EXT. CITY SCAPE - NIGHT
SUPERIMPOSE TEXT FADE IN: THE FUTURE, 2500
Several people talk amongst each other amidst a pile of
smoldering ruin in the middle of a destroyed road. Some
vehicles can be seen hovering in the sky.
CIVILIAN
How did it ever get this bad?
FADE TO BLACK.
EXT. CITY SCAPE - DAY
ESTABLISHING SHOT - CITY HORIZON
Hover cars and high rise buildings line the horizon.
CUT TO:
A lot of space age technology visible, people are going about
business as usual on a busy weekday.
INT. PRESS ROOM - MOMENTS LATER
SUPERIMPOSE TEXT FADE IN: INTERVAL 01, CONTAGION
Several members of the press are huddled around a podium with
display screens and a few microphones. At the podium,
ARISTIDE is raising her arms and smiling at the reporters,
beckoning them to silence.
ARISTIDE
We have never before experienced
this kind of rise in shares in the
last decade. With our stock price
at its highest points, Genova
Biotech remains a force to be
reckoned with.
The press is silent while listening, almost mesmerized.

ARISTIDE
We have always believed in the
value of bioresearch to better
serve humanity, and to that end, we
will not stop in developing new
technologies to benefit society and
hamper the efforts of terrorist
groups, by supplying our weapons to
the military.
As ARISTIDE stops talking, the reporters clamor, trying to
get a question across.
REPORTER # 1
Is it true that the weapons you
manufacture have no fail-safe, and
can be used by any faction, good or
bad?
ARISTIDE laughs at the reporter and raises her hand again to
draw his point to a close. ARISTIDE’S LAWYER, well groomed
and dressed in an expensive suit, stands up and approaches a
second microphone while raising his hand.
ARISTIDE’S LAWYER
Our weapons are manufactured in
accordance with international
treaties and federal law. We are
constantly working with the
government to ensure that we
benefit only ourselves. Any other
questions?
ARISTIDE
Genova Biotech is always striving
to do what’s best for all of us. We
need our nation to be empowered by
our technology, not hampered by it.
I think the thought in itself is
absolute hearsay.
REPORTER # 2
Is it true that the financial
investments of the company outweigh
the companies profits?
ARISTIDE
We only invest in projects that our
analysts predict will generate a
positive return for us. There’s no
reason to think so, no. In fact the
investments will probably on serve
to raise the net profit.
2.

ARISTIDE scans the room, mostly quiet in a lull.
ARISTIDE
Thank you all.
The reporters further clamor as ARISTIDE starts to walk away,
before ARISTIDE and the rest of the Genova Biotech executive
team leave the room.
EXT. DESERT - LATER
KOSHI holds an AK-47 rifle in his hand.
KOSHI
It is really hot out here.
KOSHI quickly reloads the rifle using sleight of hand.
INT. LAB - DAY
KOSHI opens the door to the LAB and walks towards a table
with lots of small spare parts.
KOSHI
How am I gonna sell this stuff? Are
these really the keys to the
kingdom?
KOSHI looks around, in need of a conversation. KOSHI grabs
his cell phone and calls BIGIEU.
BIGIEU
Hello?
KOSHI
It’s me.
BIGIEU
How’s it going? Need to talk?
KOSHI
Not really. I feel better already.
BIGIEU
(laughing)
Oka--
Hanging up, KOSHI gets his keys the lab hurriedly.
3.

EXT. KOSHI’S HOUSE - LATER
KOSHI’S hovercar slowly drifts to a standstill outside the
driveway patio adjacent to the house’s entrance.
WIDE SHOT - HOUSE
Tall pillars adjoin a high, vaulted roof. The houses exterior
is painted a pastel vermillion, in stark contrast to the
white pillars. In each window as seen from outside, the
brightly colored silk curtains further exemplify the
contrast.
Outside the house, a long field of trimmed grass is inscribed
by several ornate rectangular hedged islands, all carefully
adorned with orchids and other assorted flowers coming out of
a hothouse in urns and decorating the presentation further.
The courtyard walls on each side, with alternating bricks of
light red and grey, contain several elevated atrium areas for
larger trees, carefully placed not to occlude the
presentation of the entrance itself. The elevation of land
adjacent to each wall mystifies the eye, as it serves almost
as an optical illusion as to the true horizon line when
viewed from afar. Each tree trimmed past the side walls are
well-watered and do not diminish from the elegance of the
flowers by the sheer size.
The serene and inviting colors of the foliage that inscribe
the house are only further bolstered by the location, far
from any interruptions from the city or metropolis. Not a
single car or droid not employed by the house is visible
anywhere on the horizon, and well into the distance, high
walls block the view of the inquisitive.
Various worker droids buzz about quickly on the premises,
ensuring fertility levels and grass heights, while
simultaneously maintaining what used to be wrote labor for
real workers. So as to maintain the pristine visual quality
of the property, the droids are all cloaked with the
exception of a small pastel colored led light to indicate
their presence, and are all programmed to avoid and/or report
to human presence in the event of any person wandering within
25 meters. Their maximum speed guarantees that there will
never be an accidental collision with another person, further
satisfying the obvious requirement of safety.
KOSHI walks into the house tiredly.
4.

INT. KOSHI’S HOUSE - MOMENTS LATER
GIRL
(excited)
There you are!
KOSHI
Yeah. All right. Take it easy will
ya?
GIRL
(pouting)
Did you eat yet? Are you hun--
KOSHI
Yeah. What are you doing?
The GIRL looks down at her feet.
GIRL
Nothing.
KOSHI
Long day. I’m gonna go for a run.
The GIRL walks over to the coat rack to get a running jacket,
and starts walking towards KOSHI.
KOSHI (CONT’D)
Toss it over.
The GIRL forcefully throws the jacket at KOSHI. KOSHI just
manages to catch it.
KOSHI (CONT’D)
You are trouble, you know that?
The GIRL smiles innocently.
KOSHI puts the jacket on as he walks out of the door and
jumps in the car.
EXT. FIELD - AFTERNOON
KOSHI exits his car and begins to run on a path in a small
field.
KOSHI
This heat! Talk about a fucking
beat that would sap anyone’s--
KOSHI sees a small blue object in the distance, amongst some
brush close to the path and slowly walks towards it.
5.

KOSHI (CONT’D)
What in the...?
KOSHI studies the creature. It has long, spindly arms and
legs, and a small tuft of green hair on its head. It almost
looks comical in its exaggerated appearance.
NU
(ailing)
(Incoherent mumble)
Suddenly, a small glowing orb of light flies out of the blue
creature towards KOSHI. KOSHI lunges back, and the object
permeates his arm.
KOSHI
(exclaims)
What the hell?!
KOSHI feels the point of impact on his arm, but does not
notice anything out of the ordinary. He looks back at the
creature.
KOSHI (CONT’D)
This is new.
NU
(Incoherent mumble)
KOSHI
Ok, you want to be called Nu. I get
it.
KOSHI runs back to his car to get a small burlap blanket, and
slowly carries NU back to the car in the blanket.
KOSHI (CONT’D)
You’re a heavy little fucker,
aren’t ya?
KOSHI deposits NU in the trunk and drives back to the LAB.
The camera fades to black to hint the progression of time.
EXT. CITY SCAPE - EVENING
Several hovercars can be seen flying around high-rise
buildings, the cityscape riddled with bright lights.
Vertically built, the aerial roads are teeming with buzzing
hovercars, stopping and going at hovering red / green lit
intersections.
6.

Some people can be seen walking along the ground with high-
tech gear / modifications. Androids accompany some people,
and advertisements line the sky.
INT. BLACK MESA LAB - EVENING
Several scientists horde over research papers in a large lab
room. Large glass canisters encase several living creatures,
and small bubbles of air can be seen floating to the top of
each canister. Dim, green lights fill the rooms and hallways,
and dark grey metal grates and platforms line the perimeters.
INT. BLACK MESA CORPORATE OFFICE - EVENING
In a dark office, two figures converse. GENOVA BIOTECH
DIRECTOR is shown in a dark silhouette, barely visible.
GENOVA BIOTECH DIRECTOR
A corporation lives on the knife’s
edge. We begin to grow ever more
engrossed in debt. We must begin
the project. What of the prototype?
Where do we stand?
HIRSCH
We did not get sanctioned yet by
the --
What are the alternatives?
HIRSCH is silent.
HIRSCH
(after a momentary pause)
There is one who can help us.
Who?
HIRSCH
A scientist. In MIT. He’s familiar
with our research. He can finish
the prototype. But will he go for
it?
The GENOVA BIOTECH DIRECTOR looks down at his table slowly,
silhouetted in darkness.
I expect he will go with us.
7.

HIRSCH walks out of the room and the door automatically
closes behind him, slowly.
INT. LAB - DAY
KOSHI walks out of a storage closet with a large padded
bulkhead for the armature suit.
NU
Are you sure? Run the simulation
now? Is it not dangerous?
KOSHI
Of course not. Should work. Gotta
keep this place open.
NU nods and presses a few buttons on a computer. The armature
suit hatch opens. Koshi confidently steps in, and raises his
arm in acknowledgement.
NU
Enabling suit power. Please stand
by.
NU presses another button on the computer and types a few
keystrokes. A low hum begins to raise in volume and several
lights appear on the armature suit. KOSHI looks onwards with
hope.
NU (CONT’D)
There seems to be an anomaly.
Several of the indicators are
exceeding standard ranges for
capacitance... however now the
values are returning to acceptable
levels.
NU presses a red switch to enable the primary suit functions
for mobility. Suddenly, a few sparks emit from the left
shoulder of the armature suit and several warning lights go
off.
NU (CONT’D)
(exclaims)
There are several exceeded
parameters!
KOSHI
(exclaims)
Abort! Abort!
NU presses a yellow abort button, and is thrown backwards
from the console with a jolt of electricity, unconscious.
8.

