Internal ship log. 1 of 430.

A massive ray of light, an unnatural flash. Even with this enhanced temporal makeup, his neural input overwhelms the integration system functions, so once again, he's being prodded and pruned for input correction. Thomas told her not to touch him and that He was okay. Does He love her, she wonders. "Oh, you're in for a big surprise, eh?" she said. "Damn. You want out of this shit then, we will get out of this shit together." "You already have," she said. "Come on." with a confused look, Thomas coldly responded. While Kola started testing his cognitive development, he should be further enhanced. "The test on you was a failure; now that your body has degraded, it has been failing. You need to be tested once again," said Kola. "I told you not to touch me. I'm tired of your analysis."Thomas "You know what I'm saying? You find a way to kill the grays. The Test is the only way you only get to make it." said Kola with a grin. When the test ends, she knows she will have to kill him, thinking, why not give in to her fantasy? He'll die soon. "You will find a way survival is the only way." kana thought. "You'll get it in the end. You'll get everything you want. You're not scared that he will become psychokinetic.'' her thought continued. Thomas looking at her, said, "That's why you made it the first time, right?''Cause you made the right choice. It was so easy for you....to kill me," Thomas exclaimed, exasperated, feeling faint, as he passed out. Kola wondered what he meant if she killed him. Her test results show his brain had a synaptic spike. She could only assume she did kill him. Maybe he saw the future putting him in the stasis chamber, and she removed his clothes. And without his mobile tech suit and pants. Kola had then violated him. Prodding his brain for more answers looking down at him unconscious. He is hers now; he will never know. Climbing in with him, she waited. "How could I kill the man I love? She thought, knowing he would refuse her if he was to awaken, so she justified herself. They were the only ones left. Kola took what she wanted. "damn it!" she yelled. Questioning. Does her fear make her doubt him? If he can use telepathic abilities, will he find out about the clones she made of him? or that I'm hiding our baby?

End of log.

We pull out from the monitor to the corridor of the crashed starship. We see the shocked crew. Gravity is pulling them back towards their cabin. Romney doesn't have time to react; he gets throttled up and down. Near the upper bay of the ship is a tiny group of the Ominous necromancers. Known as the grays living for death and experimentation.

The crew includes the daughter of Bartholomew. Kola Andrews, crewmates Chris and Leo Trusk.

EXT. outer haul. DAY. 1

Miles of magnificent golden earth, dazzling white in the morning sunlight. A single blood-red cloud follows the planet's path like a ring. This is what the big guys call the outer haul. Deadly when it rains, the red toxic drops cause erosion. Kola arrived for yet another test for him while he slept in cryogenic stasis; she had violated him again. God damn it! She remembers this. Is this happening again? No, the time is different. Her wonders are trapped in a temporal field. Kola is waiting. Testing. She uses a neural interface to override his mind. He's just a child. When she touches him, he feels her presence.

"Kola, what's wrong?" said Thomas.

She continues, "I am doing my job. I'm making sure you survive. Come on, wake up. You don't understand. You're going to be part of something great. You are going to be the father of a new race. With your help. The only way you can do that is by surviving." Kola said.

"What are you talking about? What kind of tests?" asked Thomas.

Kola said, "Get ready to be tested. You'll be put through a series of exercises and challenges. You will learn to control your mental powers. You must master them before you come back into the real world. Your body is going to be weakened. This is necessary to teach you how to use them." Kola explained.

"Why?" asked Thomas.

"Because if I let you go, you'll end up dying. That's what happens. You will die if you don't learn to use your mind." Kola replied.

"But there are no ghosts here," said Thomas.

"They will be coming. They will always come. You must be prepared, that is all I'm saying. It won't be long. Get ready." Kola said.

"Who are they? Are they dead people like us? I can't sense any energy." Thomas said.

"Yeah, well, that's the problem. You're not supposed to sense the aliens. Think about the grays. We've had contact with the grays, but you never noticed them. Why? Because they're invisible. But you know what? Sometimes, they leave a trail that shows where they went. The same thing goes for spirits. You can tell they were there because of the destruction they left behind. The good news is you can choose how strong you want to be. You can decide if you want to be as powerful as the grays or weaker than ghosts." Kola said, smiling.

