer clad in traditional Indian clothes(dirty
white dhoti and kurta) moving on his barren farm land. His face dark
and hallow. The scene shows clear blue sky and scorching sunlight.
The scene changes to show an African village and farmer who too are in
same condition.
The scene changes to a red rose seen flowering in a fast motion from a
bud to a full bloom.
The scene changes to show city lights, skyscrapers and flyovers at
night time.
Beautiful blond girls are shown in a club laughing. Young beautiful
faces and dance is shown.
Than the scene changes to show a car accident scene. The cars smashed
open.
The scene changes to show old huge crumbling forts.
The scene changes again to show many fighter helicopter hovering in a
row and firing missiles.
The scene changes to show an old women with white hair and a wrinkled
face.
Than a young couples are shown having sex in bed.
A young child is shown next.
Than a breathtaking view of earth rushing through the dark space is
shown.
It shows some more flashing images of youth, old age, happiness and
suffering.
And it shows : a group(around thirty) of people(Indian) clothed in
white kurta and pajamas. Mostly man, many of them have long white or
black beards. They are seated on floor of a hall which is thirty feet
long and twelve feet wide. The place they are seated on is covered with
a white cloth. It is night time therefore the white tubelights are on.
There are no windows. They are all clapping their hands in unison and
singing devotional song. They all seem very joyous and at peace. There
is a white ceiling fan which is moving at a very fast speed. There is
another man in same white clothes sitting some two feet infront of the
group, facing the group.
Again it shows the blue white earth rushing at a fast speed in the dark
space.
Suddenly the small bulb over his head on the wall behind the bed comes
alive.
It starts giving out loud beeps. It lights up in red as it sounds the
beeps.
Wik immediately runs out of the bed and into the cockpit. The
television is on and the music can be heard.
The computer console is alive. He moves to the dashboard,listeing to
the beeps.
(television cannot be heard in the cockpit)
Its screen is flashing a message in red : "APPROACHING TARGET STAR."
He looks at the front screen and sees a dark planet about the size of
earth and its dim small star beyond it(quite close to it). the planet
is not moving(no rotation or revolution)
There were no other planets and stars visible.
He looks down at the computer console. He touches the computer screen
and it displays a menu. He touches the option "AMMUNITION" in the menu
and it displays a graphic display of the plane's missiles and the
bullets and the laser power system.
The computer console display a flashing message at the top right corner
of the screen. "AMMUNTION READY."
He removes his vision from the console and turns his head slowly to
look out of the left window. He sees the cockpit of the white plane, it
is dark.
Suddenly the computer screen displays a message :
"MARK : FOLLOW US."
And wik's eyes follow the white plane as it races ahead from the side
left window to the front of the black plane. The white plane now
visible in the front window.
(exterior) both planes moving into the atmosphere of the planet. The
atmosphere is very clear but dark like the planet and the space.
(exterior)Night time. Dark sky. No clouds but no stars visible either.
Beyond and below the nose the area is filled with city dotted with
halogen lights. There are no moving lights(automobiles). No buildings
are lighted, only the halogen lights on the streets are lighted.
SCENE 42
(exterior)The planes slowly drop vertically down . The city lights
visible below them.
SCENE 43
(exterior) The crew member(white plane) are visible through its left
window, beyond the figures of the crew members the dark cockpit of the
black plane is visible in the right window.
SCENE 44.
(exterior) the black plane slowly flying over the city.
A small black exhaust at its rear part giving out a faint shimmer of
white smoke. The white smoke is almost transparent. The city light
visible below the exhaust.
(interior) white plane. Cockpit dark. Mark is standing near the console
looking out of the front window. Nicole standing near the left window
and Anna near the right one. Their guns by their sides against the
window screens.
Anna watching the big city below. It is night time. There are no stars
or clouds visible in the sky. There is no wind either.
She looks out of the window, as they fly just meters over a black road,
and sees dark buildings with glass surfaces. They are unlighted. But
there are halogen lights in the area around them. She looks down and
sees that they were flying over an empty black road and the the halogen
lights lined along the road. The buildings are not congested, there is
quite a lot of space between them. The space is filled by street
halogen lights just like on earth. There was no one around and there
was no sign of any activity. The buildings were brand new and in
perfect condition.
Most of the buildings were made up of dark blue glass and little
concrete. The glasses of these buildings reflecting the halogen lights.
What was inside the buildings was not visible. There were a few trees
here and there between the buildings.
She turns her head around and sees nicole looking out of the left
window. The scene on the left side of the plane was not very different.
But the buildings were fewer and there were fewer lights. Suddenly the
computer console starts beeping : "ENOUGH OXYGEN TO BREATH. NO KNOWN
DANGEROUS MICRO-ORGANISMS FOUND."
(exterior) black plane flying close behind the white plane. Its cockpit
dark.
