Re: \"Titans\" -Warriors of Virtue
Please refer back to the original thread for information leading up to the following:
Int. Captain James Daly's Quaters -Day
We continue to watch Captain Daly pace back and forth...in obvious contemplative mode. So much on his mind.
What was that strange unknown probe droid that Lieutenant Henderson destroyed on the surface of Ishnu? Its' origin will be forever a mystery unless we try and retrieve its' remains...
And of course, where are Lieutenant Henderson and her crew members (7 of them total)? Missing in action...Are they still alive?...where is the shuttle? We have lost all contact with them at this point. Things don't look too promising...especially trying to deal with this serious issue from way up here...away from the actual crime scene...Crime scene? Jumping to conclusions are we...
Then:
Over the inhouse intercom system...
Com: "Bridge to Captain"...
Captain: What is it?
Com: "We have something"...
A promising smile of interest, but not too obvious, leads the Captain to the bridge...
Int. Titan Bridge -Day
The Captain enters the bridge...a voice off screen "Captain on the bridge"...
The crew members acknowledge James Daly's presence in their uniform manner, and then continue about their business...
The Captain walks up to the communications specialist, officer L.Downey (mid 20's) to recieve the report...
L.Downey: Sir, we managed to locate the out of commisioned probe droid. I have the specific coordinates relayed to our special unit and have one of our own patrol droids being sent down now...once we reach the location, I will have a visual...and we can assess the situation as best we can from here...
Captain: Good...I want this droid retrieved for further anaylsis...Our patrol droid can give us the information required to launch the retrieval operation...one step at a time officer...continue...
The Captain exits the bridge...
Again "Captain off the bridge"...and the crew continue their work...
We come in close to officer Downey's computer screen and enter it:
Cut to:
Titan patrol droid's eye view as it navigates through the dense forest of the planet Ishnu...

Re: \"Titans\" -Warriors of Virtue
Ext. Ishnu Forest -Day
Even though it is day on the surface of Ishnu, the dense forest has blocked out most of the planets light from its' two small suns...
Dampness is throughout...we hear a snapping branch. Something is approaching. We follow the sounds to reveal, in the moist forest floor, the strange boot treads found at the burial ground site...following the tracks, we catch up to its' maker...
We follow the boots as they trample through the forest. A kind of limp accompanies this thing...we pull back alittle further to reveal a dark hunched figure. Powerful shoulders...Long arms...and then, sharp claw like fingernails protrude from its' leather gloves...A hard black leather type material covers the body...colourful graphic type markings don the coat...
Heavy, laboured breathing can be heard from its' lungs...its' been walking for quite some time...
Finally, something is up ahead...we follow the thing closely behind...still unable to see the face of this creature...closer, closer we get...some type of structure can be seen now...closer we get...it is huge...gargantuan in size...the creature is tiny in porportion to this monument of a structure...carved out of a stone-like material...It is a city...The mysterious city of Ishnu...its' inhabitants even more mysterious!
We pull back to reveal the size of this mysterious city stucture...a civilization far in the dense forest...far from detection or from foreign bombardment of any sorts...
The native trees of Ishnu have the ability to deflect and shield any type of high tech scanners...which is why this city has been completely incognito...
Which is why the Titan Warriors must use a patrol droid to do their intial investigation...followed by a special unit ground crew to take it further...

