1 – EXT, Beta Neacran, Day

From what is seen of Beta Neacran it is a barely inhabited desert wilderness planet, with the occasional factory warehouse building scattered here & there.

A dust storm is brewing.

A large silver, somewhat battered, spacecraft slowly descends onto the planets surface.

Benny

(Voice over)

Beta Neacran, 2605. A "crack" team of soldiers & I have been sent down by our benevolent "lord & master" Irving Braxiatel to find & locate the source of a distress call planet side relating to a mysterious virus that Brax seems more than a little interested in cataloging in his collection.

The ship carefully lands & the back unloading hatch descends.

Benny leaves the ship, followed by a group of 12 fully camouflage armored, highly armed, soldiers.

She continues leaving for a couple of feet before stopping & turning to face the soldiers.

Benny

(Authoritatively)

Right, as you all know this is a peaceful mission to track down the source of the virus & collect a sample for Brax's collection so that an antidote can be found. Now, I have a son to get back to, so keep all interaction within the planet to a minimum so we can all get back on with our lives.

Cornell, a red haired soldier steps forward

Cornell

But ma'am, Mr. Braxiatel ordered that we take our time in order to gather all necessary information.

She crosses her arms.

Benny

(Matter of a fact)

Yes, but logically the less time we spend in the "presence" of the virus the less likely we are to be infected – Correct?

Cornell

(Unwillingly accepting)

…Yes?...

Benny

(Matter of a fact)

& is "Mr. Braxiatel" here?

She uncrosses her hands, puts them on her hips & tilts her head.

Benny
No?...

Cornell sighs.

Cornell

(Unwillingly, slowly)

No…

Benny takes a few steps towards Cornell & the other soldiers and stands authoritatively in front of them.

Benny

Ergo, I'm in charge…

She looks deeply into Cornell's eyes.

Benny

(Stern, authoritative)
Now, lets go

She turns & starts advancing towards the main factory plant (which is three stories tall, with a fourth underground).

After a few moments the soldiers start following, almost unwilling to be under her "command".