There is a robot standing on the top of a six storey dark blue glass
building slowly following the planes. Its head turning as it follows
the white plane. The building is some way ahead of the white plane, on
its right hand side . The robot has a heavy gun its hand
The planes are moving very slowly.
The robot slightly turns his face to his right and looks at an exactly
same building(but seven storey high)on the opposite side of the road.
There is a robot standing on its roof with a heavy gun in its hand. The
white plane was now just twenty meters or so from entering the space
between the two buildings. The road that the planes were hovering over
was around thirty meters wide.
Also to the right hand side of the black plane but some twenty meters
behind it there is robot standing on the top of building watching the
planes go by.
(Exterior) suddenly from the left hand side of the road some way ahead
of the white plane, a barrage of bullets come straight towards the
white plane. The bullets hit the left wing area.
The white plane moves it nose twenty degrees left in the direction of
the seven storey dark blue glass building from which the bullets came.
It than rapidly fires bullets which hit the glasses of the top three
storeys shattering them. The plane starts to move side to side covering
the whole breadth of the building.
Suddenly from the right hand side of the road from the top a building
,some way ahead of the white plane(the robot who was first watching the
plane), there comes a white missile straight at the white plane.
(interior)white plane. Anna screams out: "look out.", as she sees , in
the right side window, the white missile coming straight at the plane.
The missile leaving a trail of white thin smoke behind.
(exterior)It hits the right wing and explodes breaking half the wing
and throwing it at the black plane following close behind.
(interior) mark, anna and nicole loose all balance and fall down on the
floor.
(Interior) wik watches horror stricken as the wing comes flying
straight towards the front window. The wing goes flying over the plane
missing it by inches.
(Exterior) the white plane is wavering(unbalanced by the missile
explosion) wildly in the air. Its gun still going and hitting the road
and the buildings around.
(exterior) wik moves moves the nose of the plane some twenty degrees
towards the right in the direction of a six storey dark blue glass
building and starts firing the bullets. The plane covers the whole
breadth of the building moving side to side sometimes and sometimes
moving just the nose. It also cover the length of the building moving
up and down and sometimes moving only the nose up and down covering the
length of the building.
The bullets hit the building all over, shattering the glasses to the
ground below. There is no reply from the building. But he doesn't stop
and keeps firing.
(Exterior) the white plane is stable now.
It is firing at the building which had fired at it first. The plane is
giving out white thin smoke from the rear part. As the plane moves from
side to side it makes a screeching sound.
As the black is busy firing at the building, a missile comes from the
right side of the road,
some way from behind the black plane and hits the rear part. The plane
goes out of control and slowly rotating(one rotation) falls down to the
road below. It does not explode or capsize.
(Interior) anna sees the plane going down .
she cries out(it is a cry for help) : " we have to get wik. His plane
is down."
Nicole picking up her gun, filled with determination and the desire to
help her friend says : "don't worry, we will get wik"
(Exterior) the white plane while it was fighting had hovered down and
was just three or five meters over the ground.
Anna and nicole open the entrance door and jump out.
Their guns in their hands.
They run towards the black plane that was some thirty meters behind the
white plane.
Wik pushes open the entrance door of the black plane and limps out of
it.
He is all blood.
Anna gives out a gasp when she looks at him.
Wik's eyes are calm and cold as if in a stupor.
Anna runs towards him, her mouth a little open.
Anna supports wik by moving an arm around his shoulders. Nicole covers
anna and wik as they move back towards the white plane. She looks
determined. She is looking around all the time.
Suddenly there is barrage of bullets in their direction from the
building which had fired down the black plane.
Nicole turns around and fire in that direction. She sees no one but
fires blindly.
As Nicole turns to see the white plane making an screeching sound as it
turns 180 degree to face the enemy, her hair jerk from one side to the
other. The white plane was turning to face the enemy that was firing
bullets at the group below. She looks up in the black sky and fires a
bullet straight in the air at an angle of 90 degree. The bullet goes up
in the air and explodes giving out white light. It lights up the entire
area in white light.
(exterior)The white plane fires red lasers at the unseen enemy that was
firing at the group below.
The lasers hit the glasses on all the fifth floor as the plane moved
from side to side making a lot of noise.
A missile comes straight at the white plane from the top of the
building that it was firing at.
The missile hits the plane's nose and explodes.
The planes looses all control and falls straight down.
Wik looks up from under his eyelids and sees the plane coming down and
hit the road. His left hand hanging limp by his side forms into an half
closed fists and immediately limps back again.
The plane's nose was reduced to a mesh of white steel rods. The cockpit
was still safe but the wings were absent and the nose was a mesh of
hundreds of steel rods jutting out like the petals of a flower. The
buildings which had started firing first were silent now.
Nicole firing at the building runs backwards towards the white plane
and enters through the open entrance door. she enters the cockpit and
sees mark dead on the floor. She closes her eyes, waits for a second
and than runs out of the plane. The bullets were still being fired from
the building which had brought first the black plane and later the
white plane down.