Re: \"Titans\" -Warriors of Virtue
INT. TITAN - MEDBAY - QUARANTINE LABORATORY
The machinery in a darkened laboratory hums softly.
Dr. Chenei, human, mid-thirties, peers through a microscope of some sort. What she sees there is disturbing. She's dressed in full quarantine gear.
After a moment, she backs away, almost if what she saw was unholy in some way... she leans forward again, makes some notes and is startled half out of her skin by the chirping speaker on the wall.
TECH (on com)
Dr. Chenei?
CHENEI (sighs)
Not now, Jack. I don't want to have to go through decontamination again.
TECH (com)
You have to see this in person.
She doesn't like it, but something in her makes her put down her work, and move out of the frame towards the door.
INT. TITAN - BRIDGE
Downey squints into the viewscreen, but we can't see it. She doesn't look away, but calls out.
DOWNEY
Reg, pick up on this feed.
Reg nods; he's about Downey's age, idealistic - and hot-headed, of course.
EXT. ISHNU FOREST - DROID POV
The droid has found its out-of-commission cousin; or, at least, what's left of it. The ruins are half-buried in Ishnu's dark earth. The framework is twisted around a number of smoking computer chips. It's barely recognizable as a piece of machinery.
DOWNEY (voiceover)
Should normal impact do that?
REG (voiceover)
No. Nor should -
Static. Whiteness.
INT. TITAN BRIDGE - CLOSE ON DOWNEY
Downey blinks. Tries to get the signal back.
REG
No signal.
DOWNEY
Get it back! Get it back!
EXT. ISHNU - FOREST
The droid has been twisted, thrown to the ground by some force - and left in the same condition next to its fellow.
A shadow moves off in the background.

Re: \"Titans\" -Warriors of Virtue
Int. Titan Bridge - Day
Captain James Daly enters the bridge and calls for a briefing. He takes his post. Just the upper echelon of crew members gather around the main control console...Officer L.Downey, First Lieutenant Natasha Mar, Second Lieutenant Officer Regenald (Reg) Lee, and the humanoid alien hybrid, Kaheel...
Dr.Chenei stands just behind the gathered group to shield herself from attention. There is clearly something on her mind...something that she is unable to mention...(refers to what she discovered through her microscope in Medbay) for fear that she may have discovered something quite disturbing...quite frightening...
Close on a virtual reality monitor. A button is pressed and the screen becomes larger...a 3-d view of the Planet Ishnu appears...schematics and the works!
Because the scanners cannot penetrate the shielded forest and the only eyes on the surface is now destroyed...the only alternative is to plan a manual ground scan using the Titan's special unit operations (SUO)...
Captain: Alright...We have to arrange a search and retrieval mission for to rescue Lieutenant Henderson and her crew...assuming that they are alive...and at this point, I will assume this...
We are using our special unit operations in conjunction with myself, my first officer, Lieutenant Reg and Kaheel...to execute this mission. The rest of you will standby on the Titan Bridge until I say otherwise.
We are proceeding with extreme caution...I will not put anyone of you in jeopardy...not now, not ever...
We don't know what is down there...who or what we are dealing with is unknown...All I know is that there are crew members of the Titan Warriors that need our assistance...and that is what we are going to give!
Make no mistake about it...We will bring Lieutenant Henderson and her crew back...
As they start to disperse, Captain Daly realizes what he has just said...he promised the crew that he would return with Henderson and her crew...but he didn't say that he would bring them back alive...

Re: \"Titans\" -Warriors of Virtue
INT. ISHNU - FOREST
The Titan shuttle can be seen through the trees, but barely. It's strangely nonmetallic, dark surface blends well with the thick, surrounding greenery. Daly, Lee, the first officer Ari Keller, and Kaheel, holding pulse-rifles and other equipment, move silently - part of the forest, almost. They communicate through coms inside their ears.
Camera closes on his crew - resolute.
DALY (over com)
Stay within sight-distance of me. Go.
With a flick of his wrist, Daly's well-trained crew moves out. Keller, behind Daly, holds a recorder of some sort. Readings, readouts, information flashes across the screen at impossible speeds. They communicate only when necessary.
KELLER (over com)
Got a blip - oh five three north.
With another movement, they switch directions to match Keller. Reg - the youngest - looks more than slightly nervous, as he swallows to wet a dry throat and regains a better grip on his rifle. For the others, especially Kaheel, this could be just another day at the office.
INT. TITAN - BRIDGE
Focus on Downey at the virtual-reality console, which tracks the progress of the ground crew. Mar is beside her, a picture of calm under fire. This crew is a well-oiled machine, if I may use a cliche.
MAR
Confirmed, Ari. It's the droid. The beacon's still working - you might be able to salvage something.
EXT. ISHNU - FOREST
As before. They continue moving forward, towards the reported position of the droid.
All of a sudden - a CRACK - deafening in the silence of the beautiful Ishnu afternoon. And then - focusing on Daly, we get Reg's comvoice -
REG (com)
Oh, my God. Captain -
Camera CLOSES on Reg and what he sees...