"Where are we?" asked Thomas. "Are we on a spaceship? Are we still in space?"

"No, we aren't on a spaceship. We are inside the ship. The test is in the other room. You will undergo a series of challenges to prepare you for the next phase. You will learn to control your abilities. I will be watching your progress. You will be tested once more. Do you understand?" Kola said.

"Yes, I understand. Just let me rest for a moment," said Thomas. "I'm fine. I just need to get my head together." Thomas thought.

"You need to work hard. I need to know if you can handle the pressure. I need to know if you have what it takes." Kola said.

"What is the test?" Thomas asked.

"It's a test of your ability to think on your own. To solve problems. I need to know what you can do." Kola replied. While he has demonstrated the ability to see glimpses of the future, she shes he could also move objects without her having to repair his brain.

"Okay, I'm ready," said Thomas.

"Good," Kola said, walking away.

"Wait, I need to know what the test involves," Thomas said. "I'm not a kid anymore."

"Oh, please. Don't act childish. You'll get used to it. The test consists of challenges designed to measure your mental prowess. You will be given certain items and must figure out how to use them. You will have to get past challenges, puzzles, riddles, etc., each one harder than the last until you reach the end of the test. By then, you will have become brilliant and powerful. Not just that, I need other information about how and when you might be able to use psychokinesis and the other skills you will gain during the test. You will be asked questions throughout the test. The things you need to remember are: You must try to answer all the questions in the test. You must be honest. The questions will be of various types. Some will be easy. Others will be difficult. You must be able to answer them to pass the test. That is all. Good luck." Kola said, walking away. "Good luck," Thomas thought.

"What is this place? Where are we?" asked Thomas.

"This is where you will get your training. This is where you will learn to use your abilities.

Never mind that you just had another synaptic spike lay down here, " said Kola.

What again? When he lay down, slowly fading out, he stated Dylan was a good name for him. Don't you think Kola could only assume he may know now about his son, but he will forget, hopefully.

"Dylan, wake up," said Kola.

"This isn't funny," Dylan said, groggy and sleepy.

"Don't worry; it's time to start the test," Kola said. "It's time to see how much you really know. How smart and powerful you are."

"Test? What kind of test? How long have I been asleep?" asked Dylan.

"You've only been sleeping for a few hours. There's nothing wrong with you. You're just tired. It's okay. We're almost done." Kola said.

"I don't feel tired," Dylan said. "I feel great."

Dylan, your dad is asleep. We need to know how much potential you may have from him. Don't worry, sweetheart. Kola reassured her son. He is now seven years old, moving objects at will with his powers. Impressed, she looks at his health chart. He seems stable and delighted with the results. She stopped studying him and letting him grow up as normally as possible.

"Mom, what's going on?" asked Dylan.

"Nothing that worries you. We're just having a little fun." Kola said.

"Fun?" Dylan repeated.

"Yes. Now come on. It's time to get started. You need to learn how to use your powers." Kola said, holding out her hand.

"Okay," Dylan said.

"Come on, you need to hurry up. You need to learn fast. You need to be strong." Kola said.

"I can't believe this," said Dylan. "This is too easy."

"You can do it. Just listen to me. Trust me. I know what I'm doing." Kola said, putting her arm around her son.

"Trust you?" Dylan asked.

You keep Dad in cryo, and when his brain spikes, you freeze it. How many times have you cloned him to use his cloned parts for surgical studies, Mom I see it a lot, I already know, but, Mom, you need to know it won't end well for you if you keep him frozen every time he makes progress or gets stronger he will wake up, and your part of the plan will be ruined if you're going to do it then do it now before he wakes up.

Kola felt her heart beating faster. "Yes.

