INT. SPACESHIP MONITOR ROOM. NIGHT

The scene opens to two people sat in the monitor room of the

spaceship, attempting to reconnect their signal with the

rest of their crew, who had set off on a rescue mission only

a few hours earlier.

FRANKIE

Rescue team, do you read? [Pause]

Rescue team, are you there?

ALEX

Forget it Frankie, they’re as good

as dead in there. I told them it

wasn’t worth it, but did they

listen?...

ALEX leans back on his chair, making it SQUEAK. He LAUGHS to

himself in reply to his own question. The ship’s alarm

system then begins to ring out with DEAFENING urgency,

flooding the room with red light.

ALEX

No, this can’t be right at all...

FRANKIE TYPES furiously on her keyboard, bringing up data on

the ship’s defenses. One monitor shows real-time footage of

strange humanoid creatures breaking through into the ship.

FRANKIE

But I’m sure I checked the security

measures after everyone left.

Nothing should be able to get in.

The main door to the ship crashes open with a loud BANG.

ALEX

Too late for regrets now.

ALEX stands up from his chair cautiously and walks towards

the door, peeking out of the window, to see aliens tearing

the ship apart.

ALEX

This is bad.

FRANKIE walks towards ALEX and joins him at the door.

FRANKIE takes out her gun, CLICKS off the safety and reaches

out to open the door.

ALEX

What do you think you’re doing?

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED: 2.

FRANKIE

Someone has to do something at

least.

ALEX

You don’t know what you’re up

against.

FRANKIE slides open the door and begins to walk out of the

monitor room, and OPENS FIRE on the aliens in the room,

while ALEX bangs on the door.

ALEX

FRANKIE! FRANKIE!

ALEX watches as FRANKIE is ambushed by the aliens. FRANKIE

can be heard SCREAMING, and the aliens can be heard

attacking by SCRATCHING and RIPPING. ALEX RUNS to the other

side of the room, pulling an air vent off the wall with an

audible CLANK. After crawling through the air vent, ALEX

pulls off another air vent with another audible CLANK,

arriving in the armoury

INT. SPACESHIP ARMOURY. NIGHT

ALEX grabs a gun from a shelf, and LOADS it with bullets. He

readies the gun with a SNAP and walks slowly towards the

door with slow FOOTSTEPS. ALEX can also be heard BREATHING

HEAVILY at this point, the sounds of the aliens can also be

heard through the door. When he approaches the door, he

stops.

ALEX

3... 2... 1...

ALEX HITS a button which opens the door with a HISS. The

chaos in the room ALEX is looking into falls silent.

ALEX

Come and get me.

The chaos begins again, and the aliens RUN towards ALEX and

the scene cuts straight to gameplay.
