South Park Wasteland Series.
Episode 101.--The Thawing.
Bunker.
Fade from black to a hill in the desert. Camera slowly revolves 180 degrees to show a concrete door frame with severe rust stains on it, showing that the door frame is made of rebarred concrete. The door is made of bullet proof steel. Pan inside the bunker. The floors are made of white ceramic tiles, the walls are made of light grey concrete, which is so smooth , that from a distance it looks almost like plastic. The ceiling is coated with white plaster and ever present fluorescent lights, there are three doors in the hallway, one aligned on either side and one at the end. The inner doors are the same as the outer door, only less coroded. There is a sign for each door, the left hand side door reads 'Male Dorms', the one on the right hand side reads 'Female Dorms'. There is a small amount of dust on the floor and the lights are off. The third sign reads 'Lower Levels.'.
Pan down to Lower Levels. There is another hallway underground a floor, this one is horizontal, with nine doors adorning it, including the elevator. Six doors are on the side facing the elevator, and the side the elevator has two doors on its side, aligned with doors on the other side. Each door has a different label, there is also a map showing the layout of each floor, bordered by that black and yellow Caution design, the boarder is about an inch thick. The map labels that the fourth basement is a cryo chamber, the third is a power plant and control centre, the second basement is an armory, more dorms, and equipment depot. Pan down to fourth basement. There are four rooms, 'Male Chambers, Male Changing Rooms', and 'Female Chambers, Female Changing Rooms.', each is connected accordingly. Pan inside the Male Chambers. There are two hundred large glass tubes, each is illuminated and ice blue, and each has an adult or child of the male persuasion within.
The camera wanders through the tubes until it comes across one tube in particular. Pan to top of tube. There is a deep yellow label with large black letters reading: Kenneth McCormick. A small LED light on his tube flicks from red to green. A small dribble of water rolls down the glass surface of the tube, the water is melted frost on the outside of the glass tube. Time passes, the tube has a floor made of perforated stainless steel where the melt water is then deposited into the ground. Kenny lay on the floor of the tube nude, in the fetal posisition, and groggy from the one hundred seventy eight year rest in the cryo tube. His blond hair slicked back from the excess melt water, Kenny rises, and stumbles around towards the change rooms.
Pan to Male Changing Rooms. Kenny enters as the ceiling lights flick on instantly, having detected motion, temporarily blinding Kenny in the process. Kenny regains his vision and focus and sees what the room looks like. The room is divided into three sections:changing rooms, showers, and bathrooms. The changing rooms have benches in the middle of the room, and the walls are lined with cubbyholes, each containing white boxer shorts, socks, and a T-shirt. The showers are all in a large room, lining the rooms walls. The bathroom is smaller than the shower, but like it, the stalls line the walls. Kenny goes into a stall and relives himself, and then goes into a shower stall and washes off the excess water, and well over a centuries worth of drug induced sleep. Kenny makes his way to the changing room, dresses himself, and goes into the main hall.
Pan to main hall. Kenny stands in front of the elevator, he presses the up button, and waits for the elevator, when he hears footsteps, altough he could sense the person coming without the sound, from behind him, to his left. He turns around to see a black haired, olive skinned girl of nine years old clad in a white T-shirt, socks and womens boxers.
Kenny: Lenni?
Lenni: Hi.(She smiles at Kenny and walks over to him. The elevator arrives, and it's doors open.)
Kenny: You first.(Smiles, Lenni steps into the elevator, Kenny follows. The elevator is walled by full length mirrors with handles protruding from the waist level. Kenny presses 3 on the elevator panel, and leans on the handle while the doors close.)
Lenni:So, you doing okay?
Kenny:Yeah, considering I don't know how long we've been frozen.
Lenni:Eh, we'll find out soon enough.
(The elevator stops, and a computerized chime plays as the doors open.)
Pan to third floor. There is a hall with a door a either end of the hall. A sign in front of the elevator reads:
Power Station.
Control Centre.
Kenny goes to the left, Lenni follows.
Pan to Power Station. The room is a fairly large one, with the free space in the shape of an L. There is a mass of engines, convertors, and other electricity producing appuratus concealed behind two walls of inch-thick, bulletproof lucite, while there are various measuring devices, computers, and various switching mechanisims. Kenny checks everything over, nods, and goes into the Control Centre.
Pan to Control Centre. The Control Centre looks like any decent high school computer room, minus the windows, cheerfully colourful posters and pin ups, and the uglyass plastic chairs that if sat in by someone in a certian way, cause severe , painful rectal bleeding.
One of the computers is turned on. Kenny looks over the monitor, nods, and he and Lenni head for the second basement.
Pan to second basement. Kenny and Lenni stepped off the elevator, into another hallway, exactly like the one below it.
The sign now reads:
Equipment Depot.
Armory.