Re: \"Titans\" -Warriors of Virtue
Cut back to: Officer Downey
Just above Downey's console is a wall of many small tv monitors that tracks each soldier out on patrol...exept Henderson and the 7 crew members from SUO1-Bravo Team...The monitors track visual and audio...has vital signs...etc...Although, in this case...there are no visuals...
at his console watching the virtual screen intensely. He heard what Reg said, but can't see what Reg is seeing...Downey sits patiently, waiting for some data to come in...
Downey: (to the team on Ishnu) Zulu team, this is Titan, come in...Guys? Hey Reg, what is it?
Nothing comes through the com...Natasha Mar, standing over Downey, listening for what may come...
Crackly and static comes through the com...
Downey: Ah man...what is it with this planet...this interference is driving me nuts! God damn it...(he hits the console out of frustration)...
Ext. Ishnu Forest -Day
Shot of the stationed Titan Shuttle camouflaged in the dense trees...
A shadow is once again lurking...we reveal the strange boot tracks...the same boot tracks at the burial ground...the strange boots we tracked to the mysterious city of Ishnu...
Cut to:
Ext. Ishnu Forest -Day -SUO2 -Zulu Team
Reg: Captain...over here...guys? Take a look at this...(visible disturbed...slightly shaking)...(quietly)-this is not good...
The team make there way over to Reg...and then they react to what is lying there...
Close on the Captain...For the first time that the team has ever seen the Captain react this way...has fear across his face...Daly reacts at the grotesque find...
Reg turns and heaves...the stench is repulsive!

We can hear the drip, drip echoing quietly in the distance...
We open on a dimly lit room. The walls appear to be made from some type of stone. Smooth...concrete in colour...
Close on a closed eye lid...we pull back slowly to reveal Lieutenant Henderson...but, we see that she is upside down...hung from her feet...from something above...Blood drips from her half open mouth...she is unconscious...
We pull back even more to get a sense of the room that she is in. The rooms design is kind of "Igloo" like, but tens times as big...
Henderson is hanging in the middle of the room...if her hands, which are tied behind her were hanging down...she wouldn't be able to touch the floor...She is stripped to her thermo-under clothing which is very tight fitting (second skin idea)...the rest of her gear is stashed in a corner of the room...no weapons though...and no sign of the other team member's of SUO1 -Bravo team...
There is a small wooden table to the side of the room...there is one entrance...and the door is made of some strange looking metal...or appears to be metal...dull looking surface...solid...there is a slit in the door about 1/2 -3/4 of the way up the door...light from the corridor shines through...
All is silent...just the drip, drip, drip of water echoing off in the distance...

She stops at the "Quarantine" area, not able to enter...she takes a deep breath, and dons the head-covering and ventilation mask...the show must go on...

I made a mistake again Channe! Sorry...I got confused with the different SUO Special Unit teams...
Okay...I will set the record straight here...
SUO (Special Unit Operations)#1 -Team Bravo...This is Henderson's (Angelina Jolie)
SUO (Special Unit Operations)#2 -Team Zulu...This is the team looking for Henderson, lead by Captain James Daly...
I think that this is correct now...sorry...
WOW!

Daly to Titan. Please respond.
DOWNEY (with a desperate edge)
Captain, Downey here. We're losing your transmissions. We can't read your lifesigns.
When there's only static on the com, Downey slams his hand into the console with what can only be a muttered expletive. Mar lifts her gaze at his behavior, but is too engrossed in her own work to really care; these two work well together, as they usually stay on the bridge to coordinate things.
MAR
I'm losing it.
DOWNEY
Zulu team - do you read me?
Downey continues tinkering with the comm system, an intensity in his eyes. Mar's flickering readouts almost seem to fade away - and then they spring back to vibrant life.
MAR
They're back.
Downey's hand is lightning hitting the com diagnostics - what's going on here?
EXT. ISHNU FOREST
The crew has wrapped up at the scene. Kaheel calmly puts away the samples, and they're moving again. No time to waste - they all know that every moment seperated from Bravo team is another moment they could die.
Silent. Soft. Padding through the forest like they belong there, Zulu team is as before. Reg, however, is a bit more unsteady than before...
And behind them, a brilliant red light crosses the sky. It's beautiful.
KELLER
Sunset will be soon, sir. Orders?
Reg and Kaheel exchange looks - the last time sunset came to Ishnu, they all know what happened...