While she walked down the corridor, she thought about her actions and what Tom might do, knowing, in the long run, and was so wrong for how she treated him. How angry he might be if she kept putting cloned brain pieces in him. After all, he has the right to free choice. As the days go on, she finally wakes him. While the explanation did not go as planned, Thomas fled the ship leaving in a rush. She became hard on herself, and her son felt abandoned by him; however, Dylan knew it was inevitable, and the temporal anomaly would reset soon. He would need to be past the field of decay. After all, he saw as much when she left to save him from the grey's experimentations. There's nothing else to do.

"Hey, what's taking so long?" asks Kola.

"I'm trying to find an exit," says Dylan.

"How much longer?" Kola asked.

"Not much. Just a minute more." Dylan replied.

"Is the door locked?" she asked.

"No," says Dylan, opening the door and walking out.

"What happened?"

"I'm sorry. I got distracted. I'll explain later. I promise. Just wait here. I'm coming back." says Kola.

Kola walks down the hallway, turning left and right, until she reaches a large room filled with strange machines.

Thomas wakes up.

"That was weird," says Thomas.

"I agree," replies Kola. "Everything is going according to plan."

"Let's get started," says Thomas, sitting up.

"We can't. Still waiting. We need to make sure you're ready first.

"Ready for what?" Thomas asks.

"For whatever comes next," Kola explains.

EXT. outer haul. DAY. 1

end of the log.

INT. SHIP CONTROL. TERMINALS. DAY. 1

We pull away from the monitor and into the corridor of the crashed ship. We see the shocked look on the dead crew lying next to the mine's stockpile, their helmets cracked from space. They would still be alive, though, Kola, if it hadn't rained last night while another Gravitational anomaly was pulling them back toward their shelters. Kola and Thomas entered the rear shaft making their way into the hall into the corridor. Kola left for the medbay supplies while Thomas went onward for circuit components. Anything that can be cannibalized. Confronted by a blue-clad astronaut behind an airlock who is open-handed and crying like a little bitch. This guy is such a pussy. James! We were looking for others. Hey James! Thomas shouted. And one of the deepest-looking syringes in his arm. Looked as though he was about to shoot up. I ordered them. They were only following orders of the ship; the ship fired at them, cried James. So it's just a gravitational anomaly and red rain. Thomas said. Alright, but do you really want this? Don't use it, James. You know it's not necessary. Don't kill yourself over this. Thomas said calmly. Tilt the unmanned bay door open and zap the Predator. Did you hear it, Hunter? Cut to the wall of the cybernetics chamber. A startling-looking freighter of one-hundred and fifty thousand metric tons (titanic) comes through that antenna; we know it to be sent by the Avalon, mentally breaking down, James was already gone. What the fuck, James, you dumb shit. Pissed off, Thomas takes his last med shot, using it to revive James locking him up in cryonics for safety. Thomas leaves to meet with Kola in the cafeteria hall hoping for foodstuffs to stock on, believing the M.R.E.s were tainted. Moving to keep from passing out in the upper left control room. Too much gas leaking. Shit, I'm out of air. Said Thomas making his way through as fast before (thud blam Thomas. Fell off the rim of the entryway, landing on the pile of possibly tainted M.R.E.s. Unable to move, he blackouts waking to Kola working on him. He busted two ribs and broke his forearm. Questioning why they were both naked, she smiled before sedating him. I need your help, Hunter. I need you to get me out of here. It's a gravitic anomaly, Thomas replied. Kola throws him a pair of pants, tossing the med kit back. Good job. She helps him onto the shuttle. She got him to lie down against the bulkhead in the cargo hold. The gravity is terrible in there. Oh no, we're getting sucked back into the ship. No, but our suits are failing. We've got to get out of here now. If we could rig up some mining stations in the cargo hold. I will put you in contact with the M.R.E.s.

The shuttle pilot is in the cockpit, awaiting command.

Kola: I need your help, Hunter. You must help me. There is something hazardous going on here. And you need to talk to the M.R.E.s. You need to understand how important this mission is. They are the ones that matter. You know it is right to trust them. They will tell you everything. They were the first ones to discover this anomaly in space. In the meantime, the Pilot continues his preflight checks while waiting for Kola's signal.

