                         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)