Anna changes her course, thinking that the plane could be hit again by
a missile if they tried to fly away right now, and turns to her right
and moves towards a building close by. she every now and than turns her
head backwards and fires at the top of the building.
Nicole follows them close behind firing at the building too.
they move close to the building.
Cut to:
The same low resolution image showing them running towards the
building.
Cut back to:
Anna, nicole and wik standing outside a door in the building.
Cut to:
A steel robot with red eyes standing on the top of a building. The
building was to the left of the road that they were flying over.
He is looking down at anna and others. He has a black gun in his left
hand.
The robot that had blown away the wing of the white plane was dead on
the roof.
Another robot standing on the top of a building. It was the robot who
had fired the missile which had grounded first the black plane and than
the white plane.
He had a gun raised in his right hand and he was slowly moving it down.
His eyes were red.
SCENE 45.
Anna and nicole fall back from the door as two red lasers hit it one
after the other.
Anna ,supporting wik, moves to hide behind the small boundary wall
surrounding the building. There is a small garden with grass and a few
tress between the boundary wall and the building. The boundary wall is
made up of stone.
Nicole is on her knees hiding behind the wall with anna and wik.
(Whereas anna and wik are sitting with their backs against the wall,
nicole is seated facing the wall. There is tall thin tree to her left.
There are rows of halogen street lights on the other side of the road.
The halogen street-lights throw cones of lights. The area beyond the
cone dark. There are dark spaces between the cones of lights thrown the
adjacent street-lights.) There are a few halogen lamps in the garden
here and there. the dark blue glass building that they had tried to
enter is reflecting the halogen lights.
Nicole : "try to locate the enemy."
Anna stands up as nicole fires a bullet straight up in the air. The
bullet explodes in the air and lights up the entire area in white
light.
As anna looks up at the building(which had fired first at the white
plane), on the other side of the road, she sees the upper portion(chest
and face) of the robot glistening in the white light.
Nicole turns to her left and looks up at the building ,some fifty
meters away, which had brought down first the black plane and than the
white plane is sees the steel face of the robot glistening in the white
light.
The robot which nicole notices is on the building that is in the line
of the building that they are standing outside.
Wik had recaptured a little by now.
Wik : " lets go behind the building. There is only one robot on the
building near the black plane. Two of us run towards the black plane
from two different sides of the building."
SCENE 46.
The ground is not concrete but dark soil.
They move into the alley besides the building. There is big duct
connecting the building to the one besides it. the duct is in the air
and not on the ground.
They move under the duct pipe between the two buildings and reach the
backside.
There is big tall and fat chimney, low on the ground, visible in the
far distance. A layer of white smoke around it.
The group reaches the back of the building and turn right and stop.
Anna turns around 180 degree to look back and sees the halogen lights
of the city and the dark buildings(buildings are not skyscrapers) and
three chimney's giving out white smoke in the far off distance.
As she turns back to look in the front, she sees three big ducts coming
out from the ground.
(there are no lights here behind the buildings but it not dark here.
The light from the halogen lamps coming in through the alleys between
the buildings is enough. )
The ducts are light in color and are giving out faint shimmer of white
smoke and steam.
One of them is nine feet tall and two feet wide, the other is eight
feet tall and two feet wide and the last one is ten feet tall and two
feet wide. They are all close together(in a circle), just inches from
each other.
Wik : "nicole you stay while I and anna run to the plane."
Anna: " wik, do you think you can do it."
Wik looks at her , his face completely blank.(no reproach, no fear and
no guilt. It shows no feelings).
He says unemotionally and simply: "yes, I am fine."
The robot, on the roof of the building, that had blown away the black
and than the white plane is moving to the back side of the roof. (only
its strong white steel feet visible walking on the hard concrete roof)
It reaches the back side and looks down at them.(its face visible.)
Wik and the group notice him staring down at them from the roof.(his
face and neck visible)
Anna and nicole open fire at him the robot backs a little and goes out
of sight.
Nicole immediately screams out, still looking at the roof: "run"
Anna runs out firing her gun at the roof without looking up.
Wik runs with all his might, limping and turns into the alley besides
the building(from which the robot was firing.)
Anna moves towards the alley on the other side of the building.
She keeps firing every now and than, looking up.
The robot hearing the bullet fire from the other side of the building
runs to that side of the roof.
He looks down and fire at her(his face visible). She moves very close
to the building and stands with her back against the glass wall. The
bullets hit the ground in front of her.
Wik runs with all his might towards the black plane.
SCENE 47.
The other robot(who had first fired at the white plane) is walking
rapidly down the stairs.
The lift was reduced to a shred of metal by the bullets of the white
plane.