KOSHI slowly raises his arm and moves the leg of the suit
towards the console, but is knocked backwards with several
jolts of electricity. More sparks / thick smoke emanate from
the suit. KOSHI falls on one knee, and the suit turns off.
Thick black smoke engulfs the LAB.
TIME CUT:
INT. LAB - LATER
NU, covered with electrical scars, slowly looks up from the
ground. NU looks towards the console, then the armature suit.
An organic, palpating mass engulfs the suit. NU gets up and
walks towards the mass. NU picks up a small utility knife
from the work bench and moves to cut into the mass. Plasma
erupts from the point of impact and the entire mass slides to
the floor like a womb. The suits metal components have been
partially embedded in KOSHI’s skin.
NU walks towards a medical cabinet and begins to apply gauze
to itself, while slowly taking out more and more items from
the cabinet.
FADE TO:
NU surgically removes some of the metal components from
KOSHI. Attempts at removing embedded components result in a
twitch.
FADE TO:
More and more shards are removed, until no more can be done.
FADE TO BLACK.
EXT. MIT BIOENGINEERING SCHOOL - DAY
ESTABLISHING SHOT - SCHOOL STRUCTURE AND LOT
SUPERIMPOSE TEXT: 1 YEAR LATER
Hover cars fly around a large, metallic building with vaulted
windows and fluorescent lights lining the sides. Students
walk along the corridors.
INT. MIT BIOENGINEERING SCHOOL - DAY
DERRIDA
Thank you for your consideration of
my proposal.
9.

WIDE SHOT -
DERRIDA walks out of a conference room with several papers in
a document folder, including several research awards and
grants for a new research project. He smiles.
A man is sitting in a black shuttle car with dark tinted
windows outside the school. Using electronic zoom binoculars,
he focuses on DERRIDA.
DISSOLVE TO:
EXT. LAB - EVENING
The sun sets behind the lab, a few lights on.
INT. LAB - EVENING
KOSHI walks over to his old cell phone’s answering machine to
check his messages and find that BIGIEU has left several
messages in concern. He begins to play them back.
BIGIEU
Look. I know you’re alright over
there whatever you’re doing.
The tone beeps signalling the next message.
BIGIEU (CONT’D)
I just came to the lab, and it was
locked. I guess you’ve moved on. I
hope you’re all right whatever
you’re doing!
KOSHI looks down, surprised. He quickly grabs his new cell
phone and calls BIGIEU.
BIGIEU (CONT’D)
Hello?
KOSHI
Hey.. I’m--
BIGIEU
(exclaims)
Koshi!! Oh my god!
KOSHI
Yeah. Something happened. And I
kinda forgot to pick up.
10.
(MORE)

In fact I got a new cell and
ignored the old one completely
because my friend here took care of
it.
BIGIEU
(jealously)
A nice friend, right? Who?!
KOSHI
(laughs)
It’s not a girl, although some
things have happened. Come by. We
should talk.
BIGIEU
I’m on my way!
KOSHI hands NU a small welding kit. Plans for a particle
accelerator are visible on the wall. NU lowers the welding
arm to a turret on the suit, affixed to KOSHI’S arm.
NU
Temperature levels are nominal.
KOSHI
Luckily this can be removed.
CLOSE SHOT - TURRET ARM
KOSHI (CONT’D)
It can be manufactured from the
design and sold. We can build on
that.
NU
Yes.
KOSHI fires a projectile using the accelerator. It misfires
and part of the encasing rod on the turret flies to the
right. NU scrambles to intercept the rod before it destroys a
console.
KOSHI
Oh boy. I think I’ve had enough for
today.
NU
Enough for the moment but soon to
continue.
KOSHI looks at NU and smiles approvingly.
11.
KOSHI (CONT'D)

KOSHI walks out to the window to see BIGIEU, speeding along
in her hoverbike. BIGIEU waves as she sees KOSHI through the
window. KOSHI opens the door and waves.
BIGIEU
Koshi! Oh my -- what happened to
you?
KOSHI
Quick.. come in. Don’t make a big
thing about it will ya?
BIGIEU walks into the LAB, unsure of what to expect.
KOSHI (CONT’D)
See, things have happened. To me,
to my plans. I had an accident,
sort of an irreversible one.
BIGIEU notices something moving at the other side of the
room.
BIGIEU
Argh! What is that?!
BIGIEU immediately unholsters her firearm and points it at
the creature.
KOSHI
Hey!! Relax will ya?! Put it down.
BIGIEU lowers the weapon, eyeing NU cautiously.
KOSHI (CONT’D)
I found this little guy stranded on
the side of the park path. I had
to. And that was how it happened.
And here I am. The weapon plans
have worked out and since last year
we’ve made a lot of new designs
which we’ve sold. I have a new..
uh.. house by the way.
BIGIEU
(wonderment)
I knew you would.
KOSHI
Yeah well, like I said, things have
changed. With my life, everything.
Anyway.
KOSHI and BIGIEU talk wistfully about the past in a lapsed
segment.
12.

BIGIEU
Is she everything you wanted?
KOSHI
She’s a good person. She makes me
laugh.
BIGIEU
Does she makes you laugh?
KOSHI
Yeah. And I never make her cry,
either.
TIME CUT:
BIGIEU
You’ll be happy to know I’m working
in a new lab position now.
Researcher and loving it. Good
work, good pay. Still easy though.
KOSHI
Easy?
BIGIEU
The work load. They never could
keep me busy.
KOSHI
Oh gosh.
TIME CUT:
KOSHI (CONT’D)
You’ll do all right in that place.
And I’m sorry. I’m sorr--
BIGIEU
Sorry? For what?
KOSHI
For.. I don’t know. My life. The
things that happ--
BIGIEU
Everyone goes through that. Or most
people try to at least. You were
just lucky enough to have it happen
to you.
KOSHI
It’s not luck, I planned it. But
thanks.
13.

BIGIEU smirks.
FADE TO:
BIGIEU hugs KOSHI and leaves.
KOSHI grabs keys from the table and exits the LAB to enter a
hover car. The hover car slowly raises from the ground and
speeds off.
14.

EXT. MIT BIOENGINEERING SCHOOL - DAY
ESTABLISHING SHOT - SCHOOL ENTRANCE
Students briskly walk the corridors. One student gets on a
hover bike and takes off from an adjacent platform into the
distance.
INT. MIT BIOENGINEERING SCHOOL - DAY
DERRIDA sits amongst a panel of researchers.
DERRIDA
That theory is greater accomplished
with this method.
DERRIDA describes an alternate postulate for a theorem
offered by another professor.
SUPERIMPOSE TEXT FADE IN: INTERVAL 02, DERRIDA
HIRSCH
The plan is underway for a new
project.
BIGIEU
What type of project?
HIRSCH
I think you just wandered a bit
past your pay grade.
BIGIEU
The D/GENERATION?
HIRSCH
You’re aware of the weapon?
BIGIEU
I had heard rumors, but I wasn’t
sure until just now.
HIRSCH
The rumors are false, and it’s just
conjecture. It wasn’t so long ago
that you were a test subject for
our research.
15.

HIRSCH briskly walks away. BIGIEU scoffs softly. After a few
moments, BIGIEU is terrified of the possibility. BIGIEU takes
her items and leaves the room. An electronic eye embedded in
the wall tracks BIGIEU as she leaves the BLACK MESA LAB.
BIGIEU begins to walk towards her hover bike.
GUARD # 1
Get her!
BIGIEU
(exclaims)
Huh?
GUARD # 2
Kick that bike over!
GUARD # 1 kicks over the bike and GUARD # 2 fires a pulse
rifle at BIGIEU.
BIGIEU
Ahhgh!
BIGIEU falls with a thud, unconscious. The keys for the hover
bike fly into the air and on the floor.
CLOSE UP - KEYS ON FLOOR
Keys on the floor of entrance to the BLACK MESA LAB
EXT. LAB - DAY
KOSHI aims a welding laser at the connection of two encasing
ports on the particle accelerator. The laser fires, bright
red with a light display of metallic smoke. KOSHI hands NU
the accelerator.
NU
Firing sequence initiated.
A small spark is emitted before the accelerator hits a target
300 feet away.
NU (CONT’D)
The particle accelerator is
functional.
Two scientists in hazardous material suits stand adjacent to
a small research table. A large mutant creature lies on the
table, unconscious.
16.

SCIENTIST # 1
Is the prototype mobile?
SCIENTIST # 2
Yes. It responded to electrical
stimulus.
SCIENTIST # 2 tags the creature with the label “C/GENERATION”
and begins removing several implants from the creatures side.
EXT. BORDER - EVENING
DERRIDA speeds to a science conference, looking down at the
LED clock display on his car.
DERRIDA
I can’t miss this.
DERRIDA briefly looks on to the rear view mirror and sees
nothing. He slowly sips from a thermos of coffee. DERRIDA
looks down at the thermos to put it back in the holder.
DERRIDA (CONT’D)
This coffee is too cold.
Suddenly, lights appear from the back of the car. Two hover
bikes speed towards DERRIDA’S car. GUARD # 1 fires an emp
pulse at the car. DERRIDA suddenly looks up.
DERRIDA (CONT’D)
Huh?!
DERRIDA’S car stalls and falls towards to ground. The car
skids along the terrain leaving a long trial of dust before
coming to a standstill. There is a brief detached silence.
GUARD # 1
Move in.
The GUARDS approach the downed car and open the door to get
to DERRIDA.
CUT TO:
INT. BLACK MESA HOLDING CELL - MOMENTS LATER
BIGIEU wakes up from a slumber and looks towards the door of
her holding cell. The cell is a pale taupe color, dimly lit.
There are brief echoes of chatter from other prisoners
nearby. Two prison GUARDS are near the cell, talking.
17.

PRISON GUARD # 1
We found this one on the roadside
after she tried to run.
PRISON GUARD # 2
Yeah, she used to work here.
PRISON GUARD # 1
Really?
PRISON GUARD # 2
Yeah. Pretty high up. She’s a suit,
or something. Corporate.
The GUARDS look at BIGIEU in her cell and guffaw with muffled
laughter. The GUARDS begin to walk away from the cell down
the corridor, while continuing to talk. The prison WARDEN
suddenly appears from a door down the corridor and walks
towards the GUARDS.
WARDEN
We may have a broken conduit in
cell block b. One of you is an
engineer right?
PRISON GUARD # 2
Yeah, I can check it out.
All walk out.
INT. LAB - MOMENTS LATER
KOSHI holds up a final prototype of the particle accelerator
to the light in careful thought.
KOSHI
Looks good.
NU
Is it marketable?
KOSHI
Yes.
INT. BLACK MESA LAB - MOMENTS LATER
Several guards surround DERRIDA. HIRSCH opens a door and
approaches slowly from a dimly lit corridor.
HIRSCH
You know why we’re treating you
like this?
18.

