Are all fen secured?

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.

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