Re: \"Titans\" -Warriors of Virtue
INT. ISHNU - HENDERSON'S ROOM
Another shot of Henderson, hanging like a smoking ham from somewhere in the cieling. We push in close, but we still can't tell whether or not she's alive.
There are sounds, ghostly, tinny, to one side of her - yet she does not wake - they're familiar. There's a human scream, the sound of crackling underbrush, the unholy shrieks and noises of Blood-song. We hear Henderson screaming "Tom - TOM!" and giving orders - "Back, back to the shuttle, GO! GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE!" as well as "This is Bravo Team, we're under attack, I repeat, we're under attack, Horton's dead, we've been seperated - I can't get to the shuttle!" And then, a sickening thud like the felling of a body to the ground, and then a return to the silence of the room.
It could have been a tomb, for all we know.
As the camera pans to one side, we see Henderson's com-unit thrown to the ground and shattered. We're just too late to see what goes out the door.

Re: \"Titans\" -Warriors of Virtue
Then black...
There is a gasp...silence...and then another gasp! A gasp for air...We smash cut to a close-up shot of a open mouth gasping for breathe...
As we pull back...we reveal that it is Henderson once again. She has awakened from her brief unconsciousness...she jolts her body...and struggles...
She has just woken from a nightmare...her memory has irked her mind...and a jaunt back to reality was made from the stirring dream!
Henderson is still hanging upside down...her hands are still tied behind her back...and her feet bound from above...
Damn! It was only a dream!
Footsteps suddenly come down the hallway leading to the room...echoing closer and closer! Awkward sounding...a limp is evident as the feet step come closer...and closer...and then stop at the door...
Henderson maneuvors herself to look in the direction of the door...she squints at the slit in the entance door...just where the sound of the foot steps stopped...
There is a shadow there...something moved! Henderson adjusts her focus...there is panic in her now! She starts breathing heavier...just from the fear...
She hears a low, deep growl...nothing she has ever heard before...She is really frigtened now...and tries to squirm her way...maybe loosen the ropes that bind her feet from above...to no avail...it is useless to expend her energy...
She looks at the slit in the door again...and there...she sees something...there is an eye looking through the slit...not human for sure...It is a steel blue gaze, piercing through Henderson's soul! She can now see it quite clearly now! AN EYE...An eye of some creature...
It blinks..and then squints at Henderson. It knows that she can see her...and grins with its eyes...as if it is being amused...entertained even at Henderson's fear...
Its' breathing intensifies...harder and harder, drowning out Henderson's laboured breathe! And then...
A howl that was like something out of "Jurassic Park"! High pitched like a Veleceraptor and King Kong combined!
Henderson is frozen! My god! There is nothing she can do...but close her eyes! Thinking that this will help the situation...but, of course...this is one nightmare that is never going away...
She can now hear the door rattling...a bolt coming undone...the lock! It is being opened!
Henderson is breathing so hard now...it would seem that she has run a million miles...sweat breaks out of her pores! She has never...in her whole life..experienced what she is experiencing at this moment...but then again...the same will be true with whatever is trying to get in the room...Whatever is behind the door...is far greater than fear itself...
Far greater than HELL...
Henderson's screams fades into the darkness...into the dense forest of Ishnu...and we fade to black...

