Jen was the first one to the coring room and sliced the metal and ran into the room.
If that kid is dead it will be all my fault I don't have to listen to Johns and I did.
Imam enters the room and calls "Ali?"
A NOISE from the supply room. Is it Ali? Just too scared to come out? Imam opens the door...
And hatchlings pour out.
Moving with a gang-intelligence, they circle the room in a wave, soar high into the rafters -- then plunge into the coring shaft, SQUEALS VANISHING to infinity. Shocked silence, then...
Ali tumbles to the ground. He's been shredded into bloody kite-tails. There was a nest inside the supply room.
Imam falls on him in grief. Johns and Fry inch forward to peer down...
The coring shaft. It's littered with human bones. The skeletons of the settlers. Scattered about and picked clean.
Jen walks to the coring shaft and drops her light init it lights all the way to the bottom, When she looks down she is in the mood for a hunt.
No one kills kids without having to deal with me.
The kids should die more you are now losing humanity every time one of them dies.
Jen growls and withdraws a gun and shoots the light which causes it to explode she turns away from the hole when she hears the screeches of the creatures she smiles. When the Chrislams go to do some prayers for Ali Imam seems surprised when Jen comes with them as well as Paris and Jack.
Against a blue sunrise, the Chrislams hold a prayer service. Paris, Jack and Jen attend. Riddick watches from afar.
Shazza questions "Why was the door chained up? Why the bloody hell would they lock themselves in like that?"
Johns then says "Not sure, but tell you what: Chrislams better not be diggin' another grave out there."
Riddick from outside says "Other buildings weren't secure..."
They turn. Riddick enters. And continues.
"..so they ran here. Heaviest doors. Thought they'd be safe inside, but..." looks down shaft "Someone forget to lock the back door."
Shazza joins him at the shaft. Gazing on the human remains "So that's what come of me Zeke. An' you saw it. You was right there." Riddick nods. "You were tryin' to kill him too."
Riddick shrugging, "Just wanted his O-2. Though I notice he tried to ghost my ass.
When he shot up that stranger instead."
Shazza can't deny it. She looks at him differently now, the man she once beat while in chains. She takes off her breather. "Take it."
Riddick suspicious inquires "What, it's broken?"
Shazza answers "Startin' to acclimate, anyhow. Take it."
Riddick accepts it awkwardly, sucks down some pure O2. Johns watches the exchange closely, not much liking the idea of Riddick being promoted to oxygen-breathing human.
Johns says to fry "Let's board this up and get the hell gone. They seem to stick to the dark, so if we stick to daylight, should be all …"
"60 years ago."
"Wha'?"
Coring samples line the room, laid out on counters. Fry's been scrutinizing them.
Fry then says "Core-samples are dated. Last one is 60 years ago. This month."
Shazza then says "Yeah? What's special about that?"
Fry "Dunno. Maybe nothing, but..." But now Fry remembers...
The orrery. The year-counter clicks over to "45" as... Fry opens the drive box and starts turning the main gear, accelerating the orbits.
CLOSE on the counter. "56...57...58...59...60."
They all see it: A giant ringed world eclipses the suns and plunges their planet into darkness. Persistent darkness.
Johns exclaims "Are you fuckin' kidding me?"
Riddick "Not afraid of the dark, are you?"
Jen enters then and says "I'm not but then not everyone can see in the dark."
Johns descends the gangway -- and finds Riddick erecting a field table in the shade of the skiff. He seems out of earshot. Now, anyway. As they trade looks, another flu-like shiver runs through Johns.
Riddick then says "Bad sign. Shakin' like that in this heat."
Johns moves on. The Chrislams appear, shouldering a roll of Vectran (wing-fabric material). They drop it on the table. Ready to cut bindings, Imam pats his hip for the knife that was just there.
Riddick looking after Johns "I'll cut it."
He has the knife.
When he walks away Jen pulls him into a dark room and kisses him, takes him a second to realize what's going on but when he does he deepens the kiss. He then shoves Jen against the wall and pushes his body against hers. He growls when Jen nibbles his neck, Jen then kisses him with more vigor.
When he bites her lip he tastes her blood from her lip and he pushes her harder against the wall and is about to remove her clothes when they both hear Jack shouting for them. When they exit they hear Paris say "You should leave them they would leave us."
When they jump aboard Paris says "We were just looking for you."
Jen cracks her neck and says "You that scared of us that you won't even admit you said you should leave us. I thought before you were a frackin mouse but now you're just a recreant."
Just then Riddick helps Johns onto the sand cat.
While on the ride to the ship Jen looks at Jack and says "When it goes dark stay near me."
Jack looks at me and says "I can look after myself."
Jen then says "Sure you can, but I didn't say you can't. There isn't only a few of those fuckers there are thousands, if those spires are nests."
Jack nods then says "Right I'll stick with you."