DERRIDA
Put the guns down.
HIRSCH
I wouldn’t be here if I didn’t want
to talk to you. We need some help.
They haven’t explained everything
to you. I can do that, son.
HIRSCH momentarily looks at one of the guards standing
nearby. The guard raises a weapon in an intimidating fashion.
The guards gesture for DERRIDA to walk towards the door, and
everyone leaves the room and heads down a long series of
corridors to get to a test chamber.
Through a glass pane on the door, DERRIDA sees the
unconscious figure of a small girl. The door opens and
everyone walks in.
DERRIDA
I didn’t volunteer for this.
HIRSCH
You didn’t pick us. We picked you.
We need you to finish this project.
This is it. Really give yourself to
this program.
DERRIDA looks at HIRSCH briefly before beginning to walk
towards the door to the main hall. HIRSCH steps in front of
DERRIDA and looks directly at him.
HIRSCH (CONT’D)
We need you to finish this project.
Can you help us, son?
INT. BLACK MESA HOLDING CELL - MOMENTS LATER
BIGIEU slowly goes through a transformation into her other
form. She notices that the guard is asleep outside, with a
key in his holster.
BIGIEU
This will be quick work.
BIGIEU poises herself to move her tail through the door grate
to get the keys. She surveys the surrounding area, slowly
opening the door. BIGIEU slowly walks towards the far wall
away from the cell. BIGIEU looks up and sees a nearby ledge,
with a large vent grate.
BIGIEU (CONT’D)
I can make that.
19.

BIGIEU reels back and jumps up on the ledge stealthily.
BIGIEU paws at the grate and eventually manages to jar one
side open, and swings out onto an adjacent wall.
BIGIEU (CONT’D)
How will I get out of here?
BIGIEU looks around at the horizon, and then down at a a few
parked hover cars.
BIGIEU (CONT’D)
Maybe these keys will work.
BIGIEU presses the unlock button on the keys she got from the
GUARD. BIGIEU notices a nearby car signal with a light.
BIGIEU begins to bound quickly towards the car under the
cover of night.
Looking back in the distance to the LAB, BIGIEU notices a red
warning signal flare and a siren go off.
BIGIEU (CONT’D)
I need to move.
As BIGIEU nears the car, she slows to a walk pace, and slowly
transforms back into her human self, hiding behind the
quarter panel of the car and looking up at the LAB. She can
see some detachments headed for her location.
BIGIEU (CONT’D)
Nice car.
At the car door, BIGIEU opens the hinge to enter the vehicle.
BIGIEU (CONT’D)
This nav should get me back.
The hover car slowly raises from the ground and takes off
into space with a burst of light, while being trailed by the
detachments from the LAB.
GUARD # 1
Sir, a signal flare was set off.
Looks like we have an escape.
HIRSCH looks downwards in a brief moment of urgency, and
looks back up at DERRIDA.
HIRSCH
We’ll talk later, son.
20.

HIRSCH hurriedly walks out of the LAB into the main hall.
21.

INT. KOSHI’S HOUSE - NIGHT
WINTOUR’S EMPLOYEE walks up to the door of the house and
rings the bell. KOSHI opens the door and smiles, as does the
employee.
SUPERIMPOSE TEXT FADE IN: INTERVAL 03, R&D
WINTOUR’S EMPLOYEE
Here they are.
KOSHI
Thank you.
As the employee walks away, KOSHI closes the door. Right
before the door closes, a hand pushes back on the door from
the other side.
KOSHI
Hmm.
KOSHI opens the door and sees WINTOUR.
KOSHI
Oh boy. What the hell are you doing
here? Don’t you have things to do?
WINTOUR laughs.
WINTOUR
How have you been?
KOSHI
Well. Come on in.
WINTOUR looks at KOSHI’S arm.
WINTOUR
What happened?!
KOSHI
I’ll tell you about it.
WINTOUR and KOSHI walk inside. WINTOUR sees a pink bra hung
up on the top of a chair at the table and clears her throat.
KOSHI runs up to the bra and throws it under the table,
blushing. WINTOUR and KOSHI take a seat at the dining table.
WINTOUR
So what have you been up to?
22.

KOSHI
Things. Been doing some research.
What you see now is the result of
an experiment that went haywire,
but I’m using it to make something
that I can sell, hopefully in bulk.
WINTOUR
I think you’re going to do all
right. And this thing your working
on, I have a good feeling about it.
Like maybe it’s going to help us
out.
KOSHI
Yeah.
WINTOUR smiles and looks around before getting up and
starting back for the door. KOSHI opens the door and shakes
WINTOUR’S hand.
KOSHI
Thanks for coming by. You sure
knocked me for a loop coming all
the way out here.
As WINTOUR leaves, KOSHI notices a drunk man shouting
expletives on the adjacent street. Not immediately sensing
any threat, KOSHI walks up to the man.
KOSHI (CONT’D)
What are you doing?
MIKE THE COWBOY
Who the fuck are you?
KOSHI
Whoa there. Take it easy.
MIKE THE COWBOY
You wanna die?
MIKE THE COWBOY brandishes a handgun and points it at KOSHI.
KOSHI
You got me.
KOSHI walks at a normal pace up to MIKE THE COWBOY.
MIKE THE COWBOY
Don’t move!
KOSHI continues walking and aims the gun downwards. MIKE THE
COWBOY looks at KOSHI in surprise.
23.

KOSHI
The barrel on that thing’s a little
long.. Between that and the wide
gauge it’s gonna diminish your FPS.
They both walk back to the house. They enter the house.
KOSHI (CONT’D)
What’s your name.
MIKE THE COWBOY
Mike. My friends call me Mike the
cowboy.
KOSHI
Well I’ve never heard of you.
MIKE THE COWBOY
What about you?
KOSHI
Koshi.
MIKE THE COWBOY
That’s way cooler!
KOSHI
No it’s not.
A GIRL walks in the main hall from another room and looks
suspiciously at MIKE THE COWBOY.
GIRL
Who is that?
KOSHI
That’s nobody. Get some rest.
The GIRL, in a long nightgown, walks up to the sink and
quickly grabs a red plastic cup and fills it with water,
cautiously eyeing MIKE THE COWBOY. She quickly scampers away
to the same room she exited.
MIKE THE COWBOY
Nice girl.
KOSHI
Yeah, it happens to the best of us.
MIKE THE COWBOY
How come I can’t meet girls like
that?
24.

KOSHI
Maybe never. Your Russian accent.
Both laugh.
INT. BLACK MESA LAB - THE NEXT DAY
Several scientists approach the glass encasement of the test
chamber. DERRIDA, performing tests on a console nearby, walks
out. The gaunt, pale appearance of the D/GENERATION project,
clamped to a upright metal platform becomes visible as the
lights slowly raise.
SCIENTIST # 1
We have to approach with caution.
SCIENTIST # 2
Yes.
SCIENTIST # 2 begins to apply a sedative to the D/GENERATION
while performing various motor/reflex tests. The tests
concluded, both wait for the sedative to dissipate. The
D/GENERATION gains consciousness.
D/GENERATION
(disoriented, raspy)
Aaaargh.
SCIENTIST # 1
Are you with us?
There is silence.
SCIENTIST # 1 (CONT’D)
Can you hear us?
Further silence ensues while the D/GENERATION looks up at the
SCIENTIST through the glass window.
I repeat, Can you-
D/GENERATION
Yes. What would you have me do?
SCIENTIST # 1
We have to run some tests, and then
you will be tasked.
D/GENERATION
I understand.
25.

DERRIDA completes work on a small automated messenger robot
that can successfully evacuate the holding area where he is
being kept to send a message to the outside world to inform
society of his capture.
DERRIDA
(in a soft voice)
Now go forth!
DERRIDA turns the droid on and a small red light emits from
it, as it slowly raises from the ground, cloaking itself, and
flying out of the window grate.
INT. VINTAGE HOUSE - AFTERNOON
SUPERIMPOSE TEXT: SEVERAL YEARS EARLIER
ALMA
Mommy!
ALMA runs towards her mother ALICE and hugs her ecstatically.
The force of her hug immediately hurts her.
ALICE
Alma! Don’t hug so hard!
ALMA
Sorry.
ALMA backs away and smiles, still excited. ALMA scampers away
to her room.
MICHAEL
We need to take her to Susie.
She’ll figure out what’s with her.
ALICE, ALMA and MICHAEL drive in their hover car to see a
psychologist for evaluation of ALMA’S condition. They
approach a pastel blue building with square glass windows,
halfway closed with blinds. A wooden sign reads “Driscoll
Counseling Services” outside in large white letters on a deep
red background.
INT. DRISCOLL COUNSELING SERVICES - MOMENTS LATER
All walk in.
SUSAN
Hey guys!
26.

ALMA
Hi.
MICHAEL
Hey.
CUT TO:
SUSAN eyes ALMA uncomfortably. SUSAN looks down at her watch
and then back at ALMA.
SUSAN
Do you know why you’re here today?
ALMA
No.
SUSAN laughs at the response. ALMA, instinctively triggered
by the mocking laughter, suddenly becomes enraged. Small
items begin to fly up into the air around them.
SUSAN
Oh my word! What is going on?
ALMA
No.
The items fly towards SUSAN and she falls of her chair,
shrieking.
SUSAN
Help! Police!
ALMA looks at SUSAN and sits still in her chair, unaware of
any danger of capture. SUSAN scrambles for her phone and
dials the police. SUSAN retreats behind her mahogany table
and sits there until they arrive.
EXT. DRISCOLL COUNSELING SERVICES - LATER
Police arrive on the scene in two metallic hover cars, red
and blue diode lights flashing in the background.
The police enter the building. The office is a mess, papers
strewn about and stationary lying on the floor. ALMA is still
sitting in her chair, and SUSAN is cowering behind the
mahogany table. SUSAN points her finger at ALMA.
27.

ALMA
Hi!
POLICE OFFICER # 1
Whoa there!
Having difficulty associating a threat with a child, the
police officer does not immediately restrain her.
POLICE OFFICER # 2
What happened?
SUSAN
She attacked me!
POLICE OFFICER # 2
How?
SUSAN
I don’t know! She threw everything
at me.
EXT. DRISCOLL COUNSELING SERVICES - LATER
One police car speeds away while ALMA is escorted to another.
CLOSE UP - ALMA is walked to a car and shown inside, and
looks back through the side window as the car travels slowly
into the distance.
FADE TO:
INT. BLACK MESA LAB - PRIOR TO THE FLASHBACK
ALMA, now the D/GENERATION, is shown unconscious clamped to a
vertical metal plate.
INT. A.U. MILITARY BASE - AFTERNOON
Several military officers sit around a command center.
Commander Valerian sits at the helm, in a idle, decadent
pose. A dispatch light is enabled.
OFFICER # 1
Sir, we have an incoming
transmission.
VALERIAN
On screen.
The main screen shows a transmission from DERRIDA.
28.