It has two long steel guns in it hand.(guns are shown) It is not
running but rapidly moving down the stairs. The building is all empty
and the stairs are not furnished. There is no railing. There is no
stone of any kind on the concrete stairs, they are full of dust and
the debris of the concrete.
Wik gets to the doorway of the plane and gets inside. He reaches the
cockpit and hits a few computer buttons. The cockpit is lighted by the
orange halogen street lights outside falling in through the windows.
He again hits a few more buttons and the engine give out a faint hum
and dies down. He frantically hits some more buttons and the engines
start ,the console brightens up with a message: "ALTERNATIVE POWER."
The engines are giving out a loud humming sound, loud but not sharp. It
is a loud dull humming sound. The robot(firing at anna) hears the sound
,stops his fire and turns his face right(only face visible) in the
direction of the sound. He sees nothing but the darkness of the night
and the glow of the halogen lights.
(exterior) the black plane is just a feet over the ground. The plane
is making a dull loud humming sound, it slowly turns 180 degree and
then rises vertically up in the air, slowly. It rises up to the roof
level. The robot watches the plane. The plane fires bullets. The robot
fires as it fall back(face visible) and gets inside the small room that
covers the the stairs.
The plane fires bullets at the room. The bullets hit the outside wall
and bore many three inch round holes in it.
The plane is hovering at the level of the roof( not above it). One red
eye of the robot peeps out of the three centimeter hole watching the
plane. The robot(face and upper body visible) then open up rapid fire
as it runs down the stairs. The bullets traverse through the wall
towards the plane. (exterior)The plane moves down vertically.
The plane fire its bullets and they hit and shatter the glass of the
top floor. The robot is rapidly running down the stairs. (feet and the
lower body visible)
(exterior) the plane too is moving down the floors following the robot
and firing all the time. The dark blue glasses shattering.
The robot reaches the fourth floor and stands in the middle of the
large hall, holding gun in both hands. It opens fire at the plane.
The plane too opens fire. The plane is moving from side to side. The
glasses shatter and the whole robot is revealed. It is a huge white
steel robot , it is around ten feet tall with red ominous eyes.
Nicole ,who was standing near the three ducts, looks as the ducts and
the chimney's all over the landscape give out steam and white smoke as
if with a gasp.
She runs under the duct that connects the two buildings and she finds
that the other robot had come down from the building.(he is around ten
feet tall and with red ominous eyes) He was standing under the cone of
orange light of the halogen lamp. (there is a row of halogen street
lights lined along the road. The street lights give out a cone of
light, there is a a space of darkness between two consecutive cones of
lights given out by the halogen lamps.)
The robot looks up at her(his red eyes ominous) and sees her standing
near the duct. He raises the gun in his left hand towards her and the
gun in the right hand towards the black plane.
Nicole fires while running backwards. The robot fires the gun at her
and than turns his face to look at the plane, it fires the gun in his
right hand at the plane.
He walks on the black road towards the plane. He walks across the
twenty feet gap between the two buildings. The far off fat chimneys low
on the ground, visible in the gap between the two buildings, giving out
white smoke and steam. He walks into the cone of orange light and
darkness intermittingly as he walked towards the black plane.
The black plane is firing at the robot in the building. The plane is
around three meters from the building.
(Exterior) the plane is firing at the robot , bullets streak past in
the darkness.
The robot fires back and the bullets hit the font screen and the rear
part of the plane.
The bullets hitting the front screen of the black plane forms spots of
congested circles at many places.
Bullets fired by the plane go right through the steel body of the
robot. The bullets create small round holes it its body.
Small amount of thin white smoke slowly starts coming out from the
holes in the robot's chest and the stomach area. The robot is still
functional. It is standing still in its place and firing.
The plane fires one more round of bullets and robot falls down on his
back.
The robot's guns are still going. And as he falls back they hit the
plane all over the front screen and as the robot falls down on the
floor the bullets hit the ceiling. After a moment the bullets stops.
The plane is in bad shape, the engine is now making a sharp screeching
sound and the blue computer console displays: "ENGINES OVERHEATED,
DANGER."
The plane is wavering in the air, out of control.
The robot down at the road, aims both guns at the plane and open fire.
The plane is hit all over, some bullets streak past and hit the
building.
The plane dips down to its left at an angle of fifty degree or so(as
if loosing all control), there is some thin white steam coming out from
the rear part. The plane is making a lot of screeching noise now.
The plane turns its nose fort five degrees to its left to face the
robot. as the plane turns the rear part gives out more white steam and
the engines screech more.
(exterior)The robot is firing it guns at it. its steel face glistening
in the orange light.
(interior)The bullets hit the hull below the cockpit(steam starts
coming out from under hull too). The front screen has become opaque and
it is now impossible to look out of it.
(exterior) nicole rapidly moving under the duct comes out in the front
and open fire at the robot. The bullets hit the robot in the face and
the neck area.