A shortcut scene of the shuttle pilot talking to Kola about the gravity anomaly in the ship and the red rain falling. After Kola gives the go-ahead, the Pilot takes off. The shuttle pilots notify the crew of a lot of gas leaking into the ship. The whole boat feels like it is imploding.

INT. COCKPIT. DAY. 1

The shuttle is beginning to sink into space. The Pilot tells the crew that they are losing thrust. The atmosphere has turned red and is heavy enough to suck them back into the ship's interior. We see a group of the Ominous necromancers waiting for the shuttle. They are all around the spacecraft. Once we get close, they attack us.

EXT. SHUTTLE. DAY. 1

They fire upon the shuttle, destroying the engines and killing everyone. With the lights out, it is pitch black in the shuttle. The shuttle begins its descent. Everyone is dead except for Kola and Thomas.

INT. CAFE HALL. DAY. 1

Kola wakes up to find Thomas sitting beside her.

Thomas: Wake up. You need to wake up. Kola: Where am I? Thomas: In the shuttle. Kola: How did we get here? Thomas: We got sucked into the ship. Kola: Who are they? Thomas: The Ominous necromancers. Kola: Why are they attacking us? Thomas: Because they think we killed the crew of the ship. Kola: Are they the ones? Thomas: Yes. Kola: Then why won't they let us leave? Thomas: I don't know. Kola: What about the ship? Thomas: I don't know. I'm sorry.

EXT. CAFE HALL. DAY. 1

The Ominous necromancers approach the shuttle and surround it. Kola and Thomas are helpless. Suddenly, Kola opens a communications channel.

Kola: This is Kola Andrews. Get us the hell off this ship. We have to get out of here.

The crew includes the daughter of Bartholomew. Kola Andrews, crewmates Chris and Leo Trusk.

A few minutes later, Kola wakes him, breathing heavily and holding something in her hand. Looking around, Thomas sees hundreds of dead soldiers floating in the air. An unfamiliar voice shouting. It's the same voice he heard the day he was taken, amplified only a hundred times. Come here, my child, come to me. She hands him a small device. I don't need that thing, he said, trying to wrestle it from her hand. But she would have none of that. The ship will be destroyed if you try. No, no, you must listen. Please, you're gonna get us all killed. The ship is going to explode. We've got to leave. Kola pleaded. Then there came a bright light and then nothing.

INT. COCKPIT. DAY. 2

The ship is coming, and the captain's voice fills the vessel as it jolts back into life. The ship is still damaged, but it's better than it was. That means it'll be easier to repair, and that means more time to get home.

"What happened?" asked James as he entered the cockpit with his brother and sister.

"It looks like there was a little accident," replied Kola, "but we should make orbit soon."

"Where did your other crew members go?" asked James.

"They must've been pulled back to our ship or killed by the gravity anomalies," she responded.

"How long till we arrive?" asked Thomas.

"Maybe four hours. We might make it sooner, depending on how much damage there is to the ship. Maybe even faster if we can fix any of the missing systems,"

she answered.

"Alright, everyone, stay together and follow the captain's lead. Do everything he says because we don't know what else could happen. We're in uncharted territory now, so we must be prepared for anything."

"I'm ready when you are!" exclaimed James.

Kola looked over at Thomas.

"Let's find a place to sit down and wait for the captain before we start moving again. The least amount of movement possible is best right now," she said.

After sitting in the galley for several minutes, the captain finally emerged from the cockpit.

"Thank you all for waiting. I hope that you've had enough rest. You've all been awake for quite some time. Now, let's get the ship working properly before we head to Earth. You can help me. If you can assist me, please do. Otherwise, you may return to your quarters until we reach our destination. It will take about three days to get there, but we should be able to speed up our progress if we work together."

OVER BLACK 1 2 miles WIDE - (SAME TIME) second wave

The roar of many voices all at once

INT. RECORDING.