DERRIDA
If you are getting this, we are in
grave danger. GENOVA BIOTECH, the
company that is responsible for
many of the weapons you already
use, has now captured me. They plan
on unleashing a new weapon into the
world called the D/GENERATION, and
I am under duress to help complete
it. Once complete, it could be one
of the most devastating terror
weapons the world has ever seen.
OFFICER # 1
What?!
Everyone in the room looks at the screen in confusion and
bewilderment.
The screen then depicts several schematics to demonstrate the
progress on the D/GENERATION. Finally, the screen fades to a
video capture of the D/GENERATION itself, mutated and bloody.
The transmission ends.
VALERIAN
Get Jim on the phone.
OFFICER # 1 briefly looks at the COMMANDER in silence.
VALERIAN (CONT’D)
(yelling)
Now!
INT. LAB - MOMENTS LATER
KOSHI sits on his chair looking at several different fuse
reactors for the new prototype while slowly sipping an iced
tea and eating papayas from a bowl.
NU
The prototype is ready.
KOSHI gets out of his seat and walks out of the lab and looks
into the sunset. In the distance, a red moon can be seen.
INT. A.U. MILITARY BASE MAIN OFFICE - MOMENTS LATER
VALERIAN, at his desk, is on the phone with JIM RAYNOR, a
contractor he’s worked with in the past that specializes in
covert operations, detective work, and black ops intel
gathering.
29.

VALERIAN
We got a problem here, Jim.
JIM RAYNOR
Yeah? What are we talking about?
VALERIAN
A terror threat. Reported from a
respected man out of MIT, who was
taken prisoner not too long ago.
JIM RAYNOR
Who from MIT?
VALERIAN
Derrida, the bioscientist. Worked
for us for some --
JIM RAYNOR
Yeah, I’ve heard. What’s the
target?
VALERIAN
Possibly everything. Possibly the
next war. I need information. I
need to know how to proceed on
this. In a message he sent to us,
he mentioned Genova Biotech is
behind it, likely and a man named
Hirsch is likely at the helm of
that group.
JIM RAYNOR
(after a brief silence)
Yeah.. well you need to contact the
people that worked for the group.
They had private investment too,
out of government subsidies, didn’t
they?
VALERIAN
Yeah. And I want zip lock mouths on
this until the threat is
neutralized. We don’t want a
widespread panic or rioting in the
public.
There is a brief silence.
JIM RAYNOR
Give me a minute.
VALERIAN
All--
30.

JIM RAYNOR hangs up on VALERIAN and looks through a database
file containing a list of names linked to Genova Biotech, and
finds a list of investors in an old spreadsheet file. At the
top of the list, he sees the name JACOB HARGREAVE.
Looking through a search engine he learns that JACOB
HARGREAVE is a wealthy private investor who is himself a
successful entrepreneur in bioresearch.
JIM RAYNOR
Suspicious?
JIM RAYNOR dials JACOB HARGREAVE’S listed home phone number.
JACOB HARGREAVE
Hello?
JIM RAYNOR
Hello Mr. Hargreave, this is Jim
Raynor, private investigator. May I
have a moment of your time?
JACOB HARGREAVE
(quizzical)
Sure, I’m not busy. May I ask what
this is about?
JIM RAYNOR
Have you ever invested in the
company Genova Biotech before?
JACOB HARGREAVE
Yes. Years ago, Private research
fund. Going places, they had a good
stage 2 bioresearch team developing
a vaccine for tuberculosis. TB was
a tough one, and they never
finished it, but they made great
strides. Why?
JACOB HARGREAVE’S tone immediately allayed JIM RAYNOR’S fears
about him, and JIM began to trust him immediately.
JIM RAYNOR
All right look. There’s been some
kind of insurgency or plot in the
company. They’ve gone rogue. They
are currently developing or have
already deployed a functioning
biological weapon which apparently
has some kind of sentient power.
This is it.
31.

JACOB HARGREAVE
What?!
JIM RAYNOR
I’m telling you, it’s as bad as
you’re thinking.
JACOB HARGREAVE is briefly silent.
JIM RAYNOR
Can you give me something to go on
here? I don’t have to say this, but
we may be able to make this worth
your while if you help us. I
received a call from VALERIAN,
heads the A.U. military branch.
JACOB HARGREAVE
Yeah. I believe we’ve met once long
ago in a soiree being held
somewhere in Los Angeles. A good
man.
JIM RAYNOR
What can you do?
JACOB HARGREAVE
I know someone who used to work for
Genova Biotech, and if what you are
saying has happened already, she
must have out of her own morality
left her post. Let me call her, her
name is BIGIEU. You’ll hear back
soon.
JIM RAYNOR
Thanks.
INT. JACOB HARGREAVE’S OFFICE - MOMENTS LATER
JACOB HARGREAVE hurriedly dials BIGIEU’S number, hoping for a
response.
BIGIEU is asleep, still resting from the escape. In hiding,
she is in a rented hotel going under a different alias. She
hears her cell phone ring. Wearily opening her eyes and
getting up, she walks towards the phone.
BIGIEU
(wearily, concealed voice)
Who is this?
32.

JACOB HARGREAVE
May I speak to Bigieu please? Is
this her?
BIGIEU
Jacob?
JACOB HARGREAVE
Yes. What happened? Did you hear
about Genova’s plan yet?
BIGIEU
I suspected it and they captured
me, I managed to escape and I’m in
hiding now.
JACOB HARGREAVE
Oh my word, child. I hope you’re
all right.
BIGIEU
I’m hanging in.
JACOB HARGREAVE
It’s worse.
BIGIEU
How? What are you talking about?
BIGIEU looks down at her leg, noticing a long wound on her
thigh that she had previously not seen because of the fur.
BIGIEU hisses.
JACOB HARGREAVE
What was that?
BIGIEU
Nothing.
JACOB HARGREAVE
Their terror threat.. it’s likely
functional. We’re all in danger.
BIGIEU
What?! They were not ready for
deployment. It was too unstable..
JACOB HARGREAVE
I got a call from a private
contractor who works for the A.U...
It has begun.
33.

BIGIEU
I know someone. I think he may be
able to help. Give me their number
and I will talk to you soon okay?
JACOB HARGREAVE
Hang in there child. You’ll be
doing us all a favor.
INT. BLACK MESA CORPORATE OFFICE - EVENING
Darkness shrouds the office of the GENOVA BIOTECH DIRECTOR.
They’ve been informed.
HIRSCH
Yes.
Who?
HIRSCH momentarily pauses.
HIRSCH
It can’t have been one of ours. I
would say--
The GENOVA BIOTECH DIRECTOR slowly looks up at HIRSCH, his
eyes glowing a dull red. His hand on the table, several
objects around on the table begin to slowly levitate.
(impatiently)
Who?
HIRSCH
BIGIEU. It was BIGIEU.
The GENOVA BIOTECH DIRECTOR releases the objects and turns
away facing the opposing window.
Where is she?
HIRSCH
She used one of our patrol cars and
dumped it once she reached the
planet. She must be at the American
Union base or hiding out.
I want her found.
34.

HIRSCH
Understood.
INT. LAB - LATER
KOSHI positions himself to run straight at the wall and
begins to run, bounding upwards and performing a repeated
wall jump until he reaches a higher ledge. Using a sleight of
hand technique, KOSHI fires several charged bolts from the
armature turret, aimed at several targets on the ground,
hitting them all with precision. KOSHI lands on ground with
one knee hitting the ground / one hand poised dramatically.
NU
It appears as though --
KOSHI
Yes. The suit’s targeting system is
functional. I get it.
KOSHI stands up and walks towards the computer desk,
performing a few more tests, while NU continues working on
analyzing the suit’s integrity and propulsion systems by
looking at several graph displays on a terminal screen.
The phone rings momentarily at the desk. Seeing BIGIEU’S id,
KOSHI has a puzzled look on his face. KOSHI picks up the
phone.
KOSHI (CONT’D)
Look.. I’m --
BIGIEU
Yeah drop it I know you’re seeing
someone.
KOSHI looks at BIGIEU in silence.
BIGIEU
This is a long story, but we are in
a terrible plight. All of us.
Listen to me.
KOSHI
(concerned)
Are you all right? What happened?
BIGIEU
They got me too. I just hightailed
it --
KOSHI
Genova.
35.

BIGIEU
Yes.
Suddenly, KOSHI begins to grow angry. His intuition guides
him to assume what could have happened.
KOSHI
What did they do to you?
BIGIEU
They tried to keep me from talking.
And now they’ve prepped a bio-
weapon that can wipe us all out.
You must help us. You’re our only
hope. I’ve seen that bio-suit
schematic. You surely must help us.
KOSHI
What’s the target?
BIGIEU
It’s called the D/GENERATION. It’s
apparently been activated, and can
unleash havoc on the city, or
worse.
KOSHI looks down and looks out at the window in hope.
KOSHI
Yes, we shall prevail.
INT. BLACK MESA LAB - THE NEXT DAY
The test chamber dark, the D/GENERATION gradually awakens and
looks straight ahead, into the glass encasement. In a sudden
burst of rage, she begins to raise several objects outside
the chamber gradually, hurling them at the wall. A red siren
goes off.
Several scientists run into the bulkhead adjacent to the test
chamber to look on at what’s happening.
SCIENTIST # 1
Sedate the subject! Now! Before it
goes critical.
SCIENTIST # 2
Right away.
SCIENTIST # 2 begins to tap controls into a panel to release
a sedative gas into the chamber, while suddenly the metal on
the door adjacent to the bulkhead begins to curl inwards.
36.