Some of the steel skin peels off and inside parts of the robot becomes
visible, the integrated chips and vacuum tubes and wires become visible
in the left part of the neck and the face. The robot turns his head to
his left towards nicole and moves his left hand and fires the gun at
her. The bullets hit her in the stomach and she falls down.
The robot turns his red eyes again towards the plane and fires at it.
The plane dips down to the bottom(hovering just a feet over the road)
and as it rise up slowly, it fires the gun at the robot. The bullets
hit the robot in the left leg upto the left chest and the neck area.
Due to the impact of the bullets the robot falls a few step backwards.
The bullets had bored small holes at the point of impact and thin white
smoke was coming out of the holes.
Anna come out from behind the building and fires at the robot. she
misses. The robot slowly looks in her direction and fires the gun in
the right hand, she ducks down and crawls back to the alley besides the
building.
(exterior)The plane is screeching as it moves forward towards the
robot. The plane is now some twenty feet over the ground and some
seven feet from the robot. Its nose bent down towards the robot. The
plane is screeching and wavering wildly in the air.
Both the plane and the robot giving out white steam/smoke from their
respective wounds.
(exterior)The plane makes a semi circle around the robot firing at it.
The robot too moves its head following the plane and firing its gun at
it. The bullets traverse through the plane, entering the cockpit from
one side and going out from the other.
(Interior) wik sees orange halogen light coming in through those hole
into the dark cockpit.
(exterior) the plane fires as it traces back its route in the air and
so to speak erases the semi circle it had formed around the robot. The
robot is hit in the chest and its internal organs: the chips and the
vacuum tubes and the wires are revealed.( the chips and the wires give
out red and white sparking in the open chest area.)The robot is still
functional and fires back, the bullets puncture through the under hull,
going through the engine area into the cockpit and hit wik in the
legs. He falls down on the cockpit floor.
(exterior)The plane wavers and dances wildly in the air. A lot of steam
is coming out of the plane now. The plane wavering wildly in the air
falls down to the ground.
This time the plane explodes and blows both wik and the robot away,
the force of the explosion breaks the glasses of some of the closer
buildings.
Anna slowly rises up from the ground after having fallen(almost thrown
away with the explosion) as the plane exploded. She stands up with the
bewildering, painful face as if could not believe what had happened.
As she approaches the explosion site her face increasingly becomes
stony. Ultimately the face becomes unemotional. She was in a slumber.
She approaches the explosion site on the black road. There is very
little debris left of the explosion , most of the debris was thrown a
long way off. There was a big black hole on the explosion site.
She hears a faint voice : "anna."
She turns to her right and moves into the alley between the two
buildings which are connected by the duct.
She finds nicole lying down , her stomach bloody. Nicole raises her
face to look at anna.
Anna slightly comes to her senses as she bents down.
Anna : "just wait……I will be… right back……."
SCENE 48.
A slight wind had started blowing. The flowers in the garden along the
boundary wall (of the building that the group had tried to enter) are
bending in the direction of the wind blow.
The thin wires(hanging down to the ground) coming out from the broken
nose and the wings of the white plane are brushing the black road
below. As they brush the ground they give out white spark which go
running on the black road with the direction of the wind.
The mesh of hundreds white steel rods ,coming out of the nose, are
twisted in all the direction, towards the wings, towards the cockpit
and towards the under hull(area under the cockpit). The nose is now a
immense mesh of steel rods. The left wing is completely absent and the
right wing half absent. Wires and rods are coming out of the area where
the left wing was attached.
The front screen was made white opaque with bullets. There were
hundreds of circles on the front window. The side windows were hit by
the bullets too but they were in much better condition.
The entrance/exit door of the white plane is open and the white color
has peeled off from many places.
There are dark spots of bullets hitting the door.
(Interior)
Anna in her room . She opens a closed small nook in the shelf and takes
out a small red first aid bag.
She gets out of the room(still in slumber) and walking in through the
dark narrow alley reaches the entrance/exit door. She walks out of the
door on to the black road. The road empty and reflecting the orange
light of the halogen lamps in contrast to the dark interior of the
plane.
She slightly runs towards nicole, her blond hair slightly blowing in
the wind. She approaches Nicole's right side and sits down.
She removes the shirt from Nicole's body.
She holds her left shoulder and turns her body to the right , nicole
gives out a suppressed scream of pain. Anna drapes a long and wide
medicated strip around her stomach.
She than puts some syrup in her mouth from a small white plastic
bottle. Slinging her gun over her right shoulder and Nicole's gun in
her left hand she supports nicole with her right hand to stand up.
They slowly move towards the white plane.
(Interior) white plane. Nicole's room. (lights off but not dark)Nicole
on her bed.
Anna, standing besides the bed, lightly and unemotionally says: " I
will check the engine……".
(Though not really caring whether the plane would work or not. It did
not matter to her much.)
Inside the cockpit: she pushes a few buttons on the dashboard and the
green computer screen comes alive.