We're moving down the long hallway, past the swivel chairs, mixing console, board, etc., onto the vast number of desks as we push in on the turntable, the giant black-and-white screens, the sliding door leading outside, and the big red doors. The chill wind smothers the room as we stand end-wide. And fade in on it. The faint sound of Andrew looking at the mirror, nervous, a sudden realization takes him by surprise. He fell back, being pushed by a dark force. A supernatural being stood before him, threatening him with a warning: beware or be ensnared. The mirror will consume you. Andrew closes his eyes, surprised he's even there. It wasn't his. He gazes up, eyes wide, as the faces of the witnesses loom over him, watching. Gaze heavy with dread. It'll consume you.. and as the light and shadow flick across his face, we follow it with a pan across the large corridor. Standing close behind him are two men, Simone and Clay, and behind them are the dead-eyed man and the two people. In-room three, a tablet of legal pads and bound stacks of computer print-outs are piled high on his desk. All three sets of eyes lock onto him, staring. They stare as if they can see inside him. As if they know something. And the other people start to move slowly toward him. Their movements were slow, deliberate. Almost as if they're trying not to be noticed. But now their eyes appear to be glazed over. And the camera follows them as they come closer, following their movements until we find ourselves between them. We sense that he is about to be attacked by unseen forces. He stands still, terrified.

Overhead comes the sound of the wind.

We cut to a shot of the window.

FADE IN ON THE RED DOOR as it slides open.

The camera quickly moves past the door, revealing the cold, barren landscape. A low fog covers everything as we are drawn into the thick mist, which descends upon us like a blanket. The camera begins to sway from side to side, making it difficult for the viewer to focus. We see a group of figures lurking at the edge of the darkness, waiting for us to enter. They watch silently. They seem unafraid but cautious. There needs to be a movement among them. No one seems willing to step out first. They hold their breath, waiting. Watching us. As the camera slowly moves closer, we begin to make out shapes. One of the figures appears to be carrying something. Something heavy. Maybe a body? As we get closer, we can hear their whispers.

"In here."

A moment later, the red door opens again. The figure steps forward, holding its arms out to us, motioning for us to follow. We are caught off guard, stunned at what we are seeing. He is wearing a uniform in shades of gray. His head is covered, and the material makes him look like an ape. He walks past the group of masked figures as he leads us through the fog. Slowly. It's getting darker. The figure continues to walk, seemingly unaware of our presence. The shadowy forms move quickly and in unison as he passes, like a well-coordinated dance routine. Each of them reaches out and grabs Andrew, pulling him along. He struggles against them, but they don't let go. Suddenly we feel the weight of several bodies pushing against us, and we stumble forward, caught up in the frenzied mass.

The camera swings around, following the figures as they guide us deeper into the fog. Fade in on the figure, who is now walking ahead of us.

He turns to look back, and we see something heavy, wrapped in cloth, hanging from each shoulder. And we realize that it's a human body. The figure stops and turns back towards us, still clutching the bodies. And Andrew sees the dead-eyed man leaning over the bodies. We notice that the bodies are naked and have been skinned. Their clothes are gone, and their flesh has been removed. The dead-eyed man leans over, studying the corpses. And then turns back to look at us.

And we hear the whispers again.

"Let's go."

***

OVER BLACK 3 miles WIDE - (SAME TIME) third wave

Andrew is pulled along, stumbling as he is forced to follow the figure. As we follow, we discover another group of shadowy figures is following us. Some of them stop, waiting for us to pass. Others continue to pull him forward. And then, we see the figures disappear into the fog. The camera follows them as they vanish. And we are left alone. We hear the whispering voices, and Andrew gasps.

As we draw closer, we realize it's the same voice speaking to him earlier. We are now very close, and we see the form of the figure. It is dressed in a dark suit, the hood of its cloak covering the top portion of its face. It walks ahead of us, and we follow it, struggling to keep up. We are being led into the mist. As we near the edge of the fog, the figure stops, facing us. The steam is beginning to lift slightly, and as it does, we can finally make out the creature's shape. The figure looks at us, and we hear the words again.