Several metal plates underneath the SCIENTISTS bends upwards
and causes them to fall, suffering a minor fracture.
SCIENTIST # 3
Arrgh!
SCIENTIST # 1
Move back!
SCIENTISTS # 2 grabs SCIENTIST # 3 and pulls him back into
safety in the adjacent door, and out of the room. SCIENTIST #
1 looks on into the camera view of the test chamber, seeing
that the D/GENERATION is finally sedated, but still unstable.
We have work to do.
EXT. DESERT - LATER
KOSHI, with the suit fully operational and charged, performs
several maneuvers across ledges and using the natural terrain
of the desert. The colors of the sky reflect vibrantly from
the suit’s hull. NU looks on.
NU
The suit is optimally functional.
KOSHI
You think?
KOSHI spin jumps from a small rock plateau onto the ground
next to NU.
KOSHI (CONT’D)
You must be right. As usual. Time
to take this fight to their
doorstep.
INT. LAB - EVENING
At his desk, KOSHI studies some schematics while continuing
to review the prototype arm. An incoming phone call
distracts.
KOSHI
Hello?
BIGIEU
You’re supposed to be halfway
around the world right now.
37.

KOSHI
Why’re you tryin’ to hustle me
outta here?
BIGIEU scoffs.
KOSHI (CONT’D)
Is the government involved?
BIGIEU
You’ll find out soon enough.
KOSHI
All right. You’re driving. And stop
haranguing me about this stuff.
Several minutes later, BIGIEU arrives in a new hovercar,
beckoning to KOSHI to come in. Bringing NU, they depart into
the streetway and make a turn, out of sight.
EXT. A.U. MILITARY BASE ENTRANCE - LATER
Arriving in the hovercar, BIGIEU arrives at a checkpoint and
sees a guard on duty.
BIGIEU
It’s Bigieu and Koshi along with
our research partner Nu. We’re here
to talk to Valerian.
GUARD
Yes ma’am. We’ll open it up.
A huge, lofty vaulted door opens, and BIGIEU waves at the
guard in acknowledgement. They descend down into an
underground structure.
CUT TO:
INT. A.U. MILITARY BASE - MOMENTS LATER
BIGIEU walks up a long hallway alongside KOSHI. NU follows
behind, carefully studying the surroundings.
KOSHI
Whatever happens in the next 20
minutes, just go with it.
BIGIEU
Go with what?
38.

KOSHI
Like that.
A hydraulic vertical door opens and VALERIAN and JACOB
HARGREAVE stand at the entrance to a conference room,
smiling.
VALERIAN
Hello, everyone. Glad you could
make it.
KOSHI
I’m not a joiner but I’ll consider
secretary of defense if you ask
nice. We can amend the hours a bit.
All laugh.
VALERIAN
So Bigieu says your all right?
BIGIEU
He is.
KOSHI
Am I?
KOSHI prepares the suit for a brief momentary fly through and
begins surveying the room.
KOSHI (CONT’D)
Looks like you guys could upgrade
the alloys you use for building
materials. Seems dated.
VALERIAN
(scoffs)
Koshi, we need you to help us. You
know the target.
KOSHI
The target is something we haven’t
seen yet. How do we know it’s even
operational and how are we going to
take it down?
VALERIAN
Join us at the table? Let’s talk
about it.
KOSHI flies around momentarily, continuing to study the
window. KOSHI lands next to a chair adjacent to the
conference table and takes a seat.
39.

KOSHI
Boy, I’m good.
VALERIAN
As you’ve seen, this is Koshi
everyone.
All applaud.
VALERIAN (CONT’D)
We also have Jim Raynor, one of our
contractors. Beside him is Jacob
Hargreave, an ex-financier of
Genova Biotech, now on the good
side. In our joining party, we also
have Bigieu and Nu. Both are out of
Genova as well, and can provide us
with additional intel as we see
fit.
KOSHI looks at his team and then back at the table. On a
monitor placed on the wall, a video appears showing a
schematic of the Genova Biotech base, as well as a map
describing the route there. On an adjacent monitor, several
portraits appear.
VALERIAN (CONT’D)
Here is what we know. The operating
locus, and the people. This man,
HIRSCH, is at the top echelon of
the group. He is believed to be one
of the chief executive officers of
the company as of now, although we
can’t be sure because public
records went dark after the company
went rogue.
The screens change to showing a rendering of the
D/GENERATION, along with key attributes on the right screen.
VALERIAN (CONT’D)
Here it is, people. This is it, at
any cost. If it is not eliminated,
we--
KOSHI
Kaboom. A lot of fallout and no
room for a treaty.
VALERIAN
Exactly. It’s doomsday, and on a
large scale.
40.
(MORE)

We’re talking permanent chaos,
clones that can be spawned at will,
regenerative capabilities. No one
is safe, not our families, nor the
cars parked underground 5 levels.
KOSHI
What are the points of weakness?
VALERIAN
Since we have so little intel on
this thing, we don’t know yet. All
we know is that from all of the
assets we have, you’re really the
only military opportunity to take
this thing down.
KOSHI
I don’t want to be a martyr.
VALERIAN
You won’t be. We will plan this
thing through. We have to be
vigilant.
KOSHI notices his cell phone flashing on the table, and picks
it up looking at a text from home.
GIRL
(text messaging)
What the fuck is going on over
there?
KOSHI
(text messaging)
I’m causing a row at the A.U., be
there in 20.
KOSHI uses the suits propulsion to throttle towards a window,
open it, and fly out. All watch in awe.
BIGIEU
He’s all right.
JIM RAYNOR
You think?
VALERIAN
If he’s not, we’re in for it. We
will, the lot of us, burn. Would
someone brief him?
VALERIAN picks up a dossier with information on the mission
to attack Black Mesa, tentatively looking at BIGIEU.
41.
VALERIAN (CONT'D)

BIGIEU
(sighing)
Yeah.
INT. KOSHI’S HOUSE - THE NEXT DAY
KOSHI sits on a sofa overlooking the balcony, staring through
the window. An incoming call arrives.
SUPERIMPOSE TEXT FADE IN: INTERVAL 04, THE L.Z. IS HOT
BIGIEU
You don’t have to do this alone.
You can drop the lone gunslinger
act.
KOSHI
You know I wish I could believe
that. I really do. But you gotta
trust me. Contrary to popular
belief I know exactly what I’m
doin’. What do you people want from
me anyway?
BIGIEU
Just e-mailed you a brief. Read the
whole thing.. no skimming.
KOSHI
I don’t do well at reading so I’ll
just have NU recite it.
BIGIEU
What are you..
KOSHI
Yeah.. I have a peeve. Ever since I
was I kid I hated reading anything
unless it was a technical manual.
BIGIEU
Just.. be careful. All right?
KOSHI scoffs softly and hangs up, putting the phone back on
the table.
INT. BLACK MESA LAB - AFTERNOON
Now under heavy guard, the D/GENERATION remains under
restraint in the test chamber. Looking on, HIRSCH studies the
figure of the D/GENERATION.
42.

HIRSCH
Yes, it is powerful.
HIRSCH briefly looks at one of the scientists.
HIRSCH (CONT’D)
You know we were all let down about
the loss.
SCIENTIST # 1
Was a good man.
DERRIDA, still at gunpoint, looks on in dismay.
HIRSCH
So make it count, gentlemen.
SCIENTIST # 2
Now, the subject is stable. From
what we can tell.
SCIENTIST # 1
Release the prototype droid.
SCIENTIST # 2
Acknowledged.
A small droid flies in from a small opening in the wall of
the test chamber. Almost immediately the moving object
catches the glance of the D/GENERATION. The D/GENERATION
raises its arm and lobs a charged bolt of lighting at the
droid. It flies to the floor, destroyed, before finally
exploding.
DERRIDA, sitting at a console nearby, looks up at the test
chamber in dismay, still vehemently against the progress
being made. DERRIDA looks on at HIRSCH, deeply concerned at
the outcome.
HIRSCH continues admiring the test chamber, pleased.
HIRSCH
Yes, yes. It recognizes a threat,
and does not attack unprovoked.
EXT. DESERT - LATER
Adjacent to KOSHI’S lab, the group are in the middle of a
small desert training station, surrounded by a barbed fence.
KOSHI
Ok guys, just.. Do what you need
to. And be quiet about it.
43.

MIKE THE COWBOY
This thing is not firing.
MIKE THE COWBOY attempts to fire a laser weapon, but the
safety is still on.
BIGIEU
It has dual safeties.
KOSHI
I don’t mean to clip your wings
here but you gotta use the sleight
of hand technique.
KOSHI quickly reloads an AK-47 and fires the entire magazine,
and drops it and does the same with a uranium core laser
weapon.
KOSHI (CONT’D)
Depleted core, depleted magazine.
Same thing.
MIKE THE COWBOY
Yes but the reticle?
BIGIEU points to the reticle’s targeting sight enabling
button and turns it on.
BIGIEU
Here.
KOSHI
Mike, could you please not do
something awful for 5 seconds?
MIKE THE COWBOY laughs and fires at several distant trees,
hitting them all with the weapon.
KOSHI (CONT’D)
Better. But now you’re out of ammo.
KOSHI tosses another uranium core magazine to MIKE THE COWBOY
who reloads and fires again.
WIDE SHOT - THE ENTIRE SCENE
KOSHI fires at two distant targets and this them both,
quickly reloading with a sleight of hand technique.
TIME CUT:
BIGIEU fires a series of mines in the air that fall to the
ground and run towards a laser painted target, detonating.
44.

ANGLE ON - HORIZON
The team continues training. The skies darken and a
smattering of city lights turn on as the evening approaches.
EXT. BLACK MESA LAB - EVENING
Several cloaked drones patrol a lush, remote jungle region.
Heavy canopy cover fills the skies, and rays of sun travel
through to the cloaked entrance of Black Mesa.
The D/GENERATION walks along a long, reinforced corridor. At
the other end is a door, which opens, revealing a scientist
with heavy armor. Upon seeing the scientist, the D/GENERATION
initially raises defense.
The D/GENERATION lets out a raspy snarl at the scientist,
before remaining idle. HIRSCH and another scientist
monitoring from another test chamber discuss their findings.
HIRSCH
She’s ready.
SCIENTIST # 1
Yes. Temperance at the sight of one
of ours.
HIRSCH
Release a few of the drones.
Some test drones, bearing enemy designations, are released
into the corridor. The D/GENERATION immediately assumes
offensive positioning and fires electrical arcs at one of the
drones. The scientist uses a depleted uranium laser rifle to
take down another drone. The final drone fires at the
D/GENERATION, briefly stunned. The D/GENERATION raises its
arm and psycho-kinetically draws the drone nearer, before
crushing it in mid-air as it falls to the ground.
The scientist exists the corridor, receding behind the
armored door after it closes, breathing heavily, terrified.
HIRSCH (CONT’D)
The odds are in our favor. But
every rose has it’s thorn. Let’s
try to keep this one short trimmed.
SCIENTIST # 1
Yes sir.
45.