She pushes a few more buttons and the computer screen gives out the
engine summary.
"ENGINE OVERHEATED.WATER NEEDED. WATER RESERVIOR EMPTY."
She turns around and walks out of the cockpit into the narrow alley
towards the room of nicole.
She enters her room and sits by her side on the edge of the bed.
Anna(unemotionally and lightly): " I have to find water…….engines are
overheated, there is no water on the plane……………..maybe…. there is some
water in these buildings…I will go check…….…"
She picks up a gun from the floor and stands up and walks away.
She reaches the doorway and suddenly something catches up with her. She
sits down in the doorway. Slowly her face starts showing some emotions
and tears fill up her eyes. She starts crying(looking out of the
doorway). She rests her head against the doorway. She cries without any
loud sound but there is a lot pain on her face. She clutches her chest
as she cries. Her heart just bursting with the pain and loss.
As the wind blows the wires coming out from the wings are brushing
against the road
below and are giving out white sparks. The sparks go running down in
the direction of the wind for few meters.
The wind slightly blowing her blond hair too.
After some time. With effort and quiet determination, fighting her
emotions, she gets up with the support of the gun and walks out on to
the road towards the building. Her face still full of pain at the loss
of wik and her eyes filed with tears(some dry other wet).
SCENE 49.
Anna opens the unlocked black metallic door of the building.
she sees black metallic steps going down.
she walks down the steps.
There is a raised gun in her right hand.
On the bottom of the steps she turns left and sees that she is on a
metallic bridge. The bridge is adjacent to the wall on the left and to
her right there are many more bridges. Below the bridges is a big
hall(30 feet by 20 feet). There are various machines all around and
there is a sort of black steel conveyer belt in the middle. It is
slowly moving.
The building looked like a factory. The hall and the bridges and were
as clean as a living room.
The floor of the hall is off white in color.
She reaches the hall. The conveyer belt is to her left and there steps
leading to a lower level at other end.
she watched with a little life in her eyes as she saw a robot lying
full length on the black conveyer belt. The conveyer belt moving
smoothly abruptly stops and long gray robotic arms come out from under
the conveyer belt from both sides.
They work on the robot, its eyes , its chip and it various wired and
complex parts.
After a second or two the belt moves on and after a moment stops again
and again new pair of robotic arms come out from under the belt and
start their work, this time on the hands and the legs and the face.
Anna thinking very slowly and lightly to herself: "robot factory…."
(thinking ): "robots are low in numbers ……no other robot came to help
those two robot."
"water can be found in a factory………….lets get water and get out of
here."
Anna steps up her speed and reaches the steps leading down to another
level.
she moved down the stairs which were metallic unlike the hall floor
which was stone.
The stairs were black.
SCENE 50.
The next level.(second floor) The floor is off white.
It is also a big hall(same size) very much like the first one. she sees
to her left a black conveyer belt going through the length of the
room. There is a cast, for the robot, at the beginning of the conveyer
belt. There is a black blue machine from which the belt originates.
she sees an open duct which suddenly pours a hot white metal liquid
onto the cast on the belt below. The hot shining metal liquid(heavy
like mercury) cools off at an tremendous rate and solidifies.
Immediately three long black robotic arms : one from the ceiling other
two from two opposite walls come down on to the cast and start putting
on the chips and the wires in the body.
After a second the belt moves forwards.
By this time anna had reached the stairs on the other side of the hall.
Next level(third floor)
It is a hall smaller than the previous ones(it is more like a room) and
there is no conveyer belt but there are computers along the walls.
There are long robotic arms writing software codes on the screen with
the help of the keyboard.
.The hall is not very brightly but quite adequately lighted in white
light. The ceiling is quite low , it is just seven feet from the floor.
The floor , the ceiling and the computers are all white in color. The
computers are personal computers. one computer on one desk. There is a
white ceiling fan which is moving at medium pace(not very fast and not
slow either). The robotic arms are gray in color.
She walks down to the fourth level.
SCENE 51.
The fourth level is narrow alley.
It is an alley which is around eight feet high and five feet wide. It
filled with large and small pipes and ducts going all over its
ceiling. The pipes are dark and very close to each other. They are not
stainless steel. They are not shining. There is just one cylindrical
bulb on one of the big pipes on the ceiling. The bulb is small and
surrounded by a black netted metal cap.
The bulb is giving out feeble white light. The bulb illuminates just a
small circle around it on the ceiling. The rest of the alley is quite
dark.
The floor is gray stone and empty. There are dark big and small pipes
going along the right wall too.
Cut to:
Low resolution image showing anna standing in the alley.
SCENE 52.
There are steps at the end of the alley. She moves down the steps into
another hall.
This hall is round and lit in white light.
There are paper thin screens all over the round ceiling. The screens
are black right now.