Re: \"Titans\" -Warriors of Virtue
Continue -Ext.Ishnu -Forest -Getting darker
Close on Reg. He thinks he hears something...and tenses like a wild animal on guard...Did he hear something?
Reg: Shhhhhhhh...Did you hear that?
Captain: Hear what?
Reg: I, I...I thought that I heard something...I'm pretty sure that I heard something...
Captain: Well...what? What did you "THINK" you heard Reg? Hmmm...
Reg: Ah...well...I don't know...I thought that I heard something...
Captain: Well, firstly, there are a ton of different creatures in this forest...I am sure that you heard one of those strange creatures or something...I mean...come on...this is a forest...We haven't a clue what is out there...
Reg pulls out the a cylindrical device and shoves it in the ground. This is a portable communication comlink...an equivelant to a brick mobile phone...really acient...but it works fine...not the most portable system...
Captain Daly: What the hell...why are you using the old radio com system? I haven't seen one of those in years, kid!?
Reg: I don't know...It always works fine for me...I don't trust those high tech gadgets...they keep breaking down...
(Reg lifts his high-tech com link...and nods at the Captain..."You know what I mean" kind of look)
And secondly, as long as you keep fiddling around with that...that...thing of a com system...the chances of us being stranded out here and have to stay the night are quite good...and this is definitely something that we don't want to do...especially when you think that you heard something...and the look on your face explains it all...so...with that my friend...Get the god damn communication com link set up...(pause)...Thank you officer Reg...
The Captain walks off...
There is a good chance that SUO2 -Team Zulu is setting up camp for the night...
The sun is really setting fast now...

Re: \"Titans\" -Warriors of Virtue
INT. HENDERSON'S ROOM - ISHNU
Henderson hangs, more frightened than that time in the Battle of Aile Prime, more frightened when she had been held a gunpoint in a basement in Galoria - at least then, she'd been up against an enemy she could understand. A preliminary movement of her ankles confirms that whatever's up there is holding her fast...
...and then the door opens.
Henderson closes her eyes and prays. It's the end, she knows it, as the shadow moves over her face.
AN UNHOLY SCREAM - SOMETHING FROM DANTE'S DEEPEST LEVEL OF HELL - FROM THE MAW OF LUCIFER HIMSELF -
EXT. ISHNU - FOREST
Reg is alone, in full gear behind a rock outcrop. His gun faces out into the forest. There's a noise. A whistle.
REG
Challenge.
Keller steps from the shadows.
KELLER
It's just me, Reg, and you're relieved. I'd tell you to catch a Z or two, but I want those coms working.
REG
Yessir. How does it look out there?
KELLER
Not good. We're too far from the shuttle to return before nightfall.
REG (looking up, distracted)
What you said about Henderson, earlier - d'ye think she's dead? She and Bravo team?
Keller sighs, and takes a seat on a rock across from him, taking out the readings, she frowns into him, one eye always on the surroundings...
KELLER
I don't like to lose shipmates, Reg. But I think there's a good chance Bravo Team's been eliminated. (beat) I know - Henderson meant a lot to you.
Reg nods, gets up, and moves back into camp as the sun displays its glory over the forest - there hasn't been a sunset like this on Earth.
Approaching from the side of the outcrop is a sound. Keller and Reg stand, aim their rifles.
KELLER
Challenge.
DALY
Friend. Daly and Kaheel. Keller, do you have anything - anything at all?
Keller sighs, annoyance crossing her features.
KELLER
Nothing. I lost the probe droid. There's something interfering with the readings I'm taking. Whenever I lock on, it's gone.
Daly scans the area. The last thing he wants to do is what he's suggesting now.
DALY
Dig in, folks. We'll camp here tonight. I'll take first watch. Kaheel, second, Keller third, Reg, I want my equipment working.
Off in the distance, a hauntingly familiar scream. The scream Henderson heard. Reg, whose nerves were already walking the wire, stands and grabs his rifle.
REG
There- there it is! D'you hear?
KELLER
Mmhmm.
Impossibly, from Reg's radio device comes Downey's voice.
DOWNEY (com)
Titan to Zulu Team. Come in, please. Titan to-
Daly scoops up the com and nearly yells into it, eyeing Reg with a sort of respect. But only for a moment.
DALY
We're here.
INT. BRIDGE - TITAN
Mar and Downey, as before.
MAR
Captain, we're reading highly increased biological activity around you, exactly like we read before we lost contact with Bravo team. I suggest you move out of there, now.
EXT. ISHNU - FOREST
Daly hesitates for a moment, takes stock of his crewmembers.
DALY
We're not leaving without news of Bravo team. Monitor our situation, Titan. Keep this channel open...