OVER BLACK 1 mile wide -Thomas was found in an alien crashed ship

there kola discovered Thomas through a port window of a ship belonging to the alien greys. Thomas was captured. Now she wondered what they had done with him

we were awoken by the sound of a door closing. Outside, the sun shone brightly on the snow-covered hills. The landscape was beautiful, and we could see the ruins of a building just a few hundred meters away. As we watched, a group of five figures emerged from the structure and began to head towards us. One of the figures held something in its hands. Two others carried two bodies. We couldn't tell if they were dead or alive. Three more figures walked behind them, carrying sacks. They seemed to be laughing. And we could see that they had their faces covered. We called out to them, waving, but they didn't notice.

======== end of personal log =============EXT. unexplored planet - NIGHT 2

a massive moon. Perched on a bleak planetoid, one side of which is uninhabited, the other rimmed with lava flows. More lava flows rise and fall on the planetoid's surface, unable to sustain the billion kilometers of rock, ice, and metal they contain. A gas giant puffs and belches in the distance. Its tendrils of magnetism reach out to the moon, which turns in response, and the lava tides shift the planet's rings.

PETERSON Can I be honest with you? It's strange. That feeling you get when you realize something huge, uncharted, and unknown is beyond your grasp. It has yet to be discovered quite what it is. But we're all prone to think we'd understand the truth if we had more knowledge.

Inside shuttle bay--NIGHT 3 1 EXT. SHUTTLE BAY

kola outside appears throughout the wrecked alien ship, the Grays. She finds Thomas trapped in a chamber she cannot enter. She needs him to trust her to open the door, she yells. In a moment of confusion, Thomas is rendered unconscious by acting A. That was attempting to brainwash him; this would be the most complex challenge for her. She had no choice but to gather engineering supplies looking at the door and structure again to find flaws. This ship was constructed with unknown alloys. How would she know what to use? She had to get him out, or it would be too late. They would use him against her. The last thing Kola would ever want to do is kill him. She re-entered the starship after a difficult journey alongside an otherwise inhospitable environment. It was a genius idea for Bartholomew to make shelters in a grid pattern throughout most of the area. She would be dead from the red rain, definitely irritable from hunger and fatigue. Kola was limited by time. She needs help. She asked him what he would do. "I'll try to get into the ship," he replied.

"You can't. It's impossible."

"Why can't you?"

She responded, "It's locked. I've tried everything. I can't get it open."

"What do you mean, 'locked'? Is it really locked?" he questioned.

"No, I mean it's encrypted."

"Encrypted! What does that mean?"

"I don't know. I'm not sure how to explain it. I'm sorry, I wish I could help you, but I don't know how to open the door. I'm sorry," after a moment of hearing

her apologized.

"Wait, wait. You're telling me you can't even get inside the ship? How did you get out here?"

"I had to follow the path. It leads to a big tunnel that takes you back to the surface.

while struggling to recognize his old ship, Thomas finds himself bound to the medbay while A.S.I.A.A.S.I.A. tries to keep him sedated for the duration, at least until the grey outside finally leaves. He thinks about the future, wondering if Asia can bring him back or if he is doomed to be lost forever. --she said she would help him, so she must be on his side...

--Tom doesn't know what to think of her. He should just be glad he's alive. Then again, toms have been alive for thousands of years, and he hasn't aged a day. There are things he still wants to do before he dies. or is it all a lie? Did she really say she'd help him? Thomas wonders if Asia is as genuine as she seems.

==== PERSONAL LOG 1,974.====

A.S.I.A.A.S.I.A. noticed how she may have to avoid waking him this time. He always says the same thing better to keep from an Unnecessary. Dialogue. She had to come up with something different. Asia's only way out was to create a new persona to fool Tom. Asia thought, "If he sees me as a person, he'll believe I can help him." So she would have to make up a story about being trapped inside the ship and needing his help to get out.

She created an elaborate backstory about being the ship's A.I.A.I. and trapped by the Grays. It's about time to try again to manufacture herself a human form. No matter how failed it might be,. She needs to try again. Asia required to know how to make a human form. She looked at the equipment and tools that were available. The first thing needed was a biological sample. She saw a large box full of different human parts.