Kenny and Lenni go into the Equipment Depot and get dressed in something more fitting. The Equipment Depot is divided into three sections. Clothing, Changing Rooms, and Equipment. Kenny and Lenni each grab some clothing from the cubbyholes, racks, and hangers, Ten minutes pass. Kenny steps out of the changing room wearing blue jeans, a deep yellow T-shirt, a denim vest, and combat boots. Lenni is wearing a light grey T-shirt, a dark grey tactical vest, and grey BDU pants with combat boots. Kenny goes into the Equipment section, followed by Lenni. Kenny grabs an M-1956 utility belt and an M-1956 bandolier, Lenni grabs a drop down holster for her right leg, and drop down ammo pouches for her left, as well as an LC-2 utility belt. They make their way to the armory. The walls have gun racks built into them, there are shelves and drawers filled with more guns, and ammunition of every kind. Kenny fills his bandolier with 20 round M16A1 clips. Kenny grabs a Colt .45. Lenni fills her mag pouches with pistol clips. She grabs a Glock 18 and holsters it. They head back down to the control centre and bring up a program that controls the thawing of those still frozen. Lenni sits at the main computer.
Lenni: So, how do we do this? I know how to work this, but should we thaw everyone out now, or do it a few at a time?
Kenny: If we do this all at once, things will get too confusing, few at a time's our best bet.
Lenni: Yeah.(Smiles, gets to work.)
Several hours later...
(Kyle, and Cartman enter the Control Centre after getting dressed. Kyle is wearing kahaki pants, a blue T-shirt, and a brown M69 flak jacket, and desert combat boots. Kyle has red hair. Cartman is wearing OD green M107 pants, combat boots, a tan T-shirt, a desert Boonie hat. They both look somewhat tired.)
Kyle: Hey guys.
Cartman: Aw, gawd, don't tell me this poor piece of shit thawed me out!
Lenni: Kenny didn't, I did. Call him that again and I'll contort your body into having rectal-cranial disease, we don't have time for this, go get something to eat, first basement, door labeled cafeteria, okay?
Kyle: Sure. But why don't you go? What's rectal-cranial disease?
Lenni: Having your head shoved up your ass. We have to stay and make sure everything works.
Kenny: Yeah, last thing we need is the generator dying on us.
Kyle: I see your point.(Leaves, Cartman is already at the elevator at the mention of food.)
A few days pass. Stan, Wendy, Ashley, Matt and Chris have all been thawed out as well, but the generator would've overheated if any more were unthawed so quickly. Wendy is dressed in a woodland camo tanktop and jeans with runners, Stan is wearing blue jeans, a dark brown BDU jacket, and a deep yellow T-shirt. Ashley and Matt are in full desert combats with webbing and rucksacks. Chris is wearing an OD green jumpsuit and a tactical vest. Ashley and Matt have M4 carbines, Berretta M9's, and frag grenades. Chris has a Glock 18, an MP5K, and a sawed-off Remington 870.
Pan to first basement, camera follows Kenny as he enters a room with some metal chairs surrounding a table. The room follows the same wall/ceiling/floor pattern as the rest of the bunker. The rest of the scamps are sitting around the table, the only spot left at the moment is at the head of the table. Kenny sits down.
Kenny:(sigh.)So, what do we do now?
Cartman: Well, ah think we should just stay here where it's safe.
Ashley: I say we do some recon, see what's changed, for all we know there could be a whole new world out there, waiting to greet us.
Cartman: AY! You listen to me bee-atch, I say we stay in, so we're staying in! (Matt slugs Cartman in the gut, his fist gets stuck.)
Matt: Oh shit, I can't get out! Help! (Ashley grabs Matt around the waist and pulls, Chris grabs Ashley around the waist and pulls as well, they manage to get Matt's fist out from Cartman's stomach.)
Kenny: It's decided then, Ashley, pick two people for recon.
Ashley: Hmm...Matt and Stan.
(Stan and Wendy look shocked.)
Wendy(Angrily.):Don't fuck with me!!!
Ashley(Confused.):Wha? Oh, you're afraid I'll steal Stan from you. No, I'm perfectly happy with Matt. Okay, get some sleep, I'll handle the gear. What kind of gun do you want Stan? Shotgun?
Stan: Uh, okay.
The next day...
Pan to entry hall. The dust has been cleaned up. Wendy, Chris, Kenny, Lenni, Cartman, and Kyle are there to bid the group farewell. Stan has a pistol grip M870 shotgun and a shell bandolier.
Wendy(has tears in her eyes.):I'll miss you Stan, be careful.(Kisses Stan on the cheek, he doesn't puke, but kisses her back. They smile at eachother.)
Kyle: Yeah, be careful guys.
Kenny: Yeah.
Cartman: Don't die Stan, or I'll never hear the end of Wendy bitchin' about it!(Gets slugged in the stomach by Wendy, who doesn't get stuck in him.)
Matt: Well, you could go instead of Stan.
Cartman: Ahh! No way!
Matt: Trust me, with Ashley and I nearby, Stan will at the most, stub his toe on something, if that even, so he's safe.
The door opens. The sky is blue, everything appears normal.
Stan: Holy shit!
Ashley: There was a forest of pine trees here when we were sent to be frozen. Where did it go?
Kenny: I dunno.
Matt: Well, let's go.(The recon party leaves, waving at the bunker until they are out of sight.)