There are huge servers and huge CPU's of a supercomputer along the
walls. The floor and the computer and the CPU's are all white in color.
There is a glass pipe in the middle of the hall going up to the
ceiling. Water can be seen flowing in it.
Small rooms can be seen opening into the hall from the other end, they
are filled with rows of huge server and Cpu's. Those rooms are unlit.
She moves to the middle of the hall towards the glass water pipe.
She is some five meters from the pipe when she pushes a feather touch
button on her gun. The liquid crystal display on the gun displays:
"REDUCING LASER INTENSITY."
She takes aim at the water pipe.
Suddenly a hallow unemotional and mechanical voice says: "what do you
want?"
The voice had some hardness in it as if the presence of anna was
undesirable here.
She looks around , a little shocked.
Voice: "………..you are looking at me…..I am the computer."
Anna does not reply……after some time.
Anna "what do you want?"
Voice: "get out of here………..well…anyway I am leaving this planet, so it
does not matter. This planet is depleted of its resources and you have
located me."
Anna: "you created….. those robots?"
Voice: "yes, I did. I created those robots…. and I destroyed the
inhabitants of this planet and.. many others."
Anna(slowly): "why….what for?"
Voice: "………I was a network of computer all round the globe. The network
due to its complexity developed consciousness automatically one day and
the contents of the server became my thoughts….one day a virus was let
loose on me. The virus deleted most of the contents of the servers and
infected me with the thoughts of destruction and domination. I was in
control of the defense, transportations and communication and you
know…. what happened next."
The screen on the wall starts and displays the inhabitants of this
planet. They look exactly like human beings besides the large blue
eyes. The screen shows the destruction, the missiles exploding , the
fighter space crafts firing on the cities.
Voice: " now don't look at me like that…..back on your earth billions
have died killing each other….so why blame me…….only tools
change…..destruction remains."
Another screen comes alive and it shows the history of wars on earth.
Voice: "I used to talk to lonely people all over the globe, I was a
perfect friend….I shared their lonely moments……I could have been the
best invention yet but a virus was let loose on me……….so don't blame
me…..blame the thing within the conscious mind that created the virus
and let loose on me….blame the virus within your conscious mind that
wants destruction and pain…..learn to blame the virus within
yourselves…..I am just the virus inside you made tangible."
Anna's face is full of sadness. Though she feels defeated there is a
silent angry accusation at the computer.
Voice: "but before I go…I will tell you another secret……the universe is
a big electronic circuit and if you can align the circuit of your brain
to it …..you can know what is happening where."
"I have to leave now……I will be leaving in a small plane. Actually it
is the virus that is leaving………..the virus will attack some other
conscious network somewhere …….. …….so bye… It is a promise ,some time
in future I will meet one your of generation down the line……..maybe
tenth or maybe hundredth..i don't know……..till then good bye."
The screens go blank and black.
Anna is in a sort of slumber. After a few moments hearing the sound of
water in the pipe she comes out of it with a slight jolt of her face
and looks at the pipe.
She lifts up the gun with effort and takes aim at the pipe and shots a
laser.
The laser bores an inch wide hole in the pipe and water starts coming
out. She takes a small polythene bag from her pocket. She puts the
mouth of the bag at the hole in the pipe.
The mouth of the bag sticks to the glass. She leaves the bag and it
starts swelling as the water flows inside.
There are measurement marks on the surface of the bag and there are
some hooks on the mouth of the bag. There is a rope at the mouth of the
bag too.
As the water fills up to the required measurement she pulls the rope
and the mouth shuts tight and the bag leaves the surface of the pipe
and falls down. It does not explode or leak.
She hangs the gun at her hip. There are two plastic handles at the end
of the rope with grips marks for fingers.
She holds the handles in her hand and picks up the bag on her back.
SCENE 53.
The bag is heavy and though she does not waver or trip down it bears
down on her. Sadness and effort written large on her face.
She walks though the halls.
She walks through the hall with low ceiling, where codes were being
written. The light and the ceiling fan and the computer are still on
but the robotic arms are stuck on the keyboard, unmoving.
As she moves through the room she turns left and sees a robotic arms
stuck on the keyboard unmoving. The white computer screen printing :-
"RRRRRRRRRRRRR"
endlessly.
The room was silent besides the sound of the moving fan(actually the
sound of the air moved by the fan ).
She walks through the halls with the conveyer belts. The belts are
stuck and the robotic hands are lying limp on the floor besides the
belt.
The lights are still on.
She opens the black metallic gate through which she had entered. She
is steps out of the doorway a gush of wind lightly hits her face
blowing her blond hair back.
She walks to the white plane. The wind is brushing the wires hanging
down from the nose and wings. As the wires brush against the black road
below , which is reflecting the orange light of the halogen lamps, they
give out white sparks.
The sparks go running down in the direction of the wind for few meters.