DERRIDA, at the console, stares abysmally into the test
chamber.
HIRSCH
Derrida, come here. I want to talk
to you, son.
DERRIDA walks up to HIRSCH, a guard carefully tracking him
from a nearby ledge.
HIRSCH
You did really good, son.
HIRSCH pats DERRIDA on the shoulder. DERRIDA looks at
HIRSCH’S hand, and back at HIRSCH, expressionless.
DERRIDA
Yeah. I don’t have a whole lot to
say.
HIRSCH
The worst is over. We may just get
out of this yet.
HIRSCH walks out of the room. DERRIDA looks back at the test
chamber, hopelessly looking on at the controlled destructive
power of the D/GENERATION.
KOSHI sits on the sofa, exhausted. The GIRL is sleeping on a
table outside on the balcony, covered in a green Miley Cyrus
blanket. An incoming call arrives, and the girl perks her
head up, in a daze.
GIRL
Oh, that’s not me.
KOSHI
You really need to change your
incoming call tone to be different
from mine. Seriously.
KOSHI picks up the phone.
KOSHI
Hello?
VALERIAN
Hey there, it’s me.
KOSHI
And who might that be?
46.

VALERIAN
Valerian, from the A.U.
KOSHI
You have a really memorable voice I
totally remember you now.
VALERIAN
All right, all right. Listen, we’re
going to fly you in with your team
to the Black Mesa outskirts. It’s
located in the Caquetá region of
Colombia, northwest of Brazil.
Triangulated that locus from both
DERRIDA’S transmission as well as
intel from BIGIEU. Neither knew the
original location themselves but
had tracking devices miles from the
target.
KOSHI
You guys did your homework.
VALERIAN
Look, are you going to go along
with this thing or not?
KOSHI
I just don’t want to see any of my
people get hurt. I can go as far as
taking that thing down, but as soon
as the target is incapacitated I'm
outta there. What are the targets?
VALERIAN
The D/GENERATION, HIRSCH and any
high level officers in the lab.
There are rumors there is a a
DIRECTOR OF GENOVA BIOTECH as well,
but we have no further intel on
him.
KOSHI
Got it.
VALERAIN
That’s all we need. We’re counting
on you, son.
KOSHI
It’s gonna be fun. Relax about it.
And don’t call me son, it doesn’t
make sense.
47.

Hanging up, the GIRL eyes KOSHI suspiciously.
GIRL
What do they want?
KOSHI
They want me to go kill some bad
guys.
GIRL
Oh my god!
The GIRL runs towards KOSHI and hugs him. KOSHI looks at the
GIRL.
KOSHI
I love Miley Cyrus.
GIRL
Do you love me?
KOSHI
(looking at the blanket)
Yeah.
GIRL
You love me?
KOSHI
Yep.
Staring at the blanket, KOSHI is lulled into a comfortable
sleep.
INT. A.U. MILITARY BASE - MORNING
At the main conference room, JIM RAYNOR, VALERIAN, and JACOB
HARGREAVE all sit looking at the communications terminal. A
green light signals on the left side of the display.
KOSHI
I’m here.
All leave the conference room.
EXT. A.U. MILITARY HANGAR - MOMENTS LATER
KOSHI, BIGIEU, and MIKE THE COWBOY raise their hands in
greeting to VALERIAN, JIM RAYNOR, JACOB HARGREAVE, and a few
munitions / transport agents.
48.

KOSHI
Trip was good.
VALERIAN
Yeah. I know you’re not a morning
person.
KOSHI
Never have been. That’s why I look
so glazed over. Been training
though.
MIKE THE COWBOY re-checks the safety on his laser rifle and
studies the barrel before looking back at the party.
VALERIAN
Ok. We’re here to make sure this
goes to plan. And unless I’m very
mistaken, we will go down in
history as the first and only
paramilitary group to ever
neutralize a terror threat, at
least for some time. You aren’t
formally trained by any A.U.
organization and yet you are our
best, our only hope at this
juncture.
KOSHI
What’s the expected presence at the
L.Z.?
VALERIAN
Maybe a dozen or so. It’s cloaked,
so you’ll need to use infrared
goggles to detect them. We have the
element of surprise, but within a
few minutes, they’ll be on full
alert. So we have to move quickly.
We’ll be guiding you from our HQ
here, but once you’re inside, our
communication channel will be cut
because of the shielding on the
metal walls of the base, so you’re
on your own. We can get you there,
but we can’t walk you through. Good
luck.
KOSHI
Yeah.
BIGIEU
Thank you.
49.

EXT. BLACK MESA LAB - AFTERNOON
The lush jungle surrounds the horizon. After reaching the
target coordinates, the team rappels down from a stealth
helicopter to the ground, about 500 meters from the entry
point.
Immediately sensing danger, BIGIEU transforms into her feline
self.
All of the members of the team put on their infrared goggles.
KOSHI
We have about 3 drones, all
cloaked. Looks unmanned.
BIGIEU
I’ll scout ahead.
KOSHI nods, and BIGIEU walks quietly ahead, using infrared
binoculars to scan the distance.
Suddenly, two drones appear behind KOSHI, coming out of tree
cover and de-cloaking. MIKE THE COWBOY suddenly notices the
decloaking. KOSHI looks at MIKE THE COWBOY and his sudden
reaction.
KOSHI
What do we got?!
MIKE THE COWBOY aims the laser rifle at the drones. KOSHI
quickly ducks his head. MIKE THE COWBOY fires the rifle, and
the drones go careening off to the side. One hits the ground,
exploding on contact, and another hits a tree and sustains an
electrical explosion before landing on the ground and
crashing in a larger fiery blast.
KOSHI looks up at MIKE THE COWBOY, surprised.
MIKE THE COWBOY
You’re welcome.
KOSHI regains composure and walks forward slowly, leading
behind BIGIEU.
BIGIEU
Wait.
The team pauses behind a dead wooden log in front of the base
entrance.
50.

BIGIEU (CONT’D)
We need to disable all the armored
defenses, and take out the mobile
drones. Best bet is to use emp
rockets for the defenses, and use
heat seeking emp rockets on the
drones to guarantee a hit. If we
can take them all out in under 30
seconds, they wont have time to
react. I have the normal EMP
missiles.
KOSHI
And I, the heat seeking. On my
count.. 3.. 2.. 1.
BIGIEU and KOSHI simultaneously fire their rocket packs.
Several rockets fly towards the defensive turrets. The turret
manages to lock on to one of the missiles and it explodes on
impact. The other makes a direct hit. The heat seeking
missiles target towards the drone and manage to make a hit.
The drone goes careening to the ground in a fiery explosion.
BIGIEU
One down.
BIGIEU fires another missile and it manages to eviscerate the
remaining turret. KOSHI aims and fires another heat seeking
missile at the remaining drone, now scanning the destroyed
drone. It faces towards the missile and begins firing a semi-
automatic pulse rounds at the missile, but misses. The
remaining drone is hit by the missile, and destroyed
instantly.
INT. BLACK MESA CORPORATE OFFICE - MOMENTS LATER
HIRSCH runs up to the door of the office and knocks loudly.
Come in.
The door opens and HIRSCH is out of breath from running to
get there.
HIRSCH
We have a breach. Entry point.
Good. Is the D/GENERATION defensive
protocol in effect? It was plotted?
HIRSCH
Yes.
51.

Let’s let them duke it out. Get
DERRIDA in here, now.
The D/GENERATION, aware of the threat, spawns several
A/Generations instantly at the entrance.
EXT. BLACK MESA LAB - MOMENTS LATER
BIGIEU looks around in the distance, sensing danger.
BIGIEU
What the hell?
KOSHI
Take them out!
All fire at the A/Generation creatures until they are taken
down. BIGIEU cautiously treads towards the entrance, looking
around for targets.
BIGIEU
Clear.
All move towards the entrance and make their way in.
BIGIEU (CONT’D)
They are probably on alert by now,
we need to be careful.
KOSHI
You’re still a cat.
BIGIEU
Yeah, the adrenaline.
They walk down a long corridor into a larger, vaulted
hallway. Suddenly, the D/GENERATION appears and knocks BIGIEU
unconscious.
BIGIEU (CONT’D)
Argh!
KOSHI
I got him, get back Mike!
MIKE THE COWBOY looks at KOSHI.
KOSHI (CONT’D)
Get back!
52.

MIKE THE COWBOY quickly recedes back into the corridor near
the hallway.
KOSHI aims the particle accelerator at the D/GENERATION,
firing several pulses. Unharmed, the D/GENERATION fires an
electrical arc at KOSHI and cloaks. KOSHI spin jumps out of
the way of the arc before impact, landing next to BIGIEU. The
D/GENERATION re-appears and fires a bolt of chain lightning
at BIGIEU. KOSHI uses the particle accelerator to bounce some
of the lightning away from BIGIEU, but is hit with the
remaining energy. KOSHI falls backwards.
KOSHI (CONT’D)
Ahh!
KOSHI, on his back, looks up as the D/GENERATION approaches
slowly.
MIKE THE COWBOY
Koshi!
The D/GENERATION and KOSHI both look at MIKE THE COWBOY from
the corridor. MIKE THE COWBOY tosses the core of his laser
rifle towards the center of the room, and KOSHI uses the
particle accelerator to propel it towards the D/GENERATION.
The D/GENERATION attempts to cloak but is hit before fully
cloaked. The D/GENERATION is momentarily pushed backwards.
D/GENERATION
Urrgh!
Several arcs of light coalesce in front of the D/GENERATION
before a single orb of light flies towards KOSHI. The
D/GENERATION stands up and begins to run from the hallway,
cloaks and is no longer seen. MIKE THE COWBOY walks in from
the corridor to join the party.
KOSHI
What the. This isn’t the first time
I’ve seen this.
The orb enters into the biosuit. An electrical pulse emanates
from the turret arm, pulling KOSHI towards the far wall.
KOSHI (CONT’D)
What?
The beam dissipates.
KOSHI (CONT’D)
A grappling beam?
53.

