#2

Wide angle shot of Streaker a survey vessel chased by two
battle ships firing missiles at Streaker. The cg camera
dollies to Streakers command center window and travels
into the cabin and focuses on Gillian issuing orders.
The on set camera should follow the continuity of the CG
camera. STREAKER space ship was vibrating and sparks
coming everywhere as we focus on Gillian Baskin.

#3

Just a previz of another shot. There is a new ship that needs to be built

#4

Are all fen secured?

Now! Open the rear locks and
activate the pumps!

Launch that decoy probe! Hard
lateral acceleration. Apply stasis
to compensate all but one g
rearward!

GILLIAN
(thinking)
Where the hell are you Tom? Are
you alive or dead? I miss you.

KRAT
(Hissing like a
snake)
Show me! Show me at once!

#7

Stupid creatures unworthy of the
name ‘sophonts’. Foolish, presentinent
of errant masters. We
slip away from all your armed
might, laughing at your
clumsiness. And now we have a real
head start, you’ll never catch us!
What better proof that the
Progenitors favour not you, but
us! What better proof…
The taunt goes on…

#8

KRAT
(listens and enraged)
Hmm! I like the man’s artistry.

(CONTINUED)
These men are better than I had
thought. Their insults are wordy
and overblown, but they have
talent. They deserve honorable,
slow deaths.

EXT. - KITHRUP WATER SURFACE - DAY
In the clear water of Kithrup everything seemed strangely
refracted. The coral-like peaks of the metal mounds
shimmered. Drifting yellow tendrils of dangle-weed hung
from the surface.

The scenery were metal-mounds, giant
spongy islands shaped by millions of generations of coral
like creatures. Metallo-Organic exoskeletons accumulated
into huge, flat-topped mountains rising a few meters
about the mean water mark.

#10

You’ve been busy! Nice work on the models.