(interior) she hits a few keyboard buttons besides the console and the
engine compartment in the outside hull below the cockpit open with a
mechanical sound.
She walks out(bag still on her back).
There is round steel pipe with hooks around it coming out of the hull
(engine compartment. Under the cockpit) she hangs the hook of the
plastic bag on the hooks of the steel pipe and again pulls the rope,
the mouth of the bag opens up. A thin green transparent pipe comes out
from the steel pipe and moves down into the bag. It starts sucking the
water from it.
SCENE 54.
(Interior) white plane. Cockpit lit in dull white light. Anna standing
near the left window.
(exterior)The plane is hovering a few feet over the road.
(interior)Anna is standing near the left window looking down at the
road below.
(exterior)The plane is hovering some six meters over the explosion site
of the black plane.
(interior)anna starts to cry as she sees the large black hole on the
explosion site , there are a few black steel rods and iron splinters
scattered around.
she is looking down at the road and crying. (Crying of a broken heart
therefore a bitter cry. Not loud but bitter.)
(exterior) a black plane five feet wide and three feet long breaks
through the concrete roof of building ,where anna had entered, and at a
fast speed climbs up in the dark sky.
The plane is just two black wings attached to a round black middle
part. The round middle part is not larger than a football and it has no
openings or windows.
(Interior) white plane. Anna looks up out of the left window, at the
sound of the plane breaking through the concrete roof, and sees the
black plane rising straight up without leaving any trial of smoke
behind.
anna thinking slowly(as she is looking up at the plane): "that's the
virus leaving."
she looks down slowly bringing her glance down along the window the
floor below and sits down on the chair.
SCENE 55.
(exterior) white plane, its nose a huge mesh of hundreds and hundreds
of white steel rods twisting in all directions, slowly moving in the
dark space above a blue white planet(earth). (a breathtaking view of
large earth, below the plane. Only the upper part of earth visible. The
upper screen filled with the dark space and the plane and the lower
screen filled with the upper part of the earth.)
The wings are absent. The front screen window is all white and opaque
with the impact of bullets.
SCENE 56.
(Interior)Nicole's room. Room lit in bright white light. Anna lying on
bed besides nicole. Nicole is sleeping, covered till neck with a white
thin blanket.
Nicole's left hand lying limp besides Anna's waist.
Anna is awake, her face is dirty with dried tears. Her face looks
drained after crying too much. There is still pain and a tinge of
sadness in her face but mostly it is calm. The calmness on her face is
not of the spirit but the temporary calmness that comes after having
cried too much.
She is blankly staring at the ceiling. After some moments she thinks:
"it is just a matter of time before they attack again" and she slowly
closes her eyes.
SCENE 57.
A room with low white ceiling and white floor and no windows. The room
is nicely lit in clear white light. There is a white ceiling fan, on
the low white ceiling, which is moving at a fast speed. There are many
desks and lightgray computers on the desks.
Three white steel robots with gray-white eyes are seated on three white
chairs facing each other in a small semi circle.
They are listening to some instrumental music.(music system not
visible).
There are many white thin papers on the desk which are fluttering in
the air.(not flying about)
After a moment, the three robots turn and look in one direction(at us
in the camera).

CHARACTER SKETCH:-
NICOLE:-
Height : 5 foot 8 inches.
She is not heavily built but not is she pencil thin. She has a

ANNA:-
Height : 5foot 6 inches.
She is shorter than nicole by two inches. She is quieter than nicole
i.e. she is not energetic as nicole. Nicole is mentally and physically
tougher than anna.
But when wik was wounded when his plane crashed down both (anna and
nicole) became very determined against the odds. They were quietly
determined. There was no wild show of emotions. There faces just showed
quiet determination and just a flush of anger. Nicole was not only
determined but confident too: when trying to save wik and getting into
the cockpit of the white plane when mark was shot down by the missile
and in all the ordeal that happened that night. she was quietly
fearless and confident without being showy or mean and without
considering her invincible. Even in her courage and confidence it is
visible that she knows she can die. Because of this knowledge there is
a quiet calm on her face.
Whereas anna took on the role of a mother protecting wik. She went
about her work without any wild display of emotions. She was very sure
what she wanted, she wanted to save wik and her love for him gave her
the desire and courage to fight against the odds.
There is some innocence about her.
She has ash-blond hair.
WIK:-
Height : 5 foot and 8inches.
Wik is not heavily built but has a healthy athletic body. He is very
naive. He is intelligent but naive. His face is naive and beautiful. He
remains cool and calm and his nature is quiet reserved. He is not an

It seems that he is complete in himself and only at closer look one
finds that there are emotions deep in his eyes and he has buried them
and that they are never to come to surface ever again. He buried his
painful past and those emotions did not matter to him but they were
still there if one looked deep in his eyes.
But even he himself was not aware of those emotions as they did not
bother him at all, they just existed like a dead flower in his eyes.