KOSHI aims the turret arm towards a ledge in the hallway and
fires another round of the grappling beam, almost
intuitively.
KOSHI (CONT’D)
Yep. A grappling beam. Nice.
BIGIEU
That thing’s still alive.
KOSHI
Yeah. So let’s find it. You’ve used
these terminals before right? Try
to get to a map of the complex.
BIGIEU
Unless they changed the code I
used, I can still get in. But we
have no way of knowing which way it
went, the map wont track it.
KOSHI
Maybe we won’t have to. If we can
get to the HQ, it will attack out
of self-preservation and trained
instinct. Right?
BIGIEU
I really don’t know.
Suddenly, two B/Generations appear from the corridor. MIKE
THE COWBOY quickly looks in their direction.
MIKE THE COWBOY
We got company!
MIKE THE COWBOY fires a laser pulse at one of the
B/Generations, and it falls to the ground writhing before
coming to a stop.
The remaining B/Generation jumps in the air and prepares to
attack BIGIEU, who jumps up and uses a claw attack to
critically wound the B/Generation. She then uses her tail and
throws it to the ground, crushing it.
The party walks out of the main hallway into the newly opened
door they saw the D/GENERATION flee into. Suddenly, an
inanimate object on the left side transforms into a walking,
zombie-like creature. With a sharp, pincer claw, the creature
lunges at MIKE THE COWBOY.
BIGIEU
Watch out!
54.

BIGIEU’s fast reflexes allow her to block the attack with her
forearm and knock the creature back with a kick. KOSHI
quickly fires a cryo-grenade, freezing the creature and
causing it to shatter.
KOSHI
We gotta make sure these things
don’t re-animate. For any
masquerading targets use cryo
ammunition. Freezes ‘em.
The party walks across a weapon storage room entrance.
KOSHI (CONT’D)
There’s gotta be stuff we can use
in there. Help me get this door
open.
BIGIEU
I have door breach packs, stand
back.
BIGIEU plants door breach incendiaries on the door and the
team moves back behind a far wall, and detonates the door,
causing the door to fall backwards.
BIGIEU (CONT’D)
Okay. Easy enough.
KOSHI
Wait. Let me go in alone, don’t
want to get you guys infected with
anything in there. My suit can
handle it.
KOSHI walks in and sees several different canisters,
experimental in nature. In the canisters are living
organisms, likely the result of experimentation.
KOSHI (CONT’D)
(jokingly)
If I can get a couple boxes of this
stuff I’ll be right as rain.
As KOSHI walks towards the canisters, small beams of light
attach to KOSHI’S suit and eventually absorb.
KOSHI (CONT’D)
Argh!
Feeling a sudden weakness, KOSHI falls backwards and
collapses in the center of the storage room.
55.

BIGIEU
Koshi!
BIGIEU and MIKE THE COWBOY run in the room and drag KOSHI
back into the main hall.
MIKE THE COWBOY
Maybe he just needs recover.
BIGIEU
Let’s wait here for him. We need
him in case we run into the
D/GENERATION again.
MIKE THE COWBOY
Got it.
In the distance from the corridor, the D/GENERATION decloaks
and begins spawning B/Generations which run towards the
party. As soon as the D/GENERATION decloaks, KOSHI gains
awareness. KOSHI sits upright and looks at the oncoming
threat.
KOSHI
Bigieu get up on that ledge and
take Mike with you.
BIGIEU crouches and high-jumps up on a nearby ledge, and puts
down a grate for MIKE THE COWBOY to crawl up on.
KOSHI gets up and fires incendiary grenades at the oncoming
B/Generations. Looking to his left, he sees another canister
with a purple organism, which appears to come in and out of
visibility.
KOSHI (CONT’D)
Damn! I missed that. Didn’t even
see it.
KOSHI runs to the canister and stands near it, and suddenly
begins to phase out of visibility momentarily. As the
grenades explode, KOSHI runs up on the ledge and grabs onto
the grate, joining the party on an adjacent ventilation
shaft. KOSHI shifts briefly from invisibility before becoming
completely visible.
KOSHI (CONT’D)
(whispers)
Tangos down.
BIGIEU
How did you do that?!
56.

KOSHI
There was a sample in the other
room, I absorbed it. But it looks
like it’s temporary, and I don’t
think I can do that again unless we
find another sample. Let’s keep
going, taking down anything else we
find in here.
BIGIEU
Through the vent.
The party proceeds through the ventilation shaft to the
entrance of a science bay. Several scientists are huddled
behind furniture.
SCIENTIST # 1
Please! Don’t shoot!
SCIENTIST # 2
They kept us here. It was them.
KOSHI
Relax. Your company has unleashed a
terror threat that, unless I take
it down, will pose a serious threat
for national security. Do us a
favor and do what we say, and
you’ll all go home in one piece.
Understood?
The scientists nod in affirmation.
SCIENTIST # 1
Okay, here is a schematic map to
the entire lab. You’ll need to use
this tunnel here to get to the
D/GENERATION.
KOSHI
How do you know it’s in there?
BIGIEU
He doesn’t.
BIGIEU pushes the scientists face on the control panel with
her paw aggressively.
BIGIEU (CONT’D)
Talk!
SCIENTIST # 1
Argh! All right!
57.

BIGIEU releases the scientist.
Here.
SCIENTIST # 1 gets a keycard and hands it to BIGIEU.
BIGIEU
What the hell is this?
SCIENTIST # 1
You’ll need that to access the
restricted areas.
BIGIEU
Just cough up the maps. Hurry it
up.
KOSHI looks around and hears something in the distance.
BIGIEU looks around, in a similar manner.
KOSHI
We got company. Hide behind the
control panel unless you wanna get
yourselves killed.
The scientists horde behind a control panel while several
armed guards appear.
BIGIEU
These must be the security team in
the lab. What took you guys so
long?
KOSHI
They were probably evading the
spawns. Come get it you limp-dick
fuckups!
BIGIEU laughs and pounces on a nearby wall throwing a spider
grenade at the opposing force. The grenade runs towards one
of the soldiers and explodes, knocking him backwards to his
death.
One of the soldiers tosses a fragmentation grenade at the
center of the room in front of the party
SOLDIER # 1
Clear!
As the grenade flies towards the ground, BIGIEU bats it back
to the same soldier with her tail, and it explodes, leaving
behind a gnarled husk.
58.

KOSHI
Nice one.
The scientists walk up from the control panel and go to a
storage bin full of schematics and maps, handing them to
BIGIEU.
SCIENTIST # 1
Here! Take it! What good is this to
us now?
KOSHI
It’s not. Now be quiet about it.
Unless you want to get eaten.
SCIENTIST # 1
What makes you think I’ll get
eaten?
KOSHI stares at SCIENTIST # 1 briefly.
The party walks out of the science bay.
BIGIEU
The D/GENERATION was kept in the
testing chamber. That’s all I know
about where it was before they got
me.
KOSHI
Ok that’s where we’re headed.
VALERIAN told me about two other
guys, HIRSCH and the DIRECTOR OF
GENOVA BIOTECH.
BIGIEU
(flashing upon a recall)
Yeah! Of course. We have to tie up
those loose ends. I have an attack
droid here, if we set it to follow
the map schematic it will find and
tranquilize the targets. We can
probably bet DERRIDA is in the same
room as the others. They wouldn’t
abandon their prize so easily.
KOSHI
Do it.
BIGIEU reaches back into her pocket and takes out a armed
sentry droid, removing the sentry prongs and attaching a
small jet attachment to the reverse of the unit, configuring
it to be an ATTACK DROID.
59.

She programs the map configuration to the BLACK MESA
CORPORATE OFFICE into the ATTACK DROID transport relay and
programs instructions in before turning it on. The ATTACK
DROID slowly levitates into the air and cloaks, a dim red
light barely visible at its forward bow area. The party
watches the ATTACK DROID’S faint light disappear behind a
corner, and begins walking again.
BIGIEU
So how do we know the D/GENERATION
is gonna be there?
KOSHI
We don’t. I really don’t care.
Let’s just go that way.
BIGIEU looks at KOSHI while they walk towards the test
chamber.
KOSHI (CONT’D)
(agitated)
What are you lookin’ at?
BIGIEU
You better be right about this.
KOSHI
Let’s hope.
BIGIEU
Are you in a bad mood?
KOSHI pats BIGIEU on the shoulder and smiles and the party
keeps going.
INT. KOSHI’S HOUSE - EVENING
The GIRL looks through the window in the house, surrounded by
dim lights. The high, vaulted ceiling glisten with faint
sparkles from the moonlight as it shines through the windows
in a dim volumetric fog.
Sighing, she gets up. Walking towards the counter to get
water, she accidentally runs her foot into the cat lying on
the floor.
GIRL
Ahh! Fuck!
The cat suddenly wakes and scampers away.
60.

GIRL (CONT’D)
Fucking bag of shit! See if I feed
you again.
The GIRL pours water for herself and drinks it slowly at the
counter, looking at the cat. The girl walks over to the cat
and pets it.
GIRL (CONT’D)
You little fucker. Fuck, where is
he?!
The cat sleeps in the GIRL’s lap, and the girl rests her head
on the sofa, scanning through her cell phone before letting
it drop to her side and falling asleep.
INT. BLACK MESA LAB - LATER
The ATTACK DROID approaches a locked door marked as the
entrance to the BLACK MESA CORPORATE OFFICE. The ATTACK DROID
jettisons some door breach canisters and they affix to the
entrance. As soon as the door is breached, the ATTACK DROID
flies in and decloaks, targeting HIRSCH and the DIRECTOR OF
GENOVA BIOTECH, firing xenon lasers at them both.
HIRSCH
Argh!
Ah!
Both are killed instantly. Scanning further to the left, the
ATTACK DROID targets DERRIDA, designated as a friendly. The
droid does not fire, and speaks in a automated message.
ATTACK DROID
Please remain here until evac.
Thank you for your cooperation.
DERRIDA, still in shock from the incursion, nods at the
ATTACK DROID in seeming understanding and remains barricaded
behind the table of the GENOVA BIOTECH DIRECTOR.
DERRIDA
Looks like they got the message
after all.
A faint smile glistens on DERRIDA’S face, as he looks out
into the courtyard from the upper levels of the lab.
61.

INT. BLACK MESA LAB - LATER
BIGIEU picks up a transmission on her headset.
BIGIEU
Just got confirmation, HIRSCH and
the director are down. DERRIDA is
secured. KOSHI nods.
The party approaches a large containment door. BIGIEU holds
up the keycard given by the scientist.
BIGIEU
Here.
KOSHI takes the card and allows the door mechanism to read
it. The party walks into the room and sees the D/GENERATION
facing the other way behind a glass containment block, along
with several B/Generation and C/Generation spawns.
KOSHI
Cover the exit!
MIKE THE COWBOY stands near the exit door behind a large
pillar, behind the containment entrance door.
BIGIEU runs into the main chamber. As she runs, the
D/GENERATION turns slowly. Several B/Generations run towards
her as she throws several cloaked grenades on the ground,
detonating them with a switch. The B/Generations fall
backwards and disintegrate.
A remaining spider mine runs towards the D/GENERATION.
D/GENERATION
Urgh!
The D/GENERATION lobs a single arc of lightning at the mine
and it explodes. Suddenly, the D/GENERATION disappears
momentarily and re-appears on the adjacent side of the room.
The D/GENERATION lobs a bolt of chain lightning at BIGIEU.
BIGIEU jumps on the wall nearby and then down again, narrowly
missing the bolt.
The D/GENERATION spawns 3 C/Generations in front of it before
charging KOSHI. KOSHI fires cryo rounds at the C/Generations,
causing them to freeze and fall backwards, shattering on the
ground.
The D/GENERATION reels its arm back and then throws it
forward, hitting KOSHI and causing him to fly backwards.
MIKE THE COWBOY throws a flash grenade at the D/GENERATION,
momentarily blinding it.
62.

KOSHI
Give me a couple boxes of that and
I’ll be right as rain.
KOSHI regains a foothold and fires several plasma rounds at
the D/GENERATION, causing it to slowly stagger backwards.
BIGIEU
Give me the railgun!
MIKE THE COWBOY tosses a railgun to BIGIEU, and throws
several depleted uranium slugs at her one after another.
BIGIEU catches the gun and the first 2 slugs with her hand,
and the remaining slug with her tail.
BIGIEU aims the railgun at the D/GENERATIONS chestplate
firing, momentarily stunning it. KOSHI reels back and goes
forward to fire more plasma rounds at the D/GENERATION before
reeling the right arm back and punching to the left, and
reeling the left arm back and punching to the right two times
in quick succession. The D/GENERATION falls to the ground
with the large thud.
As the D/GENERATION falls, all the remnants of the B and C
Generations disappear.
KOSHI
That was easy.
BIGIEU
(laughing)
For some of us anyway. I--
KOSHI
Look out!
A BLACK MESA GUARD hiding in a nearby ventilation shaft
charges BIGIEU and aims his laser rifle at her, prepared to
fire. KOSHI quickly fires a cryo round at the BLACK MESA
GAURD, causing his arm to freeze.
BLACK MESA GUARD
Ahh!
BIGIEU reels back and primes a kick before unleashing a kick
from the right to left. The right arm of the BLACK MESA GAURD
is severed and flies to the left before shattering on the
ground. BIGIEU throws an upwards kick and punch in quick
succession, causing the BLACK MESA GAURD to fall backwards.
KOSHI
I gotta get home. Now would be
good.
63.

BIGIEU
I like this place more than home.
KOSHI
Well you’re the one who worked here
before, the novelty wore off for me
though. And I think one of those
C/Generations had the sniffles
because I feel like I have strep
throat.
All laugh, as they walk out of the test chamber.
EXT. BLACK MESA LAB - NIGHT
Several large work lights are put up by the A.U. crew near
the entrance of the BLACK MESA LAB. KOSHI, BIGIEU, and MIKE
THE COWBOY all walk out tiredly, before stopping at an open
patch of jungle near the entrance. VALERIAN walks up to them.
VALERIAN studies BIGIEU.
VALERIAN
So you really are a cat.
BIGIEU
Blame it on Genova Biotech.
VALERIAN laughs. VALERIAN looks at KOSHI.
VALERIAN
You did good.
KOSHI
Yeah, thank you. For the, approval
and everything. Really. I need
that.
VALERIAN
And the first thing I’m going to do
now? Inform the press about this.
We’ve won and no one could be
happier.
KOSHI
Won’t they be wondering why you
didn’t tell them the moment you
knew of the threat?
There is a brief silence.
VALERIAN
Let me worry about that.
64.

VALERIAN dials JIM RAYNOR’S number on his cell phone.
VALERIAN
Jim, tell the news sources. We won.
JIM RAYNOR
(excitedly)
You got it!
VALERIAN hangs up the phone.
VALERIAN
Let’s get you healed up, you can
take that medical barge to the
nearest facility.
KOSHI
I just wanna go home actually.
Thanks.
The D/GENERATION is rolled out of the entrance to the BLACK
MESA LAB in a large, shielded containment chamber. Still
unconscious in the chamber, several guards accompany the crew
carrying it out.
BIGIEU
I guess the fate of the
D/GENERATION remains unknown.
Shortly afterwards, the party watches DERRIDA walking out of
the lab.
EXT. KOSHI’S HOUSE - LATER
KOSHI arrives home shortly after midnight. The GIRL is
asleep. KOSHI receives an incoming call.
JACOB HARGREAVE
Congratulations. Great job!
KOSHI
Thanks. How did you get this
number.
JACOB HARGREAVE
How do you think?
KOSHI
Bigieu?
65.

JACOB HARGREAVE
(jokingly)
You did great, everyone is
clamoring about the newly assured
safety. Why don’t you come by.
Let’s talk about it, get a bite to
eat.
KOSHI
Yeah, as long as you watch me eat,
and I pay.
JACOB HARGREAVE
But I’m older than you are. It’s
only--
KOSHI
Drop it.
JACOB HARGREAVE
(laughing)
All right, deal. 525 Bridgewater.
Green walls.
KOSHI
Green doesn’t look good as an
exterior color.
JACOB HARGREAVE
What are you an exterior decorator?
KOSHI
No, she is.
JACOB HARGREAVE laughs and hangs up. KOSHI gets back in his
hovercar and types in 525 Bridgewater into the nav system and
is taken there.
INT. PRESS ROOM - MOMENTS LATER
ARISTIDE is again faced with a panel of the press in the same
room she spoke last, this time with a different demeanor. The
reporters are clamoring, only this time with accusations and
tones of anger.
ARISTIDE
Gentlemen, please. You have to
understand that your investments
are secure with us! Our stock price
fell only a few points, and it will
surely come back up.
66.

From the far doorway, several police officers approach
ARISTIDE and immediately detain her with handcuffs.
POLICE OFFICER # 1
Ma’am, you have the right to remain
silent. Anything you say can and
will be used against you in a court
of law. Do you understand?
ARISTIDE looks at the officer with a blank stare as she is
escorted from the room.
EXT. JACOB HARGREAVE’S HOUSE - LATER
JACOB HARGREAVE
You made it!
KOSHI
Yeah. Really excited to be here.
KOSHI coughs.
JACOB HARGREAVE
Let’s take a little trip to a nice
Italian place I know.
KOSHI
All right, go ahead I’ll follow.
JACOB HARGREAVE gets in his hovercar and KOSHI trails along.
The cars pass several houses, all luxuriously designed in an
upscale neighborhood. Several people are celebrating in their
houses after hearing the news.
WIDE SHOT - HORIZON
The horizon is lit with fireworks and people are clamoring
from their homes and skyrises. As KOSHI and JACOB HARGREAVE
drive past a house, they observe a small child.
PARENT
Calm down! Don’t hurt yourself.
CHILD
I’m Koshi, the savior of the union!
The CHILD’S arms fully extended, he runs through the field of
grass as if he’s soaring like an airplane.
KOSHI laughs while driving.
67.

KOSHI
Guess that kid’s gonna be a pilot.
TIME CUT:
The skies turn to a pale blue as the dawn approaches in the
early morning.
EXT. ITALIAN RESTUARANT - MORNING
KOSHI walks in with JACOB HARGREAVE. When they enter the
restaurant, VALERIAN, JIM RAYNOR, and a few of the A.U. team
await.
ALL
Surprise!
KOSHI
Oh boy.
KOSHI looks excitedly at the crowd and keeps walking to the
table.
JACOB HARGREAVE
You know, there is a possibility of
a recurrence. If all the loose ends
weren’t tied this thing could
spiral out of control.
KOSHI
We did what we could.
KOSHI drifts off into a peaceful sleep, despite all the
fanfare around him. Suddenly, the GIRL appears at the
restaurant and walks towards KOSHI, prodding him. Surprised,
KOSHI looks up
KOSHI
Hey.
GIRL
Where the hell have you been. Get
back home now. We need to talk. And
fast.
KOSHI
(laughing)
Sounds like you’re angry about
something. By the way I might have
the sniffles. One of those damned
spawns infected me.
68.

GIRL
I don’t care get back there right
now.
KOSHI
Ok but you gotta carry me.
KOSHI falls back on the chair, motionless.
The GIRL sighs and grabs KOSHI’s left arm with all her
strength and slowly pulls him away from the table. JACOB
HARGREAVE laughs. The GIRL keeps pulling KOSHI, dragging him
along the floor. Eventually, they reach KOSHI’s hovercar. She
begins to prop him up through the passenger side door.
KOSHI
How did you get here anyway?
GIRL
Taxi.
KOSHI
Ah.
The GIRL finally manages to push KOSHI all the way in the
passenger side door and the car is seen speeding off into the
distance.
KOSHI gradually wakes, slowly walking towards a window. An
incoming call arrives.
BIGIEU
Hey.
KOSHI
Hey there. How’re you holding up?
BIGIEU
I don’t have fur at the moment but
I’m still pretty bruised up. I’m
okay.
KOSHI
Back to your old self. Great. I’m
fucking tired.
BIGIEU
You looked it when you walked out
of the BLACK MESA LAB.
69.

KOSHI
Yup. So what’s up? I’m a little
busy here.
BIGIEU
(laughs)
I bet you are. Well.. I kept the
map schematics we found in the
science bay. Looks like they had
something going on in a secure base
somewhere. Might be off-planet. I
don’t know a lot about it but we
need to be careful there isn’t a
recurrence.
KOSHI
Hargreave used that same word. How
can we know what they have anyways?
BIGIEU
We just gotta get a few eyes up
there and not scare the public with
any unnecessary rumors.
KOSHI
Sounds like a job for probe droids.
BIGIEU
Yeah.
KOSHI
I gotta get some rest. Talk to you.
KOSHI hangs up and looks out the window. A warm, glowing
light shines in rays through the window as he looks up into
the horizon.
INT. KOSHI’S HOUSE - MOMENTS LATER
Gradually dollying away from the house, a warm morning light
is seen glistening through the window towards KOSHI. The GIRL
slowly walks down a long staircase on the upper part of the
frame and stands next to KOSHI looking out of the window.
FADE TO BLACK.
